Royal style & gossip: the gowns and glamour of the Garter

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

Now that the Orange One has gone, it's almost time for a visit from the Oranje One! Yes, Queen Max will be attending next Monday's Garter ceremony. It'll be a triplicate fashion face-off between her, Letizia and Kate - who will emerge victorious?

I jumped until 4 and a half months and rode until 6 months until my bump hit the saddle pommel.

What a great photo and to think they are genuinely nice too.
The warmth of Max oozes out of her.
Sad her parents couldn't go to her wedding.

This image, however really highlights why darts should be reconsidered, and Eugenie should get less tight tops / better undergarments.

It crossed my mind that Zara could be expecting and it was lovely seeing her so loved up with her family.

Kate looked stunning. She also looked very happy.

In fact they all did.

Smashing

Oh my. Did Eug not look in the mirror and think “oh dear, this dress makes my boobs look terrible AND it’s given me an extra pair of nipples”.

The Queen will be shattered. It seems likes she's been in constant event mode for the last few weeks!

I don't like Kate's dress, or the York sisters.. Sophie's hat and dress look just awful.

Love Zara's look though! i think she may just not have dropped the baby weight yet rather than being pregnant again. I do think Eugenie is pregnant.

Eugenie and Beatrice looked completely frightful as usual.

Kate looked so frumpy - especially the hat which was just gopping.

Sophie - no words. What was she thinking?

Maxima - just fabulous.

And Camilla. She knows what suits her and always looks great.

Anyone else think the Royals at Ascot were having a worst dressed competition!?

The queens hat looks like she sat on it ( beggin your pardon, Ma’am)

I loved her maj’s hat. Do we know why she always wears black shoes these days?

I am sure i said about baby's coming too

Zara and Eugenie

HM and Camilla looked great. Max drop dead gorgeous.

Lovely ring @AliasGrape

Once again i think Kate looks lovely. It's her style. It suits her i think and, like Max, it's nice to see her sticking with a style she obviously feels good in. I'd honestly rather be accused of looking a bit too skinny and demure all the time than be seen once by the world's press looking like Eugenie in that blue. (Sorry eug.)

Yes, beautiful ring!

Kate can get away with her outfit with her body frame and height - and I like the bottom half but not the top. I think longer skirts suit her. Zara looks lovely - brave to wear a bold print and it suits her personality. The Queen looks lovely. Perhaps her black shoes are particularly comfortable? Max's outfit - not my fave but like the hat - again for her personality.

I love that Maxima used to work in a bank in New York. You can go down a rabbit hole googling her before marriage....

Why didn't anyone tell Eugenie what she looked like, or why didn't she see??!!!😳

I honestly wonder if Beatrice and Eugenie own a mirror.

They dress so badly. I think the problem is they have frumpy figures that are hard to dress and they are short. It’s just harder to dress well if the basics aren’t there. Tall and slim Kate looks great in everything because her body is easy to dress.

I’m afraid I also think Sophie always looks just a bit wrong too.

As Eugenie is an hourglass shape I I think she would look great in a wiggle dress. Or go for the Dior New Look aesthetic to balance out her top & bottom sort out like her wedding dress did.

(like this but obviously her feet aren't that big)

Kate May be thin but her deportment is dreadful. I just want to pull her shoulders back. CPM has incredible poise.

Tracy I'll have a rummage in the airing cupboard and find a space for Max......as long as she doesn't try any funny business with His Hotness
