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!

You went back 9 years @KillingMeDeftIy? I will have to take another look. I only went to early 2020 but she had dresses of various lengths, patterns and formality levels including a minidress, business suits - both with trousers and skirts, quite short shorts and so many different colours. My memory of Kate's dressing is that she is nowhere near as diverse. Kate likes something and sticks to it for a while - nude court shoes, pants suits, Emilia wickstead dresses etc

I loved her reaction to someone wearing the same dress as her when she was giving them an award. I think that happened to Mary once too.

It goes all the way back to Letizia's wedding @Choux! Though it doesn't include that many photos of her time as Princess of Asturias. Beardless Felipe looks like a schoolboy!

I think with Kate, once she likes a look she commits to it wholeheartedly and rarely wavers. The padded headbands, then the floral dresses (which tbf were on trend at the time) and last year she developed a love of pantsuits to rival CPV! If she does the Sandringham walk this year then I suspect we'll see a bow somewhere on her ensemble.

You mean 'Leti at a journalism seminar reflecting on how her life could have turned out if she hadn't met a prince.'

Lovely photos of Queen Silvia and her grandkids receiving the Christmas tree. Estelle is so tall now!

Some beautiful photos of Leti. She has always been slim thin but she is much more muscled in recent years, so perhaps that has impacted her boobs, hence the possible chicken fillet
I have decided she really doesn't suit that pink/lilac she wears. A stronger colour is definitely better on her.

No one wears red as well as Leti does.

I love Leti's Majorcan pics, they conjure up a romantic, dreamy vision. I do like being warm so perhaps it's just the distant memory of being warm that makes me like those looks!

I like this outfit of Max's until I saw it with the coat, and then it looked too long.

And Mary in a Christmas jumper

Agree about Max's outfit 'pooling' at the bottom, otherwise it is lovely.
Love Mary's jumper. Christmas chic!

I love Mary's Christmas jumper! I want one 😻

I love Estelle's outfit, boots and all! She is getting very tall.

Are there any royal Christmas cards this year. Did I miss them?

I love Estelle's red outfit and the boots.

She looks so grown up - hard to believe she is only 12!

This is Charles' and Camilla's card.

Nothing yet from William and Kate.

Harry and Meghan's has a whole thread of its own

Yes!
I used to be a journalist myself, regional paper level not TV like Leti, and I was thinking when I posted that about how many of my friends and former colleagues are still journalists, or have gone into related fields such as PR/communications/marketing. So assuming it’s the same for Leti, I was wondering how guarded she has to be when chatting to them or whether she can trust them enough to speak freely.
I wonder if her career is the reason she’s disliked in Spain, maybe the way Meghan as an actress was given a hard time in the UK. Because deep down perhaps people don’t consider them suitable backgrounds for someone marrying into the royal family.

Am I allowed to be irrationally 'peeved' that Charles and Camilla didn't use my favourite 2024 picture of them for their Christmas card? 😊

Christmas lunch tomorrow. I think we usually get some fairly blurred photos of the royals in their cars but fingers crossed we might see a little bit of what they are all wearing.

That's a very cool red outfit, love the boots. She looks great.

That is a really lovely picture of C&C.

Oh it is

Mmm..I think Cams got stuck in a bit of a rut silouhette -wise
