Evening everyone. I'm starting this new thread at a bit of a sad time, and I know we're all thinking of Kate and her family. Let's hope that as we continue in our lighthearted way, good news arrives for her, and others who are in a similar situation, either themselves or loved ones.🌷

Here's Max in Amsterdam. She's wearing dark blue Oscar de la Renta, with a humongous flower motif! I think the shape and cut of the dress is lovely.

I think the dress is slightly too tight, and I agree with @gingercat02 that the hat isn't right with this. Maybe it would work better with a coat.

Sofia visiting the European Parliament.

I think Sofia looks very chic. And I salute the spotless all white - I wore a wide sleeved jumper today and trailed the sleeves in everything, including a cup of tea....
Then the dog started sucking on them like a comfort blanket. I despair 🙄🤷‍♂️

Maireas · 11/04/2024 06:54

@Eaumyword 😂oh dear!
That's a lovely shirt and trousers on Sofia, very chic and I like the addition of the leather belt.

Love Max's dress, but I'm not sure the hat works with it. It looks too heavy or wintery.

The hat has hogwarts vibes. Sorry Max

KnickerlessParsons · 11/04/2024 15:08

Max's dress reminds me of the dress Meghan wore for the Oprah interview - the one with the "bird shit" on the shoulder. 😁

Maireas · 11/04/2024 15:11

Oh no! I actually really liked that dress of Meghan's! I think it was dark silk with a white flower.
I like Max's dress too, quite a strong motif, but I think it works.

I liked that floaty dress MM wore for the infamous Oprah interview too, very wearable.

KnickerlessParsons · 11/04/2024 16:59

Bird shit 😁

It was a nice dress but she should probably have thought about the context. Some things look weird if you are standing or sitting all the time, when moving around they are fine.

Princess Beatrice on a night out with her husband and in-laws on a night out, Max out with Willem and Princess Beatrix, and Leti and Felipe. I like her suit but it’s badly creased at the back.

I like the colour of Beatrice's skirt and coat. Max looks lovely, and very low key for her!
I wonder if Leti's suit is linen? That always creases badly. I'm not keen on some of her pastel suits.

In royal baby news, Rania is soon to be the world’s most glamorous grandmother as Rajwa is pregnant!

Lovely news!

Eaumyword · 11/04/2024 22:18

Max looks lovely there, most elegant. I like the colour of Leti's suit.

KillingMeDeftIy · 12/04/2024 07:32

This dress is a really good shape on Eugenie but it’s a shame the colour doesn’t really do anything for her.

Maireas · 12/04/2024 07:35

Yes, a nice strong colour and it would look great.
That's a gorgeous house, is that Royal Lodge?

That dress is perfect on Eugenie - very flattering. I wish she'd realise this when she reaches for those awful high necked mini dresses that she favours, but which do nothing for her.

A little bit more detail on Leti's outfit, shared by @Papergirl1968 above. It's a Hugo Boss suit, in a linen mix, which would explain the creasing. I'm not keen on these pastel trouser suits, but she wears it well and her hair and makeup are spot on, as usual.

MotherofPearl · 12/04/2024 08:06

I'm with you on the pastel trouser suits @Maireas. Not a fan either. CPV also seems to love them. For me they're a bit Angela Merkel, and not in a good way.

Serenster · 12/04/2024 08:08

I can compost that photo of Eugenie too - such a fantastic dress for her, it’s the best she has looked for ages.

I will post this picture of Mary ski-ing last week. A challenge to look stylish on the slopes when dressed for performance, but she manages it here, even if her neck seems to be swallowed up a bit. The navy glasses are fab!

Eugenie’s photo taken in the US Ambassador’s residence. Nice!

Papergirl1968 · 12/04/2024 09:32

Thanks, @Maireas I thought it was Hugo Boss but couldn’t find confirmation.

justasking111 · 12/04/2024 09:38

Well done Eugenie, she's worked hard to get the pregnancy weight off. She'll have more confidence now. The length, neckline, fit spot on.

Propertylover · 12/04/2024 14:37

Eugenie looks lovely. I agree a brighter colour.

CliffsofMohair · 12/04/2024 17:27

Love Bea’s skirt. Not so much love for Sofia’s suit.
