Royal Style and Beauty: St Edward's Crown is back in the box, time for more diamonds, glitter and frocks!

[Maireas]

Thanks for the wonderful Coronation thread everyone!
On we go.....

The dress is quite pretty but it's a bit 'M&S bra fitting' on the boobage area.

There are some great photos of the many child attendants- one little boy was wearing his basket as a hat; one little girl's flower crown had slipped down a long way. They look very sweet but I bet there will be Mortification. I think one needs older attendants to do child-wrangling.

But yes, a lovely delicate dress that suited her, subject to the boobage issue.

Max n Wax are in Wales for mini-Max's graduation.

Somewhat subdued for Maxima!

Now Catherine would have had a literal moment. Not a sniff of dragon, 🐲 , daffodils or leeks from Max. The weather is gorgeous here today so I hope she enjoyed her visit

Queen Letizia daughter graduation was today as well.

With Dad.

Blimey. Old Felipe looks a bit threatening there.

I'm just down the road from that college. If I'd have known I would have gone down to spy

Max looks great in that outfit, and lovely pic of Filipe and Leonor.

Felipe really has gone full silver fox. He's only 55!

Yes, it's just not a very flattering pic. Leonor looks gorgeous though.

Now that's lovely!

Is Sofia at the same school now? I read that instead of going to university straight away, Leonor is going to join the army for a couple of years as she will one day be the head of the Spanish military.

Princess Elisabeth of Belgium is doing similar - although she does the military training in her university holidays, as she is reading history and politics at Oxford.

On the graduating from high school theme, Ingrid Alexandra of Norway was let off waving duties this 17 May (Constitution day) so she could participate in the "Russ" celebrations with her classmates. This is a traditional rite of passage which strangely (to me) takes place over a few weeks leading up to 17 May, before the exams rather than after. Lots of parties, alcohol, pranks etc, I guess not so much exam revision happens in some cases.
The students wear overalls, often red but can be other colours depending on subjects studied.

That's another lovely picture of the Leti family. They look so happy!

Those are lovely graduation pictures for both families. They just look like typical families celebrating success.

I know! So nice.

So lovely, I love the ethos of UWC, a friends daughter got a scholarship to the India campus, she went there at 16, she has some amazing tales to tell, it was all quite rough and ready/.

Royals! They are just like us, sitting next to their school parent friends for the graduation ceremony 😀

Oops, adding the picture would help…
