@LadyEloise1 it doesn't look knitted, from what I can tell, so I suppose it's a fabric like the wool you would get in formal trousers/jackets. Sorry I know very little about textiles!

I don't like Daisy's coat.
The grey doesn't suit her.
Is it mink ?

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 16/01/2024 10:39

On Daisy and Henrik - they had a very passionate and probably quite tempestuous relationship at times. I think they adored each other but there were some sticking points here and there. I think she could handle it - she's a very strong and determined woman.

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 16/01/2024 10:45

Yes @LadyEloise1 it's not her colour. I've no idea what fur it is.

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 16/01/2024 10:53

On the King's watch, it's a Frogman's watch.

(Excuse clumsy translation, I let Google do it)

Euroman has talked to watch expert Kristian Haagen about the very special watch, which is an Omega Seamaster 300 42mm without date. "He is only allowed to wear it because he is a former frogman. It is a special frogman watch, which is made in direct collaboration with Omega. It is a secret watch that should not be trumpeted. There are no official pictures of it, and that's how the frogmen want it."

You can just spy it here.

Marginally off topic but it is a beautiful shot - this ad was taken out as a full page ad in one of the Danish papers. Tasmania obviously hoping to get a tourism boost from Mary's elevation to Queen.

Stunning pic

I think Isabella is very like young Margrethe.

Isabella looks so much like Fred and Christian looks like Mary.

This is a sweet photo.

What great photos, and thanks to everyone for details about the jewellery.

And Leti on an engagement last week, which I hadn't seen before (it was included in an article on the new royal trend for flat shoes)

Yes, @Papergirl1968 , I posted that upthread. I think we liked the jacket and shoes (especially me!). but mixed reactions to the cropped wide leg trousers.

Eaumyword · 16/01/2024 23:04

Yes, I still think top half and shoes are great, bottom half is a bit munchkin...
She looks fab in the photo upthread with some sharp tailoring.
LOVE CPV's berry trouser outfit. Gorgeous colour for the winter season and great styling.
I like Sophie's outfit too. Looks warm and sensible, with a pop of colour. I think I'd have teamed that lovely cream though with CPV's berry colour as a jacket, or a strong tobacco or dark brown colour.

Papergirl1968 · 16/01/2024 23:44

Ah, missed that @Maireas
I like her navy jacket in the photo where she's waving because it's slightly more relaxed than a traditional blazer.

mathanxiety · 17/01/2024 03:21

Gorgeous outfit all the way down to the fabulous flat shoes on Letizia, @Papergirl1968

Not to worry! These threads go quickly and we all got interested in Denmark.

Sophie at a charity which supports vulnerable people - getting involved in the chair exercise!
I really love the emerald green coat, such a great colour.
She turns 59 on Saturday.

I like the colour of Sophie's coat very much.

Oh dear, that outfit of Eugenie's isn't flattering. The coat drowns her, and the short, high-necked dress is awful. She and Zara both like that style of dress (short but high-necked) and they are completely the wrong style for either of them.

I just noticed that the baby lbs were coming off fast. I do envy her life in Portugal, swimming, walking, exercising in private.

gingercat02 · 17/01/2024 14:29

Not S&B, but Kate has had planned surgery and will be in hospital for 10-14 days. I know private, etc, but it sounds major if they aren't getting her home sooner than that!

paradyning · 17/01/2024 14:45

What's weird is if it was planned surgery why were appts booked in to now have to be cancelled? Surely they would have done that already.
Very odd
