@Maireas she didn't, but it's something I'd imagine her saying. She's lush 😍

Maireas · 07/07/2023 07:12

Right. About shoes? She always wears flat lace ups, I've noticed - she's looking after her feet! I suspect she's not a fan of heels or slingbacks!

She's not royal but I like Kate's SIL Alizee's dress here, though the fit around the bustline isn't quite right. I have a couple of dresses in a similar green. I didn't realise she was pregnant.

I really like that dress, it's a fresh summery colour and shape without being too twee. Love the accessories!

Kate at the polo today. I like her accessories more than I like her dress.

Don't suppose anyone knows the designer?

I'm totally in love with this dress!!!

Leti’s daughters have their father’s height by the look of things. Not ever so keen on the 1980s bridesmaid dress on Leonor but she is so pretty she carries it off.

KillingMeDeftly · 07/07/2023 09:24

Yes, Sofia in flats is already taller than Letizia in heels and Leti is not short. She's apparently 5'7 so must be 5'9 or 10 in those high heels she loves.

But anyone standing next to Felipe would look tiny - remember the photos of him with the late queen? I wonder where he gets his height from? Are the Bourbons particularly tall?

It's Beaulah.

*Beulah, sorry, my fingers really wanted to add that A, I had to take it out again!

I’m loving PA rewearing stuff from decades ago. Fair play, who else can get into clothes from 30 odd years ago?

Anne is still in great shape but I'm sure her clothes must've had some alteration over the years. Perhaps she gets them made with generous seams!

Sophie has gone for a similar Wedgwoody dress today.
I'm not wild about either. They remind me too much of the voluminous nighties worn by old ladies.

i think this is actually too big for her.

More Bourbon activity. Leonor visiting the military academy - she starts her training there in September. Nice polka dot dress, no espadrilles today.

Kate is currently livid that Leonor got her hands on a new spotty dress before she did!

It's a spotty top and skirt rather than a dress. It's very pretty as are her shoes. The European royalty wear far more short sleeved summer dresses than ours do. I find long sleeved summer dresses a tad ageing

KillingMeDeftly · 07/07/2023 19:23

I'm off to Wimbledon on Sunday - will let you all know if I spot a certain brunette princess. Tbh if I was Kate I'd take advantage the royal box and attend everyday!

KnickerlessParsons · 07/07/2023 19:42

The sporty dress doesn't do justice to Leonora's lovely figure.

King and Queen visiting the Borders today including a tartan mill. I like Camilla's suit, bit different to the usual dresses and longer coats. Love her expression eyeing up the tartan though. Think we can expect some new tartan outfits imminently.

@KillingMeDeftly. Saw this and thought of you. The mini Chanel cross body bag would be perfect for your trip. The little tennis racket is actually a mirror. 😊

(It's Mollie King so not strictly speaking royal but there is a tenuous link as Eugenie wore the same dress at one of the Coronation celebrations.)

That little handbag is cute!

I have woken up with a spot on my chin bigger than that handbag.

It is lovely though.

The handbag.

Not my spot. 🔴
