Princess Benedikte looks absolutely amazing!

She's probably been perusing mumsnet on the sly since she found out she as pregnant

Actually I reckon in those "moody" car pictures last night, Kate was actually catching up on AIBU.

Thank you CP Mary for looking divine but why aren't you wearing the Midnight Tiara with that frock?

Yes! Her wedding tiara is distinctly underwhelming.

I bow down to Queen Margarethe when it comes to matters of style - she has a look that's uniquely her own. She carries it off and she's never boring!

For anyone still lusting after those Penelope Chilvers boots that aren't svelte of calf, Fairfax & Favour do v similar ones in a "sporting fit"- they have an extra 3cm round the calf than the standard.

P Benedikte is my favourite of the Danes - controversially CP Mary doesn't do anything for me. Q Margrethe has some incredible outfits - not so much stylish as theatrical.

She's really stingy with her jewels though; I like the way the Swedes share theirs around between the queen & three princesses. It annoys me that they (particularly the Brits) have so much incredible stuff in the vaults that doesn't get seen - if they aren't going to use it it send it to the V&A!

Queen Margarethe has a long-standing interest in theatrical costume so it's no surprise that she dresses as she does. She's actually designed costumes for the Danish royal ballet and she's a talented artist too.

I think I can live without those boots. I think they are fugly.

I can live without the boots too if some one can find me a cheap version of the Stuart tiara though I'll have I'm with Max when it comes to jewels

Meghan’s pink dress does look much better in that last photo. The silk is gorgeous! However, to me it says Mexican Fiesta more than it does Fiji 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's from the designer's Frida Kahlo Collection. (Not making this up; just can't remember the designer's name)

That explains it then Curly

I love these Sophie & Lili illustrations!

Having now seen a proper photo of Kate last night, I think she looked wonderful awash with all those fabulous pearls!

Charlotte Casiraghi had a baby boy

Can I just say that, while it's normal to feel and sometimes be sick during pregnancy, it's entirely possible to feel absolutely fine as well? I've had two pregnancies without so much as a sniff of nausea - it is normal for some!

So given that no-one has any real idea how Meghan is actually feeling, beyond the pulling out of something the other day, she may be feeling just fine.

I have so much sympathy for people who suffer from pg sickness, but I was really worried my first pregnancy wasn't viable because I didn't feel shit. Back in those heady days I think I'd have been grateful for a bit of the gyp!

No actual pics of Maxima today on the thread.
Her dress colour aside; she is so vibrant.
Looks like she & Sophie had a great time.
(As an aside; Sophie wore a rather unflattering skirt length and shape. Also; the Royal ladies, except Meghan; should steer clear of Navy Blue)

Can I request that we have regular updates of Maxima on this thread. She is such a joy!

Aren’t they gorgeous Curly she’s very talented! She also draws the DoC which I love.

Last engagement in Fiji; honouring Fijian British soldier.
Meghan's bump seems to have disappeared in the Jason Wu dress. It's not my favourite colour and it seems to be really thick fabric.
I like the earrings and the rest of her gold jewelry.

They both look a bit frazzled. However their last night was in a $5,000 dollar a night resort..

I think the colour suits her and I like it. The dress looks like it’s made of wetsuit material! It looks like they’ve tried to match his tie with her dress, but failed as the shades of green are different

Joining the thread after missing the end of the last one due to being away for half term with limited signal but loving these threads for bringing light relief and happy style based chit chat to my life.

I quite liked Meghans green dress in fiji though. I'm getting a bit obsessed with forest green at the moment though so that might be why.

Oh dear.
