Hillary: Elton sighting!
Rosie: How many wedding invitations do you think Elton John gets each year?
Hillary He can probably wallpaper his living room with all of them.

Hal: Perfectly fine and expectedly reserved. Pale blue Catherine Walker (worked for Diana a lot). Actually Catherine's daughter because Catherine Walker died. Inoffensive outfit. No wrinkles. Nicely fitted. Day is not about her. Deliberate choice.

Hal: Camilla was in duck-egg blue to champagne by Anna Valentine. Jimmy Choo shoes and Philip Treacy huge brimmed hat. All true to form.
Christian: That's what I love about a royal wedding. Where else do you hear the term "duck-egg blue"?
Hillary: While bird-watching, of course. Wait, are duck eggs really blue?
Christian: Paging Rosie!
Rosie: Hal's always spot on with fashion it is a shade of blue.

Hillary: The Queen! The Queen! I love when people wear bright yellow to fancy events-reminds me of Michelle Williams's best-ever Oscars dress.
Christian: Has the Queen ever worn more than one color at a time?
Hal: The Queen with her usual brilliance is in her uniform. Her silhouette is constant and unchanging which is just as it should be. She loves bright colors-peacock blue, cherry red, emerald. Today it is canary yellow and her now standard female version of the top hat.
Guest Comment: The Queen has me craving peeps!
