Royal Style without our Queen ( of the Andals )

[LadyEloise]

Sadly QueenoftheAndals has decided to bow out and not create any more Royal Style and Beauty threads
I'm really hoping she'll reconsider.
Are any of the regular posters interested in continuing her great work ?

Absolutely gorgeous! Charlotte has her mum's legs! They all look so happy and relaxed.

Lovely photo of William and the children. The two boys are staggeringly alike!

What a beautiful photo of William and the children, absolutely gorgeous. ♥️

yy mother. For a minute I couldn't figure out why George had shrunk and was smaller than Charlotte. (Disclaimer, I hadn't had any tea yet).

It's a gorgeous photo.
George looks like he is holding an imaginary glass and is saying cheers.

Happy birthday to Prince William!
The swing picture is a great photo.

The Clarence House picture to celebrate William's birthday taken by Kate at Sandringham last Christmas. Kate definitely has a talent for bringing out a relaxed atmosphere in photos

That’s a lovely photo!

They are lovely photos.
Kate is very good at bringing out the personality, character & emotion of people in her photos.
It's almost like the photos are alive & talking to you.
Kate is a very skilled & talented photographer.

That's a gorgeous photo.

Kensington royal have shared a picture of Kate and her dad for Father's Day to.

I always think if Charlotte as more of a Windsor in look but then when you see old pictures of Kate there are a lot of similarities

Isn't Louis the spit of Grandad Middleton?

Aww, lovely photos, especially the one of Charles & William, so natural. 🙂

An extra shot of William and the kids just released you can't see much but it looks like a fun photo shoot.

I agree Louis is a mini pa Middleton! George and Charlotte I go back and forth on 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good shot of Charlie & Wills. I don't think Charles got many childhood hugs, so it's nice to see him getting some now.

Really lovely photos! Kate definitely has a talent for it 🥰

I think that Charlotte looks like a cross between Lady Sarah Chatto and aunt Pippa
George looks mainly like Michael Middleton
Louis looks like a cross between uncle James when he was younger and Michael Middleton
All the children have the well defined Middleton eyebrows

Beautiful photo's and beautiful children! It somehow makes them more relatable and normal to see them all so happy and relaxed, goofing around. Real love and affection shines through in these pictures.

I think Charlotte has a resemblance (if my reckoning is correct) to her 1st cousin 4 times removed Grand Duchess Maria of Russia (who unfortunately along with her siblings & her parents who were Tsar Nicholas II & Tsarina Alexandra were killed by the Bolsheviks in 1918)

Charlotte & Maria are related through Princess Alice of the United Kingdom (Queen Victoria's daughter).
Princess Alice married Grand Duke Louis of Hesse & by Rhine.

This Princess Alice is/was Maria's maternal grandmother & is/was the paternal Great great great great Grandmother of Charlotte via Prince Phillip.
Also Prince Phillip's paternal Grandmother was the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia later Queen of Greece (Olga's paternal grandfather was Tsar vNicholas I)

I hope I haven't confused anyone too much!

Plus there's also a connection between Maria & Charlotte through our Queen Alexandra (HMQ's Great grandmother) & Tsarina Maria Feodorovna (her birth name was Dagmar but she changed it when she became Tsarina)

Alexandra & Dagmar (Maria Fed) were sisters & their father was Christian IX of Denmark
Dagmar (Maria Fed) is/was the paternal Grandmother of Maria.
Whilst Alexandra is/was the 4xGreat Grandmother of Charlotte through HMQ & the 3xGreat Grandmother of Lady Sarah Chatto through Princess Margaret.

So Charlotte gets her looks through both HMQ's Danish ancestry & Prince Philip's Danish/Russian ancestry.
Though I'm wondering if it's more the Danish side that Charlotte favours with her also looking like Lady Sarah.

Though I definitely see both Diana & Kate in Charlotte too.

Right if you get through all that then you deserve a &

Charlotte is the spitting image of her grandfather's first cousin Sarah Armstrong Jones.
Amazing to have such a likeness to a cousin. (twice removed ?)

Well genetics/DNA is an amazing thing.

Hope that doesn't sound sarky LadyE as I'm actually agreeing with you.
(That's the trouble with words. You can say or write exactly the same thing but get misconstrued)

I agree there is a strong likeness with Charlotte and lady Sarah Chattoo, I can also see a fair bit of Kate in there but after seeing this there is a fair bit of Spencer in there too.

George and Louie to me are more clearly on the Middleton side but Charlotte I think is more Spencer/Windsor at the moment anyway
