Royal style & gossip: Breton stripes and skinny jeans...

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread. I think we'll be a bit short of royal outfits as they're all off on their holidays atm. But Kate's regatta is coming up next week, hence the thread title!

Same rules as always - keep it light, critique the clothes rather than the women, and don't believe anything printed in the Daily Mail

Breton stripes will never date!!

I would like to see more of Meghan this summer so that I can copy her LA summer style.

Re Meghan's lipstick - I'm sure I read somewhere that she used Dior lip glow?

Good work @Rhubarbisevil

My contribution is to post this link to NMR showing some nice pics of Rania:

She always looks good in traditional dress I think. I found the remark in the comments section about the 'Addams family hand' in the second photo very amusing.

Back from my holiday, was going to have a name change but can't think of one I like! I've not read the whole thread as my data ran out, but will try and skim read to catch up. Hope all is well with you all

I was going to suggest HaakonInTheCloset @frugalkitty but then realised that's got a totally different implication!

Ooh yes, steady on Queen

Rania's makeup is on par with Meghan's there, @MotherofPearl. Does anyone know what dictates / guides royals on the decision to wear a head cover, or not? I remember a lot of tour photos over the years with various British and other European royals wearing something over their hair, but it doesn't seem consistent (or maybe its my memory).

Thank you . Have we got any Highland Games photos?

I'd love to see more of Meghan's casual style post pregnancy. I love that she hasn't fallen into the celeb trap of trying to look like she never had a baby body shape. She is the only member of the RF whose style I find interesting and try to copy her casual look (to an extent).

Very happy to read that her half sister's public account has been suspended from Twitter. I wonder if the RF's solicitors had something to do with that. I hope so!

I haven't even seen a long pap shot of her walking with the buggy or anything. Is she even in the UK?

Just checked & the Braemar games are the first Saturday in September.

That programme on the Queen’s lost family was really interesting.
If there was no primogeniture at the time; Princess Mary ( the doppelgänger for Princess Anne) would have been Queen; not Bertie.

No, she was younger than Bertie. A dead ringer for Princess Anne, wasn't she? I'm going to Harewood House in a couple of weeks so will keep an eye out for any random Lascelles!

I think she looks a lot like Lady Louise. I can see a likeness.

How are the other royal families perceived in their countries? I have never lived abroad. Are they tabloid (and often broadsheet) staples like here?

Cute pic from last week's regatta (regaaaarrtta? 😉)

I had a royal dream again last night - I was Maxima(!!) and I was conducting a secret affair with SFF! But I had to be careful as ex-queen Beatrix was also staying at the palace when he visited and I didn't want her to catch us together!!

Summer style throwback

One of Kate's Solomon Island looks - a very summery yellow Jaeger dress

She wore some good outfits on that trip - the cream Zimmerman is still one of my favourites.

Queen Max is certainly doing the rounds in our royal dreams!

So glad she stopped wearing these nude heels, I used to hate them!! They ruined many of her clothes.

Kate’s Zimmerman dress made the brand. It was mostly Known for their swimwear. It’s everywhere now, I’ve been to many place over the summer in Italy and south of France, and I spot them all the time.

Really looking forward to this!

And a less cheering RF story from The Guardian:

He's a detestable, loathsome man.

Farage said it didn't matter how few children H&M have as "there are now 2.6 billion Chinese and Indians on this Earth."
