Same and I also hope the children of Prince Edward and Sophie, James, Earl of Wessex & Lady Louise decide to become full HRH working members of the Royal Family.

Huge asset to Royal Family and let's not overly streamline - away many intelligent fascinating and photogenic members thereof -- including from family of Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

Yup I agree. Even Andrew's daughters are dressing much better, they learnt their lesson with the crazy hats in 2011.
But lady louise is really pretty and stylish, that is another awesome fit she has there

Her hairstyle there didn't suit her well, I'm glad she changed it

They thought they were safe from the cultural enrichment. Really cementing how much of a joke the crown is in 2023

>>17611232
>>17611265
>They thought they were safe from the cultural enrichment

Oh please, spare us the inevitable PC diversity irony + comments, but you must admit that the auditory and stylistic contrast in the Afro Gospel Chorale to the ancient surroundings and ceremonial was quite naturally obvious.

The cultural enrichment in the music and ceremonial inclusion in Ancient Coronation Ritual were overall very seamless, subtle and very tasteful imo, to reflect the diversity of UK in 2023

>>17611232
Royal family trying to return to monke?

>>17611289
Very tastefully reflecting that the UK is becoming another low-trust, cultureless melting pot

It's the same sterile, corporate globalhomo presentation that every other captured western nation has. Mind numbingly boring and aesthetically offensive. Designed to harden the soul. BUY BUY BUY!

I get the queen since she was around for so long, but do UK fags actually care about these people?

>>17611310
>I get the queen since *she was around for so long*, but do UK fags

*Being around for so long is the entire point*, but this is not an American Celebrity Culture -- Cult of Personality mindset.

This is a veneration of British Cultural Identity and National History in the Institution of the Monarchy and its ancient ritual.

The individual persons of the Royal Family may and will change over generations, but the Monarchy itself endures over 1,000 years....

>>17611315
You'd be surprised how quickly all the respect for the institutions of the country can be eroded, especially when none of them are particularly likable. William and Kate may be able to save it, but Charles is autistic and everyone hates Camilla too much for her to be the maternal figure that the queen was because of Diana

>>17611319

I get that you americans dont care about anything outside of the US but this is for the purpose of fashion

Sorry, I read your other post and agreed with you, but I didn't think that was too /pol/ tier

>>17611323
No problem mate, I mass quoted as well.

>>17611328
but yeah I think outfit that Kate is wearing is pretty gaudy and looks like some circus attire. I like the little girls a lot and William looks okay minus his hair. Love the hat on the woman on the left, but that flower dress is kind of tacky.
>>17611247
That redhead has the best outfit ive seen. I love that.

>>17611232
to be fair they were probably already bored of the entire event, who likes these events you have to go to and stand around for hours on end

>>17611331
Yeah the order of the garter robe is much better, kate should have gone with that, rather than the victorian order robes she and sophie chose

>>17611331
>>17611438
>Kate/Sophie, gaudy circus attire, Royal Victorian Order robes
>Order of the Garter

I can agree that the RVO robes in brilliant blue and red are very vibrant, especially for those enthralled with the current love of stark / monochromatic colour schemes.

Tastes / Fashion have not always-- and will not always -- embrace Minimalism: look around the interior of the ancient Westminster Abbey and its Gothic - Neo-Gothic design and the Sacred Liturgical Rituals occurring there which consecrate and elevate the Monarch as Head of State.

Look at the official context: the Monarchy is not about Hollywood + slavishly following Vogue fashion plates 24/7.

The Ancient Orders of Chivalry (and their robes) are not randomly chosen by anyone including the members of the Royal Family. The Sovereign must invite you to be a member of the Royal Orders of Chivalry.

>>17610794
The women absolutely killed it. Lady Louise looked stunning, as your photos show. Also, the Princess of Wales

Absolutely incredible

>>17611729
She looks good old though. Some women put on a few pounds or their skin gets leathery. Not her.

>>17611710
Killed it. But what is the dress code for these events? In a wedding you're not supposed to show up the bride, but Camilla was completely upstaged by this bitch in blue in every shot

>>17611729
She looks alright for a woman in her 40s who's had three kids.

By comparison, William is a year younger than her, and is already almost completely bald.

>>17611310
>do UK fags actually care about these people?
Not on a day to day basis, as in IDGAF about the tabloid stuff, but I respect the institution and what it means, how it ties us to our past and to each other, and think Charles will be a good king.

>>17611801
>and think Charles will be a good king
If he cared bout the monarchy he would've abdicated the throne to William. He's incredibly impopular. That he didn't suggests to me that he's not as good of a king.

>>17611804
That's not how primogeniture and a hereditary monarchy works, and in any case, he's still much more popular than unpopular.

Besides, he designs lovely towns and can bust a move

That is true, Queen Elizabeth II only bestowed the victorian order to women in the family, wives, who did a great service to her and proved to be loyal. It's a huge honor and this is the first time we've seen kate wear these robes. Fashion wise, I just wish the blue wasn't as saturated, you know? More akin to the union jack.
>>17611494
He dresses well, but prince Philip was even better
>>17611704
Her hair looks amazing, updoes like that and claw clips do it for me
>>17611710
Extremely /fa, looks like it was high couture, I wonder from which house. Looks like something out of Game of Thrones but with a modern twist to it. Very stunning
>>17611712
She was a cutie patutie, it was a great idea to have her in a cape to match the older women's robes.
>>17611717
>>17611719
Yup, very nice, princess Anne did very well, napoleonic era garb was peak /fa and I've seen it be very loved around here. She took a prestigious bodyguard role in the coronation, hence the attire instead of the RVO robes. Very cool, and props to her red feather during the service lmao.
>>17611729
She looks amazing as always, but time goes for everyone
>>17611789
Actually that is a good question. For women I'm not sure but for me it's morning dress or formal military uniform if you've been in the military.
Also, I think Camilla could have done better. They used QElizabeth's coronation robes on her, modified ofc, which they should not have, they should have given her new ones and left those in a museum, especially since QE was 25 when she was coronated and look attractive on them actually imo.
>>17611929

The Queen would have been proud. The little uniforms are cute af

This is the Privy Council uniform, and more men should dress like this

I have an Indian kurta in a moonlight blue with gold floral stitching that looks a bit like this, but nowhere to wear it

>>17612122
Could it be worn on weddings, graduations and stuff like that? I am not familiar with those robes but assume they work like a formal suit in terms of when to use it

>>17612169
I guess. I’m going to wear it to parties, see what people say

>>17612188
Looks awesome, love the pattern mate

>>17611801
What does it even mean to be a good king? Go to global events and whine about the environment and inequality?

>In a wedding you're not supposed to show up the bride, but Camilla was completely upstaged by this bitch in blue in every shot

Penny Mordaunt's comparative youth and innate beauty are not her fault or problem, in respect of Queen Consort Camilla.

Also this event was primarily the Coronation of King Charles III, and Mordaunt, as Lord of the Privy Council, has a key, mobile and very high profile role in the ceremony.

Camilla had the visual and location advantage of being a focal point of the Cermony, as her rank and enthroned positions were central to ceremony although secondary to King Charles.

Lady Louise Mountbatten - Windsor, beyond her very wholesome and delicate aesthetic, has incredible resemblance to both Queen Elizabeth (grandmother) and Queen Mary (her great-great grandmother + consort of George V, iirc). Amazing how she's definitely left the slight awkwardness of earlier years.

>>17610794

>>17611704
>>17611706
Wow she looks amazing. Her outfit is ethereal and timeless. His hat and shirt look weird and modern next to her. Men should honestly dress more like women. He's not even wearing a suit but it still manages to look like a tux. Men need to stop wearing suits and start wearing more feminine robes and gowns asap. Stop leaving the cool stuff to the women.

>>17611794
Bald, but on top of that he aged so much worse than her anyway. She looks normal and cute. He's rough.

>>17613159
Genetic MPB that unfortunately most of Mountbatten - Windsor men eventually get, e.g., Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, Prince Andrew et al., and add in the stresses of family drama and loss of Princess of Wales, RIP, in 1997 car crash in Paris Tunnel.

That sounds rather fitting and in some ways desirable (in the sense that it implies a lack of naivete) for someone of high social class that knows that everyone around them know they are that. Especially with the deterioration in class and manners of the general public not to mention the untrustworthiness of the "new poor"
>stole wine from my table at a ball
That's actually quite reprehensible if true, but since the culprit is young and beautiful I think we can chalk it up as daring, amusing and forgivable

>>17611317
I don't see political policy being discussed anywhere. I see people ridiculing a stylistic gaffe, cringing at a misadventure in class and style, a faux pas - you can clearly see the same sentiment in the faces of the attendees in the sky news clip.
Statements like "money can't buy class" relate much more to /fa/shion and style than they do to /pol/itics

>>17613496
What stylistic gaffe are you talking about in specific? The only thing the anons criticized was black chorus dancing, mostly because their dance was cringe and out of place (which I agree with, that dance was unnecessary and ruined their otherwise good performance) and took it to a subject related to immigration, cultural miscegenation and contamination, subjects which are very much not related to /fa.

But yeah I agree that money can't buy class, which os why the coronation was amazing, it's a display of tradition and the old aristocracy values, fashion and attire, which are very stylish and /fa, not the trendy consumerist classless globohomo shit most celebrities and politicians peddle to us.
This was a breath of fresh air

You're right, I didn't look closely enough, and thought I saw a resemblance to the Marquess (in picrel), who also wears similar Court Jacket in crimson with gold fern embroidery while attending H.M. The Queen in House of Lords.

>>17612966
>>17613363
>>17613573
Penny was definitively one of the stand out stars in the coronation, probably the most /fa person there. I heard the outfit was mostly of her own choice, since usually it's black and gold, and she said in an interview she felt that did not match so well. Also, the gold embroidery on her dress was made by historic british artisans
>>17612985
This 101%
>>17613143
Now that is interesting, I see it now that you mention it. She looked very regal yet soft and feminine, she really took me by surprise, I did not expect her to be so effay, she has the potential to be a style icon if she choses to be a working royal like her parents
>>17613156
Sorry my ignorance, but who is she? Could you elaborate?
>>17613159
That's a 20 year difference, ofc he would get wrinkles, especially since after yatch girl Meghan came into the scene, he has been under lots of stress, from her antics to seeing his beloved grandparents be rushed into the grave by her and his muppet of a backstabbing brother. Plus most of it is his baldness, he would be better off shaving or buzzing his head and growing some sort of stubble, but that would make him more rugged instead of the pretty boy looks he had when he was in his teens and 20s

Yes I know, but given that Lady Diana Spencer was only 18 - 20 yo ingenue during courtship and at time of marriage to Charles in 1981, she could be forgiven the naive idealism. Charles was a worldy ~30yo bachelor prince who shared no such rosy idealism...

It's all very bitter/sweet even now, and was very damaging to the Monarchy. He was rather selfish for not having put duty (Like E.R.II) above his damaging romantic and lustful urges... all very sad.

Camilla was an older dommy - mommy indeed, and likely still is even today. Kek.
