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

mother I thought the same about Charlene's hair in that photo, very Grace-esque

frugalkitty that took me a minute Grin

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 24/06/2020 22:55

Sophie is so pretty & I think she's really found her style over the last few years.

What lovely posts about hospice care Flowers Flowers Flowers

Did anyone watch the Monaco series? I've seen all 3 episodes now and Al comes over very canny and personable. Charlene seems very 'switched on' in public then seems to leg it back into the palace. I wonder if she is an introvert and detests being one show'. Wouldn't blame her.

She wore a green gown to the Red Cross ball last year and it looked beautifully fluid into motion.

I know very little about Charlene, (only what i've read on these threads tbh) but in the clip above it looks like she's trying hard not to look terrified. When you look closely none of her smiles seem genuine. She's doing her best but looks to be permanently battling the urge to bolt! I think it's exactly how i'd look if i had to walk out in front of a load of people and cameras!

I've had a look on wiki about the rumors to do with her trying to pull out of the wedding. Poor woman if it's true. She really doesn't look as if she enjoys this part of her role.

Albert looks a bit like his mum. He certainly hasn't got the x factor though. IMHO.

Charlene looked stunning on her wedding day. Hair, dress, the lot!

Well, it seems I am royal too. My daughter found the attached photo of Princess Margaret of Connacht bla bla in a magazine. FYI it looks just like me. We have a photo of me looking down at one of the babies and my face is identical to hers there. 😮

Hairydilemma · 25/06/2020 15:59

thisenglishlife I don’t know the answer to either of your mystery royals, but the first one looks like what would result if Kate did one of those ‘what would you look like as a man?’ apps Grin

AngelaScandal · 25/06/2020 16:04

I always sensed you were proper posh Banivani

thisenglishlife · 25/06/2020 16:05

You're right, it is Kate!
And the other one is Sophie!
I changed the genders.

I thought that the second chap, on the bike, might be Edward Windsor Lord Downpatrick, grandson of the Duke of Kent, because he's owner of a fashion company specialising in sports wear, so it would fit with the photos. But looking at Google, it isn't him.

Hairydilemma · 25/06/2020 16:12

Oh ha ha!! Brilliant - how clever - and I’m rubbish at faces too.

Didn’t spot Sophie - I have guessed she was some child of the Duke Of Gloucester or somesuch, probably called Hugo and running an organic farm in Wiltshire in between doing charity triathlons.

AdaColeman · 25/06/2020 16:15

Well, I thought about Sophie's brother for the bicycle chap, but couldn't find a photo of him, he's an undertaker in the family firm apparently, but no photos to be seen!

thisenglishlife · 25/06/2020 16:19

Some more I did:
May I introduce Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Harriet?
William looks like a female William
Meghan looks like Olympic gymnast Louis Smith
Harry looks a bit like Charlotte Tilbury
HM looks like a male HM with a tiny bit of young Andrew and David Bowie

Very clever and funny @thisenglishlife, I would have been away into the European royals next!

thisenglishlife · 25/06/2020 16:23

Who do you want? 😂

Hairydilemma · 25/06/2020 16:42

HM looks very much like a trendy version of a young Charles.

How about Leti and hubby? Or Fergie, I bet Fergie makes a cheery looking chap.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 25/06/2020 17:13

And there's me thinking it was some relation of Robbie Williams (Kate) & maybe a Norwegian relative of frugal's Hottie (Sophie) Grin

They all are quite pretty/handsome as the opposite sex.
William as a girl is like a young Princess Diana whilst Harry looks like the actress Amy Adams.

thisenglish can you do some more royals for us please especially CP Haakon of Norway & also Robbie Williams as I would like to see how right or completely wrong I am re Kate & Sophie.

AngelaScandal · 25/06/2020 17:19

Princess Harriet is stunning!
Meghan looks like a mix of Louis Smith and Conchita Wurst
Princess Wilhelmina like a young Diana

itswinetime · 25/06/2020 17:23

HM looks very much like a trendy version of a young Charles.

Agree I thought That. Kate looks like her dad I think. But Harry I would not have know that was him!

Hairydilemma · 25/06/2020 17:55

Conchita Wurst Grin. She also looks like a new hunky doctor joining the cast of a US daytime soap.

MotherofPearl · 25/06/2020 19:50

english Grin these images are very entertaining!
