Totally agree about the black velvet on Meghan. The whole look was just perfection.

That Dutch diamond bandeau is absolutely stunning - and you should absolutely claim those stupendous matching earrings too @HonuOnMyKnees.

gluenotsoup · 13/01/2022 16:05

Argh, sorry but the Dutch diamond is MINE… 😂

gluenotsoup · 13/01/2022 16:05

I’ll let you borrow it though

paradyning · 13/01/2022 17:47

Ooft! Andrew is no longer HRH!

Maireas · 13/01/2022 17:50

@gluenotsoup

I like this too .
That is absolutely gorgeous.

I don't think we ever sorted out what happens if the tiara owner doesn't want to timeshare...
Pistols (or handbags) at dawn? Grin
Thank goodness there are still such rich pickings in tiaras and we can always count on Max!

Maireas · 13/01/2022 18:14

There are many unclaimed tiaras!
No-one needs to share unless they want to! We quite understand possessiveness when it comes to our favourite tiaras Wink

Ah, Maireas, I knew you would be here to sort us all out with the Spreadsheet of Splendour (I love it..)🙂👑

Ah @gluenotsoup I’m envious but appreciate your magnanimous offer to let me borrow it! I’ll need to consult the spreadsheet of splendour to see what’s unclaimed 😀

Oh and don’t get me started on earrings. That’s where I almost drool!

Wondering, if are enough tiaras for everyone to have one, how many pairs of earrings do you think we’d all get if we divvied them all up? Wink

[quote HonuOnMyKnees]I’ve name changed since I last posted on here, I mostly lurk and I lost you for ages! So glad to have found you again and for the sanctuary that these threads provide!

I never requested a tiara but if nobody has claimed the Dutch Diamond Bandeau I’d love to nab it please 🤞

My contribution in return is another Kate retrospective which I don’t think has been posted yet:

On a very difficult day today this thread has served as a balm.

How have I never spotted the likeness between Max and Marilyn from Home and Away before.

paradyning · 13/01/2022 21:03

Sorry you've had a shit day Mohair. And yes! The Marilyn look is strong!

gluenotsoup · 13/01/2022 21:20

It’s not that magnanimous- I said you could borrow not share… feeling selfish now 😂.
💐for mohair- hope tomorrow is better x

Eaumyword · 13/01/2022 21:39

@CliffsofMohair sorry your day was pants CakeFlowers

Maireas · 13/01/2022 22:42

Ooh, another retrospective! I'm enjoying these, thanks! Love the green sequinned dress.
Mohair - I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Wear your tiara!

I have a CPV retrospective over 2021, don't know if anyone has posted it - Swedish paper but sure you don't have to read. "12 times CPV dressed marvellously in 2021" is the headline.

GrouchyKiwi · 14/01/2022 19:01

Some really good looks for CPV there. I love the red velvet.

Eaumyword · 15/01/2022 08:18

CPV does look stylish.
I particularly like the red velvet gown, the cream trouser suit, the gunmetal grey dress and her charcoal knitwear.
I do think the Euro royals look super stylish and think Kate would look great in those outfits too! For example, Leti wore a fabulous leather dress and CPV looks great in leather here too - I also love that effortlessly stylish look of soft knitwear.

Maireas · 15/01/2022 08:30

Thank you, banivani, those are some good looks. I also like the velvet dress, and the white trouser suit is super chic.
I agree with pp about Kate having a look at CPV, Mary and Leti and borrowing some of the style ideas.
Not a coat dress in sight!

OP posts:
gluenotsoup · 15/01/2022 09:26

I like all of those, and agree with the previous comments too. My personal favourites there are the beautifully draped charcoal knitwear and the floral embroidered dress 😊

KillingMeDeftly · 15/01/2022 11:31

Some great ensembles on CPV there - she's really leaned into the l midi in the past year. Love the red velvet and sparkly gunmetal gowns!

Serenster · 15/01/2022 15:34

It’s the 50th anniversary of Queen Margrethe’s ascension to the throne this weekend. They had to cancel all the formal celebrations, but held a family dinner for her, with a family portrait taken. They all look lovely, though my main takeaway is how tall Prince Christian has got. With the bouffy hair he’s taller than Joachim!

Eaumyword · 15/01/2022 15:39

That's a beautiful green gown on the left but they all look great!

Maireas · 15/01/2022 15:44

@Eaumyword

I was going to say the same - I really like that dress.
