Royal Style: Welcome to the Court of the Dragon Queen!

[Maireas]

Welcome one, welcome all!
A new thread for all fans of royal style and beauty. May the wit and entertainment continue!

@Maireas if you click on it, her head is there, but I have to admit I thought it was a headless queen to start with 😂

Oh, is it?! I thought it looked strange.....

It’s a “bobble head” 😆. ETA so her head is overly large which is why it looks like the bottom of a dish 😂

My mistake I hadn't scrolled right enough. It's a lot of money for one bauble.

Tis the day for Nobel Prizes - bling and tiaras

The Swedish RF have arrive at the Concert House for the prize giving

Madeleine looks incredible in that green dress! CPV and Sofia look good too.

The Norwegian royals are there too.

Meanwhile happy tenth birthday to Jacques and Gabrielle with new photos released for the occasion.

I read in one of the Swedish papers that QS and CPV had to tone things down at the Nobel banquet this year because of official mourning for Princess Birgitta.

I love Princess Madeleine's tiara - so pretty

.... and according to the latest news they are having goat cheese and fruit as a starter

They are a hilarious pair. Someone needs to introduce them to Prince Louis!

The twins look happier and more relaxed than at engagements.

The twins look so sweet!
The Nobel dinner...is that gold cutlery?

I think it's goat cheese and beetroot. Full menu:

Goat cheese from Östergötland filled with lovage.
Served with Swedish beets, honey and quince glaze,
along with roasted pumpkin seeds.
Quenelle of chicken, Swedish legumes and autumn truffle from Gotland.
Celeriac glazed with miso on Swedish broad beans
and a cabbage bouquet with taste of herbs and apple.
Served with a modern cultural creamed steel-cut barley
with wild and cultivated mushrooms,
Jerusalem artichoke and roasted chicken jus with Pomme de Vie.
Variation on Swedish apples. Terrine made from caramelised Frida apples.
Brown butter cake made from tiger nuts flavoured with spruce shoots.
Cream of quince fruit and thinly sliced apples with chamomile.
Served with ice cream made with pineapple weed and punsch liqueur.

I love the photo of Gabrielle with her arm draped on Jacques' shoulder. She seems to have a really confident and mischievous air about her.

The main course looks very ... um ... beige

Of course. Surely everyone has gold cutlery at home @Maireas?

I'm not keen on Queen Silvia's dress - too shiny and I don't like that weird flounce thing at the front. CPV looks amazing as always in eveningwear, and Madeleine's green dress is gorgeous. Nice to see some tiara action.

Okaaaay (sets Sat Nav to MotherofPearl's house)

It will 'only' be gold plate, solid gold is way too soft to make functioning cutlery.

I'll manage

Needs must and all that.

😉

Dessert looks nice.

Am reading a lot of snarky comments about the creamed barley porridge that was served instead of potato with the main course.

Now have mental image of @Maireas wirh a bendy knife trying to cut a steak 😆
