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!

The Dutch royal family's Christmas card is hilarious. Wax is giving a speech at the UN, Max is off to a summer wedding, Amalia just graduated, Alexia didn't finish getting dressed and Ariane shoulda caught the bus!

Goodness! I'm going to say that it's a bit of an odd graduation picture, and an even odder Christmas card!

My guess is No 5 from this list - burgundy county!

I think Camilla may wear brown. Zara will be bouncing along in something more unusual if she's there.

Zara will be bouncing along all trussed up in something that looks like 2010s Karen Millen!

I think Kate will go for green with a hat that has something sticking out of it.

I'm about to get up and get on with the day. We celebrate and eat our Christmas dinner today, so I'll wish you all a very merry Christmas and thank you all for excellent company again (although I've not posted so much this year). How ever you celebrate, enjoy! 🎄🥳🥂

Enjoy your day, @frugalkitty 🎄 🎁!

Merry Christmas @frugalkitty . A hat with something sticking out of it did make me laugh!!

I remember my Grandmother (I'm in my 70s) always wore a hat when going out, usually secured with a ferocious-looking hat pin (the 'something sticking out') which came in useful if a young man ever overstepped the mark. This usually meant touching anything apart from her hand though adult family members were allowed to kiss her cheek if invited. Gosh, it was a different world! Merry Christmas everyone 🌲

Merry Christmas, royal fashionistas! I have serious coat envy from all the links, I love most of them and would happily wear them all myself (if I had the budget, the storage space and about a stone less round the waist, lol). My favourite christmas coat was the 2016 burgundy 👌🏻

Merry Christmas! ❄️
I do like that shade of deep red.

My grandmother used hat pins. I thought she stuck them into her head.
still not completely sure where people do stick them into

Double breasted alert!

Leti at the Princess of Girona awards in a Hugo Boss checked trouser suit. Baggy trousers, double breasted jacket.... I'm not keen and don't think it's a flattering look, although I know it's current.

Oh no they’ve got to Leti too!

Seeing the photos of Catherine & Charlotte’s hands playing the piano, made me realise I hadn’t appreciated just how big her engagement ring is. It really stands proud from her finger. I would be forever catching it on clothes etc.

I loved the video of Catherine and Charlotte playing the piano together. Charlotte's jumper and kilt looked chosen for warmth.

That's a lovely video. I love Charlotte's outfit. To me she looks so like the late Queen.

I know nothing about the Wales family but it seems to me that they are excellent parents.

And yes from the angle of the video that a hell of a ring!

Just watched the video and agreed it is such a nice message, well delivered.
They both look lovely. The smiles between mum and daughter are gorgeous.

Just watching the carol concert now, agree about the ring, it looks big normally but at that angle it really is a whopper, no wonder she often leaves it off. Imagine trying to get gloves on and off with that on.

Yay!
It’s brown (ish)

Oh I’m not keen. Nice hat though ( including a sticky up bit!)

The Queen looked smashing leading at the front in red.

Camilla looks good in red but everyone else has gone for brown and beige and I'm not keen.
