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

Shame about the weather, I saw a picture of Felipe looking a bit glum in a plastic poncho ☔

The Borbons held a reception for the winning Spanish football team, I think Leti's dress is a rewear, but a nice, strong patriotic red. Leonor and Sofia decided to wear the footie shirts, and I'm impressed that they had identical half tucks!

Queen Letizia in patriotic red for audience with Spanish football team

King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor, and Infanta Sofia received the Spanish football team at Zarzuela Palace after they won the UEFA EURO 2024 European Championships on 15 July 2024. Queen Letizia wore a red Carolina Herrera zip-front dress.

He was looking happier when he finally left

Youngest DD uses the phrase "your cartoon character outfit", based on cartoon characters that are nearly always drawn the same so she would use it for me if I'm in striped top & jeans, her dad's would be navy polo and chino shorts. Anyway, getting to my point, the Royals in that selection of photos are all pretty much in their cartoon character mode. Apart from Max who looks like she's trying to Max up her Team Netherlands blazer with several orange accessories.

Maireas · 27/07/2024 09:22

@Mencia - glad to see him looking happy! It was probably quite fun, we can all be caught looking a bit miserable!
I've never seen Felipe looking anything other than smart 👍

Can't edit my comment, just to say I wear much more than striped top jeans but that's what DD thinks I wear most therefore it's my "cartoon outfit" Grin
Love the 12 years apart photos of Leonore & Sofia.

Inheritance of titles and estates is one of the exemptions from the Gender Recognition Act. It shows that legislators know very well the difference between a man and a woman when they choose to.

That might be something to do with "bloodlines" ie being able to have a baby.

The Dutch royals supporting their country in the Olympics.

The caption is in small font but it says the lady at the front is a skateboarder.

What a lovely picture, and a good show of orange, although Princess Alexia seems to have missed the memo!

Papergirl1968 · 27/07/2024 22:14

Perhaps she thought it might clash with her hair!
Tbf, orange is quite a hard colour to wear.

Papergirl1968 · 27/07/2024 22:15

I’m not having a go at redheads, I hasten to add. Her auburn hair is lovely.

Maireas · 27/07/2024 22:23

Yes, it's that very bright shade. When you see the Dutch football fans together, it's quite something.

Meghan spotted at the G9 Ventures Summer Summit on Friday, July 26. It was based in the Hamptons.

I saw that photo in the DM and didn't recognise Meghan @PrettyFlyforaMaiTai

Chewbecca · 28/07/2024 15:40

Very Victoria Beckham.

RockaLock · 28/07/2024 15:52

Same here @deeahgwitch - I also didn't recognise her.

The outfit has potential to be nice, and yes, very Victoria Beckham, - but it's too creased, and the trousers are too long (again!) so overall it looks a bits scruffy to me.

It's been lovely to see so many Euro-Royals at the Olympics. It's a shame that KC /PoW couldn't attend, although Princess Anne was a good choice - just no fashion interest for us there!

Runningupthecurtains · 28/07/2024 15:56

Crumpled and ill fitting - it looks like they had sold out of her size so she grabbed the next size up.

smilesy · 28/07/2024 16:12

It’s yet another meh colour as well

smilesy · 28/07/2024 16:13

I like the Netherlands orange. At least it’s cheerful 😆

DuchessOfPort · 28/07/2024 18:47

Serenster often points out the Victoria Beckhamish-ness of Meghan and it’s bang on.

She looks nice anyway - I have a sneaking feeling she could look better (jeans, white shirt: 👌) but she wears it well if a bit swamping.

Maireas · 28/07/2024 18:55

I've never noticed the similarity to VB before, but I do see it in that picture! She does suit a halter neck and favours neutral shades. The trousers are wide and loose, but that's the trend. Love her sunglasses.

I don’t like Meghan’s outfit.
The Dutch royals are cheering on their team again.

Excellent! Max is looking after her feet! Colourful lot.

I knew you guys would have been spotting the euro royals at the Olympics! 😂
That was the best bit, spotting Mary&Max and co.
I can see the look Meghan was trying for (Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy/Hamptons beige chic) but like pp pointed out - it's too voluminous, crumpled and a bit costume-y. And why the need to go backless all the time?!
