With tiaras galore! Thanks for the title, @Eaumyword.
Looking for @TracyBeakerSoYeah for the link!

The Pringle hat is a Max staple @Maireas. I don't know whether the same one travels around with her or if she has several in rotation!

The whole business around Princess Delphine is bizarre - is she actually a full member of the royal family now or is it just that she was given a title?

CliffsofMohair · 08/08/2021 22:42

No full member apparently complete with duties etc!

Who in their right mind would seek that out for themselves.

Maireas · 08/08/2021 22:49

@KillingMeDeftly - I like to think she has several! I was pleased to see the obligatory orange dress. I do like her in purple, though.

That's what I thought too @CliffsofMohair! Plus her father isn't actually king anymore so it must be extra awkward for Philippe and Mathilde. It's all very weird. Her children have been given the titles of Prince and Princess too.

Maireas · 08/08/2021 23:20

That is a strange situation!

I treated myself to this and thought it was a little like Katie's yellow Wimbledon look but more wearable for Ordinary Joe me!

I love the colour of that yellow dress Hey. That Wimbledon dress of Kate's is certainly in her top 10 of day dresses imo.

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 09/08/2021 12:26

Me too. If nearly go top five! Hope the above suits!

Eaumyword · 09/08/2021 17:36

Love that yellow Wolf&Badger dress 👍
I thought Kate's yellow Wimbledom dress and Meghan's yellow sleeveless dress were both phenomenal.
Hmm. Yellow isn't a colour I usually wear. This is all changing my mind...!

RomainingCalm · 09/08/2021 18:46

Both of those yellow dresses were gorgeous. I wish Kate would wear more yellow, it suits her.

KillingMeDeftly · 09/08/2021 18:48

Both were a lovely change from the usual as you don't usually see yellow much these days. It was especially a change for Meghan as up until then she'd mainly been seen in black, navy or beige!

KillingMeDeftly · 09/08/2021 18:58

Charlene has launched a campaign to save the rhinos and never has her resemblance to Charlize Theron in Mad Max been stronger.

Maireas · 09/08/2021 19:05

@HeyGirlHeyBoy - that's a nice dress!
That Wimbledon one of Kate's is a favourite of mine. Plus I like her hair in that picture.
Interesting image of Charlene! It's good that she's involved in conservation, though.

MotherofPearl · 09/08/2021 19:31

I'd never noticed the Charlene/Charlize resemblance, but it's certainly there in that image Killing. I feel as if Charlene is really breaking away a bit from the royal image she might have felt was expected of her. Has she always had two piercings in each ear? And the undercut. Good for her, though I do wonder how it all goes down with the Grimaldis?

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 09/08/2021 19:42

Yes always thought she was similar to Charlize.
Thanks Maireas and yes Eau, I agree I'd never wear yellow but I'm hoping it will suit - colouring is similarish (maybe a little sallower) to Kate.

BeautifulTulips · 09/08/2021 20:04

Hope this works! These girls are gorgeous

That's nice, Tulips. They summer in Mallorca and always have really nice outfits.
I wear quite a lot of yellow, Hey I think it's really cheerful!

The young Spanish royals rarely get it wrong imho.

And HM has arrived in Balmoral for her holidays. Looking lovely in that shade of pink.

They have height and poise. And access to lovely brands and a decent stylist it would seem. Never a foot wrong. Youthful but appropriate to occasion.
Eaumyword · 09/08/2021 22:13

Completely agree, Romaining.
HMQ looks fabulous. What a lovely cheery shade of pink on her.

iamtopazmortmain · 09/08/2021 22:31

Have I left it too late to bag a tiara? If not can I please put my name on the Anglesey tiara? Not only is it stunning but it also has a great story to go with it.

HM looks good, I can't work out which brooch, though.

@iamtopazmortmain - Anglesey Tiara ✔️
What's the tiara story?

OP posts:
Maireas · 09/08/2021 22:38

That's actually a real beauty, never heard of it!

The Marquis of Anglesey had a fabulous life and managed to spend his way through the family fortune - but seems to have had lots of fun doing so!

The tiara was up for sale not so long ago - I don't know if it sold, and if so how much it cost.
