Royal Style: Make Do and Mend, or Go Big and Spend?.

New thread!
Thanks for the title, Deftly!

Is it actually?! Ooh, must have. It has those lovely side splits that look stylish, but are fabulous for hiding my ample bum.

Yes that's the one @MotherofPearl

That was for @Eaumyword

My DIL has that sweater. It is lovely

@KillingMeDeftly thank you. The Universe and also Santa clearly want me to have it 😉

Happy anniversary 30 years

Goodness, 30 years since Princess Anne's second wedding? I really like a simple suit for a second wedding.

Leti always looks amazing in red and this trouser suit, for a meeting in LA, is no exception, but the trousers are too long imo.

I see Max is really leaning into both the leather and multi-greens trends (are these trends more widely, or just amongst royals?). I'm afraid this particular look is more miss than hit for me. I always love seeing glimpses of the decor at Huis Ten Bosch though - it certainly seems to be a very vivid expression of Max's personality!

Leti always looks good in her red trouser suit, but I agree with you, @MotherofPearl , the trousers are too long and I find that trend annoying.
Max looks good, but leather wear is obviously having a moment in royal circles!
I can't believe Anne and Tim have been married for 30 years. Feels more recent.

Love Max boots. My

I like both Max's green leather and Leti's bold red outfits.

The Wales' Christmas card. There's no separating Kate from her skinnies! George really is grandad Mike 2.0, right down to the fall of his hair. Fortunately for him, Mike still has plenty of that!

Ah, that's a lovely card. So true about George, he's a proper Middleton! Those really are very skinny jeans, aren't they!
Sweet picture.

Lovely picture, if William wasn’t destined to be King he would make a very good catalogue model!

They all look a bit Next catalogue!

I know what you mean! But I like Kate's blouse a lot, and the shades of blue across their outfits work well together.

Nailed it!! Couldn't figure out what was annoying me about it! It's a bit staged and naf, like last year's one. Love Charles and Camilla's one!

It is a bit naff & staged @Gooseysgirl but it's also a lovely photo.

I do wish royal Christmas cards were actually Christmassy!

It’s nice to see the children in modern, casual clothing. Have they stopped with the old fashioned dress?

Is Kate's top from Baukjen?

They've always dressed like that.
It's the clothing for formal events that is traditional.

That's so true! 😂😂

If I was royal I'd go full on fantasy Christmas scene instead of nice day out in the summer/Next catalogue.

It's a gorgeous happy photo and they all look fab in tonal casuals. I really don't like Kate's skinnies - her outfit looks somehow prissy. She'd look fab in Hepburn-esque capri pants but with her sneakers to keep it modern.
