Thanks! Hoping for some great spring fashion!

Just catching up with Meghan's outfits on the previous thread. The less said about the olive shift dress, the better, but I like both black ensembles. She really suits an off-the-shoulder neckline.

Sophie looks really good in the pleated skirt - hair and makeup are on point too.

Thanks for the new thread.

Thanks @Maireas 😊

Hi friends! Thanks @Maireas
Love, love, love Sophie's black and white white outfit.
Meghan looks fantastic in jeans. Don't like the olive dress with tights and neither the all white ensemble.
I like the off the shoulder black trouser outfit.

You are a very worthy successor to @QueenoftheAndals💐

Thank you @Maireas.
I really like Sophie’s black and white outfit, I think that’s maybe the best she’s looked! The proportions and cut are perfect for her. I quite like Meghans white outfit but that’s all, the navy and gold buttons looked smart but the shapeless olive with black tights is not flattering at all. I actually like olive mossy greens so it’s not the colour really, just makes her look very boxy and her legs too thin.

Thank you @Maireas for the new thread.

Loved Meghan's navy dress but don't think any of the other outfits have been quite as successful.

Would the olive shift dress have worked any better if it was knee length rather than short?

I think a shift dress like that really needed no tights and different shoes. She has very slim legs and so it just looked like a box balanced on two pins. A statement necklace might have worked well with it. Needed to be more edgy.

Maireas · 16/04/2026 13:40

I think the problem for me with the shift dress is the colour.

Oh, I have just seen a reel of Sophie getting out of her car in that black and white outfit, stunning, the skirt falls so beautifully, a FB page called Mark's London Reels, he seems to follow the Royals everywhere in London.

Oh gosh that olive shift dress outfit does nothing for her at all. It doesn’t fit well and as others have said the dark tights and shoes maker her legs look painfully thin.

However I love the black off the shoulder outfit . And her scraped back pony tail look is great too.

smilesy · 16/04/2026 13:47

I quite like the colour of Meghan’s shift dress. I like all kinds of olive green and khaki. I do think, however, it looks a bit dull as just a shift dress and agree it needs blinging up a bit. The black tights don’t work at all though and do, as pp said, make her legs look a bit Shaun the Sheep

themessygarden · 16/04/2026 14:25

I think it’s been downhill for Meghan since the blue dress, I had high hopes after she debuted that. Is that black off the shoulder and tight pants a ‘’nod’ to Olivia Newton John?

Chesticles · 16/04/2026 14:31

Princess Elisabeth of Belgium has turned 18. I like the column dress. Can't really see much in the other photos. I don't think much of the photographer actually, its like a bad soft focus 1980s magazine shoot.
