Royal Style - has Kate ditched the skinnies?

[Maireas]

Hello lovely Royal style fans. Keep the pics, observations and witticisms coming.....

Incidentally, if you're after a bit of escapism and fabulous clothes, then I highly recommend the Dynasty reboot on Netflix!

This is a rather glam photo of the Bidens...

😜😂😂😂 very glam!

I'm on it 👍

Ah @KillingMeDeftly thank you! I have had a nagging feeling that Dr B reminds me of someone but I couldn't place who, and now you've solved it!

I like the colour of Rania's dress but the style is a little fussy.

I see Chas and Cams have been visiting the Isles of Scilly. I like her sun parasol! I've read that she really dislikes the heat so I reckon she's struggling at the moment. I'm struggling; it's roasting!

Loving Cam's dress there. She suits a belted cotton shirt dress.

That's a really nice look for Camilla - the belted shirtdress is a very flattering style (note to self). Also, she suits the deeper colour - normally she goes for pastels.

Camilla looks great. She’s even got the shoes right (thank goodness she hasn’t gone down the white-shoes-for-summer route like several of the others). I expect it’s rather hot to be wearing a shirt dress though. I think of mine as being more suited to spring or autumn.

Ahem Mother of Pearl.
Please see my post at 18.36 yesterday and KillingMeDeftly's at 19.17.

The belted shirt dress is a much better look on Camilla than the housecoat style she so often goes for and the print is nice too.

I've heard she struggles with the heat too but I'm sure they're staying somewhere luxurious with aircon!

I follow the royal photographer Chris Jackson on IG and he's posted lots of images of the Scilly Isles. Looks lovely there but I've never been.

Oh @LadyEloise I'm very sorry! I read in haste.

Yes I agree that the belted shirt dress style is a million times more flattering on Camilla.

That’s a lovely dress on Camilla lovey colour and it suits her really well.

There's a feature on hello magazine that just popped up on my Facebook feed of fabulous royal sitting rooms that's worth a look

For example

I think I've seen photos of Maxima's office before and it's very her!

No problem MotherofPearl.
I'd love to visit the Isles of Scilly too.

Gosh, that sitting room is very Alice in Wonderland!

At least it isn't orange!

I never work out how they live in these rooms.

I mean is it them on the sofa and subordinates on the high backed chairs or the other way around 🤔 it’s just not relaxing.

More Rania in the US. The pink skirt is again very Letizia. Or is Letizia very Rania?

Indeed, @KillingMeDeftly!
I like both outfits, a skirt with a blouse often looks slightly less formal than a dress. I love the green blouse.

So do I @Maireas. Not sure who the designer is but the pink skirt is Valentino and the white blouse Chloe so it's certainly not going to be Zara!

True! Beyond my price range, that's for sure!

I like Rania's pink skirt and cream blouse, but I'm less keen on the other outfit. To me the green blouse is a bit big, and I'm not a fan of paper-bag waists. I have a tweedy winter skirt with a paper-bag waist which I never wear. I bought it because I loved the fabric, but keep meaning to take it to a dressmaker to see if the waist can be altered.

I think paper bag waists are only flattering if you have quite a low waist (as well as a small one!). I tried one on and the top of it reached the bottom of my bra!

I prefer the green blouse look - something about the pink skirt I'm not keen on. Maybe a touch too short?
