H&M - Harry and Meghan
C&C - Charles and Camilla
B&E - Beatrice and Eugenie

SWFM - (Single White Female) Marie of Denmark, on account of resembling several other royal women!

I think that’s all of them??

Max and her girls out to dinner in Seville

Letizia 👀 n’y sharp at a Spanish ladies football match

Letizia is attending the funeral of a Spanish politician.
She looks so chic.

Charlene really suits glasses . Water safety workshop

Something a little different - the Romanian royal family at a garden party.

From left: Princess Maria, Princess Elena, Margareta, Custodian of the Crown, Prince Radu, Princess Sophie and Domnul Alexander Nixon (husband of Princess Elena).

Puts the criticisms of what DoS, DoC, etc, wear in context.....

Someone we haven’t seen for a while. Queen Mathilde
Really not sure about that colour combo. Way too 70s and not in a cool; retro way.... !

Love how the Romanian ladies are all wearing a nude shoe!

Oh my, the Romanians! The green is atrocious, the blue only marginally less so. Yikes.

Slight change to my Kate and Chelsea flower show post further up. Chelsea is next week. HRH usually goes too IIRC.

I really liked the Sussex insta post 🤷🏻‍♀️ Wow the Romanians like their hats - lotsa feathers going on there

Letizia looking very business-like with SFF and HSPM (Hot Spanish Prime Minister, an acronym I forgot to add to the list in my OP!)

Had the most random dream about Sophie Wessex, she was chatting with someone and saying how much she likes Parma violet candies.

Regarding the foot photos, I just don’t see what’s the point in showing a tiny part of them? Why not focus on the flowers instead ? Also find bow ties on babies tacky, giant flower hair bands on bald babies naff too,
so I hope no one accuses me of bashing the Sussexes , it’s just personal perference.

I'm not sure about the baby feet photos, they seem a bit pointless to anyone except the parents. I'm looking forward to Archie's "cake smash" photos though!

I’m with you on this!

Thanks for the new thread Queen, we got through the last one so quickly!

The Romanian royals certainly look … bright there! Queen Mathilde's outfit is horrible - it's like a smudged cow pat (sorry for any brown fans). Charlene definitely suits glasses; that photo is so down to earth.

Agree about the HSPM.
However he needs to find a decent tailor.

Well I'm 5ft8 and a size 4 shoes, so Kate's 5.5s aren't that unbelievable.

Anyway I did some royal spotting at the weekend so I will have to work out how to post a photo so you can critique the outfits 😁

Prince Harry is going to play polo in Rome for Sentebale at the end of May. Should be some very glam spectators.

So a busy week of Royal fashion coming up.
Ella Windsor’s wedding on Saturday. I think we will see the York’s and The Wessexes.
Then the Chelsea Flower show. Perhaps Kate in a floral Erdem? Who else British does good florals?
I haven’t seen Alice Temperley in a really long time. Is she still designing?

Ooh how exciting @Lexiloo!
We’re you at the Horse show?

Alice Temperley has a cheap (er) range at John Lewis made almost entirely of polyester.

Maybe Kate will be in something more hands on gardening. A pair of old jeans and her wellies.

Dammit my post isn't showing

I haven’t seen Alice Temperly range in JL in such a long time, is it still on? It’s looking a bit upmarket lately , with trilogy denim , j.Crew.

Kate’s Garden design..... and outfit(?)
I’ll be amazed if she pitches up in work clothes. Although not too showy a dress because she won’t want to detract from her garden.

Charlene is beginning to look like Lesley Ash to me. I really hope theirs is a live match, but so often there's no connection between her and Albert and it makes me wonder if it is a business arrangement marriage after all. The specs in that pic do suit her.
