Royal style & gossip: summer is coming, tiaras better be too!

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

And as promised, here's a guide to the acronyms we use on these threads:

HM - the Queen
DoE - Prince Philip
PM - Princess Margaret
QM - the Queen Mum
W&K - William and Kate
H&M - Harry and Meghan
C&C - Charles and Camilla
B&E - Beatrice and Eugenie
Max & Wax - Maxima and Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands
CPV - Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden
HCP - (Hot) Carl-Philip of Sweden
CPM - Crown Princess Mary of Denmark
Mar & Fre - CPM when she’s with her husband, Frederik of Denmark
SWFM - (Single White Female) Marie of Denmark, on account of resembling several other royal women!
HH&MM - (Hottie) Haakon and Mette-Marit of Norway
SFF - (Silver Fox) Felipe of Spain

I think that’s all of them??

I imagine Kate’s stylist buys most things for her. The rest she probably does online like many of us - but probably has it all sent under a fake name to her parents/a friend to avoid people digging too deeply into her online orders or deliveries.

I would imagine they get lots of stuff brought to them by designers and posh shops to look at at home. And I know that sometimes shops close so they can browse undusturbed.

Ah congrats @Paradyning!

Ooh our own thread baby.

Congratulations

Congratulations Paradyning.

Thanks all. You will see me posting in the wee small hours

Ooh congratulations Paradying I hope you are both doing well!!

Congratulations Paradyning and welcome to the world baby P

Congratulations @Paradyning!

Baby @Paradyning for Thread Mascot! Congratulations!

Catching up on the thread. Have we seen these four? Queen Silvia, Princess Sofia, Queen Sofia of Spain and Princess Takamado of Japan - all looking very professional and business-like.

Congrats *Paradyning! That's fabulous news. Hope you're doing well and snuggled in cashmere

CPM was out and about in a red dress yesterday, SWFM is out and about in a red dress today. Maybe she's reading these threads and trolling us!

Well done Paradyning

They could be Resevoir Royals @MotherofPearl! Sophia's hair is looking very Kate.

Congratulations @Paradyning!

reservoir royals 

Maybe a future thread title @QueenOfTheAndals!

Congratulations Paradyning!

I love CPM's floral dresses, as well as Sophie's floral dress. Are we seeing a pattern here?!

Hahahaha at Reservoir Royals! 😂😂

Well Done Paradyning, are you going to post a pic of baby Paradyning's feet? 😉

Congratulations on your new baby, Paradyning! 🤱💕🎉

Congratulations, Paradyning! And welcome baby P - always room for another gorgeous, cheery, smooshable little potato on this thread 😊

Congratulations Paradyning!!!!!! Did you have a boy or a girl? Wishing baby P a wonderful life 🍀

I imagine continuous parcels arriving at BP’s post rooms which probably are addressed to a PO Box. I doubt they actually go shopping for clothes much themselves and buy mostly online including children’s clothes.

In reality the designers probably send Kate samples and Kate, her stylist and seamstress go through what they have/how they can customize with their diary of events in front of them. The designers often say that they weren’t aware that she was going to wear their dress although I imagine at this point Jenny Packham (and similar) have meetings with Kate and her team for occasion wear.

Speaking of looking like Kate, that red dress of SWFM's is very Kate.

Another congratulations from me @Paradyning. I do love a new baby!

Maybe she's a criminal mastermind @MotherofPearl, planning to do away with CPM, Letizia and Kate and then take all their places. But the Resevoir Royals will be onto her
plot and will seek help from their British branch (comprised entirely of Princess Anne) if necessary...
