Evening Royal style and beauty fans.
Into the Carolean era, with more bling we hope! Also more state banquets?

I prefer Elisabeth's deep red heels, even if she is matching them to her clutch.

Well at least she won't get lost in a crowd! 😁

Just saw this pic on a blog of the Swedish royal siblings at a wedding in the 00s (I think CPF and EBG) and oh dear Lord, look at Madeleine's tan!!

Goodness she’s been tangoed!

Maireas · 01/10/2022 21:39

Goodness, that's a deep tan!
Always nice to see the tiaras, and I rather like the lemon dress.

I actually love Madeleine's pink dress there. She's waving like she's a finalist at Miss World '77 (with the tan to match!)

Serenster · 02/10/2022 07:39

Madeleine’s definitely been happy to experiment with looks - super curly hair, very blond when she was with her first fiancé, very stripey highlights when Victoria was married….

KC, WC and the Wales’ in a portrait taken the night before the Queen’s funeral.

Madeleine’s tan. Definitely a ten Mississippi moment there

Exactly😂😂
Stripey highlights were fashionable once (I haven’t googled what year that was taken) and I may or may not have had some exactly like that…🥴
Lovely photo of C,C, K and W.

Maireas · 02/10/2022 09:21

That's a very nice portrait of the King and Queen with the P&P of Wales.
They manage to look quite relaxed and positive at what must have been such an exhausting and stressful time.
Madeline is so pretty - I think many of us went for those stripey highlights a few years back? 😊

Madeleine's tan and highlights are definitely very 00s.

Quite sweet seeing Charles and Cams with their arms around one another, it’s an unusual pose for their pics.

Don't tell my mother - the King has his hand in his pocket, she would probably slap his hand (she does mine!).

That's one of his favourite poses if you look back over the years

I think the photo was chosen specifically to send the message, I’m King but I’m still Charles. And also to signify that Charles is looking to make the Monar

Serenster · 02/10/2022 13:51

That’s a lovely photo of them in Buckingham Palace - the lighting is beautiful.

NiqueNique · 02/10/2022 14:19

Oops...didn’t realise that had half posted! iPad ran out of battery

NiqueNique · 02/10/2022 14:25

to continue...that he wants to make the Monarchy a little less stuffy, which for some reason they always think is a very important message to send, and more relatable. I think it’s a highly significant photograph for other reasons too. Here is the true ‘Fab Four’ (trite made up media rubbish soundbite for sure, but it does have some relevance) and the heart of the Monarchy for years to come.

NiqueNique · 02/10/2022 14:28

Yes the lighting is gorgeous.

Here is a glimpse of the Queen Consort on her way to Church with the King today. Love the burgundy, love the feather, love the pearls.

Love that outfit. A hat with a feather!

I really like that look on Camilla.

NiqueNique · 02/10/2022 15:16

Yes it suits her very well. It also suits Kate. Country chic.

NiqueNique · 02/10/2022 15:18

Should call it something else really...So that we don’t start thinking country music and stetsons 😆😆

SenecaFallsRedux · 02/10/2022 15:22

Scottish country chic, maybe?

NiqueNique · 02/10/2022 15:23

Nothing wrong with either, just to be clear! I’m old enough to remember JR in his crisp suit and Stetson. A great, sharp look!

But wouldn’t look as good on Camilla or Kate, I don’t think. 😉

KillingMeDeftly · 02/10/2022 15:57

Are Charles and Camilla in Scotland?
