I've lost count of how many threads we've had! Previous thread.

Let's keep the gossip lighthearted and, as always, stick to critiquing the clothes rather than being overly critical about the women wearing them.

The son getting martied is the spitting image of his dad.

Tatiana's hippy/boho look has evolved into something sleeker and she looks good. But oh Andrea, what happened??

I like Charlene's hair in those photos - I think the slightly longer length really suits her.

I really like Stephanie’s yellow jumpsuit for the civil ceremony.
I think she has had at the very least a facelift and she must spend a lot of time in the gymn. She does however seem softer and more vulnerable in recent years. She ha£ a bit of a hard look about her when she was younger

Charlène in a stunning tiara commissioned for her by Albert. It is supposed to represent the ocean.

Some truly horrific frocks there at the Monaco wedding.

It was spam. MN was targeted overnight.

QueenOfTheAndals · 01/08/2019 08:25

Looks like Stephanie's boobs are being attached by snakes a la Cleopatra there! And Charlotte really is the image of Caroline - those photos really ram it home.

I'd forgotten till I saw that photo but the 80s were all about the untamed eyebrow. The Hemingway sisters were notable examples.

QueenOfTheAndals · 01/08/2019 09:15

Actually Stéphanie has always has a slight look of the Hemingway sister about her, come to think of it @Myimaginarycathasfleas. The untamed brow look isn't a bad one, better than the 90s pencil-thin brow or the current fashion for them to look sharpied anyway!

On another note, I'd forgotten what Caroline's second husband looked like. Pierre C bears a strong resemblance to him. Very sad he died so young, early 30s I think? Caroline seemed to suffer greatly after his death - I can remember all her hair fell out at one point.

Caroline cut her hair short in her grief as a widow. However I think.She actually shaved it off to make Ernst of Hanover marry her; as they were having an affair at the time.

queenofarles · 01/08/2019 09:45

I thought caroline shaved it off because she had some sort of scalp illness like Alopecia

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 01/08/2019 09:47

I think that was the official version

QueenOfTheAndals · 01/08/2019 09:51

I don't know what she saw in Ernst, he seems a complete boor!

Caroline with short hair. The resemblance to Charlotte is particularly uncanny here.

Caroline,relationship with Ernst
Explains the hair loss was dress alopecia

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 01/08/2019 09:56

She looks good with short hair

this is an interesting read Prince Harry gave a speech about Global warming in Sicily, 140 private jets were needed to bring in all the guests. Not to mention the ones who came there by private yachts. Prince Harry really needs to think twice the next time he talks about change and global warming.
