I love those aquamarine clips of HMQ's. I agree she looked a bit frail. I'm not convinced that white is the best colour for Camilla, but she generally looks good so don't want to nitpick!

Baby Prince Charles is just so gorgeous! 😍
Gabriella and Jacques are cute too. I often think Gabriella looks more outgoing/confident than her brother, a bit like Charlotte seeming less reserved than George.
Of course masses of photos are taken at these events so it may be that photos are chosen to reflect characteristics the media want to promote.

Some nice pics in this article BBC News - Queen's Speech 2021: Pomp and pageantry pared back
www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-57070912 I agree white isn't really Camilla's thing but perhaps it's a nod to when the royal ladies traditionally wore white dresses

Max is in gold. With very bling sleeves.

How does she manage to rock a mad outfit and look genuinely beautiful every time?!

AppleKatie · 11/05/2021 19:37

I don’t know but it is impressive.

The young man behind her looks like he doesn’t know whether to bow or grab a bit of the gold though. 😂

KillingMeDeftly · 11/05/2021 20:02

That photo makes it look like Max is wearing half a dozen watches on each arm!

MotherofPearl · 11/05/2021 20:18

Those golden sleeves are quite something!

MotherofPearl · 11/05/2021 20:23

I see she's also been busy taking the royal headband to the next level!

It does!

His Royal Squishiness! I love it! Those cheeks are just irresistible!

I like Stephanie's updo in those photos; very pretty.

I pronounce baby Prince Charles official thread baby. 👑 👶🏼
Maireas · 12/05/2021 17:37

Thanks for the pics style friends- Max looking good! I think she just goes for it and doesn't fret in front of the mirror! I rather like the gold sleeves.
Unusually for Max, no orange and not a lot of jewels!

Max and family out on the town. Mini Max remains unimpressed and poor ex-Queen Beatrix seems an afterthought!

MotherofPearl · 12/05/2021 19:46

Gosh, don't they all look so glam there! I've got so unused to seeing anyone in evening wear!

MotherofPearl · 12/05/2021 19:52

My evening round up from NMR:

Sophie visited Frimley Park hospital today. I like her outfit on the whole, especially the bag. I think this is the hospital where she gave birth to her children?

Leti in a red/orange outfit that I really don't like. I can't handle asymmetry! The green dress is a rewear I think, but I mainly posted the picture because of how amazing her hair looks. So swishy and smooth!

Hurrah for the fashion!
Max and co looking glam but the outfits are a rare miss for me as I almost always think she looks AMAZING! Perhaps, like me, they've forgotten how you do 'out out ' glamour!
Not keen on Leti's red trousers (slightly superhero vibes and might have completed the outfit with pants on outside her trousers in true Superman style) but love her green dress and beautifully swishy hair. Now she hasn't forgotten his to do 'out out' style!
Sophie looks elegant and utilitarian smart as ever. I do think she has a kind face.

Happy Birthday to Max for Monday - I wonder if King W buys her jewellery as a gift ?

I love the B&W stamp picture of her from 1999

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 12/05/2021 23:37

Loving all the photos.

I really like Leti's orange red asymmetric outfit. I used to wear similar back in the early noughties but not as bright.
I would definitely wear Leti's outfit now.
Fashion always seems to go in 20/30 yr cycles.

Changing subject here's an article about Queen Marie-Jose the last Queen of Italy. She sounds quite fabulous & a distant relation to HMQ through her paternal side & Queen Victoria.

I just Googled the stamp photos - and agree the b/w one is lovely.

Yes, Sophie had at least one of her children (her daughter Louise) at Frimley. It was an emergency admission and I think at least one of them almost died - the staff there saved her and the baby. She goes back there quite often and gets emotional sometimes. It's obviously a very important place for her. It makes me warm to her. I also think she always looks stylish, but in quite an 'achievable' way, if you see what I mean.
CliffsofMohair · 13/05/2021 07:49

I think Sophie has very much grown into her royal style. She looks far more stylish in her fifties than she did in her younger days. We should lobby for a better tiara for her .

LadyEloise · 13/05/2021 08:32

I love Sophie's hair longer. It really suits her.
In the early years of her relationship with Edward she had short hair and was often compared Sad unfavourably to Diana.

Oh my ! Leti's hair is swish in that photo.

Eaumyword · 13/05/2021 12:42

What I like about Sophie is she just seems to get on with it and my guess would be she wouldn't bother that much about size/importance of tiara etc!
Plus, she wins best royal residence of HMQ children with Bagshot (imho, although to be fair, I'd also have Gatcombe!) Grin
Agree that she really suits longer hair.

Maireas · 13/05/2021 19:10

Not keen on Leti's red outfit - she has a couple of red trouser suits which look great, though. However...her hair is just gorgeous! I wonder what treatment that is?
Sophie and Louise nearly died because of the ruptured placenta, and it must have been distressing to be separated when Louise was transferred to a special baby unit. A couple of years before, Sophie had been admitted with an ectopic pregnancy.

Kate in the Midlands yesterday.

Given that she's about 5'10 and wearing heels, just how long are those trousers??
