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!)

I'm not sure about the pattern on the dress, it's a bit large. I like the cut, though

It’s beautiful in the picture of her top half sitting down. I’m not a fan of the bottom half. It isn’t literal or anything but it seems indecent somehow!

Maireas · 16/10/2021 14:29

Why does it seem indecent?
It's a bit fussy for my taste (Felipe Varela, natch) but I quite like the shape.

Not a big fan of Leti's look there either. I agree that the top half is nice. The black on the bottom half looks weird.

AppleKatie · 16/10/2021 15:06

I think it’s the lighter pattern at the bottom with the black sort of pointing at her privates. Might just be me/the picture but it looks rude somehow to me!

Maybe I’m having a pearls day 😂

Maireas · 16/10/2021 15:30

Oh I see 😄!

I like Leti's dress a lot. It looks heavily beaded. I thought this photo of the two of them is quite heart-warming - they look like they're having a nice chat.

It is a lovely picture.

Not a fan of Leti's dress here but agree, that picture is lovely of them leaning into each other.

shrugshrug · 17/10/2021 09:13

It is a lovely photo of Leti and Felipe.
Does anyone else on this thread look at the photos and sometimes wonder if the couples are still happy together or if it's just a working relationship ?
They obviously started out as love matches unlike previous generations of royalty.
Max and Wax
Mary and Frederik
Victoria and Daniel
Kate and William
Mette Marit and Haakon
Carl Phillip and Sofia
Sophie and Edward
Jetsun Pema and Jigme Khesar
Anne and Tim
Obviously we know, after the event, if they weren't.

Eaumyword · 17/10/2021 09:30

Interesting comments, yes.
All I know is I'd die a happy woman if anyone looked at me the way Wax looks at Max.

Maireas · 17/10/2021 09:35

I was just going to say the same, Eaumyword. Wax is smitten.
All those men should be mighty grateful they have resilient women who have taken on demanding roles.
(except Tim, who is just grateful to have found someone else who loves lighthouses)

I thought the same about Fergie's pic @Eaumyword. She was actually very attractive as a young woman but unfortunately constantly compared to Diana by the media.
I told this several times over the years on these threads but I remember seeing a piece on TV once in which a photo editor for one of the newspapers talked about the process for picking which pictures to publish of Diana v Fergie. For Diana they picked the most attractive picture and if necessary would touch up the image to make it perfect whereas for Sarah they were looking for the least flattering so caught at an angle that gave a double chin, or mid laugh or slightly blinking. I remember being absolutely horrified that someone was not only doing that to a woman but was happy to admit it on national TV. Poor Sarah wasn't just constantly compared to Diana it was deliberately an unfair and skewed comparison.

MotherofPearl · 17/10/2021 11:48

I agree about Max and Wax. And I sense such a warmth and affection in that photo of Leti and Felipe.

I wouldn't say we could add Albert and Charlene to that list, especially lately.

KillingMeDeftly · 17/10/2021 11:55

@Runningupthecurtains I've also read that Diana used to tip off the photographers if she knew Fergie wasn't going to be somewhere in exchange for leaving her alone.

Albert and Shazza maybe 🤔
KillingMeDeftly · 17/10/2021 13:42

Princess Shaz has a certain ring to it...

justasking111 · 17/10/2021 14:02

Diana was no friend to Fergie.

DILs in general can be competitive

myrtleWilson · 17/10/2021 17:25

Kate in a re-wear I think as predicted and William in a polo neck with green jacket?

evilharpy · 17/10/2021 17:28

Love Kate's dress and hair. Stunning. Wills in a polo neck... Not so sure.

RockaLock · 17/10/2021 17:29

Yes- I think William is in green velvet!

https://twitter.com/coutureroyals/status/1449768703202152451?s=21

I'm glad that Kate is rewearing something really old, but I'm a bit disappointed that it isn't green too Grin

TokyoSushi · 17/10/2021 17:29

Kate looks absolutely beautiful, I adore the dress and the hair, William doesn't look great, bit of an odd look but at least he's trying something new!

KillingMeDeftly · 17/10/2021 17:36

That's a fairly old dress - I think it pre-dates George but her waist is as tiny as it was back then.

And William's decided to come as the Milk Tray Man!

Runningupthecurtains · 17/10/2021 17:36

Is Will of to a fancy dress party as a 1960's would be poet/art school lecturer straight after?
