Anyone else find it very strange that they give the information about her recuperating but not about what is wrong. Something odd about it all. I feel for her and she's in an impossible situation.

Maireas · 23/12/2021 21:48

Poor Charlene, that's a long and debilitating illness.

The press release doesn't say that she's recuperating in South Africa though?

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 23/12/2021 22:06

My apologies, I misread this tweet earlier.

It says Albert and the twins will visit her over the holidays.

They are probably still negotiating the terms

Photo from BP of HMQ making her Christmas video. I love her in red. But is it just me or has she lost a huge amount of weight? I know she's very old now and is more likely to be facing challenges with her health 🤷🏻‍♀️

She has lost weight, but I wouldn't say a huge amount. She looks good in that photo.

Choux · 24/12/2021 00:29

I think the Queen looks pretty well all things considered but make up, lighting and outfit colour can make a huge difference.

I feel awful for saying this but her bosom appears like a very low slung shelf. I have no idea what happens to your boobs when you are in your 90s but she looks to me in need of better undergarments.

It was a few days ago now but Princess Madeleine and her family received the Christmas trees for the Swedish Royal Palace. Love Her skirt - her outfit reminds me of one Kate wore a few years ago around Christmas time.

Was going to say but far more stylish. (Madeleine). The girls' outfits are beyond cute!

paradyning · 24/12/2021 02:42

That's a nice red outfit on HM. She has lost lots of weight recently. It's really obvious in all her breast darting on coats/dresses etc. This is another example IMO.

What a beautiful family photo of H&M. Is this the first sighting of Lilibet or have I missed previous photos?

I noticed that too. It looks like her bra doesn’t fit properly, but it’s the dress not fitting . I don’t understand why her dressmaker doesn’t tailor her clothes properly , or why she doesn’t get some new clothes!!

The photo of H and M is absolutely gorgeous. I am not fans of them as a couple at all, but this is a really heartwarming photo. The children look absolutely gorgeous. Archie’s hair is beautiful and it’s such a happy, loving photo.

Princess Madeleine's skirt is lovely. I like the bow detail.
The children look sweet and I wonder if they do her elder daughter's boots in adult sizes. They're just what I need for winter playground duties. 😁

No, Math, I think that's the first time we've seen her. Lovely picture.

I like HM in red, with the bright lipstick, and I think that's the Prince Albert brooch.
I'm really glad she's doing a Christmas Day message, at one point I wondered if she would. I agree that she does look smaller, though.

@latedecember1963
Skechers do Go Walk ArchFit boots similar to Madeleine's daughter's boots. Warm and comfy. Perfect for winter playground duty.

I beg to differ with other posters - I think Kate in the red tartan looks great. Younger than Madeleine's look.

latedecember1963 · 24/12/2021 09:03

Ooh, thank you, LadyEloise. I shall have a look on the QVC website when we have a lull in the Christmas festivities.

MotherofPearl · 24/12/2021 09:15

HM looks good in the red. I agree about better undergarments, though I imagine it may be a rather delicate topic to approach.

I agree with you Eloise about Kate's tartan skirt look - I really loved that outfit on her. Madeleine's skirt is a bit fussier imo.

paradyning · 24/12/2021 09:18

@MotherofPearl

Not Royal style I know, but I see Joan Didion has died. She was so very stylish, in a low key way. One of those people - like Jackie Kennedy - who had such a strong sense of style. Her look at was very pared back.

Sorry to derail but it's pretty quiet on the RSB front. Smile

I didn't know much about her til you posted this. Didn't realise that was her in the Celine ads with the huge shades.
MotherofPearl · 24/12/2021 09:24

Yes para, she was chosen as the face of Celine at the age of 80.

KillingMeDeftly · 24/12/2021 10:16

I'm not a fan of either tartan skirt but if I had to choose then I prefer Kate's as it's less fussy. Madeleine is as radiant as ever though. She and CPV really excel in tiara wearing!

paradyning · 24/12/2021 10:22

Random Madeleine tiara pic (this one is mine by the way)
