Royal style & gossip: make every day Tiara Tuesday!

And I shouldn't have to say this anymore but will do so for any newbies - let's keep our critiquing to the clothes and not the women wearing them.

There is no need for this PR flower stunt

She is pregnant with her first child and is doing what many US expecting mother do, have a baby shower . Enjoy a weekend with her friends . the cost , or who organised it is irrelevant.

For me it all seems like the only purpose of NYC as a venue is maximum exposure. It’s like the biggest free publicity for her stylist friend and her other actress friend Abigail and Serena and Clooney are picking up the tab

OK WE GET THE POINT SHUT UP ABOUT THE BLOODY BABY SHOWER OR START YOUR OWN THREAD ABOUT IT ARGH 😤

I agree!! Can someone pm me when we start talking shite about clothes and tiaras again please.

Those are incredibly blue sapphires aren’t they in that tiara and earrings aren’t they - make the ones in my mum’s engagement ring look pretty pale in comparison! Love the cape too - beautiful colour. It’s also the sort of outfit you could literally only wear as royalty which I appreciate 👌🏻

Not exactly about clothes, but I was meandering around YouTube last night looking for royal fashion and came across this.

We were all young once.

Queen Beatrice did wear the tiara with sapphires, it's just her hair is so bouffanty that the sapphires were hidden.

Oh hello Max! She always looks great, always quite a strong look!

(Still, desperately trying to keep the chat to fashion)

Max is interesting as she always goes for bold looks but they seem true to her, they always work. Dare say she’s my favourite royal

Beatrix!

This is the Royal STYLE and GOSSIP thread

If you want a thread where you can criticise and sneer at HRH Duchess Of Sussex's every cough and fart then feel free to begin one elsewhere

Except for the fact that your thread will most likely get pulled because it will attract the :

I'm REALLY not a racist BUT crowd and go steadily downhill from there

Ok, I think everything that needed to be said about the baby shower has been said so can we move on? The Morocco trip starts tomorrow so plenty of scope for clothes chat!

Oh you are quite right @PollyEthel, my bad!

Is that even a tiara!? It’s like a diamond hat!

Max's inauguration attire was beautiful. I have watched that ceremony several times. My favorite part is when they sing the national anthem. The Netherlands has the best national anthem. And unlike the UK's, the monarch can sing it, too, since it's not about saving him. And the look on Max's face while they are singing is so touching. She is full of emotion and it all shows.

Bloody nora, those sapphires are glorious. This thread has not only introduced me to Max, but made a convert of me. She looks so fabulous, always.

Max looks resplendent and that tiara is just jaw-dropping!

Such a shame Order of Splendour is no longer updated :(

And breathes... normality has been retired. Poor Charles, so out of his comfort zone! And my word, the blue!

That tiara is amazing. It's like she has fun with everything. You can imagine her going into the vault saying "I'm wearing it all"!!!

Gaaaaaawd I would go to the vault, say “deck me up”, and wear my weight in diamonds I’d balance tiaras on my toes, then roll around in emeralds

Does anyone know why Max is wearing the sash one way in her husband's inauguration photo and the other way at the Danish state banquet ?

is there a correct way ie over the right sholder ? Or doesn't it matter ?

I think it is sash specific. For Wax's inauguration, she will have been wearing a Dutch sash with its own rules. For the Danish visit, she will (I'm fairly sure) have been wearing a Danish sash with different rules specific to it.

Each order has a protocol for wearing the sash, including which shoulder, so I assume she is wearing different orders at the two occasions.

Order as in Order of the Garter, for example.

Just checked - the blue and orange sash from the inauguration is the Order of Netherlands Lion. The pale blue sash from the state visit to Denmark is the Order of the Elephant, a Danish order.

This photo of Diana that CurlyWurlyTwirly posted earlier, I can really see a facial resemblance between Meghan & Diana. Chin, cheeks, eyes & nearly similar noses. They always say you go for familiar looks e.g. marry someone who looks like your family. Meghan & Harry have the same shaped noses & chins.
Also I can see a bit of Diana & the Queen Mum in Kate.
