Trooping the Colour 2010: HRH The Duchess of Kent, The Countess of St. Andrews, and The Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor

I have to say, the wonderful royal photographers in London have heard our repeated cries and provided us with far better close-up photos of minor royals this year, save three: Katharine Kent and one of her daughters-in-law, the Countess of St. Andrews, and (I think) one of the Countess's daughters -- I believe it's the teenaged royal I tentatively identified last year as Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor.

You can just barely see (the alleged) Marina-Charlotte and Kate Kent in front of the column on the right, just to the right of the Waleses and Lady Helen Taylor.  Marina appears to have some sort of white feather fascinator on, and Lady Kent is wearing a blue beret of some sort.

Word on the street is that the Countess of St. Andrews is the first woman to the right of Katharine, wearing the large hat with what appears to be dark-colored flowers.  Really too bad on this one: it would be Sylvana's first appearance on the blog, and we need to talk all about her and her fascinating career as a professor of history at Cambridge sometime!

(So, if anyone comes up with any clearer photos of these three -- or of Lady Nicholas Windsor, who was supposedly also present -- please let us all know!)

    If you'll permit me to post a link to my own blog, I blew one of the pictures up for a better view of the Duchess of Kent -

    Terrible quality, but at least it reduces the squinting!

    Total crap, Katharine Kent (who I have a soft spot for becuase I have a history with anxiety myself) never goes to anything and the one time she does, no photos? I has a sad.

    Don't mind what Kath Kent is wearing here - and nice to see her on the balcon.

    And Ms Splendor... I've just found your blog. Love it. Damn, there goes even more of my time. Seriously, I need to get out more.

    Love the pictures - but it's not Lady Marina Charlotte Windsor, it was her younger sister Lady Amelia Windsor.

    The Sunday Telegraph has a zoom of the balcony shot, and I can exclusively report that Kate Kent is wearing a blue danish pastry-like swirl with bat-wing attachments.

    I also think that Lady Nicholas Windsor is there as well - there is an unidentified tall lady at the very far left of the balcony in a forehead monster.

    I also found one shot of Lady Sarah Chatto sneaking out behind Anne & Commander Tim

    Someone snapped the Royals leaving BP and posted the pics on the GREMB. There's a fairly decent view of the DoK's hat.

    Where were Zara and Autumn?

  8. Ursula says on June 13th, 2010 at 6:23 PM :

    Autumn is in Hong Kong with Peter.

    It's a Saturday - Zara would have been competing in horse trials somewhere, hence why she never attends. Yes it was Lady Nicholas Windsor far left.
