She's only 49? It's interesting that Maxima, CPM and Leti are about the same age..

Only 49 but has looked like this since 29 and will prob still look the same at 69!

Maireas · 22/07/2022 22:56

Yes I think she's one of these people of indeterminate age.

Well, Mathilde. Have you been watching Max? I actually quite like this, although I do think that the pink is a bit strong for her. I like that she's going out of her comfort zone, though and having some fun with fashion.

Mathilde has always had a sense of fun with her fashion - and she definitely enjoys working with Max! They had this great joint appearance several years now - I can just imagine Max ringing her up and saying “Tilly, I have this great plan…”😀

I stand corrected, @Serenster - I had always thought of her as a conservative dresser

KillingMeDeftly · 23/07/2022 15:36

And let's not forget Mathilde's pandemic commitment to matching her masks to her outfits!

Maireas · 23/07/2022 16:00

Ah, indeed. Pandemic goals.

49? I thought much older!

KillingMeDeftly · 23/07/2022 21:14

I think she's a fair bit younger than her husband, who must be early 60s now.

KillingMeDeftly · 23/07/2022 21:15

She also the first Queen of the Belgians who's actually Belgian!

@Serenster That's a great photo of Max and Mathilde.

Who'd have thought - The Style Sisters.

A few nice outfits from Anne here and a shirt dress from Camilla if you scroll through the pictures

Maireas · 25/07/2022 12:10

I'm not sure about Anne's hat in the first picture, she obviously had a moment of whimsy. I like the black and white outfit though, that's really nice. Cams always looks good in a shirtdress.

Some nice summery looks from the Spanish royals. I rather like the pink and orange.

Sofia is wearing flats and is still taller than her mum and sister in their heels!

Yes! She's nearly as tall as her dad!

They all look lovely, especially Leonor, nice look for a teenager. Don't like Sofia's shoes but I guess finding something suitable is tricky if she wants/needs to be in flats.

Maireas · 26/07/2022 13:16

I tried on a pair of shoes like Sofia's in John Lewis the other day. They're obviously a thing!

susiebluebell · 26/07/2022 15:29

All lovely, summery choices! And once again nobody is dressing like the wrong generation. They're just really good at this 😊

CliffsofMohair · 26/07/2022 22:15

I always wondered if HMQ had the final say in the wardrobes of the junior royals. Or do the junior royals live such a sheltered existence that it would be perfectly appropriate to be wearing clothes from bygone era

CliffsofMohair · 28/07/2022 08:06

Mini NMR round up.
Charlene visits a retirement home in a summery yellow dress.

Princess Stephanie and family host what has to be the most casual of summer galas in Monaco.

…and Leti takes the espadrilles out for a spin.

That dress is a bit disappointing on Leti - it doesn't seem to have much shape and seems a little dull. Normally I like her espadrilles with the ballet ribbons, but not in brown.
The Stephanies are looking nice and casual and I like Charlene's sunshine yellow. I'm glad that she's looking well and recovered.

OP posts:
KillingMeDeftly · 28/07/2022 08:16

Stephanie is looking well. She's had some rough times in her life but looks happy and relaxed these days. I remember her in the 80s - did she ever wear anything other than a high-cut swimsuit??

Maireas · 28/07/2022 08:18

Ah. The high cut swimsuit and the gelled hair.
I remember her launching her perfume on a chat show. The other guest was Bob Geldof. It was illuminating.

CliffsofMohair · 28/07/2022 08:29

Fun fact Leti’s dress previously worn by Leonor. Looks at own fifteen year old.
