She's not giving up her furs!

Nope! 😊

All three sisters wore furs.

Queen Sonja was there too. She and Daisy are good friends.

Daisy did the costume design and scenography for this production of the Nutcracker, that's why she was onstage.

She's a very creative person.

Mary is clearly creative too - on the Danish Royal family’s instagram account there’s a video of how she’s had a tiara frame made for a rose-cut diamond belt (to be worn around a tiny corseted waist I think) that was part of the Crown Jewels collection. Essentially creating her own version of Maxima’s diamond bandeau tiara. Clever!

@Serenster I just watched it and came here to say! It's lovely and I hope she wears it for the NY gala dinner.

The Monaco RF go for a beige look on this year's Christmas card

....and perched on a candlewick bedspread? Or is it an ermine throw!

I really don't like William's beard.

KillingMeDeftIy · 03/12/2024 15:29

William needs to commit one way or another, either shave it off or grow it out into a proper beard. At the moment it just looks like he's been lazy and hasn't shaved for several days!

Sidebeforeself · 03/12/2024 15:47

Who on earth staged that photo? Putting them in ascending order of height!

I looked at William's beard today and thought how much more growth there was since Remembrance Day. It is gradually getting thicker. He likes it and after the year he's had I'm cutting him slack.

Grimaldis - nice bedspread, lovely picture, but a bit muted for Christmas. Come on, it's the one time to have bling and bad taste.
William's beard... just no. Really. No.
It's nice to see Kate again, but Deftly - you're right! Definitely cabin crew!

The Emir's wife is only 39 but looks the same age as his mum Sheikha Moza! Same cosmetic surgeon??

Could be! Perhaps the surgeon that's done a few other royal ladies...

Something about her long coat and flicked hair reminds me of Mrs Pontipine from In the Night Garden.

Snort!

The staging in that photo is SOOOO bad. The backdrop, the curtains, the height order. I know it's probably some random room at Stansted airport, but still...

I love it.

Eaumyword · 03/12/2024 18:21

Haha, oh no, the size order cabin crew photo is a bit unfortunate!
I think Char looks casually fab and I wish I could emulate that slim casual style. Not gonna happen until they prise the tin of Quality Street out of my hot sticky hands though and diet me hard.🤷

Can you post a link to this? It sounds interesting...

MotherofPearl · 03/12/2024 18:54

I like Kate's boots today. I'm pretty sure that Max has a very similar pair that I covet.

This should work - there’s a picture of the original belt on a gown in a portrait too. Another post has the video.

Kate has made an appearance to greet the Qatari royal family in the colours of the Qatar flag. Burgundy really suits her and the cut of the coat is unusual but all I can think is that she's moonlighting for Qatar Airways as the cabin crew uniform is the same colour! https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/03/uk/uk-royals-qatar-emir-visit-kate-camilla-intl/index.html

Not being unkind but Catherine is terribly slim.
