Royal Style: a day starts well if it starts with Mary of Teck.

[Maireas]

The next thread, royal style mavens! The title suggestion was from our last thread. Mary of Teck was never knowingly underdressed or less than bejewelled!

Good call!

Also, not long until the Trooping of the Colour.

Trooping all the way to the tennis?

Is the Trooping next weekend?

ETA: this is a question, not a suggestion for a thread title!

William gave a speech at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in Monaco this weekend, urging for protection of the ocean floor. Here’s a nice photo of him and Crown Princess Victoria greeting each other - Victoria appropriately wearing blue!

Yes, next Saturday. Charles won't be on horseback for the first time because of his health problems.

That's a nice picture! They look very friendly. Also, it's a great thing to get involved with.

Ooh - I do enjoy the Trooping fashion!

Was the Armed Forces Day dress really £6k? I can’t find it listed with a price as it’s 3 years old now but this dress features more embroidery than Leti’s white one but was half that price at £3,600 original price. I find it hard to believe Leti’s cost £6k three years ago.

sorry for the long link.

I don’t know, to be honest - I was just quoting an instagram/blog post that stated a cost of £5.8k. But it could be wrong, of course.

I just knew it was a lot more than €54! At first when I read your post I was thinking wow, Leti got a bargain if she’s found a CH dress for that price! but then realised very quickly you were probably talking about a different dress

I don't think he was on horseback last year either - I think he arrived by carriage and it was William, Anne and Edward who were riding

Right, I must have been looking at images from 2023. I don't blame him, it's a long time on horseback if you're not 100%.

You think Charlene and Albert are loving not being the most awkward couple in the room for once?

Yes.

The Monacos seem very much more relaxed at engagements just now (although Gabriella does manage to look a bit fierce in some of the pictures).

I love Charlene's red dress but I'm a sucker for 'Leti-red' outfits - I wish I had the occasion to wear them myself. I also liked this black and white dress that she wore for Day 2 of the visit.

That's a lovely picture. I wonder why the children are barefoot? Gabriella's dress is lovely, and I like Charlene's as well. Charlene is looking so well and relaxed of late, which is nice to see.

It's not very clear from the photo but they were visiting a swimming pool and meeting young swimmers as part of the Princess Charlene Foundation.

They don’t look like Charlene’s children to me!

You are very naughty 😂

Haha!!😆
Char looks great.

I don’t think they are

Lady Marina Windsor is engaged, so there could be some good wedding fashion there. She is RC, so at a different venue to most Windsor weddings..

We can't really see the ring very well.

I thought that!

meanwhile, the other Fred has thoughts about the Big Day.
