Nice photo!

MotherofPearl · 16/12/2021 19:58

That is a nice photo. Both girls have such lovely hair.

Good lord Laetizia must put the hours in at the gym 😯

Felipe & Leti always have a very nice Christmas card group, with quite a traditional look. Lovely!

KillingMeDeftly · 17/12/2021 09:05

That's a lovely card. I used to think the girls looked like twins but it's just because they're both so blonde and the same height. They have very different features - Leonor is like Letizia and Sofia takes after Felipe's side of the family. Felipe has an aunt who she very much resembles,

Maireas · 17/12/2021 14:14

They are quite different in appearance, aren't they? It really shows now. I think there's only about 15 months between them, but the younger one is taller.

His mother Sofia’s younger sister Irene. They are the spit of each other!

Oh my goodness! That's a strong resemblance!

RSB friends 👑
I give you… the alternative Wills n Kate Christmas card created lovingly by someone on Instagram with a little too much time on their hands…

Crumbs - the heads do look a little disconnected from the bodies there!Grin

LadyEloise1 · 17/12/2021 15:25

Oh my @Serenster what a resemblance!

KillingMeDeftly · 17/12/2021 16:07

That card looks like William has ditched Kate for CPM of Denmark!

RomainingCalm · 17/12/2021 23:57

That card is hilarious.

but Kate is rocking the tartan trousers and should try them out in real life

MotherofPearl · 18/12/2021 08:18

Kate in a promo photo for ITV's Royal Carols: Together at Christmas. It's definitely one from the literal dressing play book, but I quite like it!

Don't like the ringlets at all. Love the red.

LookslovelyinSpringtime · 18/12/2021 08:38

I think she looks better with shorter hair and don’t like the ringlets either.

chesterelly1 · 18/12/2021 08:46

The pattern on the cardi looks like tiny SRU thistles. No doubt we'll see it again next time she ventures this side of the border. And I agree with Romaining, she should try tartan trousers irl

KillingMeDeftly · 18/12/2021 08:55

I thought those were tiny Santas on her cardie! She has lovely hair but the shoulder-length cut and deep chocolate colour she had a few years ago (I think debuted at Wimbledon?) is my favourite style on her.

Maireas · 18/12/2021 09:10

I agree, @Deftly. Ringlets rarely look good on anyone.
The shorter shoulder length, and the warmer chocolate shade looked more stylish on Kate.

MotherofPearl · 18/12/2021 09:15

Totally agree about the hair.

Eaumyword · 18/12/2021 09:19

She to me is beautiful and the red colour suits her, but I think the style of the cardi and the ringlets is quite ageing and unflattering.
The Euro royals usually manage to look stylish without being frumpy - Kate would look great in most of what Leti wears for example.

KillingMeDeftly · 18/12/2021 11:07

This is the cut I liked. I thought it looked fresh and modern.

That darker, shorter hair is much nicer. The softer, rounded big curls look much less fussy.

Maireas · 18/12/2021 11:47

Much more chic, Deftly.
The one on the left in particular. More modern and stylish as a look.

Those pictures are lovely and the colour/style are gorgeous and yes, fresher and more modern.

I've personally gone from straightened hair to letting it have a bit of a swish (roaming free!) and feel it looks better for it.
