I absolutely loved the Queen’s headpiece.

Maireas · 25/10/2025 16:55

Paul Costello and Philip Treacy will be needed for a suitable inauguration presidents inauguration outfit. And a top hairdresser.
My only hope is that a trained barrister can read and understand legislation. And she does smile a lot and might be good at sports things.
Liam Neeson is still my choice...Shame he wasn't a candidate.

Well he does have a very particular set of skills...

Could you find my winter hand bag instead?? I can't remember where I put it when I changed over to a summer bag and it has something in it I really need this week.

Oh dear. Cupboard under the stairs? Spare bedroom? Bottom of the wardrobe? The pixies took it and hid it?..

WarrenTofficier · 25/10/2025 20:55

We haven't got a cupboard under the stairs, I'm scheduled to spend tomorrow tearing the spare room apart. Have already checked bottom of the wardrobe/shelves at the top of the wardrobe.
I think you could be on it with the pixies.

The Spanish Royal Family are weekend casual in Asturias. I like Sofia and Letizia’s jackets a lot.

Nice and casual and toasty

Personally I think Leti has overdone the facial tweaks. That picture reminds me of the wraith from Stargate SG1 for any sci fi fans.

Why are the jackets so short this year I'm trying to find one for my grandson that covers his bum in wet weather. This year it's all bomber jackets.

Royal children seem to hang out with their parents for a lot longer than us plebs. There’s no way my kids would have come on a casual weekend in Asturias with us at that age.
other royals are the same (Denmark)

Yeah, but I suppose if you're the Princess of the Asturias, it makes more sense.

It's all part of the job, being part of "the Firm" as the BRF like to call it.

Maireas · 26/10/2025 17:23

True. Job and family, intertwined.

Not true. DS18 said this year on holiday when I asked if he actually enjoyed being on holiday with me “totally, you’re paying and we go to awesome places, loves ya” then plugged his music back in utterly ignoring the view over Lake Garda.

Princess Kako visiting a ceramics centre.
I'm not usually keen on large prints, but I rather like this and think she carries it off. I'm not sure about the border along the bottom, though.

It was a working weekend. I don’t really understand what it was all about but some place in Asturias seemed to have won a prize presented by Leonor who also gave a speech. They met a lot of people from the town. I think this has been happening every year since Leo who is the Princess of Asturias was a child hence the whole family going. Eventually I guess her sister and parents will stop going and she will start attending with her husband and children.

KiIIingMeDeftly · 26/10/2025 21:29

Leonor certainly seems to take her role as heir seriously, for all that she's not even 20 yet. She's done her army and navy training so must be airforce next? And then maybe university?

Same here. Both DC (20 & 18) regularly check in on my plans and tag along 🥰
