I remember having a corduroy pinafore in the early 80s but in my defence I was only a child!

I like the blue dress on Sophie! It’s a lovely shape and colour, and her hair looks goud too.

LadyEloise1 · 04/02/2023 12:54

It would be beautiful in velvet.

Love this dress on Max - she looks fantastic. Amalia's dress is a great colour but just looks to have so much floaty fabric that it swamps her.

Have enjoyed seeing the pictures from their tour though - they look as though they have had a fun time together.

I think it’s always hard for Royals of Amalia’s age to get it right. They need to look appropriate but age appropriate. I think she has an added dimension of not being shaped like other princesses but overall I think she usually looks lovely.

That caftan is very Margaret in Mustique.

Sophie looks fabulous in that lovely long dark blue dress. Super swishy hair too.

Littlewhitedaisy · 04/02/2023 15:43

Love Max’s dress😍
I like the colour of Amalia’s, but agree it’s a bit too much fabric. She may well have suited Max’s actually, it’s gorgeous

Although I like Sophie in that deep sapphire blue shade, I think the dress swamps her a bit, and would be better slightly shorter. I can see the effect the designer is trying to create with the deep gathered frill, but I don't think it works well on Sophie.
I think she should wear more of the deeper colours, rather than the pale shades she seems to favour that often make her look quite washed out. The more vibrant colours give her a more vivacious aura.
Her hair looks a bit different there too, maybe some brighter highlights, very pretty.

The only thing I like about Sophie's dress is the colour, similar deep blue to Camilla's dress last week.

It's our favourite birthday girl's birthday today! Here she is looking very businesslike in green with glasses that give her a Tina Fey vibe.

Not The Eternal Birthday Girl! How long will this year's last?!
I'm not keen on the dress, a bit Roland Mouret for my taste.

What. It’s her birthday again?! I’m sure the last one hasn’t ended yet 😂

@Spudlet 😂😂😂

I like Mary's dress but I'd prefer it on the knee or just above if I was wearing it.
Kate would like this dress if she hasn't already got it.

Talking of our Kate she's just tweeted a photo of herself as a baby with her Dad.

I have the same photo well I mean my baby DD with my Dad not Kate!

Louis looks so like his mother.

KillingMeDeftly · 04/02/2023 20:34

Yes, the resemblance is very noticeable in that photo isn't it?

Littlewhitedaisy · 05/02/2023 09:23

I like the colour of Mary’s green dress, but agree the length is a bit wrong, just on the knee would look good I think. That length is difficult to wear in my opinion, it makes me look frumpy.
In other doppelgänger pics… is this Charlotte, or Sarah Chatto?? The resemblance is uncanny..

gluenotsoup · 05/02/2023 09:24

Oops - it’s me …

Maireas · 05/02/2023 09:35

Young Sarah Chatto.
It's a strong resemblance!

Littlewhitedaisy · 05/02/2023 09:59

It really is! I thought Charlotte definitely, but then the article said Sarah, and they really are alike.

KillingMeDeftly · 05/02/2023 10:06

Sarah really looks like Margaret in later life now but when she was younger she certainly didn't resemble the young Margaret. Genetics is a funny old thing...

Birthday Time!!

gluenotsoup · 05/02/2023 12:23

Nice top! I’d wear that 🙂

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/02/2023 12:26

Me too! I like the look, not too ostentatious, just a nice, normal portrait.
