Royal style and gossip: new year, new thread

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread.

And let's stick to critiquing the outfits rather than the wearer!

Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones granddaughter of Princess Margaret and who is currently 16, also attends St Mary's. It is hopefully nice to have a relative at boarding school with you.

Interesting article in the Guardian about the 'Markle effect' and focuses a fair bit on her ethical fashion choices.

Looks like the label faux pas was nothing but good publicity for Self-Portrait!

Just went down a Linley rabbit hole on t'Internet.
Interesting

beanaseireann i'm always a bit hmmmm about PA and her style. All those photos in that link were 70s and 80s anyway and i don't really have any idea of what was stylish and what wasn't in her social circles in those decades. Was the majority of it ooh'd and ahh'd over just because she was the one wearing it and it was £££? Was there any ooh'ing and ahh'ing over at all back then? I genuinely don't know.

Her style doesn't seem to have changed much at all. It's instantly recognisable.

I'm going to say

HAPPY NEW YEAR

to everyone
Have a good one, and a peaceful one, and a happy one x

Sorry to stray from s&b but I'm also appalled at that harry photo with the shot wildebeest. Hope he feels thoroughly ashamed looking at that now. I cant believe he touts eco credentials while doing that. Who could enjoy it? I only hope Meghan feels strongly about this and puts her foot down!

ok, rant over, back to s&b...

I loved quite a few of Princess Anne's outfits. And she was absolutely beautiful as a young woman. Did anyone notice that the coats / coatdresses in that series of pics are very similar to Kate's style now? I wonder if that is on purpose?

I didn't really know much about Eugenie prior to this year but the more I see of her, the more I like her. She looked absolutely glowing at her wedding and seems really down to earth and nice.

Gotstuckwiththisname I thought quite a few of those look very similar to Kate's. I guess it's a timeless style?

@Tortycat I imagine there's a few photos around of moments in Harry's life that he's now not too proud of! One hopes that he's since learned the error of his ways...

Margarita has moved to Tudor Hall.

It’s a buffalo.

Happy New Year to all of you! Thanks for this marvellous thread - I find it such a soothing distraction, but also so informative. Hope you have the stamina to keep it up into 2019 Queen!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Happy New Year from Australia 🎉
Hope you’re all having a lovely night.

Happy new year royal stylistas! 🍾🥂

I absolutely love these threads.

Hopefully not too outing but here is a picture of my dd giving flowers to Princess Anne. She was very sweet and chatty to my dd.
No fashion to discuss here though as she was in uniform.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and blessed New Year!

Happy New Year Royalistas!
I’ve really enjoyed your company and love these threads, look forward to a whole new year of Frocks & Chat!

Jjacobb what a lovely photo, when was it taken?

A very happy New Year 2019 everyone! Only 9:50 pm here on the West Coast.

Happy New Year to my favourite thread gang!! Hope not too many sore heads this morning. Here's to keeping these threads going to make dreary January a bit brighter. Three cheers to Queen for keeping us on track :)

Jjacobb gorgeous picture!

Happy New Year!

Jjacob what a lovely picture.

Happy New Year to you all!!!

No pics of any Royals around, perhaps we will have some photos of the Danes in a few days.
Warning: dm link
Anyway, just a titbit, The Middletons are on St Barts where James Matthews family own the Eden Rock hotel. A little change from Mustique.
I wonder when Kate will be taking Louis for his first sunshine break. February half term?
