Royal Style - Leti loves a linear look, but Maxima's mantra is more!

[Maireas]

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

Sorry, I know some maybe unhappy with the DM link, but they have the most photos!

I think Sophie (and Edward) look good - that's a nice colour on her. Princess Alexandra looks as elegant as ever.
Lady Amelia Windsor... I have no words.
what is she wearing?

Good spot, Serenster - I didn't spot the back, that is odd.

Amelia looks like she was made to go, so she retaliated by sabotaging her outfit and refusing to brush her hair!
I actually love her leather jacket, just not over that skirt and not for a society wedding.

I like Anne's canary yellow blazer, it goes well with the green and yellow design of her dress, a last gasp try at a summer outfit! She would also stand out in any photos, a trick Her Maj is an old hand at.
Sophie, on the other hand, looks as though she is just popping out to Sainsburys for a loaf.

Is it just a coincidence that most of the bride's side are wearing shades of pink and a lot of the groom's are wearing blue?

Amelia's mother, the Countess of St Andrews looks good, I like the turquoise-ish dress with the pattern. Nice hat. She's not looking at her daughter . She could at least have done something with her hair.

(Amelia, not Sylvana)

Sophie's dress looks, in the Ascot photograph, to be made of crimplene.
Though the DM continually say Amelia Windsor is the "prettiest" Royal 🙄 I think Lady Helen Taylor and Lady Sarah Chatto are my favourite Royals.

Frederick Windsor has such a gaunt, consumptive look.

Yes, it's often said about Amelia that she's the most beautiful royal. She's certainly had lucrative modelling contracts (and clothes, note). I think that her sister is very pretty and I agree about Lady Helen and Sarah - both always look elegant as well.

Lady Helen Taylor looks so much like her mother.

I think they only say that because she's a Windsor! I don't think she's anything special to look at tbh.

Freddie Windsor still has the look of an 18th century consumptive but now that he's losing his hair there's a resemblance to Prince William.

He does look like he should be in a garrett with a bottle of absinthe.

If you stuck a big grey wig on him, he’d be the spit of one of the original Hanoverian Georges - he totally has their eyes!

I just realised he has a very similar look to Boris Johnson….it’s those Hanoverian eyes.

Otherwise lovely to see people dressed up again and out and about.

Is BoJo descended from the Hanoverians then?

Apparently so, as he was on ‘Who do you think you are’ and George II? was direct ancestor (though illegitimate line!)

Of course it would be the illegitimate line!!

David Cameron is a descendant of William IV (illegitimate line), so he's also a Hanover!

I see from NMR that Chas and Cams have been out and about in Ayrshire today. I suppose her suit is well fitted and I quite like those tan shoes she favours in the warmer months (shall we take bets on when the black suede boots come out?!). I do wish they'd all lay off the tartan-in-Scotland thing though; it's a bit tedious.

I see Kirsty Wark was seated next to Camilla, and I'd love to have listened in to their conversation. Two very interesting women, in their different ways.

Cams loves that suit, it's certainly had a lot of wear. I actually like the skirt, which would be nice with a chunky jumper.
Don't get me started on the Tartan North of The Border malarkey. Time they binned that off.

I get the feeling Charles totally loves wearing a kilt though - he has a big collection of them! William and Harry I don’t think have ever worn one (well, not since they were old enough to chose their own clothes, anyway ).

I think that the “prettiest royal” thing is just a version of the “stunning” or “sensational” comments made about absolutely any celebrity you care to name! It all contributes to filling up those column inches.

I think Charlie loves dressing up, the kilt outfit with all the little accessories like the furry purse, his immaculate suits complete with silk pocket fop, not to mention his many military uniforms.
I wonder what his coronation will be like, will he design his own robes, will he have a troupe of retainers kitted out, ent-like, as his favourite trees, will he go historical and dress like Henry VIII? Endless possibilities!
