On April 17, 2022, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn, Princess Eugenie, Peter Philips and his daughters Isla and Savannah, Mike, Zara and Mia Tindall attended the Easter service at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in Windsor.

the women are dressed for different seasons
ReplyDeleteNot to be rude, but... So what??! They're wearing what they're comfortable wearing. Why this obsession among commenters here for dressing for a certain season or - horrors - dark colors? We see an assortment of different colors; I would hate to see a parade of all pink & blue pastels, it would look silly. *Regina
DeleteAgree with Regina but actually I disagree about the season - I think they are all dressed for spring.

Kate and Will leading the way is what the future looks like, and they don’t have the magic that the queen or Diana had. Quite boring without the queen.
DeleteAbby
Happy Easter at Windsor. All of them look splended. Glad Duchess Catherine is back to her signature uniform, fits her like a glove and skyiceblue is a fresh colour. All in all exceptional as always. Marie
ReplyDeleteZara Tindall wears this polkadot much better than the model.
ReplyDeleteYA
No she does not, the model is thinner.
DeleteAnd thinner must always look better?! In my opinion this type of retro dress actually looks better on a woman with curves, so I agree with YA that it looks better on Zara.
DeleteKatherine looks beautiful in blue coat .Love the way she dresses her little girl.
ReplyDeleteAva
Great to see Kate head of the pack. That is one classy look - love that coat weve seen before. Slightly disappointed in the bandeau - for me it clashes with the rest of the outfit - would have preferred a proper hat, along with some royal bling from HM.
ReplyDeleteSophie looks very Sophie - nice but predictable but good to see a classy rewear. Hat is a also a rewear - from 2013!
Lady Louise looks very grown-up especially in her high heels. Nice dress. Hat looks good (but scared its a loan from the Duchess of Gloucester who has a penchant for an oversized beret!!)
Eugenie - nice but nothing special.
Zara looks good in this LK Bennett dress- nice shorter length, and great matching hat. Personally not keen on the block heels - look more workwear - would prefer either something more delicate, or retro to go with the dress.

The families looked lovely, classic spring colored frocks and head pieces. The men looked dapper in their suits. Lady Sarah Chatto was especially pretty in her frock.
ReplyDeleteThe Cambridges look adorable. And so do Sophie and young Lady Louise.
ReplyDeleteKate : what an amazing outfit. The colour is so very good on her and gives a real spring feeling. And then the model of this dress-coat. The knee length and wonderful circle skirt makes her fragile figure look so very elegant. Charlotte: love this classic dresses for young girls. Rest of the ladies, sorry, too much flower prints and long frumpy dresses

Quelques tenues printanières même si certaines sont vraiment classiques ; j'aime beaucoup le manteau déjà porté de Kate ainsi que le style de son nouveau bandeau ; adorable la petite robe smockée de Charlotte ! Est-ce que j'ai raté une photo mais je ne pense avoir remarqué lady Sarah Chatto citée précédemment ?
ReplyDeleteBonjour Tulipe,
DeleteLa tenue de Lady Chatto est visible dans d'autres reportages sur Internet. Elle est très élégante et son chapeau (qu'elle a déjà porté à d'autres occasions) lui va à ravir!

DeleteMerci beaucoup car j'ai réussi à trouver une photo où Lady Chatto apparaît très élégante ; tout est parfait dans sa tenue, elle a donc ma préférence parmi toutes ces dames !
The strange thing about Lady Louise is that she has gone from dressing too young for her age to dressing too old. She looks like she borrowed her clothes from someone 30+ years older.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same about Lady Louise. She is always dressed too old for her age. Does her mother don't see that ?
DeleteLouise still has university ahead of her, but if she wants and chooses, she would be ideal as a working member of the Royal Family in the foreseeable future. She is already showing that the right qualities are within her. She was very close to her grandfather, Prince Philip and spoke movingly of him in the filmed family tribute to him that was aired on the BBC.
Delete@Beverly24 17/4/22
DeleteAll you write about Lady Louise is correct but that is no reason to dress like someone who could be her grandmother. The hat is a disaster !
They all look nice and dressed to their individual styles for the Easter Sunday service.
ReplyDeleteThat said, you can really see how the solid color that Catherine is wearing stands out in a regal manner as opposed to the various prints on the other ladies.
You are so correct.
DeleteToo busy prints or shiny fabrics never photograph well and many gals dont think about that when choosing an outfit.
Catherine's solid color is perfect.
...Marie
Everyone looks wonderful! The only dress I don't like is Sophie's--never been a fan of this dress as I do not like the print. Louise looks smashing!
ReplyDeleteAlthough she is dressed in her usual style Duchess Catherine, except for the silly bandeau, is the best dressed here. All the other ladies wear dresses to go to the local market on a sunny morning. All are wearing stupid little hats or silly bandeau's. I wonder why Princess Charlotte must still wear a smocked dress, the same style she wore when she was 2 years old. The light blue panties are not lovely. She should have worn white socks like the other little girls in the group.
ReplyDeleteWell, I used to wear smocked dresses till the age of 10, and loved them as much as my mother did!
DeleteMabel
Smocked dresses are perfectly acceptable for little girls of Charlotte's age. Panties are not what you appear to think they are - I think the light blue tights look fine with the dress.
DeleteIn my country children wear modern clothes. If a girl of the age of Charlotte would wear a dress like hers she would be criticized by her friends and laughed out. We are living in the 21st century. There are beautiful dresses, skirts, coats, shoes, etc.. for girls of that age.
DeleteFortunately in the UK little girls of Charlotte's age can still dress like a little girl without being laughed at. It's a classic little girl's dress not a crinoline or bustle.
DeleteThe Cambridges look great, color-coordinated and all that; the flowery dresses far less of a success, I think...especially Louise's, I think it looks a bit frumpy and she's too young for that dress.
ReplyDeleteKatherine is back to her uniform, and yet she looks better than anybody else, I love the head piece and her earrings, not to mention the shoes that are divine! Can’t bring myself to comment on the other ladies, nothing remarkable, prints can be glorious, but these are just wintery and dull. I like Zara’s dress on the model, but somehow it looks matronly on her, perhaps that busy hat?
ReplyDeleteCherry
Give me the bandeaux any time (today only). Zara's hat looks like something that fell off a pastry/dessert cart.

Absolutely loved the bandeau. Colour, style, coordination with the rest of the outfit. Ten out of ten, Kate
ReplyDelete@Duchess Kate
DeleteI appriciate your peronal comment very much though I did not expect..

Those headpieces are real fashion disasters, a big no to all of them. - Siri
ReplyDeleteKate looks a bit old Hollywood;the skirt of the dress appears to have too much volume,the hat is so old fashioned .Charlotte looks fine.It's hard to look like the perfect family. Zara looks great;as do the other children(Tara)
ReplyDeleteKate looks classical, elegant & regal
ReplyDelete.I love her dress coat especially the pleats it just all flows. .& her hat is also classical & regal just sets things off beautifully her hair looks luscious & healthy. Mary
I like the full length burgundy robe in the last 5 photos the best.
ReplyDeleteGranted it is a couple of inches too short and is a little high-waisted and needs some work on the back, but it falls beautifully. Furthermore, given the choices of the others, the wearer made the right decision to forgo wearing a hat.

I need to make a guess: are you referring to the robe the minister (Dean of Windsor, I presume) is wearing? If so, it's what he needs to wear in his position as a cleric. It has nothing to do with fashion and that he was foregoing to wear a hat is only natural, as no hat, except a mitre perhaps, would be part of his outfit - so your comment seems somewhat off the mark. Could also be that your remark was meant ironically...
Delete@DSC: My comment was 100% a joke since everyone was being so critical about all the womens dresses and headgear, but after reading your comment I think it would be funnier if I had been serious, lol.
DeleteBless you and thank you for making me smile... at my own joke :)

I think it was lovely to see so many of them there to represent the Queen on this special day.
ReplyDeleteCatherine looks so elegant in this outfit, the head piece is very on trend and just makes the outfit a little more fun.
Lady Louise is growing into a very pretty young woman. That smile and those dimples just beautiful.
Her dress could be a little younger in style, but it is church she is going to not a party.
Catherine looks fabulous, this dress looks great, it flows beautifully, love the color, this style of dress suits her so well. Zara looks terrific wearing the polka dot dress, very stylish. Lady Louise looks absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteLady Louise has very beautiful face but very seldom she is dressed for her age .
ReplyDeleteAva
Catherine looks really lovely in light blue. Regal look that is elegant, classical and timeless. Also like the dress what Lady Louise wear (the colors look very lovely).
ReplyDeleteKaarin
The ice-blue colour of the dress coat the DoC wears suits her wonderful, but there it stops for me. There's too much fabric in the skirt part and the bandeau somehow ages her (it might be the colour). I do like the print of PE dress, but it seems a bit tight. The hairband looks great on her. LL looks great in her dress, but the moment you think about her age a more youthful look would has to be recommended.
ReplyDeleteMCS
Why are princess Anne and prince Charles not there ?
ReplyDeleteCharles and Camilla always go to Scotland for Easter. Maybe Anne stayed behind at the Castle with the Queen?
DeleteWow, Duchess Catherine is beaming, she is so beautiful in her dusty blue dress-coat , shoes and bag.
ReplyDeleteAll the Cambridges look smashing .
Love Lady Louise hair and face but I would suggest choosing age appropriate clothes for her( her shoes look great though).
Zara and Countess Sophie are so beautiful too.
P. the original. So lovely to see your comments P. have missed reading your thoughts. You always have a great subtly of your points of view. A pleasure to read.

Hi P. the original,
DeleteP, You have nothing to apologise for, I have never read mistakes in any of your comments!
Nor for that matter, nasty remarks in your comments, which for me is so refreshing and lovely. You always make very valid points, which on occasion I have learnt from.
Please keep your contributions coming P. your missed on this blog when your not commenting, and take care.
Dearest Ava,
ReplyDeletethank you again for your nice and kind words.
I'll come back here whenever I've got some time for a pause.
Hugs.

Eugenie's headband looks like a diaper. It made me laugh. I'm sure it looked better in person. William, Catherine and family look lovely as always.
ReplyDeleteLady Louise is stunning as she matures.
