  1. Au premier abord, le peu de la robe à gros pois de la duchesse d’Edimbourg n’était pas vraiment à mon goût - J’ai changé d’avis quand je l’ai vue sur le mannequin ; très chic !

      Why so negative?
      Sophie in a different style: very good.
      Queen Camilla: very dark. Cannot see it very well but I think she wears a good dress.

  3. The Duchess of Gloucester has a fantastic complexion and skin! She is dignity and elegance personified. Nice soft colour of the blouse and winter chic with the vest. Sofie looks really good here too although I prefer her hair up, very nice dress from what we can see.

    The King looks very put together, not his typical blue suit. Crisp white shirt, handsome grey tie. D of Gloucester has an interesting pin.

    I always admire the Duchess of Gloucester's hair style. She must have a very good hair stylist. She has also a beautiful skin. Almost no wrinkles in her face.
    I cannot see the full length of the Duchess of Edinburgh's dress, but if it is too long as usual, I think it is not a good idea for her. She desperately tries to buy dresses and other clothes by brands bought by other royal ladies but she rarely find items which suit her.

      Can’t go wrong with a Carolina Herrera dress, especially if she has nice narrow heel pump.

  6. I always get excited when I see black, Queen Camilla with her beautiful suit trimmed in what looks like black velvet is so elegant. I also like that Duchess Sophie is staying true to her style but in black. Everyone must have received the memo, black is sooooo elegant anytime of the year!

    The Duchess of G is a true beauty and love her blouse, vest and pin outfit here. The Queen looks lovely. Duchess of E, well, I really think she could use a stylist. The dress itself is okay but the jewelry, hair, and makeup are not doing her any favors. A few small tweaks could really enhance her natural beauty and elevate her presence to the level of her position.

      “Elevate her presence”? - not needed for Sophie. She holds herself beautifully, approaches others with grace and gentleness, is always beautifully presented in the clothing she enjoys, and is a member of the royal family which also accords status.

    Nice to see not only the Queen but also the DoE and the DoG there as well. Black is the color of the day. I must say the DoG looks fantastic.

  9. The Duchess of Gloucester looks beautiful. She is always so well groomed and attired. I like what she is wearing, from what I can see, particularly the pin at her neckline. This looks great. Her hair looks splendid, this style suits her well, its styled beautifully. Sophie looks splendid. I love the Queen's pearl choker.

  10. Je suis revenue sur la broche de la duchesse de Gloucester qui ressemble à une épingle sur laquelle je crois voir trois sortes de petits pendentifs dont celui du centre diamants/turquoise ?!

    Dear Anonymous 16:27, Of course Duchess Sophie has a stylist. Very busy professional women have people who choose outfits for them or shops present a selection, but the wearers make the final choice whatever the stylist recommends. I remember the ex chancellor of Germany, Mrs. Merkel, always marched around like a male politician, although she looked impeccable, and she refused to change her style despite well-meant advice and a custom-made warderobe.
