    Bea had a good streak going but, alas, I guess all good things have to come to an end. :(

    I really loves the Queen's outfit. Very nice not to see her in blue! My favourite is Zara. She is beautiful, classy but lots of fun. I love the way she dresses. And her hat is perfect with the dress and for Ascot. Not a big fan of Beatrice's dress and headpiece.

    Camilla looks lovely in her signature style (hat and suit) and monochromatic cream colour, but the best today are Zara and Birgitte, Duchess of Glouchester. Smart and elegant.
    Who is that riding in the carriage with P. Anne? Camilla's sister? (or Camilla's twin? lol)

    I love this event, such a d is display of beauty and tradition!
    A comment about Mike Tindall, I never found him particularly handsome, he has such a calm and kind expression that is a nice have to see, plus he has been very well in his role, always around supporting the family, never seeking attention for himself. Again i wouldn't be surprised if in s few years time they, he and Zara, jump in as a working royals.

      There has been on/off talk about the Tindalls moving permanently to Australia.
      I think they have had to put the plan on hold several times due to major events in the royal family e.g. the death of QEII.
      They appear to spend a lot of private time in Australia each year.
      They first met each other whilst in Sydney.

  8. QC unpacked QETQM's shell brooch. And wore a Dior outfit. The DoG looking mighty fine yet again. Zara Tindall is the winner of today for me.

    Is it cold again in the U.K. ? They all are dressed with long sleeves and closed until the neck or with a coat on top of their dress. Nobody is dressed to my taste.

      What do you mean? Perhaps you need help, I wonder. Do you have a name by chance?

      Calm down. I believe all she or he is saying is that Bea's outfit is not the best. If so, I agree. She has had some really good ones over recent weeks but this one is not good. Bad "hat" *especially* for Ascot, ugly bag, and a dull dress. It's an off day for Bea. She needs help.

      Oh yeah, my name is Europa

  12. The Duchess of Gloucester looks superb, love her coat dress. Her use of jewels is perfection. I love her pieces. She looks stunning.
    The Queen looks lovely. Her diamond shell brooch is sensational, one of my favorites.
    Pss Beatrice's dress I don't like this at all.
    Zara looks very attractive in this dress. Her accessories, shoes, clutch and hat look superb. I particularly love her shoes. Lovely presentation.

  14. I will be the outlier and say that I dislike Zara's dress. The print looks exactly like a bedspread in a mid-level hotel room in 1986. The boater hat is cute, though, and I love her earrings.

    Some occasions make me more sad than others without the late Queen. Princess Anne and the Duchess of G. look both very much like we expect them to in a good way. Zara: this length and the closed neckline clashes with pastelly flowery designs for me, it gets simply too much. Hat is good. Bea: No. As if she was late and randomly picked dress, hat, shoes.

  19. Tout est parfait chez Zara qui est très féminine dans cette robe dont les tons sont rafraîchissants ; bon choix que le canotier très estival ainsi que les chaussures. J'allais oublier la duchesse de Gloucester qui sait toujours harmoniser ses bijoux avec ses tenues !

    1. I do admit that english is not my mothertongue. Obviously "cute" can have a meaning I don't know.

    2. A mon humble avis, "mignonne" peut concerner une enfant/petite fille mais pas Camilla qui peut être qualifiée d'un autre mot correspondant plus à son âge !

    So happy to see a good royal turn out for Day 1 of Ascot. Lovely seeing Camilla in her big hat again--I always look forward to seeing her in them. Her cream ensemble is beautiful and I am thrilled to see she is wearing the shell brooch--love seeing all those shiny diamonds. I hope she keeps digging into the vault! Her sister Annabel made me do a doubletake--they look so much alike they could be twins! Annabel looks good and her cream suit is lovely but her hat is too far down on her head making it look a bit too large. Zara is fabulous in her summery dress and boater--love how she and Mike always find a way to pair up with his choice of tie. Princess Anne looks lovely in her blue silk--her hat is terrific. Beatrice--I really want to love her look but think the headband too far forward on her head and think a belt would have improved her dress. She looks good but not as good as we know she can look. The star of the day for me is the Duchess of Gloucester--she looks smashing!!! Again, she has layered jewelry with great taste and style. The blues are beautiful for her and I like the darker blue facinator that is same color as the collar of her coat. She is so elegant. Not to mention her gorgeous white hair looks marvelous with the blue too. Can't wait for more from Day 2!
