Royal Fashion Update :: Pre-Olympics Event

Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had a busy few weeks leading up to and during the London Olympics.  The Royal Family kicked off the Olympics with a sports day at Bacon's College, a secondary school in East London the day before the opening ceremonies.

Kate looks great in grey.

Over the weekend Prince William and Prince Harry's cousin (on Diana's side), Lady Emily McCorquodale, wed James Hunt.  Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, was also in attendance.  The wedding took place in a beautiful church in Lincolnshire.

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a few old favorites from her wardrobe.  I love when she recycles her wardrobe... after all, almost everything she wears is fabulous! 

You may recognize her bronze pill box hat from last years Epsom Derby.

She re-wore one of my favorite (Kate) dresses, that she wore last year when she visited North America.  It is a Jenny Packham grey floral silk dress.  Kate paired the dress with the grey Katherine Hooker coat dress that she wore to last year’s Order of the Garter ceremony.  Kate's ensemble was completed by a pair of nude L.K. Bennett pumps and Hobbs Somerton Clutch.

I love Kate's pairing of her old pieces to make an entirely new look.

Diamond Jubilee Carriage Ride

 

The Royal Family has had a very busy few days.  After partying the night away at a concert fit for the Queen, the Royal Family spent Tuesday morning at a church service followed by lunch and a carriage ride to Buckingham Palace.

Princess Catherine chose to wear an Alexander McQueen dress for the Diamond Jubilee church service and luncheon.  She paired the dress with a Jane Taylor beaded cocktail hat.

I wish I could pull off the glamorous hats that Princess Catherine wears.

Prince Harry and Prince William did not wear military uniforms since this was a civil church service.  Don't they look great in their top hats?

rock & royalty.

 Concert for the Queen

 

Monday night the Royal Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II was celebrated with a star-studded concert.  Performers spanned from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber to Will.i.am.  I was a little surprised at the selection of performers, I know some of the outfits must have caused the Queen to raise an eyebrow... I'm sure some of them were a bit racy!  But, I know the royal family is trying to keep up with the times, so I'm sure they wanted to choose some "hip" new musicians.

The entire royal family was in attendance, except for Prince Phillip who, unfortunately, was in hospital with a bladder infection.  Prince Philip was greatly missed by his wife, HRH Queen Elizabeth II, and his children and grandchildren.  His son, Prince Charles mentioned this father's absence and the crowded attended to cheer loud enough for Prince Philip to hear them in hospital.

Princess Catherine, Prince William & Prince Harry enjoyed the Diamond Jubilee concert on Monday night in London, England.

I love seeing the younger royals having such a fun time at the concert.

Princess Catherine's hair looks wonderful (as usual!) and I love her choice of a blue dress.

Prince William & Prince Harry look like they had a blast at the concert honoring their grandmother.

Here is a better view of Princess Catherine's blue dress at the concert

the british derby.

I love a good 'ole fashion derby (and so does the British Royal Family).  It just seems like so much fun to get dressed up in fun sundresses and hats to watch a horse race. 

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge wore a tilted bronze pill box hat with a squiggle ornament, paired with a cream jacket and skirt with nude L.K. Bennett 'Sledge' Pumps.

Don't William & Harry look handsome?

I just love how the Queen always has a matching hat and purse with her at every event!

The whole royal bunch looked fabulous, as usual.

 Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice wore bright patterned sundresses.

I just love the Royal Family and I am so happy Kate Middleton is now officially part of it.  She fits in so well!
