More wonderful witticisms, observations and pictures !

I'll forgive you @Eaumyword as a) you were freezing & needed a distraction

b) you've left the Rituals alone

Sophie's brooch (I've done my magic) if I am correct seems to be 2 brooches worn together (see photos)

The top brooch is Sophie's diamond flower brooch but I don't know the origin of that one.
The bottom brooch is to represent her role as Royal Colonel of the 5th Battalion The Rifles.
The silver Bugle Horn is used as the cap badge of The Rifles and is worn by every Rifleman today even the honorary ones such as Sophie & Camilla.

Well I think the top brooch in the 1st photo is the same as the one in the 2nd photo.

What can I say, @TracyBeakerSoYeah...
What great research, thank you!
Genius
I still speak of the Laura Ashley dress result!

Thanks Maireas do you still have the dress?

It's funny how your undergarments can let you down when wearing beautiful gowns, the droopy boob effect is not something you see on yourself but needs a dresser to pick up on

True @justasking111
Maybe you should offer your services!

Gawd no, I've tried spanx and all the other types of smoothing garments just can't bear them especially if I eat then I get indigestion.

Didn't Diana wear dresses that had scaffolding built-in?

I think the issue was with the design of the dress rather than Sophie. That blousey effect can look unflattering on even the perkiest of bosoms!

No, I don't have the dress. (Not that I'd actually get into it now )
I think Diana did go for the built-in support, it creates a nice line.

A few more events from the Spanish visit to Sweden.

A lunch in Stockholm - I'm not sure that pink coat suits Leti. I know it's meant to be oversized but she looks like a little girl playing dress up in her mothers clothes! CPV looks smart in her tweed dress and apparently Sofia's longline blazer and flares are very on trend. I got Tiger of Sweden confused with Tiger of Denmark for a moment there and wondered when they started doing clothes!

A reception at the Spanish embassy - I think I've seen the grey dress on Letizia before? CPV looks fantastic! The slight variant to her chignon really suits her, as does the off the shoulder top and printed skirt. Not sure about Sofia's dress but she looks nice.

And of course Carl Phillip, yes please!

Thank you for the photos. I love both of Victoria's outfits. The off the shoulder top really suits her.
I have a soft spot for tweed- like suits. Does anyone remember Kaliko? I have a pink tweed-style suit of theirs which I loved wearing. It's still in my wardrobe because I've never quite been able to let it go when I've done clothes culls.

There is just something "queenly" about CPV isn't there? She's very statuesque and looks better now than she did 10 years ago.

There is something “Queenly” I agree! I think she always just looks very relaxed and comfortable in her own skin, and with her position, which creates good presence. She has good posture too which always helps.
I love the Bardot top and printed skirt! I would wear that, very much my thing. If I had somewhere to wear it that is, it’s not quite right for the school run and hoovering is it?
Not so keen on Letis pink coat, it does look too big, and it has my pet hate, which Meghan was always guilty of too, with a little bit of the hem of the dress poking out at the bottom. It always looks a bit scruffy I think.
I do like both of the dresses though, they’re very Leti.
Not too sure about the brown dress, it’s a bit too ruched for me, but the caramel accessories are lovely.

Anyone else think Leti looks different?
I can't put my finger on what it is.

Nice pictures, thanks Deftly. I agree about CPV, I think the top and skirt look stylish and elegant, and Leti's dress is a good shape and colour. I wonder if she's more heavily made up? She does look a bit different.

She does, maybe another tweak to her nose?

Hello again! I used to follow these threads in the early days but got out of the way of it, but I’ve found you all again! Definitely more of a lurker than a contributor but it’s so nice to see some more lightweight positivity about the royals

Hi @JudgeRindersMinder!
I must be alone in absolutely LOVING Leti's pink coat. Yes it is a little oversized, but I so want that coat and it would probs fit me just fine!

@LadyEloise1

I was just thinking that. Fresh Botox maybe?

That pink coat is a no from me. Neither the colour nor cut suit her.

CPV and Daniel visit Skane University Hospital. Love CPV’s outfit and when I lose the baby/lockdown Stone and a half I may repliKate it

CPV's sweater is from &Other Stories and I'm annoyed I didn't treat myself to it yesterday when they were doing a Black Friday discount!

I like that outfit, do like a long leather A line skirt, but what's with the big puffy sleeves? The 80's called and want their shoulder pads back!

I really like the skirt, but bare arms in November? Scandis are tough.
Are shoulder bags back?

I find myself lusting after the Alexandria shoulder bag from Meghan favourite Demellier. 20% off is tempting but I don't really need any more handbags!
