Royal Style: Hoping for Yuletide shimmer, but not too many green coats!

[Maireas]

Evening! Just setting up the next thread in case the other one fills up!

Vogue certainly approve!

Not a fan of the brown but I absolutely adore her suede handbag - I went online but it is sold out :(

She's not carrying a handbag - is that from a previous engagement? The DeMellier one?

I just came to say something similar after reading the thread title. We should be careful what we wish for!

Oh the one in the vogue article - Manu Atelier

Just realised it wasn't hers!

Absolutely!

Brown does not suit Kate. Why does she keep wearing it?

I think it’s a really strange thing to do.. head to toe brown for several engagements

I'm not keen on brown, but she looks very elegant, I like the coat and dress. Plus, it's a very current colour! The Vogue article was very positive.

I love brown (it goes well with my colouring) so I am loving that it is having a fashion moment. Both skirt and dress are lovely.

I'm happy to have the gold heart from today's engagement

Yes, that's really gorgeous.

Not keen on so much brown and the coat shoulders are a bit too Star Trek for daytime.

My very first Christmas with Mr Self ( before we were married) he bought me 2 brown shirts, 2 pairs of brown jeans and a pair of brown boots. When asked why he replied “You never wear brown..” Yeah, there’s a reason for that!

Instagram I've just seen Maxima training for the army reserve. Sheesh she's fit. I am lost in admiration.

I'm sure he's lovely in other ways, but those gifts.....🤔

Yes, I saw that Maxima was training with the army reserve. It'll be a brave nation that attacks the Netherlands.

Hmm, I beg to differ. Brown actually suits most people. It’s a neutral that is less harsh than black. I think it works best in luxurious wintry fabrics like wool and (faux) fur and leather and suede. It’s not that far from burgundy and a lot of people
seem to like that on her 🤷‍♀️

I love brown, but..
Really want Kate to wear more of the beautiful jewel colours or pastels that she looks so good in.
I think her latest outfit is nice individual pieces, but not sure it all goes together.
The euro royals are such a good example of looking modern and stylish, but also appropriate to the occasion.

The Euro royals are a bit of a mixed bag, to be fair!

Dont worry. A lesson was learnt that day!

😂

Hi - came to talk about Maxima's reserve enrollment. Half laughing about what Mary's response is going to be. Anyway, found a picture of Max

That's a great picture.

Omg I wouldn't mess with her 😆
Rocking army fatigues though!
