Well a more discreet coat for once. No need of colours for the queen since they are all on the show...
ReplyDeleteBut Charlotte and George wearing the same clothes again and again. Last time was on Louis's chresteing
Deleteprincess Beatrice borrowed Sophie's dress...lol
DeleteAll of them - adults and kids, other than possibly the Queen - are wearing outfits they've worn before. Nothing wrong with that at all. They all look wonderful.
DeleteAbsolutely Anon3:40 BFR looks just wonderful.
DeleteActually Catherine is wearing a new Alexander McQueen outfit. So she is not wearing an outfit she wore before.
DeletePrincess Beatrice looks just gorgeous !
DeleteLove Duchess' Meghan's look. This is her first public appearance since showing off Baby Archie, right? ❤ and loving the vibe of both Duchesses. ❤

Anon 7:27 is just stirring the pot. It would be nice if the trash talk would come to an end.
DeleteExactly, why are you talking about life before being a royal. Give her a break!
DeleteI would ask the administrator: as far as I can remember there were no rude words in anon 7:27 comment, it just referred to the ripped jeans. Isn't this a blog about fashion and our opinion? Massive protection goes to other royals as well when we write our opinion? For example when Dutchess Catherine is criticised for her weight, queen Maxima and princess Victoria for their hair, pss Sofia for her past, etc. Or this massive defense is only for Meghan? Btw we can absolutely calm down because I am sure they don't read any kind of blog, this comment tsunami is only for us 😁
DeleteI agree with Szilvia!
DeleteDitto.
DeleteAgree, Szilvia, I can find at least two comments on this site that are not about fashion or clothes and are not removed (and I don't think they should be either) but I don't understand what are the criterions for all this.
DeleteI have not seen the original comment by Anon 7:27, but I certainly agree with Szilvia.
DeleteOh dear how bald William has turned.
ReplyDeleteSo? Great hair does not make a great "heir".
DeleteFunny that Charles, Andrew, Edward are in various stages of losing their hair and Anne still has a full head. It seems to be a male thing in that family.
DeleteMale pattern baldness is a male thing.

DeleteFranny!! 😂

DeleteActually male baldness is a genetic thing. It is inherited from the mother's side of the family. Diana's father was bald on top, her two sons are taking after her father. Harry is getting bald like his brother.
DeleteThe photos of William, Catherine and Louis - so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes , indeed.
DeleteLouis, probably the happiest baby that has ever been on the balcony. It was wonderful seeing him so joyful and waving 😅
DeleteI agree, love this buttercreme yellow on the Duchess and her cutest kids.
DeleteAgree, Coralie! Lovely!
DeleteEveryone looking good and happy.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see so many of the family and extended family together in one place, especially some of the lesser seen royals..
Actually, male pattern baldness is inherited from mother's genes. So Williams baldness is coming from Diana's side of the family and not Charles's. (And if you notice, Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, still has a head full of hair because he's getting those genes from their mother's side and not from their father who was bald.) Charles, Andrew and Edward are inheriting their baldness from the Queen's side and not from the DoE's side. Interesting how that works. Since Kate's father still has a head full of hair most likely Princes George and Louis will not bald like their father William.
ReplyDeleteVotre théorie sonne faux ,Charles et Edward n’ont pas la même calvitie et Andrew n’est pas chauve . J’ai 2 frères un totalement chauve dés 30 ans et l’autre qui a tous ses cheveux à 60 ans .
DeleteAnd yet, Myriam, it is a maternal inheritance - it doesn't mean that it will necessarily happen, just that if it does its thanks to maternal genes.
DeleteSûr Franny ! L’incertitude de l’hérédité ,mais c’est notre grand-père paternel qui avait tous ses cheveux et un neveu a la même chevelure abondante.
DeleteAt Myriam from AnonymousJune 8, 2019 at 7:17 PM:
DeleteIt's not a "my" theory it's science. Google it and research it independently yourself if you do not believe me. As for your brothers ... perhaps look into their DNA(?). To Franny, thank you.
Comme Meghan ressemble à sa maman
ReplyDeleted'accord.
DeleteSon chapeau est du même style que celui que sa mère portait pour le mariage.
Oui!
DeleteYes, really like her mother.
DeleteLovely photos of the family altogether. The Queen looks lovely, I like this primrose colour on Catherine and it's nice to see Meghan out and about.
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty light colors of spring with Catherine in lemon yellow, Sophie in a crisp green, and Camilla in aqua.
ReplyDeleteKate is wearing the hat she wore to Harry and William's wedding.
DeleteI think she wore a very long white veil to William's wedding, lol.
DeleteI think you meant Harry and Meghan. LOL
DeleteNice to see Meghan again. The 7th photo of Meghan smiling at Kate who is opposite her in the carriage is lovely. I am realizing how much Meghan resembles Sophie Winkleman, who is married to Frederick of Kent. Meghan's outfit is very conservative in design and color--she does like navy blue. The Queen's suit is a very beautiful subtly-colored fabric and is lovely in close up.
ReplyDeleteMeghan looks a lot like her mother. Kate looks so pretty and the kids adorable. The queen looks great as usual.

ReplyDeleteThe State visit and this event are not in the same category in my view.
DeleteSort of like attending a work event or your grandmother's birthday party while you are on mat leave.
Stop trolling!! Encourage women, compliment something about them , and perform random acts of kindness. Your comment is ugly.
DeleteAgree. Too mean for words.
DeleteAngieF
@Anon 10:07 one way or another, a life without consciende is a failed life.
DeleteHM is fabulous. Such a busy Queen !
ReplyDeleteDuchess Camilla looks very classy. This pastell lightgreen is one of her colours. Prince Edward looks like a proud Daddy, Lady Louise has became a real beauty.
Princess Beatrice looks lovely and so does Princess Eugenie and her handsome husband Mr Brooksbank.
All kids of the Cambridges are cute. Louis is looking very similar to George in that age and Charlottee is adorable. The pastell lightyellow is flattering on the Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess of Sussex gained some weight and nevertheless she looks radiant. It's also nice to see her out and about before she loses all pregnancy weight. Motherhood is absolutely glowing in these photos, it is clearly good for her and Prince Harry. Four weeks ago they had her baby Archie Harrison. I wish them well.
The Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) took part in her first #TroopingTheColour parade in 1947.
ReplyDeleteDuring her reign The Queen has attended Trooping the Colour every year except 1955 when it was cancelled because of the general strike. pic.twitter.com/rSrgpMAbQr
Meaghan looks very different, I hardly recognized her. Not her best look.
ReplyDeleteFrieda
What lovely event. The Family is getting larger and larger so many new members. Everyone looked lovely. Nice to see the latest two, appear on the Balcony too. Jack Brookbanks and Tom Kingston.Sadly we can't see them all side by side.The three children from William and Kate, are so different. George is more shy like William was,Charlotte more outgoing like mom,but little Louis is just pure fun to watch,he is having fun and is not one bit shy. I hope he stay's that way. All the are lovely kids.
ReplyDeleteWhich was the commend from Anon 10:07 PM was removed??. Is this blog against Freedom of Speech? I don't know what you all are talking about, maybe you should reprint it again, so I can see for myself. Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Anon 7:59 If somebody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. Thank you for your attention and understanding.
DeleteNo, Hellen should not print it again. I never saw the post but Hellen has every right and the responsibility to remove any post at any time that threatens the tone of the blog. She is ultimately responsible and answerable for content and neither you, nor any one person here, needs to tell her what to do. This is an excelllent blog largely because of Hellen's judgement. Some posters cry Freedom of Speech to justify trolling. It needs to be stopped.
DeleteAnon wrote: "She finally learned to be royal and not wearing torn jeans. "
Deletethat's not true at all.
After Meghan got engaged, have you ever seen her in torn jeans? i think that's why it's been deleted. as for me a correct decision.
In another comment that has been deleted, about Trump and Meghan. Anon said: "Meghan, not met the president on his trip, despite being the only American member of the royal family. but she attended Trooping the Colour after Trump visit. because she not want to see President."
DeleteIt's wrong, because, Meghan on maternity leave. On maternity leave, there’s a fairly straightforward rule, family events are one thing, official engagements are another.
Duchess Meghan s dress is nice, blue suits her. Her face is quite swollen, maybe her hair down would have looked better.
ReplyDeleteNext time she will let her hair down.
DeleteLovely outfits. My particular favourites are Catherine’s beautiful sunshine yellow, Eugenie’s floral with perfectly matching hat and Autumn Phillips glorious purple. I think it’s great to see the Cambridge children in repeat and hand me down outfits. When children grow so fast it’s such a waste to spend much on their clothes, even if they can well afford to do so. The Phillips and Tindall children seem to be the same.
ReplyDeleteSpot on about the childrens clothes.
DeleteThe Queen, Camilla and Kate
are always looking very classic and regal …… except for their 'Ascot hats'! Very British,but too much!!!
Freedom of speech is in regards to the government not infringing on a citizen's right to do so. This is someone's personal blog. They can essentially do whatever they see as fit.
ReplyDeleteElle peut aussi écrire les commentaires elle même
DeleteOui, et je pratique ma liberté d'expression par vous informer :)
DeleteEn plus, on a déjà accès aux règles que hellen-electra définit pour son blog quand on entrer des commentaires à publier, mais il semble que certaines personnes l'aient oubliée.
if we want to have a balanced blog, I suggest that we don't hide behind "anonymous" any longer and take responsibility for what w write down. I think our own common sense should be enough censorship for this to be an interesting place about royal fashion and not slurs - of any kind. Can we not just be decent without anyone policing us? How does one who writes man things about other human being (whom they likely never met, never mind actually known) feel on the inside? What kind of soul does that? Just keep to your innate decency and all will be fine. I don't understand why anonymity gives some the sense of "permission" to be a monster (unless they are otherwise mentally incapacitated). So my point: let's NOT admit any (any) anonymous postings. If anyone has anything to say, thy should be able to stand by their own words. Let's see what kind of dialogue that would prompt.
ReplyDeleteBack to fashion: everyone looks lovely, indeed. Any so true to themselves in terms of style. I am very glad that their respective styles are so different, the diversity is exciting. Catherine's dress is exquisite and shows Sarah Burton's craftsmanship. It's a slight departure from her previous dresses for the duchess and the colour works so well. It's interesting for me to see that Megan has gone back to her "trusted" navy even for a summer event. True, it's slimming and I know she feels the extra weight, even if it is for all the best reasons (I remember after my first daughter was born, I felt like a balloon). And navy suits her, for sure. I love that she has gone for the more restrained hat (same goes to Autumn - perfect to balance the very bright dress she was wearing). Certainly interesting choice from Beatrice, but also refreshing: nothing wrong with wearing the same dress that another royal has worn before (i highly doubt she "borrowed" it from Sophie).
Since I can remember, these balcony shoots were all about the kids in fact. And this year was no disappointment. What they are dressed in was never the point. Their personalities (or small glimpses into their personalities) are always more fascinating to see. Louis seems to have more of Charlotte's personality than George's (certainly gets more excited by the things surrounding him) and he... loves his papa! How sweet is that (that photo of Louis reaching towards William isn't in this blog, but widely available on all news sites). Not often you see kids in mum's arms reaching for their father. And I certainly appreciate that Catherine has dressed him in a hand-me-down from Harry - excellent choice.
Like other said, Louise is now all gown up (and tall for her age, I think) - so she is getting the young lady outfits - no longer the girly ones (although Sophie hasn't dressed her daughter in too many frills and ruffles even when she was little). I like the hat, I would imagine it's difficult for her to get used to wearing a headgear when girls her age don't.
Alright then. Enough said. Let's make this event just another reason to celebrate diversity - it's a great thing to have!
Liv Alba, I fully agree with you. I think that many of these are the same person writing derogatory comments against the people they dislike, just to stir the pot, and then they answer agreeing with themselves. I am all for freedom of speech, but your freedom ends when you comments are meant to hurt others, when you spread lies, and when you use a platform to judge people that you don't know. This is a private blog, and the moderator uses her own criteria in order to maintain a civilized site, there are many other places in social media where these trolls can express their hate. I applaud Ms. Electra for her class and common sense, and for those that don't want to be ever censured, they can leave anytime.
ReplyDeleteTo Anon 6/10 at 12;06 PM and Anon 6/10 at 1;35 PM. Thank you for trying to explain the post. I like to say to each his or her own. So again thank you for the time you spent on this.
ReplyDeleteThere's already a lot written down, but I also want to share my opinion, so here I go :-)
ReplyDeleteFor me, Kate is the winner. The soft yellow is very nice on her, a colour we do not often see her with. The coatdress is very nice and well styled with her updo and hat. Her children look sweet and adorable, lovely. I adore the Cambridges, they look so happy, relaxed and down-to-earth and it's nice to see the different personalities of the children. And they're all so good-looking and pretty! (Am I the only one who thought it looked like Louis was pushing his mothers hair out of the way?!, haha!)
I also like to see Meghan 'back in business', the blue colour suits her very well. I do not like her hair so tight pulled back, but the hat is nice.
Beatrice and Autumn both look good too, I really like Beatrice's dress a lot, and that is not usual for me ;-) The colour of Autumn's dress is great.
Sophie and Camilla are nice too. Both green colours look great on them.
And from close sight, I love the soft shades of all the different colours in the coat of the Queen. Nice touch; from far it looks more like grey but it definitely isn't!
