Great picture of King Charles at the Highland Games yesterday. Had never noticed quite such a strong resemblance to Philip before (2nd photo).

Goodness. He looks very Battenberg there. As does Harry, I think.
Charles has a nice laughing face, doesn't he?

Gosh, he is like his dad in profile isn't he!

I think Harry is the spitting image of Philip.

Maireas · 06/08/2023 12:10

Me too. Very similar.

Ah, that's a lovely pic of KC. I wonder if he's getting more relaxed as he's getting into the role, iykwim.

Maireas · 06/08/2023 12:46

Yes, it's been a very demanding year for him, I'm glad he's relaxing.

Charles has always loved his life in Scotland and it shows.

KPops22 · 06/08/2023 12:55

My goodness Charles does look like Philip in that second shot.

SenecaFallsRedux · 06/08/2023 13:46

Great pictures of KC. I think he really enjoys being king.

I'm glad Charles is settling into the role. Harry is too hairy facial wise for me to make a stab at his genes

I quite like Meghan’s striped dress, although I’d be driven mad trying to walk in it!

I saw a lady wearing the self portrait dress Kate has in all the colours - they one with a pleated skirt and a top that looks like a jacket. She was obviously headed to a vair posh wedding. It looked pretty, although she’d paired it with crazy high heels that she was having trouble walking in (in fairness she was crossing cobbles in a rainstorm and holding an umbrella so kudos to her for just staying upright!). Bit chilly for yesterday though 😬

LadyEloise1 · 06/08/2023 14:26

Oh my word @ChicoryDip, in the second photo Charles looks so like TimNiceButDim Harry Enfield, it's uncanny.

I can also see why you say he looks like Prince Phillip.

gluenotsoup · 06/08/2023 17:07

I also think he’s very like a young Prince Philip. Peter Phillips also is in my mind, just heavier set.

The Borbons are out to dinner in Mallorca with Queen Sofia and Princess Irene. Naturally, it's espadrille central. Some lovely summer looks, I like Leti's red Mango dress. I love that colour and so rarely find it in the shops.

Spanish Royal Family attended a dinner at Mia Restaurant in Palma

Queen Letizia wore a red pleated halter-neck dress by Mango. Infanta Sofia wore an ikat Arles dress by Babbaki. Princess Leonor wore a green dress

They all look great, and I especially like Leti's red dress.

Espadrille Central, or Brisket Shoes (my favourite @ArcaneWireless-ism)?

Maireas · 06/08/2023 19:05

I can't get over how tall the daughters are, all of a sudden!

OP posts:

Both look stunning.

I’m not usually one for a ruffle on the hen of a frock but I really like the green and purple one.

Keep the shoes. They’d play havoc with my varicoses in the heat.

ArcaneWireless · 06/08/2023 19:50

Hem. Not hen.

For no one needs a clucking frock.

ArcaneWireless · 06/08/2023 19:51

That could have come out an awful lot worse…

Maireas · 06/08/2023 19:51

Felipe looks as if he's in the uniform of a manager at a fast food franchise.

How else would you tell the time?!

They've been since they hit their teens, especially Sofia! She must be about 6ft now?
