When is the next season being screened, Killing? I can't wait! I thought Dominic West was pretty convincing in the recent TV adaptation of The Pursuit of Love, so let's hope he makes a good job of PC.

KillingMeDeftly · 18/08/2021 08:16

@MotherofPearl I think not until the end of next year Sad

Princess Madeleine and family at the christening of baby Prince Julian.

Madeleine's husband looks like he went to the pub the night before and slept on the sofa after getting in at 5am!

KillingMeDeftly · 18/08/2021 09:51

She looks radiant, as always, and the children are very good-looking.

Your description of Madeleine's husband (Chris?) is perfect, KillingMeDeftly. 😂
It's interesting how some men can carry off the disheavilled edgy look and others just look uncared for. My DH definitely falls into the latter group!

Maireas · 18/08/2021 10:07

@KillingMeDeftly - so true!
Madeleine looks stunning, though. Cute children.

I agree re Madeleine ( and her husband ! ).
Great descriptionKillingMeDeftly
The children are gorgeous.
Is it the light that gives the effect of the eldest child having dark roots in her hair ? Surely it wouldn't be dyed ?

Eaumyword · 18/08/2021 10:31

Gorgeous children and Madeleine looks beautiful too. Think it's just the light on the little girl's hair.
Hubby does look a bit facially dishevelled but I'm really, really not a fan of beards.
Beards were a real lockdown low in our household (for a while, me until the beautician opened again and my DH who now sports a ginger and white monstrosity.)

Maireas · 18/08/2021 17:36

I feel your pain, Eaumyword.
My son is sporting a hipster look and it is not to my taste. Beards rarely enhance, imo.
The Swedish Royal family are all really attractive (maybe even that hubby if he scrubs up!)

Lovely photo @CliffsofMohair!
Kids are gorgeous, they always look so neat.
I quite like her dress too.

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 19/08/2021 13:07

I think that photo looks really strange, like it's been computerised.. As if they've all been separately superimposed. Maybe just the way I'm looking at it. Love the girl's hair!

Camilla is going to be on Gardeners’ World with Monty Don, tonight at 8pm on BBC Two. She wears on of the shirtwaister dresses that have been given the MN seal of approval.

RomainingCalm · 20/08/2021 10:36

Just seen some great photographs on the Royal Family Twitter feed celebrating World Photograph Day and showing HMQ behind the camera for a change. Thought you'd like them.

Lovely pics of HMQ. 👍

While the rest are all on holiday, CPM has been flying the flag for royal style. She's been out and about a lot lately!

Great photos.
I love CPM's style. The 2 blue dresses and the neutral pink dress are gorgeous.

Maireas · 20/08/2021 19:05

Those are great images, @RomainingCalm.
There must be quite an archive of photos and cine film.
Thanks for the CPM collection, @KillingMeDeftly! I was just lamenting the dearth of royal fashion at the moment. I'm not keen on the large trousers, particularly the pink ones. I like the blue dress, very Kate.
The last one in the very pale pink dress, is that her sister in law, Marie? They do look very similar.

OP posts:
KillingMeDeftly · 20/08/2021 19:20

Yes the last one was her twin SiL, included to see if anyone would notice the difference!!

Maireas · 20/08/2021 19:29

Aha! Do I win?! Grin

MotherofPearl · 20/08/2021 19:36

Thanks for the photos everyone.

I'm not keen on any of those looks from CPM I'm afraid. It's the high necks I dislike. I am actually not sure if they flatter anyone? Marie's pale pink dress is quite pretty.

I liked those b&w photos, and love HMQ's outfit in the first image: pleated skirt, fitted jacket and pearls!

Eaumyword · 20/08/2021 22:06

Sneaky! I didn't even notice Grin
I'd be rubbish choosing from a police line up though. Male or female? Erm, can't remember!
I also love that no nonsense HMQ look.

RomainingCalm · 20/08/2021 22:23

I love the red dress in the CPM but less keen on some of the other outfits - the pink trousers/white blouse need a good iron. Sorry.

I can definitely imagine Kate in the blue dresses - at a distance I would struggle to tell the difference between CPM and Kate, a lot of what they wear is interchangeable in my eyes.

StartupRepair · 20/08/2021 22:31

Marie's dress is lovely. Weird how similar they look.
