Queen Elizabeth and Princess Elizabeth, 1940
Love this photo of the young Princess Elizabeth and her ma in 1940, spotted at Charbonnel & Walker where I stocked up on celebratory jubilee champagne truffles…

If you’ve seen Moonrise Kingdom, you’ll know one of the best things about it is the fantastic costume design by Kasia Walicka Maimone. As a fan of scout style, I just adored the details of the scout outfits, from the scarves to the patches on the shirts, to Sam’s omnipresent brooch and raccoon tail. Anyway, Sam’s outfit is up for grabs in an online auction taking place between now and June 13th. All proceeds go to Variety New York, to help transform the lives of children through the arts. Click here to bid.
“On Saturday, I am attending nine different street parties ending with a fish ‘n’ chip supper and a knees-up, only to do it all over again the following three days. My mum said she is out so much over the Diamond Jubilee weekend that she is going to sleep in her pearly suit!”
