Personally I think the Duchess of Edinburgh wore an utter disaster today.

Hello! agrees with you. I wouldn't put this in the disaster category, but I will admit I'm not fond of the dress. I don't think it would look good on most women. That bow at the neckline needs to go.

It's just too much going on at the same time. A lot of dresses seem to be that way the last few years. Let's do RUFFLES AND TIERS AND SMOCKING AND MORE RUFFLES ALL AT ONCE!

What could possibly go wrong?!

Am I wrong or is it just scary how much alike the Earl of Snowdon and Andrew MB sometimes look? Especially if you just quickly glance at them. I know that Andrew isn't at Ascot but there must be some gene they both inherited.

Well, their mothers were sisters, so the chances of having similar features was fairly high. They do have the same facial shape and similar mouth shapes, but different eye and nose shapes. David would have also had stuck-out ears had Margaret not had them surgically pinned back when he was young.

I think both men resemble their Bowes-Lyon side in many ways.

I know the relationship of their mothers but as they've gotten older it seems the resemblance is more pronounced. It seems even more so than the resemblance of George V and Nicholas II and their mothers were also sisters.

Sophie and Anne's Ladies Day outfits

I like Sophie's dress today better than the black bow one from yesterday. And I love that she's wearing the necklace Edward gave her on their wedding day!

Anne has brought out an outfit from the early 2000s and I like it very much. That peachy color looks good on her.

Good point. That’s a very romantic gesture of Sophie to wear her wedding necklace considering it’s their anniversary tomorrow.

The dress Sophie wore today was better than yesterday's dress, but I'm still not too crazy over it. If it were a pastel color, it might have worked for me. Sophie is entitled to a slip up or two.
I was thrilled to see Stanley Tucci and his wife in the carriage procession and attending Ascot. Zara looked spectacular.

Zara won the day. Let's hope Sophie gets back to summery prints and colors!
