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 ?

Oh, the reason I came on....it's a screenshot so not the best pic, but here's Kate on IG looking much better in an open neck top/dress/shirt.

I'd just come on here to say the same frugalkitty. I think that's a really good look for her - both the colour and style. Perfect for a Zoom meeting.

Shirts are definitely Zoom appropriate but... I don't know if this is orange or red, but it not the best shade on Kate and the black inner collar is unflattering (a very harsh colour near the face). The worst hair so far - flat and thin looking.

If it's red, it's Kate's fourth red look - I liked the other looks.

Funny, I like her hair. I mean, it's not stylish or glamourous but it looks like normal hair. And you know how quick I am to criticise her hair normally.

Anyone else planning major hair changes post lockdown? First I planned a few pink wide streaks. Now I'm planning to change style completely and cut it all off!

My hair is over 3 foot long, planning on a bob 😂

@thisenglishlife - aah, so it's not just me! [my hairdresser has refused to do it as says she's not confident. So I do need to find a new one. Which is annoying].

I'm not liking the over done eyebrows.
Please excuse me if they are totally natural.

Kate's natural eyebrows
vs
Her Vogue cover (her thickest ever eyebrow look - lots of product?)

I watched the BBC documentary on Monaco this morning on iPlayer, was surprised that Albert speaks English with an American accent, but not sure why I should be with an American mother, and he probably has spent time over there.

Not keen on the Kate pic, don't like the colour or her hair or her brows.
Undecided about her brows on the Vogue cover - although heavy, they don't look too bad imo.

In addition to having an American mother, Albert spent many summers in the US and went to university in the US. His sisters also speak English with an American accent, although Caroline's is a bit more mid-Atlantic.

Kate is definitely looking more relaxed these days. Is she using less makeup? I’m not sure. Less heavy on the eyes, I think.

Also, I hope the C5 programme is not a hatchet job.

I like Kate's red dress/shirt.

Here we have CPM opening a new museum. She looks poised and stylish as ever, and I always like a pleated skirt, but I don't like those pale blue shoes. I wish she'd rather picked out the dark red in the skirt, or wore tan shoes to match her handbag.

It looks like CPM has been to the hairdressers ( or rather the hairdresser has been to her ).
The blue shoes do pick up he blue in the skirt, but you're right MotherofPearl, red or taupe would have been better.

CPM's skirt is gorgeous.

I don't think has been posted yet but a new picture of HM and PP.

I am slightly mesmerised by the shadow patterns on her dress - can't explain it very well but to me they look like floating silhouette heads. Lockdown is getting to me I think.

Yes they look like cameos!
I can't believe he is 99.

HMQ looks lovely there, but I know what you mean about those shadows Romaine. They make my eyes go a bit funny if I look at them too much!

Yes I agree CPM looks like she's had her hair done. Doesn't look like there's much SD or face mask wearing happening in Denmark? I may be wrong about that.

Looks like Philip has been sitting in the sun. Good for him!

Beautiful photo of HMQ & PP.
Wow nearly 100 years on this planet, the things he's lived through & seen.
I'd love to spend a few hours just listening to his stories.

And his great Aunt was the Tsarina of Russia. Amazing.

It's a great picture.

I read a story attached to it on ITV and wanted to throw something at the screen. It was so patronising. Hard to explain but he was "brought to windsor" at the start of lockdown stood out.

“brought to Windsor” sounds against his wishes... I know this is a thread about clothes, but surely the Norfolk air would be better for him than somewhere that’s basically off the M25.

Back to clothes. Do we often see HMQ in a dress only? I’m too used to seeing her wearing a coat.

“brought to Windsor” sounds against his wishes...

I suspect that PP does very little 'against his wishes'. I'd love to go for a pint with him - I imagine him to be very entertaining company.

LittlePurpleFlower I think we do see the Queen without a coat when there are pictures of receptions, investitures and meetings but I thought it was more unusual to see her without her handbag!
