Royal Style: Embracing Autumn with a Varied Wardrobe - let's be like KC3 and enjoy!

[Maireas]

Welcome to the new thread.
Espadrilles in the cupboard, folks.

In Kenya afaik

They are indeed in Kenya, on a state visit. Cams looking nice in white, but His Maj? Come on, Charles, wear a better suit! Look at William Ruto in the nice navy, he looks sharp.
What's that? Major Johnny in tropical uniform?!

I also like Rachel Ruto's blue print dress.

Camilla seems to have a signature shape, like the late Queen. I kept thinking how hot I would be.

Yes, and Camilla famously struggles in the heat. The dress looks nice and cool, though.

Leonor has taken her oath. Leti looks very proud.

She does. I think that dress is a re-wear?
Leonor nice in the white suit.

I love Camilla's blue evening ensemble. It looks elegant and comfortable.

Major Johnny in tropical uniform?!

I think he's Lieutenant Colonel Johnny now, not that I'm keeping tabs or anything. 😀

It's time someone told the King he's had his money's worth out of that suit, it's not owe him anything. Maybe Johnny would stage an intervention for us (I'll leave you ladies to write your own punchlines)

Major Johnny's Intervention!
He always looks so braw 😍.
Yes, I'm surprised he's not confiscated that suit, but I suspect Charles is one to become very stubborn on such matters.

Makes him look like a villian in an Agatha Christie or a black market dealer from Dads Army

Maybe Camilla is saying to Mr Ruto: "could you please have a word with him about that suit, nothing I say makes a jot of difference."

I do hope so! 😊

Not strictly S&B but a lovely bit from Charles' speech this evening 'reported' on Twitter (picture below).

And some great pictures/videos online from Leonor taking her oath - a nice moment when Leti adjusted her hair for her. I've said it before but she has become so grown up in the last few months.

Apparently Juan Carlos has come in for tonight's celebrations.

I also hasn't realised that Leonor remains as the Presumed Heir just in case a baby brother was to arrive.

Sweet 💕

just followed the link to Tatler's photos of Leonor. The spanish really nail fashion and hair - and shoes - for children and teens.

I also hasn't realised that Leonor remains as the Presumed Heir just in case a baby brother was to arrive.

I think Spain and Monaco are the only European countries to still have male primogeniture?

This morning

White trouser suit by her dad’s tailor, Sastrería Serna

I though Leonor looked lovely.
What a strange position to be in though, knowing she could still be usurped by a baby brother if one came along, unlikely as that is now, I suppose.

A bit like what happened in Downton, before Her Ladyship slipped on the soap.

I loved Downton. Such drama.
Since Harry started speaking out I have a lot more sympathy for all the spares. Being heir is difficult but being spare maybe harder?

Thorny debate for a style topic, @eggandonion ! All I'm going to say is that most people face challenges in life, and we can only play the hand we're dealt.

Leonor looks striking yet also quietly elegant. (Can’t explain it properly!)

Love that photo of the King with Kate.

👋 to all! I’m back in the Royal S&B fold after an extended period away. Couldn’t do without you all and the fun/frivolous/interesting chat!

Haz wasn’t the first ‘spare’ in the history of mankind and he’s not the only one in life to face challenges. You (as in he) are what you make of the cards you were dealt, and his were privileged beyond the wildest dreams of most people. So I really do get tired of his whingeing.

Other than the loss of his mother so early, of course, which of course would have been devastating. I have all the sympathy in the world for that. But everything else? Nah.

I’ve said it before: Harry is clearly not the kind of man who will find healing in introspective brooding. He needs to get properly stuck into building something for others based on actions not word.

(Sorry, I know we tend to keep these discussions off this thread!)

Oh I’m glad to be back. 👑👑👑
