Royal Style: silk, stomachers, sapphires and plenty of sass

[Maireas]

New thread!

I like this photo of Mary which has been released.
Here are Leti and Felipe out and about too.

Leti looks fab in her velvet suit. EBG/CPM looks very pretty there.

Lovely picture of EBG.

Our gal EBG looking beautiful. Feeling for her with the (alleged) wandering Fred situation. I wonder if these royal men have any clue whatsoever what non royal women have to give up/endure to have relationships with them.

As seen on insta (figureitoutart) Kate in white outfits 2023

Love a montage, what a treat!
Kate looks great in white.

Lovely picture of Mary, I hope she's ok. Leti looking good in the velvet trouser suit.
I didn't realise Kate had worn so much white, that's an interesting montage.

I doubt they do @CliffsofMohair, though they might give it a bit of lip service.

Mary and Leti going through the mill a bit at the moment. It must be very tough in the public eye.
Queen Silvia and Queen Sofia of Spain have been through it.

Not in the spirit of the thread but lightbulb moment re the relationship between Leti and Sofia.

Good points. It must be difficult to continue with dignity and grace. Kudos to those women.

EBG looks lovely in the photo, all rugged up and so chic. Lucky them being in NZ; I'd love to be there right now.

Love Leti's look too. Hooray for velvet.

I didn't realise there were rumours about Felipe too. How sad.

Completely agree. Bad enough to have every outfit and extra pound scrutinised by the media without having to deal with rumours about your relationship.

In more cheerful news Bellle on Twitter has compiled a collage of Kate's Christmas Day outfits. I love last year's coat and hat (even with the flaps) as well as the red. I did also like the tartan coat and furry hat that she wore when she was pregnant but I don't think we'll see that one ever again.

Nice montage. I like the dark green and the dark red.

Super happy Dutch RF in some very cosy coats. Slight look of Princess Eugenie there in the middle Orange Princess. (Ariadne?)

Good coat work from the Dutch 👍.
That's one happy dog!

I love their dog! He looks like he's smiling in the second pic.
I think the rumours are about Leti rather than Felipe, @GrouchyKiwi
Oh to be a fly on a royal wall. It wouldn't even be the affair rumours I'd particularly be interested in,just the everyday lives. How hands on with the kids William and Kate really are, what Anne says about Harry, and whether Camilla ever moans about having to do a royal engagement and wishes she could just have a PJ day instead.

That's one happy dog!
It sure is @Maireas.

No rumours re Felipe @GrouchyKiwi
Leti's former bil ( formerly married to her sister ) wrote a book with allegations.

Love their coats and cute dog.

Ah, thanks for the correction, Papergirl and LadyEloise.

Here's a retrospective of Queen Silvia, since 1976 focusing on her jewels but some good photos of the many lovely gowns she's worn.

That's a lovely retrospective, thanks @MmePoppySeedDefage . Some gorgeous jewellery.

Wow, the sapphires in the pic from 1981!

Has anyone claimed the Leuchtenberg Sapphires, Maireas? If not, please send 'em my way!

CPV looks a lot like her Mum.

Queen Silvia is half Brazilian which explains her gorgeous hair which her daughter inherited

No to Titty Flaps!

I don't think so, @GrouchyKiwi !
All yours 😊

Excellent. Thank you.

Wear them on Christmas Day!
