WELL TURNED OUT COUPLES AT ROYAL CORONATION

I really enjoyed the pictures people have been posting here of Louis, et al, at the coronation!

 

Went to look at other attendees, and found two couples that are my favorites for their grown-up spiffiness:

 

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and his wife Akshata Murthy:

He is impeccable, like something out of GQ,  and she is so pretty in that pale blue tea length dress, with sophisticated all-black accessories.  They look like they are having a good time, which helps!

My other favorite couple, aren't really a 'couple', they're brother and sister,  James and Pippa Middleton:

 

Again, wow.   Love the pale lemon coat dress, and his coordinating vest...

A few other favorites--

 

As a former resident of a Commonwealth country (and dual American/Canadian citizen,  I loved this shot of members from various Commonwealth nations:

Apologies if this picture has already been discussed.  Doesn't it look like Louis is wearing a crown?   It must be embroidery on his mother's cloak, or ????

I love seeing the pictures of the guests.  I hadn't seen Pippa before.  Her outfit is gorgeous and she is indeed very pretty.

I wonder why Pippa's husband didn't attend.  Could he have been too busy?

@Oznell  - Great pictures, thanks for sharing.  It does look like Louis is wearing a crown!  Love the dress the British PMs' wife is wearing.  What is Sophie (standing next to Kate) wearing on her head?  I can't tell if it is flowers or feathers.

I read that Pippa and her brother's spouses were not invited, due to the pared down guest invitation list for this coronation.

@Tinkrbl44   No doubt you'll find something in my post to argue with.
