Royal style & gossip: back to style, back to reality...

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Sorry! I was in a meeting and dropped the ball.

Previous thread and previous rules apply!

Meghan has gone to NYC for the weekend to watch Serena Williams play.
Sounds like a fun weekend, although I wouldn’t like that much flying for 2 days.
Anyway she went to a hot yoga class to beat jet lag. Maybe we’ll get a glimpse of her court side. Her casual style is always interesting to see.

I think I could put up with it if I was in first class @CurlyWurlyTwirly!!

Good point @QueenOfTheAndals !

Also it’s the Braemar Games this weekend. Wonder whether we’ll be seeing lots of the Royals in tweed

I’m quite fond of a monochrome look although I never achieve it except with black (and that doesn’t count). Clearly CPV has taken a leaf out of the pages of this blog dresslikeaparisian.com/how-to-wear-monochrome/

The blouse is bloody Rodebjer I think but not sure about the suit. Filippa K maybe? Swedish design again. She does her job.

Svensk Damtidning tells me that the Malaysian prince Tengku Muhammad Faiz Petra and his Swedish wife Sofie Louise are having a second/repeat wedding ceremony in Sweden. This weekend if I remember correctly. www.svenskdam.se/kungligt/vi-avslojar-nu-gifter-sig-prinsessan-sofie-louise-med-sin-malaysiska-prins-i-sverige/ hundreds of guests they say - if pictures come out there might be some great outfits (not from the swedes mind, they’ll all be ordinary commoners haha).

Incidentally, Michael Kors is using pictures of Kate wearing that dress on his website. That’s not on, surely?

CP Mary looks like she is wearing a very posh dressing gown.
( the colour and print are great on her; style not so much)

I like it. Doesn’t bother me that it’s dressing gown-like.

I like it too, she looks good in red.

Great shoes again!

Thought this maybe of interest?

Zara fell off.

Are you there now @ursulapandress?

No. I was watching on the red button.

There were a lot of falls.

@paradyning

Great article about the Crown, thanks for that.
I think OC captured the solemnity ( and hairstyle) of HM in this picture.
But I am still thrown by the brown eyes.

Gillian Anderson is going to play Margaret Thatcher in Season 4

Autumn and Peter were at the Braemar games. ( I’m wondering who took their girls back to school, or maybe 5hey flew up for the weekend and are going back tomorrow)

Gorgeous colours.

I hope those little girls didn't curtsey to Peter and Autumn . You can't have your cake and eat it...

From what the article says, if they'd kept the contacts on Olivia C then that would've been all people would've talked about!

Who is the dear old boy on the left, middle row, with too-big socks?
Reminds me of my late and lovely Uncle Alistair

with too-big socks

Just noticed the dear old boy has got a knife stuck in the side of his sock; as has Prince Charles

I’m presuming Charles is thereby being fully traditional with what he is (not) wearing under his kilt, and I’d be rather worried of sitting at ground level and looking up at the stage

A close up of the Monaco RF
Better view of Charlene’s Hippie Luxe outfit; the kids look cute and normal, but could someone please explain what that strawberry shoelace thing is around Albert’s neck?!

Erm. It's not a knife it's a sgian-dubh!

I guess technically it is a knife.

I was at a works do once when it all went tits up with a fight between a man in a kilt and another chap. The ‘knife’ thingy down the sock featured.

Wow Ursula, I thought my old work had some interesting parties, but the worst we had was a broken ankle through over enthusiastic dancing. Knife fights never featured!
