Royal Style: A Double Breasted Safari Suit? We need to discuss...

[Maireas]

Hello style mavens, let's continue the chat...

Kate's long bodied, like me. Pretty much all we have in common. Jumpsuits tend to be a bit tight, although she could deal with that unlike me.

Just catching up. I like Camilla in glasses, she should start a new trend for eyewear. Hate Charlene’s dress and (half) tiara - there’s something about it that’s all a bit wishy-washy. Maybe it’s the picture. Don’t like either of the pink outfits (I am properly grumpy this evening) but I do like the burgundy suit and trainers on Queen Sofia.

I can absolutely see Kate in the Talbot Runhof dress that @Chouxposted - it looks very similar to some of the Jenny Packham ones that she’s worn before. it’s stunning.

I’ve never seen this and I love it so much!

I love Angela Merkel’s gift, that’s brilliant. 😀

And equally, I think that’s the worse outfit I have ever seen Leti wear (and that includes her skirt with the leg hole). Not just the 2020s does the 1980s does Edwardian, but with fussy embroidery on the bodice too. Come back Alessandra Rich, all is forgiven….

Yes, I agree! That and of course, the skirt with the hole...

A tale of two greens...

A very Kate look on Charlene (love the saucer hat) and a slightly mad sleeve on Maxima but would we expect any less??

Maxima link didn't post but here it is https://www.newmyroyals.com/2025/11/queen-maxima-visits-mobiel-primary.html

Very nice, Emilia Wickstead - definitely a Kate look on Charlene, including the colour. I really like the hat, a little veil on it would look good, à la Meghan. I'm not sure about the shoes though.
Max's outfit looks quite bright in some pictures, it's actually quite nice, front on. She didn't go wild on the jewellery and accessories though, which is a bit disappointing.

There's a lot going on in the top half of that outfit, so maybe that's why she didn't go big on accessories!

Still. It's Max. 😉

Also true!

Charlene looks lovely, but Albert shows himself to be the anti-chic yet again. His short coat looks like a 1960s car coat, or possibly that he had a long coat that he decided to shorten himself.

I love the style of this dress but I don't think the colour does Charlene any favours as is seems to make her look washed out. Also I think the lipstick is too harsh with a neutral - almost barefaced look.

The tiara looks like a pared down version of the one Kate wore at the Coronation - the idea is good but it gets a bit lost in the general neutral palette and the red sash.

Whenever Charlene wears washed out colours I think it reflects her mood. When she's happy her clothes reflect that. That's my theory anyway.

Please can someone post Leti's Skirt With The Hole - I feel I've missed out....

I'll try to find it.

Here you go.

It's meant to be worn with your leg going through the hole!

Even better 😁

It’s amazing that didn’t catch on as a trend 😀

I'd just look like I was drunk when I got dressed and did it by accident.

😂👍

I like Charlene in the green, but her black double-breasted overcoat looks too big and drowns her a bit. Albert looks as though he's wearing a donkey jacket, just needs some shiny shoulders and a shovel to accessorise.

That's quite...something 😳

I thought it looks like an ironing accident.
Just cut the scorched bit out hem it and bingo! Good as new (almost).
