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!

Oh Lordy! Just had a look at it. I’m not sure if it’s the colour or the word calligraphy message in the back that offends my eyes the most 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😂😂

Perhaps the combination?! 😄

Delphine's suit

Mathilde is, I guess, what many would regard as a pretty conservative, even stuffy
dresser. But to me anyway, she looks smart and dignified, whereas I'm afraid Delphine looks absurd.

Delphine's outfit. 😮
It screams "Look at me."

Delphine has chutzpah, I’ll give her that! Most people would’ve been happy with just the acknowledgment and maybe the title but she has decided to show up at all public occasions too. And in outfits like that there’s no missing her.

Delphine, wow that suit is something isn't it?

Dh has an elderly friend who worked for the consular service.
She told us the Prince Philip chaired a conference session on conservation and spoke without notes at the end...so was a listener and thinker.
She also said that Diana was very well briefed and spoke intelligently to everyone.

That's interesting, @eggandonion . I think Diana gets a bit unfairly judged, still. She worked on a lot of good things towards the end.

Prince George is 11 today
Great photo taken by Kate

What a nice picture, he's looking quite grown up now.

I love this

On July 21, 2024, King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, Crown Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel, Princess Eleonore, Prince Emmanuel, Prince Laurent, Princess Astrid, Prince Lorenz, Princess Delphine, and Jim O'Hare attended the military and civilian parade

Poor Jim O'Hare. He's the only one who's not a king, queen, prince or princess.
He must have felt a bit out of place.

😂Poor Jim! At least make him an honorary Archduke or something

I agree @Maireas poor old Jim even his & Delphine's kids are Princess & Prince

Ah I think Prince George looks lovely, and he shares my birthday too!

Happy Birthday, @Pandaandpurple ! 🎂

Happy Birthday too @Pandaandpurple 🎉

Happy Birthday @Pandaandpurple 💐🎂🧁🍰🎉

You share a birthday with a Prince and a Count - you're practically royalty!!

We should start a petition.

Happy birthday 🎉 🥳 @Pandaandpurple

Great picture of Prince George. He suddenly looks very grown up.

Yes he really does.

As promised

Here is the link to Prince Henrik and Gråsten Kitchen/Garden.

The English translation is a little clunky but it's easy enough to follow. I have linked to it here before, I think, a few years ago so it might be a repeat for some of you

Thank you 👍

Beatrice promoting sun safety to school kids in a Me+Em dress, Leti on an engagement, and Meghan dining out with a friend.

Beatrice looks nice - I think Chanel flats? Meghan is wearing my favourite kind of look for her, a classic and she wears it so well. Great combo. Leti's dress I am less sure of, I think maybe the pattern dominates somewhat.
