Charles and Camilla off to NZ and Pacific in November

I used to think Rania's kids looked nothing like her but the youngest looks very much like her pre-surgery photo!

New official photo of Sofia and Carl Philip.
( he is really handsome, but that beard is so scraggly)

That's a great photo of Sophia and Carl. Love the colour of her top (or dress?).

The before/after photos of Rania are astonishing! I think I prefer her old nose - the new one looks so obviously sculpted, especially the tip.

paradyning · 10/10/2019 21:21

Her new nose is Jackonesque.

I love that pic of S&CP. Sofia looks stunning. Love her top/dress.

Must be weird when you have kids and they pop out with your original genetic features

A la Demi Moore too

awarmglow · 10/10/2019 21:39

I love Warehouse too, was 90's for me. They did a series of see through net tops and I bought and wore them to death. My faves were a short sleeved sky blue with daises on, worn with skin tone wonderbra and a black long sleeved with fuschia flowers. Black wonderbra obvs. As much as I loved the tops I did wear them to attract men and that's was problematic for the self esteem.

Doyoureallyneedtoask · 10/10/2019 21:52

Awarmglow I had the long sleeve version of that top or one that sounds very similar. I wore it with a white vest top underneath it. I loved it!!!!

queenofarles · 10/10/2019 22:16

Rania's shoes are very Chanel. Love them. they are Malone souliers , I’m not a fan of them , they are everywhere!
not loving the blouse too, although my DM has one

Did anyone get a glimpse of Kate’s chanle bag handle? I didn’t see it before, wonder if it was specially made , It’s pretty unusual , it’s not the regular coco handle

Evening style fans Dublin calling... thanking @QueenOfTheAndals for the sparkly and heavily sequinned new thread 🇵🇰

I always thought Fergie had a shed load of work done. She looks her age and that’s no bad thing.
@banivani thank you for the Swedish photos. It’s like a whole new RF I can get ridiculously over involved with

StartupRepair · 10/10/2019 22:20

Any Dane understand why Fred and Mary are sending all their DC to boarding school in Switzerland? Seems a bit out of left field.

AngelaScandal · 10/10/2019 22:24

Peace and quiet I suspect she jests

Ninkaninus · 10/10/2019 22:28

It’s not for an extended period, it’s for 3 months. And Mary will be living there throughout. I expect they want their children to benefit from experiencing a different country and culture and seeing things from a different perspective. Both Frederik and Joachim went to a boarding school in France at one point.

AliasGrape · 10/10/2019 22:29

Thanks for the new thread Queen

In the hairdressers today I was perusing an old issue of Bella magazine (I wasn’t getting a blue rinse honestly!) that seemed to be entirely royal family themed. Some vintage photos I’d not seen before though I’m sure others will have. Not sure about HM’s Deirdre Barlow glasses when meeting Bush senior!

It’s only for a short period of time. Probably to improve their language skills. (Article in DM if anyone wants to look for it)

AliasGrape · 10/10/2019 22:33

Few more pics I liked

Mary has said, ‘we see it as a gift to our children, something they can experience together and support each other in, and a gift they will benefit from for the rest of their lives.’ (loosely translated)

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/10/2019 22:34

@AliasGrape

HM definitely lost her way style wise in late middle age.

Ninkaninus · 10/10/2019 22:34

And yes, I imagine it’s also to solidify their French language skills.

AliasGrape · 10/10/2019 22:37

Last couple

Retrospective of Fergie’s 80s fashion

Ninkaninus · 10/10/2019 22:50

She definitely had a certain something about her. She looks quite striking in some of those pictures! I expect she’s rather a lot of fun.

RoseQuartzGlow · 10/10/2019 22:56

That selection is not too bad. They’ve left out the real shockers!!

Ninkaninus · 10/10/2019 23:01

Heh yes...but then it was the eighties...and she seems like the type to wholeheartedly throw herself into things!
