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.

Sofia is only late 40s in those photos, so younger than Letizia is now, but the hairdo (much like ex-queen Beatrix's) makes her seem much older.

And Felipe looks like a gawky schoolboy but Leonor looks like a self-possessed young woman.

On first glance, I thought it was Sophie in that photo of Max.

Camilla is looking great, I think Charles is looking quite exhausted lately, not just on this tour. He really is quite frugal about his clothes, thats for sure.

Easy to be frugal I guess when your handmade shoes cost £1000 and your suits upwards of £5k!

I suppose he's invested that much, he wants a good return. He's still wearing shoes he had 50 years ago, so I suppose even if they were very high end, that's value for money!
The undisputed champion of this is, of course, Anne, who in the process, never looks shabby, even in an outfit originally worn in 1974. 💪

It’s undeniably much, much easier to be frugal when you have plenty of money.

Never mind status! But I do find it endearing.

Charles likes his luxuries, that's for sure! Has he even moved into Buckingham Palace? I doubt it would compare to the comforts of Clarence House, given that he spent a fair bit getting it up to his standards. I know BP is undergoing renovations but I can't imagine he would relish the move!

I wouldn’t make that move, that’s for sure! Especially as he has the most comfortable and convenient commute to the office.

Indeed!

Kate and William on engagements in Scotland today.

That is one hideous coat on Kate.

I don’t mind the jacket - it does rather scream “Burberry!” though. Love that she mountain biked around the course.

I like William's jacket and trews combo.

That coat is awful, it's just so frumpy. Why does she think tartan and checks are compulsory in Scotland.

If I ignore the coat she looks fabulous.

Read recently Sofia kicked the king out of her bed in 1971 when she was 33. She's 85 now. What dedication to duty to endure the marriage she did for the greater good

She is possibly the only woman who looks good in a cycling helmet!

The jacket is practical, around here the hunting fishing shooting fraternity all look similar to this.

I agree the jacket looks suitable for the occasion.

That jacket and those trousers are, to use the words of my late grandmother, a holy show on Kate.
In other words awful.

I concur.

She has at plenty of other outdoor jackets that would be suitable for the occasion and are much nicer, like the one she wore yesterday. This one is brand new and hideous!

If the POW wore the same jacket 2 days running everyone would complain. She can’t win.

I certainly wouldn't complain and I don't think anyone else here would either. She repeats stuff quite frequently.

I take it Kate had time to pop into House of Bruar on the way to Moray today? I'm fed up with the north of the border must wear checks vibe. That jacket is giving me wee auld wifie in Take the High Road. There are some lovely fitted styles from Barbour just now, at least the tartan would be restricted to the lining.
