Royal style and gossip: new year, new thread

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread.

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

And the Danes.

Bit underwhelming. She isn't wearing the full ruby parure either.

Thanks @Paradyning. We need something to keep us going. I'm not keen on CP Mary's dress. Is it black or mottled dark camouflage type colours?

I'm hoping she doesn't do the steps pics. I wouldn't like to try and guess either way though! It will depend on so many things. Not least of which how she feels on the actual day. She might have such an awful time that she (like most) will want to slip away in her comfies with baby unseen.

I have a confession to make. After 30 years without owning a pair of trainers i have bought ..... a pair of (scarily) white superga cotu classics. If they're good enough for DofC ...

Wore them today with my skinny jeans and loved them! If they're good enough for DofC ...

I can't find a clearer pic yet. Will
Keep hunting. It's definitely below par compared to what she normally knocks out.
Can't find a clear pic of Marie or Margrethe yet either.

I like the deep V neckline. Let's hope that embroidery flickers in the light or it'll look muddy.

I don't know what skincare Masako and her SiL (Kiko?) use but it must be good as they're both mid-50s and look 20 years younger!

Queen it may be amazing skincare or more likely amazing genes

Here is Queen Margarethe's Christmas speech, along with photos of her from every Christmas address she's given since becoming queen. The bit about Prince Henrik is very cleverly worded!

There's also a year in review of CPM's fashion choices.

Meghan and Harry's baby will be the first (ever?) mixed race member of the royal family

Possibly the first legitimate one?

I disagree it'll be the first mixed race baby - when you consider that in the past they married from other royal families including spain, portugal etc where there is a lot of African influence.

And anyway, so what?

Did not one of the Gloucester or Kent daughters/granddaughters marry a Maori man a decade or so ago? Do they have children?

I hope the baby is very noticeably black.

@PollyEthel It was one of the Gloucester daughters - her husband has some Maori blood.

Ah - thank you.

Better pics.

I think Mags wins this time.

Lady Davina Windsor and family

Queen Daisy wins at everything!

He's quite a looker @Parker231 though that's a photo from several years ago.

Evenin! I've wondered about the Japanese Princesses and their style. Worthy of inclusion?

They seem to have a very regimented 'work' and dress uniform. Almost Stefordian.

I hope the baby is very noticeably black.

Why? Or is that just an odd thing to say?

The Japanese royal women look amazing in traditional dress but the western clothes they favour are so conservative they make Kate's coatdresses look racy in comparison!

Lol Queen.
Their western wear is v v v v conservative.

I hope the baby is very noticeably black.

Do you? I hope the baby will be delivered safe and healthy to delighted parents.

I keep having loads of dreams that Prince Philip has died. Every single dream last night featured it in some way. I had to get up & check the news in case it was true!
