As on the previous thread, please critique the outfit rather than criticise the woman and keep Megxit talk for the many many threads already dedicated to that!

Yep, she's already gone there!

In terms of missing posters...

Some of the people who have left this thread are bathing in the glee of M&H's 'downfall' elsewhere on mumsnet. They left when it was made clear that this thread was for style and gossip chat, but not unpleasantness. They were becoming rather one note here.

I think I've liked every single thing Sarah Armstong-Jones has worn.

I second this. I love those 50s style skirt and cardi outfits she often wears.

paradyning · 07/02/2020 18:47

Agree about her wedding dress. I love the flowers in the tiara too

QueenOfTheAndals · 07/02/2020 18:48

Touché @thisenglishlife.

Codpiece, oh no! Grin One of the things I like about Sarah's dress is its medieval-to-Elizabethan sort of fusion.

thisenglishlife · 07/02/2020 19:04

I've read that back and it's sounds very bitchy and sour, but it was meant to represent some annoyance rather than that!

Back to the fashion, I saw this old photo recently and love the dress (by the Spanish designer Felipe Varela, I believe).

That is beautiful @thisenglishlife.

Max has been to the Dutch National Opera & Ballet. Amazing earrings and I quite like the top, but I'm not keen on the trousers. Are they linen? They look too casual for the top half of the outfit, to my mind.

Love Letizia's dress and Max's earrings but not that top or trousers. Also, dare I say it, but Max needs a MN bra intervention!

Some lovely royal outfits here, who wore the same or similar style the best.

Princess Margaret was stunning n those birthday photos. I miss the age of glamour!

StartupRepair · 07/02/2020 20:27

Love Sarah's dress. She was the granddaughter of the (deceased) King, of course.

paradyning · 07/02/2020 20:55

I thought Leti was Kate then. Same pose and very Kate dress

banivani · 07/02/2020 21:53

Queen Sonja was/is just absolutely gorgeous, those 70s photos are 👩‍🍳‘a 💋 !

mathanxiety · 07/02/2020 22:41

Princess Ingrid has such a strong look of Sonia.

I don't know if it has been posted before but there is a 4½ minute youtube video that has a review of 2019 for the Swedish Royal Family - worth a watch

Rhubarbisevil · 08/02/2020 07:33

Love those photos justasking, thanks for the link. Gosh, Melania is giving out a death stare isn’t she?

QueenOfTheAndals · 08/02/2020 08:13

I think that's a combination of too much cosmetic surgery around her eyes and hating her day job @Rhubarbisevil!

Finally started watching The Crown last night - was loving the forties and fifties styles. So elegant!

BigGreenOlives · 08/02/2020 09:22

Melania is not thriving.

I really liked the article with the two dresses side by side.

paradyning · 08/02/2020 09:39

I loved Charlene's red lips in the article. Interesting that Max and her have shared a few looks.

They left when it was made clear that this thread was for style and gossip chat, but not unpleasantness.

I thought there wasn’t any gossip chat allowed anymore? I miss being able to discuss royal gossip with reasonable people.
