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! 🤩

Yes, it's not the most flattering, because it is a gorgeous dress. I'm also disappointed in the picture of Max, because it's one of the few where she's dressed in a very muted way!

Lord Frederick Windsor and wife Sophie at Wimbledon today.

Nice! Looks like they've brought a picnic.

He and William look a lot alike, don’t they?

Though William generally looks healthier - Freddie always looks vaguely like a Victorian consumptive!

Yes! Those pale eyes. He looks like a cross between William and Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence.

He gives me the creeps, quite honestly.
He looks like the living dead.
I also always think “druggie eyes” when I see him and I know he did dabble in cocaine years ago but I don’t know if it’s that or just unfortunate genetics.

Freddie Windsor, fresh from his garret.

@Maireas I think it was you who once suggested he looked as if he's spent the night in a garret with a bottle of absinthe.

I did 🤣 well remembered! 😁

I think it’s the Hanoverian eyes.

Like all Windsor men, Freddie was good-looking for about 5 minutes in his youth https://iconicimages.net/photo/js-ro030-lord-frederick-windsor-models-clothes-by-thomasz-starzewski/

Ah, the Hanovers don't age well. Could be some sort of curse they need to have lifted.

Chuckling at the absinthe/garret comments - so true!
Sophie W looks lovely in her white dress for Wimbledon.

I wonder if Rishi even comtemplated that the King should have been in Edinburgh for that week? Extremely unlikely. Very rude to drag him back to London.

Rishi and Sir Keir could have flown to Scotland. Or taken a train.
Are Charles and Camilla in Scotland for the rest of the summer now?
I hope Kate can go to Wimbledon if she feels up to it.

QE always used to have Royal Week in Edinburgh and then go up to Balmoral. With the King's treatment, I'm not sure if they have said what the plans were. He was at the Garden Party last week and when the invites went out, I dont think it was known if he would have been in attendance or not.

Princess Carolina of Bourbon Two-Scillies celebrated her 21st birthday with a huge party. Although one caption mistakenly calls her by her sister’s name.

Great title. Nice cakes!

She doesn’t look like she scoffs much cake!
Look at this for presents - no less than six six Hermes shopping bags.
How the other half live.

Goodness, that's quite a collection of gifts.

Well hello to Leti in Guatemala, on one of those Spanish Cooperation trips. She always wears the red waistcoat which seems to represent the organisation. Otherwise white shirt and khakis and practical boots. This time Barefoot like her trainers.

Doh! Its the State Opening of Parliament tomorrow. So I'm assuming KC&QC will be there as he has managed to do all recent engagements.

I believe that they are going to Balmoral in August.

Anyone noticed how Handmaids Tale/Little House on the prairie the European royals summer dresses are. High neck, modest sleeves, just above the ankle, floral prints. It's so dull and drab.

I haven't bothered buying dresses this year with the awful summer we're having so don't know how widespread it is.

Beatrice at Wimbledon today along with Sienna Miller and Myleene Klass, in what looks suspiciously like a wedding dress.

I'm not keen on Beatrice's dress, the pattern doesn't look great to me. Sienna looks good and I like the contrasting collar and cuffs.
Perhaps Myleene was getting extra wear out of her wedding dress!
