does sound about right
i do love the blue
i read today the Queen mum didnt like the red as Wallis wore it
i think the Queen mum naturally influenced her very dutiful daughter in many ways

I'm always reminded of this interaction between Queen Mary and the Duchess of Kent (Marina). The anecdote goes that when QM saw her daughter-in-law's red nail polish, she exclaimed "My husband doesn't approve of painted nails", to which Marina, being the confident fashionable princess she always was, replied "Well, mine does".
Not sure how credible that is, but I can well imagine it being true.

Work-life balance this week meant more work and less balance. I don't have anything to report and the Duke is still a pupil, I'm afraid.

its hard to see HM:s brooch but Queen Cam met with Mrs. Zelenska, the wife of the President of UKraine on 28th Feb at Clarence house

 

[SparklieBug]

There were some beautiful looking pearls at the service!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i re-came (is that even a word) accross this yesterday, it was from before our corrination, but i just love HM's pearls

its from the state banquet in honour of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron

@dk168 i kept thinking about this when im looking at @Lunean 's thread with the red and orange stones
i can remember being stunned by this at the time, it was just outragouse to me
i would never have put pink with red but Diana had the confidence to pull it off and make it look iconic

 

[dk168]

@Daisys and Diamonds the colour combination in the outfit and the difference in colour saturation are very different to the CS stones combination that you were referring to, not like for like, IMHO, sorry!

i know,
it just went through my head at the time
i actually googled Diana, red and orange but it was not to be
but the late princess did wear a surprising amount of orange, just none with red that i could see

The tune of "Lady in Red" immediately popped in my head. Agreed - these are some fabulous pearls.

Queen Mathilde of the Belgians is in the Ivory coast for the UN for her 51st birthday
pictures not in order



Queen Mathilde of Belgium is making a working visit to Ivory Coast (Côte d Ivoire) from March 3 to 6 in her capacity as UN Advocate for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). On the evening of March 3, Queen Mathilde arrived in Abidjan and was welcomed by Minister of Planning and Development of the Republic of Côte d Ivoire Niale Kaba at Felix Houphouet Boigny International Airport. Abidjan is the largest city and the economic capital of the Ivory Coast.

im sorry i dont know who these other people are, either govt or UN

but i love cultures that wear jewlery


n the third day of her visit to Ivory Coast, Queen Mathilde visited the ECAM Cocoa Farmers’ Cooperative Meagui, San-Pedro, Ivory Coast. The Entreprise Cooperative des Agriculteurs de Meagui (ECAM) was created in 2004 on the initiative of 87 cocoa producers, including Assata Doumbia.
i wonder if this is wear Belgian chocolate comes from ?

The Duchess of Edinburgh looked chic in a brown ensemble as she visited Right Stuff Amateur Boxing Club in Staffordshire

my screen is off, HRH looks in dusky rose to me


very pretty hair and a good earring shot while in

Staffordshire​

i think this is something to look forward to, i would think The King cant do it because if he is having chemo is immune system will be compromised and William is looking after Catherine and the children
we might get to see a new (to Cam) brooch, something the late Queen wore for this
maybe

Queen Camilla will become the first consort to hand out Maundy gifts

Camilla, 75, will deputise for Charles, who is continuing to receive treatment for cancer , when the ancient ceremony is held at Worcester Cathedral on March 28.

from 2019

from 2022 when Charles stood in for his mother

The Princess Royal visited the Queen Elizabeth 2 Hotel in Dubai on March 1, 2024
maybe to hot for a brooch
everdently this dress is like 46 years old first being worn by the Princess in 1978
that day we had a brooch

Princess Eugenie was seen leaving a central London restaurant
and not a knew picture of Fergie, but good news her skin cancer has not spread

i dont take much interest in the Kent and Gloucester offspring
Lady Amelia Windsor looked typically stylish on Tuesday evening as she attended the premiere of Guy Ritchie's upcoming Netflix series The Gentlemen in London.
a granddaughter of the Duke of Kent
great great granddaughters (and great great grandsons) of George V & Queen Mary are getting a little remote for me unless they are a Mountbatten Windsor

but she did have lots of bling going on which is always good

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i think we missed this late last month
HSH hosted a charity gala for the Princess Charlène Foundation of Monaco and the children of the Courchevel Sports Club.

shame, i was hoping for a necklace

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

oh, it was the owl brooch on this dress

i guess this is a Van Cleef & Arpels’s “Lucky Animals”
they just dont do it for me when we have a lifetimes of Queen Elizabeth's brooches to dip into
they remind me of Wade Whimsy animals from back in the day -but more expensive and overrated

i got a few of these for my birthday when i was about 10

I might put that on the summer break list. My summer teaching break though, sadly, gets shorter every year. Only three weeks this summer.

three weeks ????????????????
sad sad sad Lady Maria
our schools have only just gone back (well beginning of Feb) but high schools usually finish up the first week of December when the juniors finally finish, seemingly weeks after the seniors went into exams (our high schools are 5 years) and dont go back till either the very beggining of Feb or maybe the last day of Jan for a teacher only day or junior orintation

very good article on why we arnt seeing the pictures of the POW that appared in the US (im pretty sure no one published them here either, although we do get that terrible Aussie mag New Idea here*)

Why Is the British Media Not Reporting What Is Wrong With Kate Middleton?

The UK media did not publish paparazzi images of the Princess of Wales taken this week.

www.townandcountrymag.com

we havn't forgotten what HRH looks like


* they really are the most dispicable publication (they did) they have been posting horrible gossip about Princess Mary since she married Fred and they publish blantent lies about Charles and Cam as staple (maybe i should say stable) fodder, they are also the publication that broke the story about Prince Harry when he was in Afganistan
