The Royals on Coronation Day 2023

Even though I am not British, I am glad to witness (or watch on TV) the historical event that took place in England - that is, the coronation day of King Charles III. As a royal watcher, I look forward to seeing this event. But I must admit I am more looking forward to the day my favorite royals ascend to the throne and that is not (sorry to say) KCIII. I hope to see in my lifetime the coronation of the future monarch in England, the current Prince and Princess of Wales. Both embodied the qualities of future leaders, and even had Diana's quality - the People's Prince and Princess.

I will not go into details anymore about King Charles III as not my favorite but he has my respect, and so with other world leaders who gave service and dedication to their country and respect other countries as well (you know what I mean).

I will just focus on Prince William and Princess Catherine and their little family, who are more loved by the people as they are approachable, relatable and responsible with the jobs entrusted to them. You don't hear them speak ill or nonsense, too, but they just get on with their work. Anyways, this is just my own opinion and you are of course, entitled to yours. 

Also, may I also say this how stunning the Princess of Wales look with her floral headpiece? Everyone (including me) expected her to wear a tiara coz it was a tradition but Buckingham Palace released a statement that the female working royals would only wear floral headpiece. But it turned out to be perfection as The PoW's headpiece still looked like a tiara placed in her beautifully braided hair. Truly, we are not disappointed but very delighted with the result 💓

The Duchess in the Caribbean

I will post something different today - fashion... I love to talk about fashion to my friends but rarely talk about it here on my blog :-) Just recently, I have been following the Royal tour of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in the Caribbean. Been a Royal watcher for awhile now and these pair fascinates me not only with their good looks but their genuine approach to other people. Anyways, I saw the dresses worn by Duchess Catherine and how they looked good on her. Kudos to her stylist and the one who fixed her perfect crowning glory coz it seems she never experienced a bad hair day - ever.

In this picture, my favorite dress was the green gown (center) by Jenny Packham. This flowing tulle gown was soft to look at and beautifully worn by the duchess at a dinner reception in Jamaica. Coming close to a second was the tortoise-colored dress on the left. The satin evening gown was made by London designer Phillipa Lepley, worn at a formal reception in The Bahamas. I think we could all agree that she was giving us the Cinderella-vibes in this dress. The bright pink gown on the right was worn when she attended an evening reception in Belize. The Vampire's Wife from London was the one who created this dress. The duchess worn other dresses but I will just post these three formal ones. What about you, which one is your favorite?
