Royal Dress Code in Hot Weather

Greyduster

When he is an official at a formal event, for example, the Chelsea flower show, he still manages to loom as if he’s just got out of bed in whatever he is wearing! It really gets up my nose! Can’t the man make an effort? Anyway. End of rant.

The award for sartorially elegant, not a hair out of place, wouldn’t be seen dead in crumpled linen gardener, is sitting on Alan Titchmarsh’s mantelpiece.
I think they should change images for a bit of entertainment. 😂

I’m sure Charles’s valet makes sure that his boss is ‘comfortable’ in whatever he’s wearing. I bet Charles soon says if things don’t suit.

Why are short sleeved shirts ‘common’.? I think on a hot day, a SS shirt looks much smarter than a long sleeved one.

I commented to DH on Friday, the hottest day of the year, why were the BBC News reporters telling us about these unprecedented temperatures and yet still wearing LS shirts, (and no hat)?

Cossy

Yes I agree but more so the poor people in all of our armed forces.

I can't imagine what it must be like to wear a bearskin and full rig-out. No wonder they often pass out.

William is also much lazier than his father. He will be a terrible king.

My daughter went out with a posh boy for a while and he told my husband that short sleeves are ‘common’ 🤭 I guess there’s a posh dress code 🤷‍♀️

sadgranma I thought the same thing too.
A short-sleeved cotton shirt (or perhaps a Hawaiian shirt😂) and linen trousers . He would have been cool and handsome !

Who says anti royals don’t like living here??? What a strange and rude comment 🤷

It’s very obvious a lot of gransnetters are getting overheated and are not getting much sleep, but we are all in the same boat so let’s try to be civil at least. And, by the way, Monty Don is a gardener.

I don’t understand Greyduster he’s a gardener, not an official at a formal event?

Nasty comment re Monty Don. He's very elegant.

He’s made a trademark out of looking a crumpled mess. I don’t know how he gets away with it.

I’ve just seen a picture of the King Sweltering in a suit and tie yesterday. Surely, in this day and age nobody would object to him at least taking his jacket off.
William is always a lot more informal.

Oh yes somebody would.
Since some people object to their very existence, taking a jacket off because of his age and the heat, would be the ultimate crime.

To the anti Royals,dont like living here,go live somewhere else..simples.

Rude

You can be anti-royal but still like living in the UK. They are not mutually exclusive states.

Are you suggesting a totalitarian state where you get kicked out if you don't like the status quo?

Why should they? We live in a free country where we can like and dislike what we want , when we want and how we want. Are you saying we shouldn't have that right? That people who don't bow and scrape shouldn't be allowed to live here?

Grow up..how old are you..5 ?

Nasty comment re Monty Don. He's very elegant.

i saw that photo and wondered while admiring the waistcoat. a later video showed that king Charles was wearing, as he always does when in Scotland, full highland dress which I am sure is fairly cool especially in a presumably air conditioned building.
he looked as smart as he always does.

What a nasty comment!

Even if it’s not linen (and god forbid he should turn out looking like Monty b****y Don), he will probably be wearing very lightweight pure wool suit which is cool in Summer and will not crease.

Linen suit?

Yes I agree but more so the poor people in all of our armed forces.
