Never sink into the grass with your stilettos again!
The Royal Ascot, the Badminton Horse Trials, and the annual Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace – the Windsors love strolling in the open air. But one mystery kept the Glamial editors busy: how do you avoid sinking into the lawn with your sky-high stilettos? Zara Tindall appears to have a handy life hack for this!
Pink and white
Every year many royals put on the most beautiful and cheerful outfits for one of the prestigious garden parties at Buckingham Palace. The first edition took place at the beginning of this month and it was Princess Anne who stole the show with her cheerful outfit. Due to yesterday’s bad weather, the outfits of the royal guests were somewhat insignificant, but we still noticed Zara Tindall. She wore a white and pink look from Laura Green London and a canotier from Sarah Cant.
Her outfit was perfectly matched to that of her nieces Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who also wore pink and white. Beatrice stood out in a bright pink dress with long sleeves and a white hat, while her younger sister opted for a white dress with a pale pink headpiece.

Handy trick
Although an umbrella provides welcome protection from the rain, it still makes the grass muddy. High heels and mud are not exactly a good combination. Zara had come up with something very useful for that. Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter had attached stoppers to her pumps so that she did not sink into the lawn. Ideal!
A quick search shows that these ‘heel protectors’ or ‘stiletto heel protectors’ can also be found through various Dutch web shops. In our opinion, a real must-have for outdoor parties!
Garden party
The late Queen Elizabeth loved the garden parties, although she admitted the weather ‘can be a bit of a worry’. “Well, you hope the sun shines when you invite 8,000 people to have tea on your lawn,” the Queen told Victoria English, a Welsh teacher, at one of the 2019 parties.
Let’s hope the weather won’t be too bad during the rest of the parties this summer. After all, we are curious about the royals’ summer looks!
