I agree about this shorthand for older characters.The silver jubilee plates etc that people have on display are always used as shorthand for “this person is a bit old-fashioned lives in the past” in TV dramas or reality shows
I quite like a bit of memorabilia, but we are left with ' memorabilia and collectable stuff our parents gad and either left when they died or want to get rid of to downsize and kept at the time because it commemorated something or other. Most of it is worth nothing, for something that is 40/50 years old like mugs and tins and stamp collections. They don't give pleasure years afterwards when people can't throw them out and they just become A liability. I mentioned before I have a coronation mug that's worth about £4 because everyone is selling their coronation mugs for the Jubilee. Having said that, I may have a look on ebay for a nice mug or cake standNot to piss on anyone’s parade but I have no idea why anybody would buy jubilee memorabilia.
I can't remember buying anything for any other Royal occasion. I just kept supplements about the occasion from magazines. With the Jubilee and people posting on here what they like or have bought I had a look and bought something I really liked.I quite like a bit of memorabilia, but we are left with ' memorabilia and collectable stuff our parents gad and either left when they died or want to get rid of to downsize and kept at the time because it commemorated something or other.

Cath Kidston?I was inspired by your jubilee merchandise so I bought a cushion with a corgi wearing a crown on it. It’s fun.
What was that worn for?Ok, I love this colour. So much better than the blues and greens she favours.

Which Royals do you have in mind? I think maybe a floral diamond brooch would have been a nice touch.The colour is lovely but she's so boring style wise compared to other European royals...
Queen letzia in Spain always looks great (again she's very thin like Kate!) the Dutch queen also dresses well and Mary in Denmark all stand out to me as being more stylish than Kate!Which Royals do you have in mind? I think maybe a floral diamond brooch would have been a nice touch.
Letizia has a lot of horrible and utterly boring outfits under her belt. The black leather culottes with the massive silver zipper right across her crouch was by far the worst. I think her best look was her white suit for the engagement announcement.Queen letzia in Spain always looks great (again she's very thin like Kate!) the Dutch queen also dresses well and Mary in Denmark all stand out to me as being more stylish than Kate!
Yes, she's so thin that a softer fabric and lots of it can make her look like a bundle of washing. Firmer fabric and more tailoring stands away from the body and give her curves.Letizia has a lot of horrible and utterly boring outfits under her belt.

Mary has the business look down but it’s so ordinary that she doesn’t stand out often and I think Maxima really can do both- business professional and bold (love how she brings out all the royal bling). She is the only one that is doing it really well in my opinion.
I think Kate has worn this hat before and I think she looks generally best in jewel tones and the classic British royal stuff. Those cuts give the illusion of curves and balance out her torso/leg ratio. And while those clothes are rather old fashioned, they make her look younger, fresher and more sophisticated than her more trendy stuff which make her look extremely thin, old, frumpy and disproportionate. It’s fascinating because you would think it should be the other way round.
