I know the laureate who went in with Princess Sofia!

How exciting! He has quite a moustache! Who he is?

Max does look great, I'm not sure about Amelia's hair, nor the overall look.

I agree with you there. Those ringlets on the side don't look the best.

I am usually a lurker but thought I would share these of Princess Anne from my grandmother's home town (not my own photos)

Lovely coat, brooch and smile.

I love the fact that Victoria's dress seems to change colour/shimmer depending on the lighting.

The Swedish tabloid fashion "experts" are clutching their pearls over Victoria and Madeleine's "etiquette breach". Apparently you are not meant to wear the sash over bare skin. However I'm pretty sure it has been done before in the past decade. Perhaps the senior royal women have decided that it's time for some new etiquette.

The Swedish “experts” have very poor memories!

I know - right?

Seems the Royals are just ignoring it at this point.

Camilla and Charles had a performance from the Military Wives and Royal Household choirs, and Felipe and Leti are on a state visit to Italy.

Cams looks good, that green is nice on her.
Leti - a rare fail. It's all a bit 1980's power suit pink.

Maireas · 11/12/2024 22:30

Nice shade of green on Camila. I don't like Leti's outfit, the colour, fit and style are all wrong.

C&P from NMR
At the invitation of King Willem-Alexander, the President of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, is undertaking a two-day State Visit to the Netherlands.

Max looking v festive in a ruby red feathery number. Also just realised she has to leave her hat on at dinner. Which must make for awkward conversation for the person sitting Pringle adjacent.

Cams is holding the two presents in a rather unfortunate way. 🎁🙂

And the lady next to Leti needs to get her trousers shortened.

KillingMeDeftIy · 11/12/2024 23:29

That's Giorgia Meloni, Italy's PM!

Letizia is wearing a very un-Letizia skirt suit.

I like the suit. The skirt is the type/style Fergie should start wearing

Leti does look a bit like she is playing an attorney in LA Law ca. 1988

Perhaps the pastel power suit is due a comeback!

I do beg her pardon! 🫢

I know, I can't work out why it's not quite right, I think it's the proportions.

gingercat02 · 12/12/2024 07:55

Has Max not worn that Pringle hat and the coat somewhere else? It's a gorgeous colour.
My etiquette knowledge is obviously lacking, but is a hat at dinner not odd?

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 12/12/2024 08:10

It looks like it might be a lunch - it's light outside. But ladies can wear hats indoors/at dinner anyway because they're considered part of one's outfit. I suppose if it's not a tiara occasion she might sometimes feel a bit naked without her enormous jewels! Pringle to the rescue!!

Georgia Meloni looks rather unfortunately like her legs are encased in two rolls of brown paper! I think the colour of Leti’s suit washes her out and there is too much going on in the sleeve area.

Camilla looks fab. Love the green and the sock boots. She looks really well pulled together. She looks like she’s having fun too

KillingMeDeftIy · 12/12/2024 09:37

Letizia's suit looks like something Kate might've worn a few years ago when she really leaned into the 80s revival!

I would've preferred it if it was a bit more 60s Jackie O-style.

I would add that have been soaked by a passing car driving through a muddy puddle.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 12/12/2024 09:40

It's all wrong. The long jacket with that long, but not long enough, skirt makes her torso look really, really long and her legs, really, really short. The skirt needed to be shorter or longer in order for it to look ok.
