On May 11, 2022, The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall and Princess Anne attended the first Garden Party of the season at Buckingham Palace in London. Other royals in attendance included the Duke of Kent as well as Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. The royal family greeted many of the 8,000 guests who were invited to the palace's gardens to recognize their public service. Because of the pandemic, the traditional garden parties at the palace had not been held for three years.
Camilla ( and Charles!) are elegant and well dressed, but Princess Ann is a miracle of elegance and good, original taste here!
ReplyDeleteLove it/her,

Agree, Princess Anne is at her very best! Stunning look for her!
DeleteAnon 22,17 agree with you, The Princess Royal looks superb.
DeleteCamilla's dress looks like a riff on Wedgewood, and Anne's coat looks like it was inspired by a red Ming vase. However..I like them both and think that both ladies look smart for this event if not too summery, especially Anne, who might have thought it was November. The outfits fit each lady properly and are in tandem with their particular degree of style.
ReplyDeletePity that it rained so much, but they are not letting that stop them from having a good time with their 8,000 guests.

Wonderful to see garden parties are back. They all look great. Mary
ReplyDeleteI like princess Anne outfit . Lovely colors and very well fit . She really looks elegant .
ReplyDeleteLove Camilla's bright blue coat and hat and no two tone shoes today, thankfully. I also like Princess Anne's red coat but not sure if the green hat is the perfect match for it. Shame it was raining. There are really nice photos of Princess Anne with Princess Astrid in London yesterday. and it's another good outfit for Anne. Would it be possible to post them, Helen? We don't see enough of these two.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the photos of princess Anne and princess Astrid. Can you AnniM tell where they were posted? I am surprised that they are not posted here.
DeleteHi, Cathrine. The wonderful Helen has now put up a post about Princess Astrid's visit to UK, showing her at Oxford University to visit Princess Elisabeth. The photos I saw when she met Prince Charles and laid a wreath at the memorial to Edith Cavill were on the site Royal Musings.
DeleteP. Anne looks wonderful here. The colours and fit of the coat are excellent. She is clearly enjoying the event. D. Camilla is wearing a familiar silhouette in a lovely colour. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I love both outfits!
DeletePrincess Anne coat fabric and colors and hat match very well together. She looks very nice when she smiles.

I love Princess Ann's outfit ;a goat of many colours; she looks chique, her hat and shoes look very stylish. D.Cornwall looks good ,I like her earrings and her hat is stylish.(Tabby)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue ensemble for Camilla. Charles looks quite dapper. But, Anne!!! She's a show stopper today. That coat is gorgeous!!! Then she's got her hat on at such a jaunty angle and her umbrella has the Mary Poppins-style handle. I think she'd laugh her head off to be called elegant or chic because that is not her wheelhouse--but she is both today.

Princess Anne's coat is ugly and her green hat does not help either, but she seems engaging and has a beautiful smile. Duchess of Cornwall is wearing the same old outfit in a different fabric.Her hat is too big, the only positive comment is that the colour blue suits her very well.

I love Princess Annes coat.
ReplyDeleteLong time lurker first time commenter. WOW Anne’s outfit is PHENOMENAL, not just relative to her but by any standard. So so chic. Amazing coat and cut. Camilla’s coat is great as well. I’m impressed by the collective fashion turn out today. 💯

Princess Anne had the outfit of the day, well except the white colored stockings. Camilla looked like a piece of china with the blue and white pattern. Thankfully she didnt wear black boots.
ReplyDeleteThe boots are with the cobbler having an overhall for the autumn/winter season of 2022/23. Don't worry they'll be back.
DeleteBoth ladies look lovely, Anne in particular. Charles looks very dapper.

Can't say I like either of these outfits. So the winner is Prince Charles 🤣😂
ReplyDeleteReally like PA's coat, but don't understand the green(?) hat (I love its model and it suits the princess very well). The blue dress as well dress coat suit the DoC excellent, but the whitish gloves and shoes spoil the overall look a bit for me. A more delicate pair of gloves (lace) would have my preference.

J'ai tout de suite remarqué que la princesse Anne était magnifique dans ce manteau aux couleurs très bien choisies jusque dans son chapeau dont j'adore le vert; quant à Camilla, tenue toujours dans le même style mais dont le bleu est bien plus agréable à regarder ainsi que son nouveau chapeau même s'il est un peu trop volumineux !
ReplyDeletePrincess Anne looks years younger in these pictures. Love her coat. Her hat, though pretty, does not seem to match. Perhaps there is a bit of green in the coat that does not show up in the photos. At any rate, Anne looks fabulous! The Duchess's coat and hat are par for the course. This is what is comfortable for her. I love her earrings. Prince Charles looks very royal.

I agree with your comments on Princess Anne's coat. It is a long time ago that I've seen her with such lovely clothes. The hat is beautiful too, pity it is not in one of the colors we can find in the coat. If her shoes, handbag and gloves matched better too it would have been perfect. Those white tights are not elegant at all and should be replaced by a natural color.
DeleteWe can see her raw silk dress peeking out from under her coat in one of the photos. Perhaps in her mind she was trying to match the hat with the dress? Can never be sure with her choices.

Duches Camilla looks geat and Princess Anne also if you forget her mismatching hat
ReplyDeleteThe Princess Royal looks divine. I think the green hat is blending with her dress under her coat, difficult to make out. I love the coat, and scarf. Her dark matching accessories, right down to her gloves look fabulous. She looks stylish and elegant. The Duchess's blue coat and dress underneath work well, she looks very smart and chic. I love the change of nude coloured shoes. Prince Charles looks very well groomed.
