Royal style: the Queen of Spain reigns in the fashion games

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread, usual rules.

No surprise at all re the Snowdons. She's looked miserable and he seems a bit to much like his father to be a recipe for marital happiness.

Yes! I think it's the one that KM wore for the Chinese state dinner where she wore that gorgeous red dress.

Yes, that's the one!

Qualified for her Irish passport so

Weren't there blackmail rumours about Lord S some years ago?

Families go through this it does seem to come in waves. We have to remember that only one of the Queens children is on their first marriage the other three divorced. It really is hard to stick to the marriage vow till death us do part when we are all living such long lives.

Is that the Lotus Tiara I spy?

Yes, but all I ever see when I look at photos of their wedding is how off centre it is 😖😖😖

According to Australian media there is a blackmail case in court here currently re a "gay sex scandal" video involving him. In which case, divorce doesn't seem weird. Apparently uk media are not allowed to use his name regarding the case or, I assume, allude it.

Leti.... wow.

He has a look of Andrew about him. I’m not loving the Margaret-esque dress actually although it might be because it is a bit odd to mimic your MIL’s iconic wedding dress. And they named their daughter Margarita.

Like father like son

Poor Serena. I used to know her, before she started dating him, although I knew her brother better. I hope she has fun again. She worked for Armani for a bit like Lady Helen Windsor iirc.

I didn't realise Serena was so young when they married - just 23. He's about 10 years older.

He was blackmailed before - There was a video shown to an undercover policeman who had the two blackmailers arrested. They were jaile for 5 years.

If the Australian media are reporting it, is it current or the old scandal? It was a video of Linley and another man.

Matilda looks fabulous in that headband.

But she's like me - I could be dressed head to toe in D&G but I will never look current. Like her, I have a "dated" face and always did. Dammit.

Totally right. Sorry. Went back and checked and it was dated 2007. The article was tweeted. Rookie SM mistake!!

Well it’s good he only fell for it once!

The blackmail court case was in 2007/2008 so that was 12 years ago, they were married approximately 14 years by then.

Wow, that dress on Leti! I don’t think Kate would ever wear anything quite that, erm, fitted. There. Ahem

Mathilde looks lovely, that dress is very elegant. She looks kind, I think - is she supposed to be?

Love the neckline on Leti's dress but I don't like the fabric. A ponte roma or heavy jersey would be nicer than that micro rib (which is very 90s)

The Countess of Snowdon's wedding dress seems to be one of two parts - the satin parts are gorgeous but the tulle bit looks all wrong.

@StCharlotte not dated - classic

Serena had a business on Walton street, but long closed now, it was actually good and did pretty well. I bought many gifts from her and I know someone who used her products for guests visiting her country home. She seemed really lovely.
Perhaps they waited till the kids are older before divorcing.

Serena's father might also own Walton Street.

She does dress well. She makes the eternal coat dress look good. He is not ageing well though. He looks like Oliver Letwin

The dress that Mathilde wore with the massive headband is just lovely

In fact she has a strong cape game in general

David Snowdon was never a looker, even in his youth @CarrotVan. His father was marginally better looking but even so, casting Matthew Goode to play him in The Crown was far too flattering!
