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

New thread!

That's a very elegant tiara. Interesting provenance.

Ah here.
channelling my inner Shania Twain here.

You are bold @PamelaParis

The timing of Daisy's announcement and what has gone on just before it.
Hmmm 🤔

Dash it! I thought I'd be first to share the Danish news, but I see I've been beaten to it. My DP (staunchly anti-monarchy) always teases me mercilessly for my RS&B addiction, but just sent me a link about QM's announcement - hope it works:

Meanwhile, here are some lovely photos of our beloved mascots to see in the NY!

Aw, look at them in their matching jumpers! So cute 🥰

They always seem such a lovely, happy family!

I would love that dragonfly tiara. 😍

Edited as I’ve been up for about 40 hours and am drooping more than 25 year old drawers.

You want it?
That would be a lovely New Year's addition to your tiara closet!

Squeaky should have dibs but if they pass? Yes please 😍

The bairns. 😍

@SqueakyDinosaur - do you want the dragonfly tiara added to the Spreadsheet of Splendour?
It's gorgeous 😍! If not, @ArcaneWireless would like it (although some pieces are already shared, I've noticed, so that could be a solution...)

Delighted to share or borrow occasionally 🤩

My staunchly Republican DH sent text with ‘BIG NEWS 🇩🇰’ 😂

I think the dragonfly could be a sort of community tiara. I am happy with the Boucheron Wave and the Russian Nuptial.

I look at the Netherlands and see what looks like a lovely 'retirement' for Beatrix. We'll enough to enjoy some state occasions, engage with causes she still supports and enjoy her grandchildren. I wish we followed a similar model.

@SqueakyDinosaur it shall be done!
A communal tiara for 2024!

If I was Katherine I'd bid on the tiara and tuck it away for Charlotte. It's so pretty.

Interesting I wonder if there will be republican mutterings over there?

Happy New Year to all our lovely Royal S&B fans, old and new! May we have another interesting, funny and thought provoking year! 👑

Happy New year @Maireas and all fellow Royal S&Bs may 2024 bring us much style to discuss and many many tiara opportunities 👑

Happy New Year to all, looking forward to continuing the interesting S&B discussions in 2024.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

Thanks for a great year of tiaras and frocks all
