Re: Duchess of Cambridge and the Queen at Buckingham Palace Garden Party

I loved seeing Prince William paying homage to two of his favorite ladies with a blue vest (the queen's dress) and pink tie (his wife's dress).

Kate looks like she always does. She's lovely and appropriate but I'm bored with this uniform.

Both women Spring perfection.

@bathina.  She must dress very conservatively.  I bet she'd like to cut loose once in a while too.

Great ensemble and color for Kate... The queen's outfit this time didn't seem to measure up to most she's worn recently...


@stevieb.  I think the umbrellas give the men something to do with their hands.

 

The Queen's ankles always look swollen and I wonder if they're painful.  If they are, she's a real trooper with all the standing she does.

A 19 year old woman named Lucy Stafford was invited to the garden party and took this candid picture of William and Kate. 

 

She posted it on Instagram, people said it looked like something from a movie or musical. It does

Re: Duchess of Cambridge and the Queen at Buckingham Palace Garden Party

My favorite part about looking at photos from royal events is all of the glorious hats.  I am a hat girl myself (mostly in winter, occasionally in summer).  But I cannot fall in love with fascinators.
