This is a better look on Leti, imo. The coral Mango top is a great colour and I think it works with the patterned skirt and Magrit shoes and bag.

The skirt gets a thumbs down from me. Nasty visible seam down the front: on her budget QL can afford to get the (not very inspiring) pattern matched at that seam. The overall colour palette is also a bit too hot for my personal taste.

I like "hot", bright colours, especially in the summer, and I think the colours in the skirt go well with the shirt.

I like the colours but agree about the seam.

I'm not averse to hot colours, but some combinations just look unbalanced to me and Leti's outfit is one of them. Can't quite put my finger on the reason. It isn't as simple as lack of green, because I've liked prints which have exclusively hot colours on a black background. Something to do with having a white background? Or the inclusion of yellow in the mix? It just jars.

I don’t think that’s a great picture of Camilla. Her hair is usually nicer.

What would that José Hidalgo skirt retail for approximately- I know it’s 2023 season.
I agree the seam is odd.

Grace Kelly was so beautiful.

Morning

I like the idea of Letis outfit but think the skirt colours need to be stronger. It almost washed out.

Letizia really is Queen of the high street! She and her daughters love a bit of Mango or Zara.

Just catching up. I quite like the photo of Camilla because her hair is a bit mussed up. It seems casual and relaxed.

I like the colours in Leti’s outfit (agree the seam is a bit of a let down), but my problem with it is that the blouse seems a bit “heavy” and out of season compared to the skirt. It might have been better with short or no sleeves

Yes, a plain cap sleeve silky top would have looked better I reckon.
Love Cam's twinkles and relaxed look, very modern to be so informal.

It's nice to see an older woman looking so natural. There's such a huge pressure now on women in the public eye.

Princess Anne’s Wrap Dress Is One of Her Boldest Looks Ever https://share.google/zxX7sxEncQhLbscxG
A different look for Princess Anne. I rather like the wrap dress, it's softer and less severe than some of her looks. She's wearing what looks like the Prince Albert brooch, but I read that it's a reproduction, gifted by the late Queen. It's a beauty.

I do wish she’d change her hair. Im sure she doesn’t give a stuff etc etc. but I think its probably in really good condition and would love to see what she looked like in a different style.

I don’t think it looked in good condition in that photo, it looked backcombed to death! The wrap dress was a good departure for her.

Set to record if you like princess Margaret 9pm tonight

Hers and hers sapphire and diamond brooches. The late Queen’s is the Prince Albert brooch. This was Anne’s 50th birthday party at Windsor. The sapphire diamond and pearl choker was once Russian Empress Marie Feodorovna’s.

Thanks for that, @Choux . Anne looks really lovely there. I think that dress could do with another outing, it looks good.

Love the wrap dress, don't like the wintry blue gloves or the heavy dark shoes. It wouldn't be PA though if everything was matchy matchy!

Yes, I agree, although that post was referring to the dress in the birthday picture with the late Queen.

Whoops, apologies!

No worries 😁!

Anne likes her blue clothes. The brooches are beautiful.

Daisy, Benedikte and Anne-Marie are holidaying together at Graasten Palace which holds many happy memories. Lovely to see the sisters still close especially now that they are all widows.

Also a look at Anne-Marie's Greek ruby tiara/parure, along with a lot of interesting history, and some gorgeous throwback photos.

Lovely pictures of the sisters. I like the one where they're standing together. Nice summer outfits.
