Royal style: Max and Wax and whacky hats

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Now that the Commonwealth event is nearly over, we have another treat ahead of us. Maxima in Indonesia!

In light of what happened on the previous thread, I'm going to take a leaf out of Elizabeth SMT Holmes' book and say critique the clothes and the styling but not the physical appearances of various royal women.

See, I must be an old cynic. I thought that was really contrived.

Me too paradyning I thought there was no emotion or compassion in it whatsoever, I'm not a fan of the royals in general (just their clothes!) but I thought Charles' was much better.

Ditto. Completely orchestrated for nostalgic effect.

The Queen has never had an emotive style of communication. I think it would have seemed more unnatural if she had done that now, and maybe even a bit alarming.

I agree. If she changed style now it would be terrifying.

Also I wonder how long it took her to film - It must take quite a big effort at her age.

alliwantisagoodnightssleep it's funny what tips us over the edge sometimes. HM didn't move me much but i find myself quite upset about Boirs in ICU tonight !

sigh

Come on Boris

Not really about her clothes but CoW comes across so well in this video and hairwise she does look like Gillian Anderson playing the CoW

Letizia is still working. Now that is how to do believable WFH photos!

TheDuke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to launch a charitable organisationnamed Archewell, which will replace their Sussex Royal brand.

Ive not heard the word pronounced. Is it said arch-e-well or just arch-well?

They didn’t really announce it, as much as they had to confirm it. A reporter from the Telegraph went digging through legal filings, found all the trademarks, then approached them asking about it.

I think it’s a shame they didn’t get a chance to announce this in their own time with a proper launch. I already seen several fake social media accounts popping up pretending to be connected to this.

I like those photos of Leti WFH. I've seen a few of them and in all of them she seems to be wearing black flats - a far cry from her usual heels. I guess this signals a more low key look - anyone would look ridiculous WFH in stilettos, even Leti.

Camilla is out of self-isolation. Here's her WFH shot. I personally dislike pastels but this shade of pink looks lovely on her.

Sorry, photo would help.

That one is slightly more plausible than some! And yes, lovely colour on her.

Some interesting outfits on HMQ here 🤣🤣🤣.

I saw this earlier very funny 😁

Does Camilla have a photo of APB on her bookshelf there??

I like that Camilla’s home office is full of boxes and crap. Looks realistic

I tried blowing up the picture but I can't quite make it out.

Has someone left the blue price tag on the greetings card at the bottom right?!

Enjoy the British Royal family commitment to landlines. It's probably for security but it is very comforting and retro.

Camilla has normal bookshelves 👍.

That's a great picture of Camilla - the pink really suits her.

And I love that her office has empty boxes and stuff and photos just propped up on the bookshelves.

Yes, definitely not a "stunt" office.
