Royal Style and Beauty - Trooping on, through summer and beyond!

[Maireas]

Although the summer so far has been disappointing!
More style and beauty sharing and discussion, thank you to everyone who makes these threads so enjoyable! 🤩

Tall blonde, blue eyes, powerfully built, I'm talking very muscular. Amazingly strong. Square wide jaw. My son and three grandchildren all tower over children in their own age group at primary level.

It's difficult for them because people assume they're much older than they really are. So they behave like a five year old but people assume they're at least three years older or more.

More red and white! As stylish as Leti?
Quite the look.

Albert looks better in those colours. He looks like a short man was surprised to find out that he's 5' 11".

He needs a better tailor - the way his right hand lapel is gaping distresses me. The young men's jackets fit them well. As for the poor women having to wear those outfits, words fail me...

Are those keys in his trouser pockets?
Felipe - loan him your tailor.

Is he going for a job at Butlins?

😂

I think Leti wins the red and white outfit this evening, even though I'm not sure about the trousers.

Love love love Leti's earrings. I have just looked at everything on the Gold and Roses website (where they are from). Some really interesting designs especially in earrings.

They are beautiful. She has other earrings from Gold and Roses, they do some lovely designs.

They look like the entertainment party on a cruise ship. 😂

What’s the story with that relationship? It’s really beyond weird.

It really is, isn’t it?

Good grief Albert! He looks like he's channeling his inner public schoolboy in that outfit! 😱

I agree @EvangelistaSister it is beyond weird.

The uniforms are almost a parody of what we think French people should be wearing.

Who chose Balmoral?

Tomorrow a new tour begins and 40 people a day get to see inside more of the house than the previous tour which was gardens and ballroom only.

Plus for an extra £50 so £150 total you get afternoon tea there using china that is a replica of what the royal family actually use. That's going on my bucket list for a future holiday! (Although to be frank it looks quite dark with all the wood and red wallpaper. Sandringham seems much lighter and brighter - I'd like afternoon tea in the drawing room there)

I'd love to visit out of interest. The fake Scots baronial with tartan carpets ain't my thing, but from a history point of view, I'd like to go.
Beautiful setting.

Sorry but whenever I see Albert I am always reminded of Rhys Ifans in Notting Hill when he comes back in after being photographed by the press and looks in the mirror.

"How did I look? Not bad. Not bad at all. Well chosen grey briefs. Nice firm buttocks."

I do wish he would find a better tailor. There must be someone in Monaco.

I’m note that although Albert joined in with the Olympic outfits, Charlene sensibly declined. I suspect her exact words were hell no! Mine would be. Last time I wore a beret was 1990 aged 13 when my mum insisted I needed to wear a hat to a wedding and that is what we compromised on. It did not look good.

Love it @RomainesToBeSeen 😂

Yes, he's an unfortunate shape, certainly, but good tailoring can do wonders. A beautifully-tailored man's suit is one of the most forgiving garments on the planet. There's no way someone with that much wealth should be giving off a vague impression of awkward bulginess.

He needs a going over by Derek Guy on Twitter.

It's also weird, as his father was perfectly OK looking and his mother was a legendary beauty. His sisters don't look like they've been made out of leftover pastry. It's just him.

Leftover pastry 😂
