President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, are making a three-day State Visit to the United Kingdom. On the evening of July 8, King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted a State Banquet at Windsor Castle in honor of the French President and First Lady. The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the State Banquet at Windsor Castle, held to honor France’s President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron.
For the State Banquet, Queen Camilla wore an ivory silk and crepe embroidered evening gown by Fiona Clare, paired with a sapphire and diamond tiara, necklace, earrings, and bracelet—part of Queen Elizabeth II’s sapphire suite. The George VI Victorian suite of sapphire jewels was a wedding gift to Queen Elizabeth II from her father in 1947.
The Princess of Wales wore a dark red gown by Givenchy, designed by Sarah Burton. She paired it with an evening clutch embroidered with a lily of the valley motif and the Lover’s Knot Tiara. Created by the House of Garrard in 1913, the diadem features diamonds and 19 hanging pearls set in silver and gold. The tiara was also a favorite of the late Princess Diana.
The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the State Banquet at Windsor Castle, held to honor France’s President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron. Other members of the Royal Family in attendance included the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo taken before leaving for the banquet. 'Ready for what promises to be a wonderful State Banquet this evening in Windsor,' the caption read.
La robe de la princesse de Galles est d’une belle couleur : bourgogne. J’affectionne particulièrement ce ton.
ReplyDeleteDe même que celle de madame Macron.
Ce qui me dérange, ce sont ces capes. Je les trouve superflues. Tant sur la robe de la princesse de Galles que sur celle de madame Macron.
J’estime qu’elles ne leur apportent guère une plus-value.
La robe de la princesse de Galles est simple. Je n’ai pas l’effet « waouh » escompté. Par contre, j’affectionne sa pochette et les bijoux choisis.
J’ai une préférence pour la robe de madame Macron, mais sans la cape.
Ces messieurs sont élégants.

Catherine looks stunning, love her jewel choices. T Duchess of Gloucester looks immaculately groomed. Her gown and jewellery is perfect. Madame Macron looks beautiful, love her gown, the colour is sublime.
ReplyDeleteMme Macron est splendide.
ReplyDeleteCatherine va être épuisée par cette soirée.
La Duchesse de Gloucester est toujours aussi magnifique
All the ladies look elegant.
ReplyDeleteWow! Think I love everything here tonight. The Princess of Wales fabulous red gown, Mme Macron’s beautiful deep blue and though I’m a wee bit disappointed not to have more colour, Queen Camilla, the Princess Royal, Duchess of Gloucester all look great. I’m not too sure about the dress worn by the Duchess of Edinburgh but her shoes are gorgeous. The jewellery on display is pretty impressive and the gentlemen are all looking good too. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteCamilla looks great. That sapphire parure is gorgeous and although the tiara isn't exactly harmonious and graceful, it suits her very well. Maybe because of the volume of her hair. I think the colors of her outfit are a tribute to France. Brigitte looks good too, although I'm not a fan of the cape. Same with Kate, but the dress and the color are beautiful and she looks good. Sophie's dress without those puffy sleeves would be a little better.
ReplyDeleteI think something revolutionary happened - Queen Camilla' brows are somehow tamed. They seem to offer less in volume, more in control and maybe a bit lighter in colour? I don't like: Catherines's robe, neither the form, nor the cape, nor the colour, and her eye makeup is strange. Sophie's gown is below any level where one could try to find an excuse or something positive. The Duchess of G. and the Princess Royal are equally praiseworthy, nothing special but looking good and elegant. I even think that Anne had her hair done (instead putting it up herself).
ReplyDeleteI’m in total agreement with everything said.
DeleteWell, Camilla is in her uniform as usual, Macron looks like a little boy playing dress up, and Kate, well, she looks comfortable.
ReplyDeleteMadame Macron outshines everyone and she doesn’t need jeweled tiaras to capture attention. Her blue cape gown hangs gracefully in a chic and truly elegant design. Catherine’s cape gown is very nice, but seems to have to much fabric in the skirt. Also a true winner is the Duchess of Gloucester in a simple and very tasteful white gown. She always looks stunning and carries herself so well.
ReplyDeleteRed in not a great color on Kate! @teasuremind
ReplyDeleteThe best dressed is the First Lady, Macron and I won’t make any comments on the other ladies.🤐
