Minor but managed to produce a Queen of England, tsarina of Russia, king of Greece and king of Norway!

@LadyEloise1 it's so interesting isn't it?

Speaking of Danish/European Royalty and connections here is a photograph I came across the other day. Taken in Fredensborg, where one of my modest royal residences is situated.

@KillingMeDeftly Yes, one reason why they could marry so many princes and princesses off so successfully across Europe is because they weren't powerful enough to cause problems doing so.

(Just realised I said 2 silver lions! I obviously meant 3...I can usually count!)

TangledWebOfDeception · 29/01/2023 18:24

I think the lions will look brilliant prowling around my coffee table.

@mathanxiety I agree, I much prefer the more sedate dresses as I find the others just a little too flouncy. But they work well on Daisy, as most flamboyant things do.

I do really love the red sleeveless gown, though. And she looks so relaxed and happy in that photo!

And a few more examples:

The wife of James I and VI was Anne of Denmark; Queen Anne's husband was Prince George of Denmark, famous for Jeremiah Clarke's Prince of Denmark's March, popular for wedding processionals, including Diana's.

And then, of course, there is Prince Philip, who was born a prince of Denmark as well as of Greece.

Some great pictures from day 2 in the Caribbean. I think Max looks great in the white and Max looks like he’s having so much fun. I like the lemon of Amalia’s dress but it looks like she’s decided her was too low cut at the last minute and has put a pin in it (I’ve been there many times!). www.instagram.com/p/CoAv7x9o7DM/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Such a contrast to W&C trip last year that had a off colonial feel. M, W& A, look so engaged.

I'd love to have 10 % of Max's zing.

KillingMeDeftly · 29/01/2023 21:42

She's certainly enjoying herself dancing in this clip!

Max looks fab in white! She wears everything so well.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 29/01/2023 21:48

The Dutch royal family are my favourite as they seem so much fun & normal well as normal as a RF can be.

When Wax was doing his flying with KLM & taking Max & the girls on royal tours or overseas engagements, I can just imagine Max teasing him about his 'driving' 😆

TangledWebOfDeception · 29/01/2023 22:48

Diana’s gorgeous velvet gown from earlier in the thread sold for over £480,000, several times the higher estimate.

KillingMeDeftly · 30/01/2023 20:09

Max is in Aruba and remembered to pack the Pringle!

Kate is out again in a red trouser suit. I really wish she would wear proper jewels, she needs to be more Max!

Maireas · 30/01/2023 21:53

I couldn't agree more!
ps love Max in the latest Pringle!

The red suit is lovely on her, and I agree with jazzing it up with some bling.

I think she has had some really bad cheek fillers😞, I am hoping its just poorly applied blusher, but I suspect it's not.

Blondbombsite · 30/01/2023 22:05

Looking at this pic it looks like Kate has taken an earring out from the top of her ear. I can’t imagine her with one though. Maybe acupuncture?

Love the red suit. My first glimpse of the earrings I thought they were R2D2.

ChicoryDip · 30/01/2023 22:07

Kate looks fabulous in that red suit but yes, a stonking pair of ruby earrings would have finished it off nicely.

Is it a freckle?

The shoulder pads make it look McQueen again. It's an interesting cut face on. Really not into this monochrome theme atm

Possibly, I took the pic from the DM and it looks more red there.

justasking111 · 30/01/2023 22:38

Talking of shoulder pads. I'm sitting here watching the first episode of Howard's Way. Shoulder pads galore and oversized bling 😂

megletthesecond · 31/01/2023 07:13

themessy I agree. Her tweaks are becoming obvious. I hope she has a good team around her who can keep them as natural as possible and not too Hollywood. She's got decades in the public eye yet.

I can't unsee that now 😂😂😂

hopeishere · 31/01/2023 08:48

I like the suit but I hate the matchy-ness of it all. And Wills in a red tie is naff.
