Royal Style: Diamonds are a Queen's best friend..

[Maireas]

Evening all! Thanks to Tracy Beaker for the new title!
Roll on some bling and style, though it may be a while!

Charlene seems to be growing her hair - I must say I prefer it longer - her short hair can look quite severe.

Otherwise I'm not keen on this outfit and obviously it's an immediate 100 point deduction for the white shoes.

As always, I'm worried for Albert's buttons!

Here are the details of the changes that have been made in relation to the Norwegian Royals:

Previously

The Royal House - consisting of the royal couple, the Crown Prince couple and Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

The Royal Family - other members of the family included Prince Sverre Magnus, Marius Borg Høiby, Princess Märtha Louise and her three daughters and Princess Astrid.

Instead, the "Royal House" and "Other Royal" categories are now used. The 'King's family' still consists of King Harald, Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

The second category, "other royals", now looks somewhat different from the previous category: "Other royals" consists of the other three with royal titles: Prince Sverre Magnus, Princess Märtha Louise and Princess Astrid.

(Terrible translation and some terms may not be exactly accurate in English but it shows how the members of each category have changed)

Albert looks like the children's grandad. Trying to recall how old he is

66, apparently.

Charlene's blouse is giving me vicar vibes.

Yes, those women vicars who like to choose pastel shades.
It's nice to see Charlene looking well, and the children look lovely.

Not keen on Char's outfit. She suits ice blue, but the proportions are all wrong and I'm not keen on the cream/white/blue teaming here.

Was Shaman D ever a member? Maybe since the wedding? In which case possibly a new record for the shortest spell as a member of a royal family.

Just be glad Norway's change to the succession laws wasn't retrospective otherwise that would eventually be Prince Consort Durek to you!

😮😂
I think that would be the end of the monarchy in Norway!

Lady Amelia debuting a new hairstyle (and launching her own wine range), Zara at the Burghley horse trials, Sofia in her first appearance since her pregnancy announcement, and Eugenie wearing an unflattering dress or possibly also pregnant.

Zara looks so good there! Casual chic. Sofia looking lovely, as is Amelia. I agree about Eugenie's dress, the sleeveless high neck isn't a flattering shape on her.

I thought I'd read that Beatrice was pregnant.

I think the colours really suit Eugenie.

Mary was out and about today too.

Eugenie's dress is very pretty, I love the fabric, and the colour.

We're nearly ready for another thread! I think there was a title suggestion, but I can't find it.

Amelia is the Kents' granddaughter isn't she? I can see the resemblance to the duchess.

Yes, I always think she looks like her grandmother, who has always been an elegant and stylish woman.

Eugenie’s dress looks much better in that shot. And I love Mary’s.

Falling leaves moving into autumn with the Royals?

It was something about Max's monkey nuts.

I saw that dress unbelted. I suspect the fabric moves and flows more attractively that way.

It was, wasn't it!😂
