On August 25, 2019, Queen Elizabeth II and members of the royal family, that is, The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, The Earl and Countess of Wessex, Princess Anne and Autumn Philips attended the Sunday church service at Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire. Queen Victoria began worshiping at the church in 1848 and every British monarch since has worshiped there while staying at nearby Balmoral Castle. |
I love tradition on parade like this. Kate looks lovely. This is one of my favorite hats and her chignon is done well today. I hope Charles is well. He looks too florid and puffy for my liking.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it's just a sunburn (not a good thing either, of course). Spending some of his spare time enjoying his gardens at Highgrove, sans hat or sunscreen, perhaps.
DeleteBoth the queen and Kate look absolutely impeccable. Camilla, Anne and Sophie look good too as does the forever elegant Autumn Phillips.
ReplyDeleteAll lady’ hats are very gorgeous. I am happy to see happy Catharine smile.
ReplyDeleteLooks like summer is already over in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely not! It was warmer in Glasgow today than Barcelona! And temp in the north east around Balmoral was in the low twenties as is forecast for alter in the week. Think the Duchess of Cambridge came prepared for the worst of the Scottish weather, though :-)
DeletePerhaps they dress warm due to some of the old churches being pretty drafty and cold. Correct me if I'm wrong.
DeleteThe Queen looks great. I love the bright colour and the hat style. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteAs for the other ladies, nothing wrong with their ensembles but I'd have preferred to see them wearing some brighter summer colours and lighter summer hats. After all it is that season and they are on vacation... with an opportunity to be more relaxed in their public dress styles. Just my opinion.

What a great turnout, almost every one is there.The Queen looks great in this hot pink coat and hat ensemble. Kate also looks super. The other RL look their best too, from what one can see. Sad about all the controversy with Andrew. So the Family shows a United Front just as it should be. I missed the DoE for a while. I believe he like's his retired status, good for him.
ReplyDeleteLovely, all! Lol when I saw picture #4 (of HM)I do believe we have seen this exact expression on Princess Charlotte's face more than once.

ReplyDeleteThey all look great, especially Catherine and Her Majesty the Queen! But it looks like it's pretty cold there...
ReplyDeleteLike everyone’s outfit- particularly the Queen’s bright pink. Some of the fabrics seems a bit heavy to me. I didn’t think it was that cold in Scotland this time of year.

Le séjour à Balmoral est presque fini.. Peut-être que Charles a t-il juste un coup de soleil ? Il a les joues bien rouges... Camilla a l'air plus raisonnable !!!
ReplyDeleteSofie's hat looks cool. Siri
ReplyDeleteYes they look nice, but the first idea which comes to my mind is : are they on vacation OR doing an official job? OR part of the few occasions to have an official job in Scotland?
ReplyDeleteAutumn is such a cool girl
