Royal style & gossip: don't be fooled by the rocks that they've got, they're still Katie/Leti/Maxi from the block

Got to love Max!

Max looks amazing in that saucer! The dress style really suits her - and reminds me of the lovely white with blue dress that Kate's worn before.

Great shiny new thread, Queen. Her Maj looked so beautiful yesterday in Somerset; doesn't the sun make us all a little brighter?

I agree with whoever said Max is like Queen Margarethe Jr. Both are extremely comfortable in their skin and get away with outfits other women can't through sheer force of their personality. Kate or CP Mary would look ridiculous in that hat but Max carries it off with aplomb.

Charles and Camilla now in the Cayman Islands.

Charles looks like he is having a hoot!
Love Camilla in white

I think Camilla could pull off that hat... I actually think it's more about an overall look than personality.

Also fascinating (from many posts ago) how old queen mathilde looks. Nothing to do with wrinkles or skin or traditional ageing signs etc. Just the way she looks - clothes, hair etc

Yes Camilla has worn some big hats.

I think Queen Maxima has good taste; albeit flamboyant.
Margarethe does not have good taste. It is smart / costumey but now wow.

• not wow

My mum still does Beavers (at 78!) and I think they're introducing mini beavers who can start age 4 (it's 6 at the moment). Mums group aren't though, they feel it's too young.

Love Max's dress. I reckon it would suit me, I wonder where it's from?

Those pics of Camilla in the hats are brilliant. I especially liked the one from H&M's wedding.

Mmmhmmokdear

This link says Max's dress is Natan Couture:

Another look of Sophie's VB dress from yesterday and this blue one seems to be from today?? Visiting Orbis UK. I really like the blue, not so much the stripes.

Does anyone know if Camilla has done a solo engagement with the Queen, like Kate and Meghan have done? Any pics anywhere?

I think Samantha Cameron, when leaving Downing St, was in a dress similar to the stripey VB one. Was that also VB's?

@PinkSun9 Not that I recall but I think she, HM and Kate did an engagement together a few years ago.

Kate, Camillia and the queen did a joint visit before Kate's first solo trip with the queen in 2012 (I think) according to this article

This is the only photo I can find of that event. There may have been more since but not that I can easily find. And I can't find any of just the queen and Camillia but that seems to be a more recent thing since the DoE has retired so maybe it's something we will see in the future.

@ QueenoftheAndals, thanks. I wonder why HM hasn't done the same with Camilla as she did with Kate n Meghan.

Placemarking.

Two great looks from Sophie there - the VB one looks particularly good on her.

part 1 The accents are incredible

Diana's accent never ceases to amaze me as it's so ridiculously posh! Very few upper people sound like that these days - not even William and Harry.
