I'm currently in Grand Caymen and the festivities have been going strong the last several days. Jubilee On!
ReplyDeletelovely to hear it, enjoy.
DeleteI just read a Vanity Fair adaptation from the book "Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch" by Sally Bedell Smith and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hadn't thought much about the young Elizabeth and was so impressed by Phillip's and her devotion to one another. The pictures of the Royal Family are amazing. Shiree'
ReplyDeleteyes, it was a love match. I must read that article. pgt
DeleteOh yes, nothing like cape cunningly fitted with interior pockets and how it swirls gently about...Looks like the Admiral's cape she wore in the Beaton photographs. Gaye! I have been enjoying all your post. Warmest,
ReplyDeleteYes,- I think so too. She looks quite a bit younger without the HAT and glasses! pgt
DeleteI adore capes too! I had a few! What on earth happened to them? Must find some more! Poste haste!!!

DeleteYes, yes and yes!!!
ReplyDelete& YES.
DeleteShe always looks great! Do you have a cape? I've always wanted one. Dashing. Reminds me of something J. Peterman says about "clothes for the life we wish we had," or something like that.
ReplyDeleteI do, I do. several in fact.I love them-so easy to put on and smarten up what I'm wearing. I provided a link when I wrote about one cape I had just purchased-just click on last word "cape" in BOLD. pgt
DeleteCape or no cape. She is quite a Dame.
ReplyDelete...& there's Nothing like a Dame, that's Queen! pgt
DeleteLOVED the Jubilee!! Stayed glued to the TV (BBC America) for every event. The pomp & ceremony warmed my Canadian heart. And it was so nice to see HRM looking so well and standing so long, also Charles has aged beautifully, or should I say handsomely.He looks very happy.
ReplyDeleteI NEVER gave up my capes.I just adore them, my favorite is a small houndstoothe, Blk & White that is probably 40 years old. Stll wear it and enjoy it so much.
I totally believe NOT to follow every new fashion.
Missed your posts when the computer was down, glad to have you back.
Sandra, Me TOO. thanks- I am using a family computer-however none of my files available-so I am waiting-and waiting. pgt
Deleteapparently its the same Admiral's Boat Cloak that was given to her, by the tailors Gieves Ltd, as a tribute in her Coronation year in 1953. And therefore, I guess, the cloak she wore in the 1968 Beaton portraits
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant thing to wear-that's a Queen for you. The cape is exquisite-really. I am So glad you shared this piece of news. pgt
Deleteso its a Jubilee cloak!! as old as her reign
ReplyDeleteanother point about never getting rid of the good stuff-and no one would ever accuse the Queen of being a slave to fashion-
