Royal style (and occasionally gossip): thread 3

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Here we go again!

So someone who's still at school but not yet a member of the royal family? Not sure that makes sense!

Margarita Armstrong-Jones is still at school but if the "someone" is a he then it can't be right as she goes to St Mary's, an all-girl school.

The grandchild of Princess Margaret is a red herring @courgetta

So it’s probably a younger sibling of either Jack Brooksbank or Ella Windsor’s fiancé

What an irritating blind.

Haven’t got a clue what you are talking about

Can someone enlighten me? I have no idea what this is about.

Join the club @Clionba, nor do we!

OK, I have no idea what the cryptic clue is about....

But last night I had a very vivid dream that DS was marrying one of the Dutch princesses (not completely unfeasible - the ages match up and we have friends in common, though we have never met and prob never will). Anyway, as the Mother of the Groom I was completely and utterly outshone by Maxima as the Mother of the Bride. Of course. And I was furious about it and tried to get big sleeves put onto the outfit that I had already planned for the event the following day....and then I woke up.

Anyway, I blame you lot on this thread

Sophie Wessex was visiting the Isle of Wight this week. Looks like she's borrowed Kate's dress and Meghan's coat!

It's a strange look for her. She usually smashes it

I don't like that coat on Sophie. It looks slouchy.

I think it's what's known as a coatigan? Anyway, the oversized look is very Meghan but I'm not sure it does anything for Sophie!

Sophie has really buckled down and got on with it. That's what Bea and Eug need to do if they want to be 'blood princesses'.

By normal standards, Sophie looks fine, but we are so used to her looking stylish, that the droopy coat is a letdown.

Eugenie is visiting Serbia with the UN.

Sophie needs to ditch that sloppy blanket coat. Her hair looks almost silver in those photos.

Oh I actually love that outfit. Love the slouchy coat, and the cream against the dress.

Here's a rare sight - CP Masako of Japan making a public appearance. I'll always wonder if that blind about her and Maxima was true, but it's been a while since it was published so who knows!

I love Sophie's coat and dress. The coat is a very plain, 'untailored' style, but the fabric looks very fine and the colour contributes to the 'very well dressed' look. I like her hairdo too.

Has Eugenie lost a lot of weight? Or was that just a kind camera angle? Her face looks a good deal more angular than it used to.

Yes; that Blind was quite shocking. It would explain her hiding away from public life for many.years.

@mathanxiety Maybe she's on a wedding diet and exercise regime?

Sorry to ask here but I thought someone might know! Has anyone (public) had their invitation to Eugenie's wedding yet? The ballot thing?

Yes, someone started a thread on here asking advice on what to wear as they'd entered the ballot and got a ticket.

My advice would be a mac and wellies!

What was the blind OP ?

@beanaseireann This one. First I thought maybe it was Charlene of Monaco but it's far more likely to be Masako. If it's true and Maxima gets her out then I will love her even more!

Why are they called "blinds"?

They are called 'blinds' because they don't give names and its up to people to guess.
