Royal Style: keep the Erdem, but bring on the tiaras!

[Maireas]

A shiny new thread, Royal Style fans!
Keep the wit and wisdom coming!

I'm sure none of us are sure but it is a plausible explanation, at least.

(Imagine QC or K lurking on this thread and itching to yell 'I know why, I know why!!' or 'nooooo you're totally wrong about X Y or Z!')

If it were me I'd actually have to ban myself from reading as I wouldn't be able to resist.

Other Sofia, Daniel and some plain bloke at a do.
Love this tux/trouser suit combo

Gabriella's outfit. And what is interesting is that the clutch designer turned up in my wiki deep dive of the Hapsburgs. I'll never be able to find her again but sure she is a niece of Frederica.

Feel like I'm spamming now.

But Sophie Hapsburg is maternal granddaughter of Princess Marina's sister (Princess Elizabeth of Greece & Denmark).

So an interesting bag choice!

(More spam sorry)
Charlie was with the president of Cyprus today

Gabriella looks a lot like Princess Alexandra to me.

Checking in 👑

Thanks for the new thread @Maireas

Gabriella is the image of Alexandra & both are the image of Marina.

Thanks for the new thread @Maireas. Just catching up on posts and photos after a very long day at work.

Checking in - hi everyone and thanks @Maireas for the new thread.

I was once in a lift at Claridges with King Constantine.

You ever wonder if Sofia and Daniel ever wake up in the morning thinking ‘can’t believe these are our lives?’

Surprising the BRF didn’t send someone more high profile, especially given Philip was born a Prince of Greece.

have to say I didn’t love Max’s boots and coat. Mantilla needed longer coat.

I consider Anne high profile, but I agree that either Charles or William should have been there. I do wonder why they didn't come.

I think it’ll be for the same reason that the Queen didn’t used to attend funerals - if they attend one then they have to commit to attending them all otherwise at some point someone gets “snubbed” by their non-attendance.

It does seem peculiar to the British royals, but it’s the same with weddings. No matter who is available on a day it’s always the Wessexes who go.

Charles went to the coronation/enthronements when he was the heir and that, I assume, will now fall to William and Kate as monarchs don’t go to other coronations.

Charles may choose to follow the late Queen's practice of not attending funerals of foreign royals, I suppose, but that doesn't account for why William didn't attend. It just seems odd to me because I thought that Charles and Constantine were close friends, as well as cousins.

Morning all, thank you for the new thread 😊

Very bad form for William not to go, unless there is a very good reason. Gabriella looked fab!

More pics from Sofia last night I really love this.
Kate would really suit this look too imo

That's a good look and one I could see Meghan wearing.

She looks great, what a lovely outfit.

Oh that is gorgeous, she is so naturally pretty with a gorgeous smile.

Gabriella looked fab!
I agree, quite elegant in the way of her aunt Alexandra and grandmother Marina.

I watched the entire funeral on YouTube last night, including Pavlos greeting people as they arrive. Lots more hugging than in the British RF.

@Maireas I am shocked. 😮😉
That's so not like you to be bold !
