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 ?

The Queen’s (lack of) riding hat as long been an issue article from 2011 BBC

I can imagine her grumpily saying 'I've ridden without a hat for 94 years, I'll be damned if I'm starting now'.

It's only because we worry about you Ma'am!

Happy belated birthday to Frederick!

Max in orange - she visited the Dutch island of Texel on Thursday.

Prince Joachim of Belgium has corona virus after flying over 1000 miles to attend a party in Córdoba (breaking Spanish lockdown rules, as it was a gathering of over 15 people). He could face a fine of over £8000.

Is that Fred as a baby with his parents thisenglishlife?

Thanks for a new thread. I was a regular lurker on the previous ones. Looking forward to continuing to ogle the fashions.

Oh I'm so happy I've found you all! I was alarmed when the last ended and there was no chance to thank Queen or say goodbye. These threads have been brilliant over the years.

Of Kate's Zoom looks as posted by @thisenglishlife I like the striped jumper look the best - but then I'm a sucker for stripes.

Love the photos of the Bhutanese royals with the new baby. They are surely the most photogenic royals?

And lastly, CPF is ageing very well I think - fast becoming a rival for SFF?

I like nearly all of Kate's Zoom outfits with the exception of the red dress/white collar. I liked the yellow print when I thought it was a jumper rather than a dress.

I’ve lurked since the beginning and decided to join in at last!
Camilla looks lovely I think,she seems at her best when interacting with children, I bet she’s a fun Grandmother!
With regard to the Tatler article, I think it must have been so hurtful to Kate that she couldn’t help but respond.

Is that Fred as a baby with his parents thisenglishlife? Yes and there's a 1968 in the bottom corner (his birth year).

More baby Fred - with his grandmother, grandfather and his parents.

I think Fred is aging well as he has a boyish face.

I thought Kate's striped jumper was the best look too @MotherofPearl

Welcome QuietFlame

Since the lilacs are in bloom Ebba von Sydow put up a "royals wearing lilac-purple-violet" post, with some fun dresses I didn't remember ebbavonsydow.com/2020/06/01/syrenlila-kunglig-stilspaning/

I wonder when Beatrice will be able to re schedule her wedding, she must have felt particularly gutted as her original date was such glorious weather, such a shame for her. I’ve not been on these threads for ages, has there been any discussion on what type of wedding dress we think she will go for? and most importantly what tiara the Queen will loan her?

Reporting back! Was so hoping someone would be brave enough to start a new thread, sorry I missed the previous one justasking!

The Bhutanese pictures are gorgeous. Stunning! Helped by fine bone structure and amazing silks!

Love that pic of max on the beach too

Oh no that's a shame, I disappear for a little bit & find Queen has abdicated gone & didn't get to wish her well & say thank you.
I think it's great that the threads are continuing & frugal I imagine Hottie is finding lockdown a breeze in your airing cupboard

Delurking to say these threads are a wonderful tonic within all the madness and I'd dearly love to see them carry on.
and best wishes for queen

Tracy anything to relieve the lockdown boredom fat chance will all three kids home 24/7

Thank you for the new thread, I love lurking on them!

I think HM actually IS wearing a riding hat. If you zoom in closely there's a dark brown band below and separate to the scarf. I think she's just blinging it up!

Thank you for those "lilac" pictures banivani
I love Meghan's purple dress on her and CP Mary's magenta dress.

I'm a bit late but only just found you all would like to add to all the thanks to Queen For the previous threads and I hope they can continue.

these threads are a tonic to the general mood on MN these days.

I agree totally, that’s why I decided to join the thread, I rarely read any others now.
Re Beatrice, I was wondering what would happen about her wedding especially after the reports of the York’s further financial difficulties and the continuing Epstein horrors .

Those poor York girls - they have had so much to contend with from their parents. Despite my initial impression of Edo, I do hope that he is good to Beatrice.

Haha. I see max is as understated as ever, a standard outfit for a beach stroll. Where is her towel and suncream? At least she wont get sunburn being covered!

Those are great pictures Banivani thanks. Especially love Daniel's white trainers!

Oh I missed the new Bhutanese royal baby link there Bosco - such a beautiful family. Did I mention I went into a spiral looking at their traditional dress a few threads ago? Beautiful fabrics - I'm always a sucker for big swathes of fabric draped into clothes (see also: great kilts and saris).

paradyning 'Tis an edict of the land that people must wear white trainers*, and this extends, lo, verily it extendeth, even to the highest echelons of society. I'm wearing my own pair as we speak.

or runners as we say as Gaeilge*

** had to check spelling of gaeilge, embarrassing
