That's interesting/weird, @CliffsofMohair!
Were they outwardly a regular family?

Outwardly very normal, the had a family member who was a very high profile sports star here so one side of the house was devoted to him and the other to Grace Kelly. But it was definitely fifth-cousin-twice removed kinda thing. Very much sparked my interest in Royal families. Well that and Hello magazine.

Ahhh BB was at the wedding!

Ah, thank you, Para. Beautiful pictures.
I'm hoping that Dior dress was for the evening reception!
Gorgeous all round. Plus I've found my new tiara ✔️

Wonder if that wedding will feature in Hello next week? The bride's mother is Dyke Henri of Luxembourg's sister so I assume Guillame and Stephanie etc attended.

@CliffsofMohair I'm intrigued now as to who the famous sports star is.

@LadyEloise1He’d have had reason to be in Italy in 1990 😉

LadyEloise1 · 05/09/2021 15:54

@CliffsofMohair That narrows it down Grin

The Dutch Royal family were at the Dutch Grand Prix today. Max (Queen not Verstappen) was in a cream dress with and orange pattern, very understated for her but looked lovely. Can't find any photos

KillingMeDeftly · 05/09/2021 17:18

There are photos on their Instagram. Looks like bootcuts are well and truly back. I had some cords like Ariana's in about 2004!

CPF and CPM at Flag Day celebrations. I think Mary looks exceptionally elegant here. The coat is Prada and the dress is Max Mara.

Great to see the Dutch RF out and about. I see they're all sporting something orange apart from Wax (unless you count his lanyard!).

Maireas · 05/09/2021 17:52

Thanks MoP and Deftly for the pics, I'm glad some royals are out and about (side eye to the Windsors).
Max in platforms and the daughter in cords!
I rather like Max's dress, I couldn't carry it off myself. Mary looks eternally elegant. A brief hiccup imo with the baggy trews, back to streamlined sophistication.

I'll join you in the side-eye @Maireas, the Cambridges haven't been seen since Wimbledon/Euro final, apart from a prerecorded chat with some Olympians! I don't think they even went to Balmoral this year, although with Andrew there who can blame them?

Maireas · 05/09/2021 18:06

I was thinking the same, Deftly, particularly when I saw the Spanish royal family welcome their Olympic team home. That would have been nice.

There is a pic of Stéphanie in the gallery. No baby Charles though.

Aaaaand down the google/tatler rabbit hole of European royalty weddings 🙈

It appears that puffy sleeves on wedding dresses are a thing again (and where are the tiaras)?

Those are great pictures, @Tinitiny, what a romantic wedding. I think someone upthread said that the groom looked as if he was about to go and fight Napoleon!
His family are descended from the illegitimate son of James II, hence the name.

Yes, I said that! He has a brother who got married a couple of years ago in the same uniform. They look very much alike.

CliffsofMohair · 06/09/2021 13:44

Very colourful guests!

Eaumyword · 06/09/2021 15:45

What stylish wedding pics! The guests look fabulous.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 06/09/2021 16:41

Wow some gorgeous clothes
I particularly like what the Duchess of Huescar (petrol blue) & what Alexandra Corsini (lilac/blue floral) wore.

The brides dress is gorgeous & I love the tiny flower detail on her train.

Gorgeous!
Now Tracy I think you were on holiday when we staked claim to various tiaras (upthread).
Which would be your tiara of choice?

Eaumyword · 06/09/2021 17:05

The correct answer to that question is:
b) All of them Grin
