Thanks royal style fans for the thread title!
We need banquets, some diplomatic visits and more weddings. Oh and more of gorgeous Charles (you know the one I mean!)

It doesn’t work for me either, Maireas

Meantime, here’s a lovely photo posted by the Norwegian and Swedish heirs, who are good friends and spent last weekend together on a Swedish island. I like the idea that they get on well, it must be nice having someone who totally gets your rather unusual life. And I’m pleased to see Mette-Marit looking so healthy.

That is a lovely picture, Serenster! How nice that they're friends. I'm glad to see MM looking healthy and happy, long may that continue.

It's lovely to see the 2 future queens cuddling each other too

Here's the Instagram link for the Russian wedding. Hope it works this time!

Thanks, Deftly
Bloody hell, the groom looks worried to death.

I think the Scandi royals are all quite closely related. Maybe second cousins? And probably third and fourth as well!

Love the photo of the Swedish and Norwegian royals; thanks for posting. Yes I do think it must be a relief for them to hang out with other people who relate to the particular stresses and strains of your life.

MrsRockAndRoll · 18/09/2021 19:58

Oooh I love the tiara from the Russian wedding. The church is stunning also

mathanxiety · 18/09/2021 20:01

@Maireas, Russian Orthodox weddings are very formal. The bride and groom don't stand grinning before the presider.

Prince Rostislav is not only behind the times, he has no claim to the title His Imperial Highness, thanks to his grandparents' morganatic marriage. He is a Romanov morganaut so the best he can shoot for is His Serene Highness.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 18/09/2021 20:03

A lovely family gathering & like KMD said cousins many times over.
Prince Rotislav is also related to Hottie & CPV & also to our HMQ.
Just been down a wormhole of Royal family trees.

Eaumyword · 18/09/2021 20:05

What fab photos!
Love that Swedish-Norwegian one, they all look so healthy and happy.
The Russian groom does look very focused and serious!

MotherofPearl · 18/09/2021 20:52

Leti's been out in her & other stories leather dress again. Hard to believe she's 49!

I quite like the look of this green spotty dress of Sophie’s but NMR doesn't have any full length photos, so it's hard to say.

Is Sophie posing with a bust of herself?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 18/09/2021 21:06

Love Leti's dress & the jacket the other lady is wearing

Is this Sophie's dress (see photo)

If it is I think it's a rewear of hers as it was worn in June

And that bust does look like Sophie Grin

MotherofPearl · 18/09/2021 21:39

Yes it's a bust of her, sculpted by Frances Segelman.

Ah that’s a lovely picture. There’s 4 future Queens in that picture 👑

Math between this and the obscure Irish names thread I’m convinced there is nothing you don’t know. You are a mine of information.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 18/09/2021 21:50

Morganaut that's so funny!

AdaColeman · 18/09/2021 21:53

So we get a chance to buy that Russian wedding tiara, as it’s going to be auctioned following the wedding, sadly it’s only silver with blue & white topazes, so I’m not over enthusiastic!

KillingMeDeftly · 18/09/2021 21:57

Oh I assumed aquamarines!

AdaColeman · 18/09/2021 22:13

It doesn’t look as much fun as their civil wedding in Rye some years ago!

Maireas · 18/09/2021 22:58

Leti's leather dress Hmm
The trouble with leather clothing is that it often looks like pleather ie cheap and uncomfortable.

Eaumyword · 18/09/2021 23:40

Oh I like Leti's leather dress, think it looks great. Helps she's so slim.
Sophie's green dotty dress is nice too.

Tinitiny · 19/09/2021 07:12

There’s a bit more on the Russian wedding in DM 🙈
The pageboy outfit looks like a recycle from Pippa M’s wedding, down to the colour?
