Royal Style and Beauty: Carpe Diadem! No tears or tiers, just tiaras please

[Maireas]

Afternoon, a new thread and thanks to @ArcaneWireless for the great title! On we go!

Yes, Felipe is indeed very dashing. I may have a thing for tall, dark, blue eyed men...😉
Get well soon, @CliffsofMohair

Apologies to his fans on here but I'm not getting the Felipe love and he's one of the few people who doesn't look better when they smile.

Me too, @LadyEloise1 . I just don't see it
Also...beard. shudders

Oh thank goodness I'm not alone, I was worried there was something wrong with me. 😂

No indeed, @LadyEloise1 . Is there a handsome, beardless royal man?

I think Felipe is attractive but my real royal favourite eye candy is Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark. I’d quite happily be in CP Mary’s shoes.

Fred? Doesn't he have that scrappy grey beard?

He does but I could put up with that. 😂

(I think someone is going to come on and remind us of Hotty Haakon...)

They're all bearded nowadays - Haakon, Felipe, Carl Philip, Fred.

I guess if you want beardless then there's William and... erm... Joachim? One of the Luxembourg princes? ALBERT???

Do. Not. Go. There.
Sighs.

How about a European royal wedding with very high hair?
The groom's bouffant is also impressive.

I do like her dress, though. Also, the gloves.

I love how it says his brother "renounced his succession rights" - to what? Surely they're just empty titles now?

I know. They're living out a bit of a fantasy in many cases.
Strange coincidence - scroll down for the picture of a young Juan Carlos - looking quite like Felipe, there, I think.

The bride’s (Diane of Orleans) hair at that wedding was famously styled by Alexandre de Paris, the celebrity hairstylist! He also worked a lot with Princess Grace and Elizabeth Taylor in the 1960s.

Ooh, great detail, @Serenster . Those are impressive hair dos.

It's Haakon's 50th birthday today.

Lots of lovely birthday messages to Haakon posted by the other Scandinavian royal houses! I like that they are all so close.

On another note - I love this dress on Charlene! So flattering on her, and she looks overall great.

I agree Charlene looking better. I suspect that she's maybe been to a fat farm these last few weeks. Which will have been good for mind and body.

I really like Charlene's dress but Albert! When I look at his jacket all I can think of is Derek's thread on tailoring.

The Belgians look very smart for their National Day. I love Princess Elizabeth's yellow dress although it might have benefited from an M&S slip underneath.

No Delphine??
