Big Georgette Heyer fan here too, @KillingMeDeftly 😀

Hope George can start hanging with this group soon.

It should be William, as he's the heir, but that would be rather odd 🤣

@gingercat02

But many of the European heirs shown in the photo are also second in line to the throne like George - e.g. Estelle is there not CPV, same for Christian and Ingrid. Their grandparents are all still on the throne as is the case for George.

Prince Christian towers over his parents, love the photo of the heirs, all dressed very beautifully and appropriately for their ages.

Agree about Mette Marit's dress, a strange choice.

Nice to see the tiara's on display.

What I don't understand is why so many dresses don't work with those bloody awful sashes. Surely designing dresses to work with them is possible?

I often wonder if the royal women wish they could abandon those stupid sashes! They ruin all their outfits.

Having said that, Mary carried off her sash and sparkly dress with great aplomb and looked absolutely stunning.

I've often thought this. There must be some clever ways of pinning sashes and royal orders onto gowns so that they don't tear the fabrics.

That said, I'd quite like an elephant please (no need for a sash).

Amalia looks fabulous. You can really see Max in her there.

Very true sorry ☺️

MotherofPearl · 16/10/2023 10:57

No apologies needed Smile It would be funny to see William in an heirs photo with the younger set, that's for sure!

ChicoryDip · 16/10/2023 11:45

Princess Ingrid Alexandra's lovely dress is a rewear of the dress that CP Mette-Marit wore to Charlene and Albert's wedding reception in 2011.

I then found a great picture of M-M with CP Mary at the reception.

And then got completely distracted by the enormous wedding cake. 😂😂😂

The female children all looked amazing. No-one bothers with the boys who looked very handsome too.

I wonder if our royals are blocked from the European knees up because of Brexit or whether they've never been interested.

Shame because I had the best times with cousins from early childhood

Maireas · 16/10/2023 12:55

Nothing to do with Brexit! Remember, some of these Euro royal countries aren't in the EU anyway.
I just think they've never really socialised.

I think the Spanish royals were missing as well.

KillingMeDeftly · 16/10/2023 14:21

Mary's daughters looked good last night. Isabella's dress is very 70s Studio 64 glam and Josephine looks like she was styled by Meghan! The hairstyle and jumpsuit look very much like something she'd wear.

KillingMeDeftly · 16/10/2023 14:21

Forgot the photo!

LadyEloise1 · 16/10/2023 15:27

Does anyone know why Frederick and Mary called the twins Josephine and Vincent ?
I think they are an odd choice particularly for Royalty Smile
They are such plain old fashioned names. I associate them with older people, I live in Ireland.

LaBrujaPiruja · 16/10/2023 18:02

Josephine is 12. Why is she dressed like a forty-something? Hideous.

Serenster · 16/10/2023 19:38

I didn’t mind what Josephine wore actually. She obviously didn’t fancy being in a pink and sparkly dress like her younger cousin Athena or younger Princess Estelle, and would have known her older sister was going to wear a very glamorous strapless dress. The pantsuit was event-appropriate and not remotely revealing while also presumably making the nearly 13 year old feel stylish. A difficult needle to thread!

Papergirl1968 · 16/10/2023 19:52

Some more photos from last night, including an intriguing one of a gold shoe found in the clean up, prompting Danish media to launch a frenzied search for Cinderella!

Does the shoe fit anyone on here? Anyone?
I'm only suspicious because I am aware of certain crushes....😉

I'd break my ankle in those heels @Maireas 😂

Maireas · 16/10/2023 19:59

So... you weren't running after Fred then, @Papergirl1968 ?!

OP posts:
Papergirl1968 · 16/10/2023 20:09

No, although I might well have tottered after Felipe if he'd been there! 😍

That's an immense tiara on Marie-Chantal!
