the Princess Royal in her Canadian tv interview

I really enjoyed this interview. Princess Anne was very forthright and engaging.

I was on the road for 8h door to door, over 300 miles one way, with 3 pit stops, to reach the hotel where the service charity club's annual conference is held.

Packed 2 tops for the banquet for Saturday night (1 is a spare, just in case).

Tomorrow evenings' party is more casual, and I am not a big fan of fancy dress. However, I shall make an effort for certain.

you would almost think that the movie Pretty woman took inspiration from it

and may i just add
this is why im a better shop assistant that this person

or the announcement of her engagement to Prince Charles in February 1981, ‘Shy Di’ had wanted an outfit to match her sapphire sparkler – and had hoped to find something in Bellville Sassoon, a high-end Knightsbridge salon.

However, the imperious French shop assistant failed to recognise the nervous teenager as the future Princess of Wales, and was cross she’d come in so near to closing time.

‘It was 5pm at night and this little girl came in and didn’t know what she wanted,’ couturier David Sassoon explains. ‘The assistant said: “Do you want a dress? A suit?” Diana said: “I’m not sure.”

‘She showed her a few things, and Diana didn’t think they were right. So, she suggested Diana went to Harrods.’

Which she did: there, she bought a cobalt blue skirt suit by British label Cojana that she wore to face the world’s press on the steps of Buckingham Palace.

Three of Diana's iconic dresses, now in storage at Hampton Court, were only saved for the nation after they were rescued from a second-hand shop in Hampshire.

Remember the scene in "Pretty Woman" where Julia Roberts' character walks into the store, all spiffy loaded with bags? The store clerk who threw her out the day before hurries to assist her and Roberts says, "remember me? You wouldn't wait on me? You work on commission, right?"


Then she holds up all her bags.


"Mistake. Huge mistake. I have to go shopping now!" and she swishes out the store leaving the clerk dumbfounded.

I bet the assistant in the Sassoon salon felt very much the same way!

It's been a real treat to see all the pictures of the heads of state and other royals attending the reception.
I'm so impressed with King Charles, Prince Willian and Princess Catherine and their devotion and stamina to get thru these long days.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

we had corination chicken on pasta and salad leaves on some corrination commerative china from 1953 for tea (dinner) just now
made Gary a cup of tea in a mug commerating Elizabeth and Philip's wedding
its a bit embarrasing. that room has the light bulb out, we keep forgetting to put the new bulb in when its daylight so i had to use a torch to fossok through the china cabinet

my workamte and i made the effort and wore big sparkly vintage brooches pinned to our aprons at work (we work in a bakery)
i wore my faux pearl choker as a tiara

What tiaras are Princess Catherine and Princess Charlotte wearing?

Update: Not tiaras. Matching Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen Headpiece with silver bullion, crystal and silver thread work three-dimensional leaf embroidery.

The family looks fabulous. The two princesses look extremely regal.

 

[LadyMaria]

I'm here!!!! And I'm wearing a tiara!!

I would rather tiaras, but these do look nice. Charlotte's reminds me of the Downton Abbey wedding tiara!

Hi!! You know that means we need details and close up of the tiara right?

 

[LadyMaria]

God Save the King!

 

[LadyMaria]

Better picture with the Scepter with the Cullinan I

 

[LadyMaria]

You can see where the Cullinan V was put in the Queen's crown.

This is obviously the Coronation Necklace, but I do not think these are the Coronation Earrings? They seem more round than teardrop shaped?

[LadyMaria]

William paying homage...can you imagine this moment for the two of them? Charles was too young to do this when his mother was crowned.

 

[LadyMaria]

Hi!! You know that means we need details and close up of the tiara right?

When I ordered my Queen Elizabeth II teacup from the Royal Collection Shop, this tiara somehow hopped in my cart. I have no idea how that happened! Once it arrived, I really had no choice but to give it a good home!

Wait...Camilla does not have pierced ears! That would explain why she is not wearing the Coronation Earrings!

when the choir broke into Zadok the priest my heart was just bursting with pride
and OMG that military salute in the garden
Long live King Charles iii
may he live for ever

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

in the Abby i had to laugh at the position of Princess Anne's big tall feather on her hat ....
