I sometimes think that Marie tries a little too hard. Mary's style seems effortless but Marie's tousled hair and "frilly" hat just seem to be forced. I think she is aiming for the haute couture look which, realistically, only works on the runway. The brooch, however, is stunning. The design puts me in mind of an Irish Claddagh. I wonder if it came from Pncss Margaret of Connaught, HM's grandmother.
