Wessex to Edinburgh: Dukedoms, designers and definitely bling - royal style and beauty

[Maireas]

Join the gang!
Waves to long term friends, happy to see newbies!

Princess Caroline and Charlotte doing casual chic in Monaco this week. Well I say casual but their blazers are probably Chanel! I guess the pregnancy rumours were false, or at least I hope that they were false and not the alternative.

Lovely casual chic from Charlotte and Caroline, but as you say, @KillingMeDeftly - probably Chanel!
Good combo, though.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Papergirl1968. 🌸

I also like the fact that Caroline is letting her hair go grey.

Yes, she looks great doesn't she @Maireas. And if she's gone down the tweakments route then they're very good and subtle. Tbh she was starting from a high point as she's always been stunning and Charlotte is more or less her double!

I have changed my name to reflect my recent tiara acquisition spree....👸🏻

😂😂 brilliant 👍!

I love Charlotte's cream jacket.

Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie have definitely not gone down the road of plastic surgery, botox or fillers, which is so refreshing in this day and age.

😂😂😂

If I was Kate my stress would be through the roof

I hope you start to feel better very shortly. 💐

Kindest wishes for a full and speedy recovery @Papergirl1968 .

Bea out and about at a Paddy’s Day parade it looks like . Also at a LV baby wear event so maybe stocking up for Eug’s new baby.

Mathilde and Princess Elisabeth still in Egypt.

@Papergirl1968 hope you're recovery goes well. This thread is such a nice place to be, the rabbit holes are endless.

I really wish royals wouldn't go the whole Out of Africa/Laurence of Arabia look when they visit that part of the world. Sometimes all they're missing is a pith helmet!

Thank you, everyone, for the good wishes. I'm doing great.
And thanks for welcoming me. I've been lurking for a while but being off sick has given me time to delurk.
Actually Mumsnet has kept me sane during post op insomnia!

I couldn't agree more. I'm sure it's not intended in this way but it always looks like colonial nostalgia.

Love the new name @notsuchafrugalkitty 😂♥️👑

You know, I was about to say the same thing. It really irritates me! At one point, every time he went south of La Rochelle, Charles put on that blooming safari suit. It's travelled the world, and not in a good way.

Your new name is certainly much more fitting @notsuchafrugalkitty!

Not just the royals either - remember Melania Trump in Egypt?! Why on earth don’t they just wear, you know, normal
clothes?

Yes @Spudlet! At one point she dressed like an Indiana Jones villain too 🤣

Queen Mary's Love Trophy Collar.
I'm going to say it looks uncomfortable to wear, but I'd give it a go.
That woman loved bling 👑

I think Mary's corsets must've been made of steel because how else could she support all the Jewell's pinned to her bodice??

jewels, DYAC.
