Royal style & gossip: tiaras, tantrums and totty

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Sorry, just not my day and I dropped the ball again!

Only Max could pull off those tights with that dress!

MAAAAAAAX!!!!

God that woman is attractive and cool! What about her is so interesting?! She seems to have the opposite of “resting bitch face”, you just want to be her friend! Honestly Max is the one that’d drive me to standing in the rain and waving a little flag at a royal. She’s a superstar

Max looks radiant and amazing as usual. She has true joie de vivre!

Max always looks great because: She's has she's warm and genuinely joyful and engaging. She has warm brown eyes. She's 5'10".

How tall is Kate btw? She's listed as 175cm online but she looks smaller than that next to Michelle Obama (5'11") and about the same size as Beyonce (168cm). She's obviously taller than average... but being super lean and wearing high heels most of the time she seems taller than she actually is. I'm thinking 5'7" to 5'8" rather than 5'9".

Camilla's kaftan is a rewear.
Hello had a photo of her wearing it last week at some awards and she wore it at the Irish embassy 'do' last night.
I suppose she thought she'd better wear green and it was still hanging on the back of the wardrobe from last week.

How’s this for a squidgy baby?!

Kate is very petite next to William. She looks like she is slightly downhill of him, but there is still a significant height difference

@CurlyWurlyTwirly She's certainly tall but not as tall as reported. I definitely thought she should look taller when wearing heels, even with William (even though he's 6'3!).

I thought Kate was meant to be 5'10? She looked fairly tall the one time I saw her.

If she is listed as 175cm that is a smidge under 5'9". It's my height so if I ever meet her I'll try to get her to take shoes off and stand back to back

Oh THANK you Max for cleansing yesterday's horse blanket from my mind. This outfit is stupendous! 💛

I loved the ombré cape on Max yesterday.
I'd say she lights up a room.

Kate is always reported at being 5ft 9 or 10 same as Princess Diana, but Kate never looks that tall to me unless she is in heels, whereas Diana looked tall even in flats, however Diana was all legs and Kate has relatively short legs so maybe it’s the proportions. If Wiliam really is 6ft 3 (I’m assuming we don’t really know) then I’m guessing 5ft 8 or 9 based on that.

Betty Diana looked tall because she was taller than / the same height as Charles (depending on which measurements you believe). Kate is 6 inches or more shorter than William so she looks small compared to him. My strapping 6'4.5" husband makes me look little my 5.8 ex made me look tall.

Swoon at Max and the sequins

Grumble Diana looked tall because she was tall and having long legs made her look even taller, I’m saying to me Kate looks shorter than Diana because of their different proportions, the only reason I posted a picture of Kate next to William was to try and make an educated guess at her height which I stated in my post.

I just googled the heights of various royal women and the continental ones are all above average height. Letizia at 5'7 is the shortest!

And now for some gratuitous photos of SFF...

If Wiliam really is 6ft 3

That will make him the second tallest British monarch in history when he assumes the throne, Edward IV being the tallest. I think after William, next tallest would be Henry VIII and Charles II.

I think all HM's sons are over 6 foot aren't they? Guess they get their height from the DoE's side.

Also, bloody hell Edward!

That's a gorgeous photo of the Dutch Royal Family there Curly
They look so much fun.
I'm sure If the Oranges (is that their family name?) ran Christmas at Sandringham then we'd all want to go.
This old Guardian article about the Dutch Royal Family is an interesting & amusing read : www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2013/apr/30/king-willem-12-things-dutch-royal-family

Wax the Lager Prince!

Poor Edward! All the Windsor men where good looking in their youth, it’s not true men get better with age, well not the Windsor family anyway.

Gosh if you look at the clothing choices from Princess Eugenie for the last few weeks I am saying she’s dressing to hide a baby bump!

Queen Charles is 5'10" according to the fount of all wisdom that is Wikipedia (and 5'9" according to other online listings).

Ooh give examples Roffle! I’d love more baby news :)
