As in they dont mingle with other Royal families in the same way the Scandis and the others do. They don’t seem to have the same (public) friendships with other Royal families. The photo at Ingrid Alexandra’s birthday with all the young heirs and heiresses to Euro thrones was lovely to see and George wasn’t a part of it.

The Spanish and the Danish heirs weren't there either - for Ingrid Alexandra's birthday I mean.

I would quite like to see more photos and connections with euro Royal families. I see the point made about historical issues and the preservation of presenting as a British royal family, a bit of a USP. Conversely though, the strengthening of European connections would be a good support but also doubles down on that they do have shared links worth celebrating and raise their profile in a forward thinking way.
And they could share tiaras 😆

"Go on, Max, have a go with the Boucheron Honeycomb!"

"OK, Camilla, but you have to try the full Stuart, then. Honestly, you can barely get a G&T down you without feeling like it's going to fall off!"

"You're on! Pass me the Elnett and a handful of hairpins? Thanks!"

That would be the business 👍

Great picture you've conjured up there @SqueakyDinosaur Grin

Cams can party with the best of them!

Article about the Greek royal family:

Are the Greeks Europe’s most fabulous royals?.

There was a really beautiful photo of Sophie on insta a couple of days ago, which I assumed was new, she was wearing a peachy coloured jumper and beige(ish) trousers and was sat on a window seat in what I presumed was probably her home, she looked very relaxed. I went back to try and find it to post on here but can't see it anywhere - did anyone else see it?

tealgate · 09/08/2023 18:40

Yes, I think it was this one.

tealgate · 09/08/2023 18:41

Sorry, here

Thanks for that, @MmePoppySeedDefage . The Greek royal family are certainly glamorous! All very good looking. I'm not sure why they all have double barrelled names though?!
Marie Chantal is always very stylish.

That is a lovely picture, thank you @tealgate . I notice that they recently celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary. Good going for that generation of royals!

That’s a lovely photo of Sophie. She’s comfortably built and it suits her very well. She looks like someone you might know in real life (and probably be madly jealous of!)

Eaumyword · 09/08/2023 19:57

Love Sophie's outfit and colour palette there.

tealgate · 09/08/2023 18:40

Yes, I think it was this one.

Thanks!

gluenotsoup · 09/08/2023 23:10

Thats a nice look on Sophie. I like the colours and the little bit of ankle. She’s very attractive in a relatable way rather than unattainably perfect.

Pallisers · 09/08/2023 23:37

That's lovely of Sophie. She has lovely feet.

mathanxiety · 10/08/2023 15:14

I think that sums up Sophie's style very succinctly, gluenotsoup

KillingMeDeftly · 10/08/2023 16:40

Is that actually Sophie? It has a vaguely AI look about it!

what does ‘comfortably built’
mean please? It’s not an expression I know and am wondering what it means/ if it’s a typo 🤔

KillingMeDeftly · 11/08/2023 19:30

I went to Buckingham Palace today! I saw the coronation robes - the purple is so sumptuous - and Camilla's dress but the crowns were alas not on display.

Maireas · 11/08/2023 19:31

How exciting! What did Camilla's dress look like close up? It looked beautiful during the ceremony.

It's incredibly detailed up close. On the broadcast you just think "oh, some gold embroidery" but it's actually really intricate.
