Royal Style and Beauty - what goes in the Bold Tower? White stilettos, green coats and too much of the flower?

[Maireas]

We're over here!
Welcome one, welcome all!

Leonore looks the part!

The photo @SqueakyDinosaur posted at 17.00 wins hands down as the worst Erdem. Very kind of CPV to lend Kate the curtains when her bag of frocks went missing.
Mette Marit's Erdem comes in a close second.

Happy Birthday @notsuchafrugalkitty

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It's been a long day Queening it on my island and I'm now sadly back to reality on the mainland. Happy to report that both House and Castle are still in excellent condition, although we didn't get down to Osborne's beach this visit.

Ooh Happy Birthday - photos look lovely!

It's worth noting Leonor's name tag, which follows Spanish tradition and includes Letizia's surname.

Well observed, Deftly.

Did anyone see pictures of Kate at that festival? It was one of those weird royal stories with no sources, just presented as fact that made me think it was either 100% made up or planted for some unknown reason.

Loving the Spanish military shots. She looks remarkably good in uniform!

@MsMarch I think we all know why the Fail ran that article. More to do with who was there than the festival itself. Just gossip mongering as they do 🤬

I thought it was photo shopped, stretching the neck and the head oddly, thin stringy hair. It was a Morticia Adams lookalike imo.

Poor Kate, it was a very unflattering photo and clearly the Mail was trying to stir.

I haven’t checked into this thread yet! Happy birthday for yesterday @notsuchafrugalkitty.

My favourite yellow outfit in the list is the Platinum Jubilee outfit. Love a bit of ?primrose.

I don't know why they ran the really weird article, not a clue, but there is a thread on it on Mumsnet.

William has posted a good luck Lionesses video, with Charlotte. Very nice, and Charlotte looks so sweet.

If you were paying an impromptu festival visit to a festival you wouldn't rock up wearing Jenny Packham and a tiara.

The Fail are turning themselves inside out with this because they propagated a rumour that's now been debunked.

World Cup: amazing we are through. Go Lionesses.

No guarantee at all that would be the outcome, but feck it let's jump on a flight. That's me (William), my 9 year daughter of daughter, times fuck knows how many protection officers that were in holiday with their families. Let's fuck up the security in Australia that weren't expecting us with a, now Royal Visit. Let's disregard the fact our Commonwealth sisters were knocked out and there's a delicate Republican Party to consider.

Did I forget anything? Yes! The fuck knows how much cost and the environmental impact for a, what? 3 hours if you Chuck in canapé, engagement.

Apologies @Maireas I'm feeling a little
Flighty.

I'm going to pop my King Edward's crown (spreadsheet) and reeeeeeelax.

@Vitriolinsanity completely agree.

Thanks for the new thread!

I have to say I love the yellow high-necked dress on Mette Marit. I am a sucker for that early 70s look.

I'm not sure William is thinking of the environment as a reason for not going to Australia - he doesn't have an issue travelling long-haul at other times. Earthshot this year is in Singapore! Plus he could take a scheduled commercial flight rather than a private jet,

Anyway all moot as he's not going! Back to fashion...

William, indeed all the royals are quite polarising, particularly on here. There's a thread running about whether he should go or not for those interested in the debate.

This is the thread.

Me too. Looks nothing like Kate.

Me three.
A very odd photograph.

I don't think it was photoshopped, it was just a very low res image taken from a low angle. Photos taken from below are never flattering!
