Royal style & gossip: from maximum Maxima to minimalist Meghan

Royal style & gossip: what do we want? Frock shots! When do we want them? Now!

Some nice tiaras in that MT link 🙂

@ElspethFlashman Well yes, Maxima without question but then Carl Philip of Sweden. Can't think why though...

Apparently the Portland Tiara has been stolen. www.nottinghamshire.police.uk/news-article/update-portland-tiara-stolen-welbeck-burglary

I think it would be great if Meghan got involved in opening more hubs. There are lots of ethnic groups in London. Especially for minority women; who (extrapolating here) do not work outside the home; it is somewhere to meet. There are articles everywhere in the mainstream press about the Hub. The Meghan effect is incredible. I'm definitely ordering the book.

See I thought it was the Hub Kitchen too, because it was a hub for the women to meet. But it's actually Hubb, which is Arabic for love.

Lost my post!

Placemarking on this new thread as I know when I get back we’ll be on page 35!

Have been lurking for the last few threads and thoroughly enjoy!

I would love to be in charge of keeping the duchesses wardrobes organised and all wears logged in a database!

@CurlyWurlyTwirly Pierre has become better-looking with age, the opposite of his brother. 10 years ago Andrea would've been my choice but now he looks like Bradley Cooper's slightly sleazy little brother!

Yes, Hubb means love.... I bought the book too. There are some amazing recipes!

Great thread title 🤩

Yes yes to a programme devoted to Royal Wardrobes. That would be fascinating. Max's would be amazing

Must thank DH for stealing me a tiara. I'll wear it tonight eating a takeaway & drinking wine 👸👑

I always suspect they have more of a warehouse/storeroom situation. Someone once counted out how many pairs of shoes Crown Princess Mary had been photographed wearing and it was about 150. And that's only heels! Where do you even store 150 pairs of heels??

And Kate must have 150 dresses at least. Possibly twice that. I remember dresses she wore the year of the wedding we still haven't seen repeated. And then think of the coats!

Max looks amazing in that evening dress. Very hard to pull that off I think. I can imagine it's the sort of thing Kate might try but that wouldn't look half as good.

This was M-T at the Armistace in Paris recently. I don't like the big shawl collar on the white coat, it makes her look wide.

But you guys she's 62 YEARS OLD. I mean look at her! 😍😍😍

Full length. Props for wearing white when everyone else is wearing black at least.

I went to get a new foundation today (half price sale 🙌🏻) a lay kindly came and said she would colour match me as I stood looking at a wall of products .
I saw the shade ‘Duchess’ and thought that looks about right, it’s meant to be 😇. But no, I was colour matched with ‘Minx’

I need a distraction from Brexit so thank you for new thread

Lady* obviously

@ElspethFlashman M-T is always very elegant. The Continental royals are, in general, more stylish than the British ones, although I think M-T is Cuban? Even the kids are dressed better - compare what the Spanish princesses or Ingrid of Norway wear to what poor Louise Windsor gets put in for official occasions. Sophie needs to get Letizia on the phone and ask where she shops for Leonor and Sofia!

Chin up ahoy it could have been mushroom.

Is the Meghan turkey pic from yesterday?

I doubt it @TSSDNCOP, looks like an old Instagram photo of hers.

I’m impressed MM can even pull off double denim

Found you!

I like to imagine some complex filing system with a Generation Gane style conveyor belt for Maxima's hat collection.

Hoping Kate will be doing some more Casual Kate engagements soon, I do like a Casual Kate outfit!

It is an old thanksgiving photo.
