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

@Rhubarbisevil The regatta is on Friday. It'll be as per this thread's title for Kate and no doubt a fleece for William if it's chilly. He certainly didn't inherit his dad's taste in clothes!

So: regatta (to rhyme with hatter) or regaaartta (to rhyme with martyr)?

I say regatta, DH says regaaartta ....

Thanks for new thread Queen

@Laiste I just associate it with Friends and that time Rachel invented a "regatta gala" to impress a guy!

Leti and her daughters out shopping. Leonor really looks like her now, Sofia more like SFF's sisters.

To clarify

Meghan & Barack Obama have the same birthday.

I thought the greeting from Kensington Royal was a bit odd / muted.
Maybe they were trying to be inclusive with a photo of all of them.
Wierd that there’s no photo more recent than last Xmas.

The Queen Mother’s was born on 4th August too, one of my grandparents birthday was the same day.

Spanish royal family's summer photocall. Let looking good in a floral dress, the princesses still looking like twins. They're 12 and nearly 14 now.

Sorry about the rogue apostrophe above.

Leti’s dress is gorgeous, I love the colour & the back is fabulous if you don’t need a bra. Usually NewmyRoyals manages to identify items, I wonder where it’s from.

Wow lovely, amazing number of pictures and all looking so happy and relaxed. The girls are beautiful and very ‘normally’ dressed.

Leonor is so ethereal looking. I wonder what would happen if she married say, Christian of Denmark?? It would be like a throwback to medieval times!

The young Spanish princesses are always beautifully and appropriately dressed... I think Sofia is the taller one? I find it hard to tell the difference between them! Not overly keen on Letizia's dress but she looks well.
Wouldn't it be funny if KM waved the two fingers to us all on Friday by not wearing a Breton stripe number 😂 I'm just back from hols in Brittany so I'm all striped out now...

@Gooseysgirl Yes, Sofia is younger but has inherited SFF's height.

Thanks for the new thread Queen (new to me in any case - just catching up now).

Clicking on random links before I came across the picture collection of royals as children, some lovely ones in there. How blonde was Princess Anne?! My favourite is the young Zara pic at the very end.

Lots of pics of the Spaniards over the past few days - it's totally renewed my love for those Alvarcas/Menorcan sandals. I had a pair a million years ago and wore them till they fell apart.

Found some rare pics of W+K returning to BP after their wedding for the Queen's luncheon reception. Here's Harry smoothing out the train!

And here's Charles and Camilla and the Middletons arriving back.

Camilla pets the horse whilst the footman laughs and the Middletons look a bit dazed!

Lovely pics Elspeth.

You forget how architectural that dress was as you more often see front pics

Great photos Elspeth. Zara looked lovely that day, silver grey & black IIRC, and I remember Tara Palmer Tomkinson in gorgeous sky blue.

I wonder if the Middletons had been to BP a few times by them? Must have been very surreal!
