Royal Style: More Summer Bling please

[Maireas]

That caught me by surprise! We had a flurry!
New thread.

I think she is stalking my DH, badly. That's the third time I'm aware of that she has either visited a base DH is stationed at but away from on the day of her visit or that he has just left.

Oh wow, Catherine has completed the Three Peaks Challenge. Rocking the gore-tex!

That really is an achievement. I hope she wasn’t wearing her high heels! Seriously, that is a gruelling challenge so well done to her.

Good on her, a friend of mine completed it this weekend too. Hopefully there'll be a massive upsurge in donations to the Royal Marsden.

Excellent 👌. Great achievement, great cause.

Fantastic achievement. 👏🏻
Well done Catherine 💐

That's quite something!

More details of Anne's dress.

Was it you who said it looked Edwardian, Deftly? Very true, it's definitely very 1910.

It is so Edwardian! I love the colours, really soft and pretty.

It really is so pretty 😍

Very Edwardian, very pretty.

I love that photo of Catherine atop Ben Nevis. Who among us who grew up in the UK or Ireland doesn't have a photo in a grey mist grinning through the rain.

Look if I can still fit into the same clothes I wore 42 years ago I’m damn well wearing them too.

I’m a fan of wearing clothes for as long as possible. I have recently lost weight and am delighted to be able to re-wear a top and dress both of which must be 20 years old and now fit again. I had one pair of healed (sp.) boots I bought from C & A in the 1980s that I only gave to charity in 2020 when I regretfully realised my knees would never allow me to wear them again 😂.

I love that Anne has always reworn clothes and hope she will continue to do so.

💯

Hete are the Monaco family at a German theme park.

I like Charlene's white shirt dress, it's not too severe and looks cool. The twins look very sweet, semi formal, and nice to see Aunt Stephanie with them.

Maxima has opened a battery park at a power station named after her(!) and has gone for a bit of a swinging sixties vibe with her ensemble. Though I initially read that as a power station in Battery Park and wondered why New York was naming a power station after a Dutch queen!

Stephanie holding onto her title of Tannest Royal Ever there!

Very 80s!

How lovely to have a power station named after you! Another Natan creation, I rather like the fringing and am slightly disappointed she didn't get the matching fringed clutch bag as well! Groovy baby.

Has Max worn that green dress before? I feel like I've already seen her in it for some reason. Maybe she's worn something similar before.

I think that crown may belong to Princess Birgitte of Sweden later in life, when she lived in Spain and played a lot of golf: https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2022/01/princess-birgittas-tiaras.html

Yes, I knew it! Rotterdam, September 2024. I think I prefer it the first time with her hair down and no hat - the informality is a better match for the dress imo.

i agree with you
I loved the pink dress on the lady with her.
