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!

Lovely to see the picture of the Kents. And thankfully someone seems to have located Edward's luggage and he's got his own suit back. Sophie's looked nice on the Malta trip - summer dresses and skirts/blouses that suit her so much better than some of the more recent trouser/blazer combinations.

Mary is absolutely nailing it at the moment - she's barely put a foot wrong and a really great mix of rewears and new outfits.

Got to love Fergie and her exuberant style but goodness me those skirts, trainers, sheer tights, boots and military jackets do nothing for her. Opaque tights and a pair of chunky loafers would look so much better.

Fergie needs a good personal shopper. But it's great to see her looking well.

Catherine making a surprise appearance in Southport today. In an on trend burgundy dress. Can’t find a photo that will load at the moment 🙄

Found this photo. Can’t find one of her full length standing up

Nice to see Kate out and about. Her dress looks nice. I hope she's warm enough.

Glad Kate’s doing an engagement - I do like my royals in pairs. Edward and Sophie together is really nice too - I know they probably can’t get through enough charities if they’re together all the time, but I like it. Surely more fun for them too.

I’ve just got round to watching the Wales’ Gladiator video. I thought I couldn’t bear to because the stills were a bit much but I didn’t find it as bad as I thought I might. The voiceover dilutes some of cheesery. I don’t need any more though - I like them when they’re trying to beat each other in races or when Kate repeats his comment on her (gorgeous) yellow dress; “William says I look like a banana.”

It's nice to see Kate back, nice look, even though I'm not keen on brown.
William's beard 😣

I'd like to see more of Kate's dress. I'm not keen on her brown coat I'm afraid.

I like the matching burgundy

I would like to have seen the burgundy dress but can't blame Kate for keeping her coat on to sit in the garden.

Must be very hard to know what to choose clothing wise when you are meeting very recently bereaved families. I read that there were private meetings with the victims' families.

Oh, I would love a chocolate brown coat, but I suspect that one might be out of my budget.
They both look great, just watched on the news, and everyone was delighted she was there.

Kate in new rings shocker! DM suggests a new eternity ring.

My youngest sons girlfriend likes rings stacked like this.

It's pretty.

Mary and Frederik at a gala dinner tonight at the US chamber of commerce in Copenhagen

Fergie popped up on This Morning - in sheer tights again, while Eugenie was out and about in London.
Also Mary unveiling Christmas stamps and Max at a business conference.

Has Max had a haircut? Looks good.

Sophie at a reception in Malta. I'm afraid I really don't think those maxi floral dresses do anything for her. Also, a linen floral dress seems an odd choice for an evening reception.

There's a lot of frock in that frock!

Lots to see!,
My take is that Fergs looks quite good (but I don't like sheer black tights - a bit Melanie Griffith in Working Girl.)
Mary continues to look ridiculously stylish.
Eug looks totally washed out and unstylish. Sorry Eug as I'm sure you're new mum knackered, but you need lovely bright jewel colours to jazz your skin tone up a bit! 🥴
Love Max as ever. It's an interesting outfit on her - not her best look but not her most bonkers either.

Not sure. It quite often looks a bit straggly, I think.

Ah yes, I don't think she has cut it - was just blowing back behind her shoulders in that first photo.

I finally worked out why her hair appears in poor health by looking at her parents. It's over processing to look a light blonde.

Max's mum looks like Olivia Coleman playing the Queen in season 2 of The Crown!
