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.🌷

Oops don't worry @locketrocket we all do it!

So who is that next to Caroline? (I'm presuming that's Caroline?)

Slightly off-topic but it's a nice story:

What I learnt from Kate on the train to Birmingham.

That's such a lovely story, @MmePoppySeedDefage - thank you!

I remember reading that at the time - Matthew Syed wrote about it when it first happened.

Lovely article about Kate. I always think she exudes a quiet warmth, so it's nice to hear the person behind the big job is a good one with or without cameras present.

Charlene looks amazing! The best she’s looked for a long time. Caroline looks very elegant and I like the roaring 20s style of Beatrice’s dress. Alexandra is turning into a bit of a fashionista too but Charlotte remains wedded to Chanel.

Albert still looks like the mâitre d’, especially with the red dickie bow.

Caroline does look elegant, very unforced. I also like the fact that she's letting her hair go grey.

I'm afraid I'm not keen on Charlene's hair there - that feathered combed forwards look is dreadful imo. Nice to see some glamorous outfits though.

Life for the Monaco royals seems an endless round of balls, parties and hanging out at the F1!

It must be stressful 😉

I think Caroline really personifies ageing gracefully. Of course it helps that she was beautiful to begin with, but she appears to have steered clear of very obvious cosmetic tweaks.

They must be exhausted 😀

I’d have liked Charlene’s outfit as a dress, but as a jumpsuit she looks like she’s auditioning to join an Abba tribute.

Who is the guy in the big Afro wig? At least I assume it’s a wig. Did he get lost on his way to find Luigi?

Going against the grain a bit, but I really don’t like either the jumpsuit or the new hair. Overall, she looks healthy and beautiful but the jumpsuit is too similar to 70’s lurex for me and I much prefer her edgier hairstyle

I wonder if there was a 70s theme, hence the chap in the wig?

I hope so, otherwise he’s at the wrong bash 😆

😂

👏

Nearly £700 for that awful headband 😱

Good grief. Why is it so expensive, is it silk?.

Terribly shallow, I know, but I think I might have a girl crush on GD Tatiana.

I have to say, that's one of the best hats we've had on here.
Poor Tatiana, what a horrible end. 🌷

Meanwhile, Beatrice Borromeo continues the gold theme at the Monaco Rose Ball, with a gorgeous sequinned dress, tres chic. The lippy looks a bit strong to me, but she's always very glam
