(And he looks so young!)

Lovely dress.

That must be an early one...Letizia’s face is completely different!

The wedding of Frederick and Mary in Copenhague.
Her “original” face. Although se had already had a nose + chin job by then.

Felipe looks so fresh-faced! I think I prefer him in silver fox mode though.

Pre nose job for 'breathing difficulty' purposes. And pre implant removal too by the looks of it!

TangledWebOfDeception · 02/02/2023 21:39

@KillingMeDeftly Oh yes I much prefer a silver fox too!

What I love seeing is how Amalia is channeling her mother's style. This look, for example, is pure Max! I also love her dark manicure.

Amalia’s bag is lush

Some new photos of Kate have been released to tie in with a video she’s made with Roman Kemp about metal health. I like her casual look but she’s looking a bit ‘done’ here and her eyebrows are too harsh.

Kate is getting a touch of the Kylie eyebrows in that picture, one higher than the other.

themessygarden · 03/02/2023 07:10

I am beginning to wonder if that eyebrow might not be caused by botox after all, because it seems to be like that all the time.

If it is caused by botox the Dr. would only allow it to happen once, and would make sure he adjusted the dose, injection site for subsequent treatments. Maybe it is the other eye which is the problem with a condition such as ptosis or something else.

While she tries to hide it with her hair, it is really pronounced and obvious, once you notice it, you can't unsee it.

Maireas · 03/02/2023 07:31

She looks really pretty there, she looks good in the casual clothes. I don't like thick shaped eyebrows, but that's a personal opinion. Her hair is always lovely!

She looks lovely. I think that's just a photoshopped pic, no, rather than a particular eyebrow issue? Interesting maireas that you don't like the thicker look. Mine were thick, when everyone plucked but I would have to get them done now if I wanted that look. Too much hassle!

KillingMeDeftly · 03/02/2023 08:29

It's very photoshopped but I have noticed recently that she's got a touch of what I call the Melania eyes. It was very noticeable on the Boston trip where she wore the lime green dress but that might've just been heavier eye makeup than usual.

Gooseysgirl · 03/02/2023 09:13

@Maireas I think I have finally chosen my that's (if it's not already taken)... the Swedish Modern Fringe please!

TangledWebOfDeception · 03/02/2023 09:14

Oh @Gooseysgirl that's pretty!!

@Maireas there're a few requests above waiting for your attention (mostly by me Grin Blush ).

Spudlet · 03/02/2023 12:29

It’s very pretty in a Frozen sort of way, and I mean that very positively. I love the snowflake / ice crystal reminiscent look of it. Really delicate and pretty.

Alas 'Tis mine.
You can borrow it when I'm not wearing it

Oh now if we're doing dresses can I bag Kate's green off the shoulder dress from the Jamaica visit please?

This one

Are either of these gone? Brabant Laurel Wreath as seen on Matilde or Queen Margherita of Italy's Diamond Wreath.

Ooh, I’m sorry @JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon, I bagged it a bit upthread to wear with my emerald tiara… I’ve shortened it now 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dammit! It would be the perfect length for me unaltered too 😭

(It would need letting out by about 2m though)

Back to the drawing board......

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 03/02/2023 15:16

I know what I can wear for the coronation! I'll have Lady Mary Curzon's Peacock Dress!!!!!!!

It would be perfect with the Delhi Durbar Tiara since it was created for her to wear to the Delhi Durbar ball while her husband was viceroy.

There might be some cultural sensitivities but sparkles and jewels

Every time I go to Kedleston Hall I spend ages gazing lovingly at it and the portrait of her wearing it, so beautiful, photos don't do it justice but here's one of it and the portrait

I love it there, my DH has a family member who worked there before it was taken over by the NT so it is special to him. I just think it is beautiful, I love visiting and I love seeing the dress!

It must have been so breathtaking when it was new and sparkling in the light.

Both free, my friend
