Royal Style: with hope, our threads continue

[Maireas]

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.🌷

Maybe she does it so she doesn’t get easily recognised when she’s off duty with her hair down?

Yes brands send press releases to media and influencers

Lux RF are visiting Belgium. Not a fan of Mathilde's outfit nor GDMT's coat. Also, I hadn't realised just how short GDMT is - unless Mathilde is much taller than I'd thought? Weather in Brussels looks as bad as here in the NW, where yesterday we had gales, hail, rain, and cold.

Let’s hope there’s a state banquet tonight. Mathilde wears a tiara well and MT is never dull.

Meanwhile it’s also Daisy’s 84th birthday and Tatler has taken a look back at her style. She’s another one who’s never dull and no doubt is currently celebrating with a gin and large box of cigarettes chocolates!

Goodness, there's quite a height difference between Mathilde and MT, isn't there? I'm not keen on either outfit, Mathilde's seems out of proportion.

Thanks for the retrospective on Daisy, Deftly.
She's certainly never dull! Some great outfits, not least the vivid rain mac and hat made from wipe down tablecloth fabric! Brilliant.

Yes I agree, Daisy is never dull.

Google tells me that Mathilde is 175cm, but I can't find any info on MT's height.

Oooh, nice. I like MT's necklace.

Both women look really good! I think MT’s necklace is aquamarines?

They both look great. Is Mathilde in the Nine Provinces tiara? Can't quite tell.

I was hoping MT would wheel out this whopper:

but her necklace makes up for it.

Love Leti's skirt.

Mary and Fred with Margarethe to celebrate her birthday, and Benedikte, and Mary welcoming Mrs Zelenska to Copenhagen.
While Princess Eleanore of Belgium celebrates her 16th with the release of official pics.

Meanwhile Leticia leaving for the Netherlands in a Hugo Boss suit, and Camilla hosting a domestic violence charity at Buckingham Palace.

I think Princess Eleanore is one to watch in the style stakes. She is very poised, too.

Not keen on Mrs Zelenska's voluminous blouse or trousers - her outfit swamps her.

I think MT and Mathilde could have swapped necklaces. The Aquamarine would bring out the ice blue in Mathilde's dress and MT didn't need to introduce another colour or gem to her outfit 😀

Princess Eleanore looks lovely. I agree about Mrs Zekensky, the outfit overwhelms her. The proportions of Mary's are a bit better. I like Leti's suit

Those aquamarines 💙

I missed Leti looking very slinky! That skirt looks metallic.

Why are the sashes different colours?

Different monarchies. different orders. All fugly, though.

Ah! Thank you

Eleonore is very pretty but she’s about 20 years too young for that outfit!

Mathilde’s banquet gown is new season Armani. I think it might be one of the best she’s ever worn.

I like MT’s Prada shoes too. Let’s hope she doesn’t lob them at anyone.

She's inspired me to look for cobalt trousers but I'm 40 😅
