Royal Style: monkey nuts or emeralds? The discussion continues...

[Maireas]

Hello! Join us for more witty, interesting and informative chats about royal style and beauty!

Oh dear! You'd feel obliged, wouldn't you!

I mean I'd definitely appreciate the love and effort that went into it (if I liked the woman, at least).

Advent Calendars for each of the grandchildren.

Sorry, that's a bit of a derail from the wedding.

I really don’t like the peach colour of MC’s dress. I don’t think that colour suits anybody.

Daisy is very talented and some of those handbags are really stylish (others are a bit too “folksy” for my taste.

I hope Daisy will be ok 🤞🏻. A fall at an older age is never a good thing😔

Yes @smilesy if I were Marie I'd be thinking, really?? First that ring and now this bag?? 😉😄

I don't like MC's dress and I don't think the colour suits her, as you say ice blue would be nicer @KillingMeDeftIy

Oh I hadn't noticed the high collar. I need to look at photos more closely! I'd've liked it a lot more with a lower collar. Possibly jewelled, beaded or sparkling in some way.

Ohhh I love the advent calendars!

The bags might be a bit stressful if you've planned an outfit for and upcoming event then bamm you are given a bag that doesn't at all go but you think you will be expected to use it. Easier for the royals that can wheel it out for a few hours at an event the next time you are wearing something that vaguely matches but if you are a maid you know you will have to have it at the forthcoming posh frock night and either clash or have to rethink what you wearing.

For some reason I can't get the link. I'm using the Mumsnet app.

A bit Star Trek 😂 is a fantastic description.

I mean who wouldn’t want to be presented with a ring with a handy reminder of one’s own flag

Is that really Marie's engagement ring? I wonder what Alexandra's was like? Margrethe was apparently very fond of her and she was popular with the Danes.

Joachim designed it himself, bless him.

Red alert: man designs engagement ring himself.
😬

Poor Marie. I'm okay with the stones tbf - I don't mind the flag thing, it's quite a nice touch. But it's rather a knuckle duster of a ring, isn't it! Would have looked much better in a more refined setting.

Ooh yes. That is a meaty ring 😆

Poor Marie indeed. It really is a hideous ring imo.

That is a horrible ring. I think I'd be leaving it in the royal vault for very safe keeping and popping down to Beaverbrooks (or whatever the Danish equivalent is) for something else to wear!

Has anyone noticed her darkened fingers?

Not a great photo, but a great look on Mathilde - Dior - for an outdoor mass with Pope Francis.

Me for one @ArdMhaca
Green, white and orange.
An emerald, a diamond and a spessartine garnet.
No thanks 😀

@deeahgwitch did you get the links working or would you like me to try to post them again?

No the link for the bags didn't work for me but the one for the Advent calendars did.
How thoughtful of you @AllTangledUpInMyMonkeyNutNecklace

I like Mathilde's suit. Tres chic.
