Sophie looks fab in those photos. She really suits that lovely shade of green.
She, like Kate, seems to have a warmth about her when meeting&greeting. You never get a feeling she's bored or not wanting to be there.

Lovely look, but no hat 🥶

Fantastic cause 👏

Sophie really has stepped up into the role as Duchess of Edinburgh.

Lux RF hosting a reception. Nice to see some tiara action, though can't seem to get a really good look at them.

I'm not crazy about Stephanie's dress, nor GDMT's. I think Princess Alexandra looked the best here, though wish her dress was a tiny bit longer. I'd forgotten that she's pregnant.

I think Stephanie needs a bit of lippy to brighten her up.
I'm like death warmed up without it.
The dress is pretty but she looks a bit pale.

Eugenie at a Paris fashion show and Charlene at a circus event.

Ah, Charlene and family at two different events, it appears. I thought she and Albert had just taken their coats off but the twins have completely different costs on.

CliffsofMohair · 19/01/2024 22:04

Gabriella looks unimpressed

Maireas · 19/01/2024 22:10

Charlene looks nice, though. I don't like Eugenie in black.

Max does Davos.

in her pyjamas.

Sorry Max. This is a sack the stylist outfit.

Mmm, more baggy trousers.....
I like the coat, though, it's a great colour.

Char is looking so stylish and well put together. Love that camel and black combo.
Love Gabriella's coat and her unimpressed confidence!
Everything looks tight on Eug there. I sympathise - really difficult post baby to look stylish, but she naturally suits a more A line shape.
Great cause Camilla is supporting and she looks lovely.

Eaumyword · 19/01/2024 22:29

Same, @Maireas, I do like Max's coat and bag, but not the suit!

CliffsofMohair · 19/01/2024 22:34

Maybe Gabs is channeling her late Grandmère Princess Grace with the cool stare

MotherofPearl · 19/01/2024 22:41

Char looks stylish in the camel.

Eug in the black dress isn't looking her best, and her makeup and hair looks wrong too. I prefer her hair styled more naturally.

I agree that Max's coat (and bag) are great, but the suit is just awful. Poor Max.

Lunde · 19/01/2024 23:18

Love Charlene's camel coat

Max's plum coat is nice but the trouser suit gives me a headache

Sympathetic to Eugenie - it's been a difficult time with the baby and Fergie's illness - but it's not the most flattering look

justasking111 · 20/01/2024 08:40

Eugenie is sponsored by Fendi who are linked to Dior. Hence the Dior head to toe outfit.

Papergirl1968 · 20/01/2024 11:41

Oh dear Max. Great coat but no, just no, to the suit.
I almost didn't recognise Beatrice when I first saw the photo. Agree the dress is wrong style or wrong size, just not flattering.

MmePoppySeedDefage · 20/01/2024 22:51

I fear I think Camilla's coat looked a bit crumpled and I don't like the mixture of camel coat, green bag and black boots. Fine for those of us who don't have as much money, but she surely has a few pairs of brown boots one of which would have gone better? Individually nice items but a bit unpolished as an outfit.

I thought Eugenie looked rather good. It's hard to tell from the photo exactly how the dress fits, and it may be too tight but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt - she looks pretty.

Lifestooshort71 · 21/01/2024 07:19

I like it when Camilla does her visits without a hat as it makes her look more approachable and relaxed (I reckon there should be a dress code for Royal Visits with some deemed no-hat-days). I do agree though that it looks as though she grabbed stuff off her bedside chair when she got dressed - perhaps she's worried about Charles.

DisforDarkChocolate · 21/01/2024 16:24

Fred and Mary both looking pretty fine in church today. Mary suits purple and Fred's uniform is a good one, much better than the one he normally wears. It could be I just never noticed this one before because I normally focus on Mary.

Papergirl1968 · 21/01/2024 23:47

Mary "recycled" her outfit from Charles' coronation , apparently.
This photo of Mathilde was released to mark her 51st birthday.

Mary's hair looks lovely.

I like what we can see of Camilla's skirt and green jumper, but I don't like her coat. Is that what's called blanket stitching around the edge? To me it looks scruffy and unfinished.
