Royal style & gossip: the Middletonian, the Marklesque and the Maximal!

Link to book group thread, which has the list of books.

And in case you get bored of the royals or they're having a quiet week, here's the Celebrity S&G thread!

Remember, let's critique the clothes without getting too personal about the wearers.

It reads exactly like it was going to be released! I don’t blame her but this is an absolute shtshow (excuse my language) and harry’s team should’ve dealt with all of this ahead of the wedding. Everyone has odd relatives (hello Middletons) but this is a complete farce. Where are the royal advisors?!

Erm I don't like to thread police, but in the interest of keeping it civil and light-hearted here, how about we move the talk about the letter to the thread set up specifically for it?

Meghan's letter to her dad in The Sunday Fail

Yes! Sorry :) back to style... so excited for the Baftas!! Wonder if Kate will wear some bling...

God it looks absolutely freezing at that ski championships.

Sadly, a style vacuum. Puffer coats and bobble hats. Oh well.

Aw I think the matching family winter outfits are cute!

Here's an article in Vogue about the Duchess of Cambridge's headbands. I feel I'm starting to turn ...

It's interesting that the Norwegians are wearing Swedish supporters outfits! But any excuse to stare at pics of Haakon for me.

@paradyning was it you who wanted hottie Haakon in your airing cupboard?

I'd find better uses for HH than an airing cupboard!

Perhaps the scandais can wear Chanel on the slopes next year!

I prefer HCP but am smart not indifferent to HH or SFF (Silver Fox Felipe). While lost in Wikipedia I came across the Duke of Anjou (well, "duke"), who’d actually be king of Spain if his grandfather hadn't relinquished his place in the succession on account of being deaf. I think you'll agree that he too is fairly easy on the eye...

No but that sounds like a good idea

The Spaniards have excellent male genes

I'm the one who's having Haakon installed in the airing cupboard so hands off!!!!

Queen it's the only place I can think to store him when not in use!

Loving the equating of a trip to Morocco with one to Liverpool!

Agree MM would look great in a kaftan.

Hope we see some reasonably priced well fitting maternity wear.

That made me bark with laughter!

Sorry, I forgot I was letting her off.

it's the only place I can think to store him when not in use!

Thank you frugalkitty, I have a wonderful mental picture now of you moving him aside while rootling for clean towels.

I’m moving to Spain.

Suggestions for Meghan’s Moroccan wardrobe

I've been going to Marrakesh for years , I know where are all the good unique kaftans are if Meghan wants any tips . it's not in the medina.
I think I would look out for vintage kaftans , or vintage Berber designs , jewels . Moroccan are very proud of their Berber and Amazighs heritage and it would be a nice gesture to wear a coat /cover/jewellery in thier ethnic design as most of these items are made by amazighs women.

MM should stay away from Oscar de la renta Kaftans, these are not even remotely Moroccan , they are mostly Algerian or Tunisian inspired and really it would be quite wrong to show up wearing one, ,

It appears Princess Lalla Salma is now divorced from the King of Morocco which is a pity as she was magnificent.

The Spaniards have excellent male genes

The Duke of Huescar, heir to the Dukedom of Alba, and his bride.

He looks like he got lost on the way to the Battle of Waterloo @SenecaFalls, but I'll never say no to a man in uniform!

Is he the grandson of the ?
