Re: the Swedish opening of Parliament above you might be interested to learn that the royal women always wear black and white as a nod to the old court dress, which was introduced in the 1770s by king Gustav III with some twists and turns. It was last worn in full form for the opening of Parliament in 1974, and Queen Silvia has reintroduced it for some formal occasions since the -88 (but in blue and white), but for parliament she laid down the law of black and white after a few years of experimenting. See pics in this article from Svensk Damtidning https://www.svenskdam.se/kungligt/kunglig-kladkrock-riksmotet-mardrom-sofia-madeleine/8759583

Extra tidbit: the lady-in-waiting in the blue court dress in the photo is currently implicated in a civil court case where the man who was supposed to inherit one of Sweden’s last entailed properties found himself kicked out of uncle’s fold quite suddenly when uncle was old and possibly getting doddery (hence court case) and the property was left to that lady and her husband instead. Very dramatic actually. She is one of Silvia’s main gals. I don’t remember what the title is in English.

WHO WORE IT BEST 😂😂😂

Sonam's oldest brother is known as the Dragon Prince, which I think we can agree is the best heir apparent title!

That is the best title! Bar none.

It makes Queen Jetsun the Mother of Dragon(s) too, which is most excellent 😀

Maireas · 14/09/2024 22:28

Even better!

Even though we have 800 posts to go we need 'Mother of Dragons' in a future thread title. 😊

Maireas · 15/09/2024 13:59

Noted! 🐉

KillingMeDeftIy · 15/09/2024 15:48

I think she is actually called the Dragon Queen!

Maireas · 15/09/2024 16:15

Love it 🐉 👑!

Max looking extremely glamorous and stylish here imo. She's head to toe in Max Mara. Love her pearls.

Very subdued for Max, but she looks beautiful. Her hair, makeup and jewellery are great.

@MotherofPearl I hope you will name change to MotherofDragon for the next thread. @AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras did for this thread although I note she has now changed back.

Great idea! Grin

Max looks great there.
Would she be having a few tweakments ?
If so, I hope not too many.
Her face is so expressive.

She looked awfully tired before the summer break. The threats on her daughter must be stressful. Maybe just chilling for a few weeks has helped

Maireas · 16/09/2024 10:34

I hope so, what a dreadful thing.

Harry and Meghan at a charity tennis tournament in LA. I really dislike that style of dress - collared and sleeveless - but Meghan wears them a lot so I guess she likes them. Love her sandals though. And the green and white outfit of the woman next to her is quite fun.

Yes, it's all very tennis, isn't it? Quite fun. Harry not wearing shorts, though!

OP posts:
RomainingToBeSeen · 16/09/2024 17:56

I don't think that dress does Meghan any favours to be honest. It looks shapeless and as if it can't quite decide whether to be a short dress or a long top. The heeled sandals are lovely.

KillingMeDeftIy · 16/09/2024 19:22

I love those Aquazurra heels. And they aren't stilettos either!

smilesy · 16/09/2024 19:32

Love Meghan’s shoes. Really don’t like the dress. It looks like an oversized shirt with the sleeves cut off. I think in another photo I saw it’s a sort of seersucker fabric. And the colour is that vile beige again. I think Harry looks nice though

justasking111 · 16/09/2024 20:09

Wonder where Harry is partying. If I was him it would be on a super yacht, well offshore so the paparazzi can't get pictures.

Has Max had hair extensions, do you think? It looks fuller and longer than in recent photos, she seems prone to the odd straggly end sometimes. I agree that she does look very polished and glamorous here!
