Yesterday we finally saw the return of the Order of the Garter ceremonies at Windsor, which have not taken place since 2019. I have always loved the historic roots of this event and look forward to it every year. It is not the best picture event, but we always get some good shots. It is a formal royal fashion event, so the pictures we do get are always sure to be fun.
Jane, do you think that Nanny Maria will leave the Cambridge employ when they move to Windsor? Louis will be starting school, no babies at home. Plus Adelaide Cottage, the purported home in Windsor, only has four bedrooms. I wonder if Nanny Maria will go on to another Royal household.
I really don't care for this McQueen coat dress. I find the neckline to be most unflattering on Catherine. I felt the same about the Catherine Walker from their Church of Scotland appearance last year although I do prefer the shade of blue and the simplicity of design of the McQueen. Honestly, it is so similar to the blue CW and the powder blue McQueen she wore Easter (which I like very much) don't see the point of it.
Adore the Aquazzura sling backs with the linked rhinestone embellishment on the straps which compliments her sapphire and diamond jewelry nicely. Some thought they were too dressy for daytime but it was a fairly formal event and both Camilla and the Queen were wearing metallic shoes.
Sofie's champagne coloured Jane Taylor hat with fringe detail and white feathers is killer, love it against the pink of her Valentino fit and flare. The diamond rose shaped brooch completes the look nicely.
Very glad Andrew's public public appearance was nixed! Head scratcher how anyone at the Palace could have thought it ok but I suppose Andrew has a way of finagling things with the Queen.
She seems to be growing even more beautiful as she ages. Some of the photos from today are some of the prettiest that I have ever seen of her and I have been following her from the beginning!!
I love the coat dress and love the neckline and shoulders. I think it shows off her gorgeous collarbone area and makes the outfit interesting. But agree on everything else you said and always enjoy your perspective.
Lovely color and I love the wide cuffs. I also adore her shoes as I did the shoes she wore today to the Grenfell remembrance.
William is closely guarding the monarchy!

Jane, I would love to hear your thoughts on Sophie's outfit. I thought she looked lovely, as well!
