The end of summer lies ahead, but we're hoping for more bling!

I like that dress, quite muted pastel shades, the shape suits her and no espadrilles! I didn't realise it was such a female run company, she often wears those designs.

What do you mean? In that picture from MasterChef?

Yes. Someone said she looked
different but the poster couldn’t figure out why. I suggested she might have changed her teeth.

Some lovely pics of Sophie at the Royal Welsh Show on Tuesday - her hair is relaxed and flattering and the dress really suits her (sorry, technophobe can't get silly Samsung to do pics).

I’m not keen on Leti’s dress as I think the colours are a bit muted/dull.

I do love a pretty summer frock, the fabric crossed are her torso is very flattering. The shoes look adorable 😍

She did look lovely. A summery look.

I like the shaping of Letizia's dress - flattering, not over fussy and makes for excellent cap sleeves. The print is rather muted and an unusual choice for her, but I'm in favour of variety and I suspect that in real life the subtle colours are lovely and very wearable. I've enjoyed Letizia's fashion this summer because she seems less prone to ghastly, swollen puff sleeves than most. She also seems to share my belief that, by definition, a 'summer dress' doesn't have full-length sleeves.

Love Leti’s shoes. So much better than the black espadrilles! I don’t mind her dress but it’s a bit “forgettable” iyswim.

I love Sophie’s hair in that shorter style. It really suits her. Not massively keen on the dress though. The pattern is nice and summery but I think it makes her look a bit droopy of nork and it’s too bloody long again 🙄. She does look really smiley and relaxed

Tracked down Letis shoes 💗

The queen of the Spanish high street strikes again!

Pallisers · 25/07/2026 16:05

Has anyone ever seen Sophie in real life? i suspect she looks way better than in photos (not that she looks bad in photos and her style is great at the moment)

leti must have a hell of a stylist/buyer on staff - she does high street and designer so well. maybe he/she is married to Felipe's tailor - imagine their children!

Elizabeth looks great - what an amazing shade of green. The bride's dress reminds me of Pippa Middleton's and she looks very happy. Not sure about that tiara though - it reminds me of chicken poppers on cocktail sticks!

Maireas · 25/07/2026 18:26

Yes, it's hardly the most elegant of tiaras, but I expect the light caught the diamonds beautifully. You're right about Pippa Middleton's dress, the lace top with a high neck and short sleeves. She looks gorgeous. She's related to Phillippe. The groom is royal as well.

Elizabeth's Maje dress is on Vinted for some reasonable prices if anyone fancies it. Wrong shade of green for me, unfortunately.

Here's Max at Pride in a truly insane hat! But if you can't go big at Pride then when can you?? https://www.newmyroyals.com/2026/07/queen-maxima-officially-opens.html

That colour really suits her

Maireas · 26/07/2026 08:39

Max looks very appropriate! I would have been disappointed had there not been flamboyant head gear.

I have always loved that hat - Maxima wore it (and the dress as well) when she attended Ascot a few years ago.

frugalkitty · 28/07/2026 17:48

Not of fan of the royal wedding dress, it's very shiny. The tiara is rather lacking, it's a bit like Sophie's wedding one. The groom looks like another royal groom but I can't place which one, Nicolas of Greece maybe?

KiIIingMeDeftly · 28/07/2026 19:49

Yes, that's it - like a slimmer version of Nicolas!

Maireas · 28/07/2026 19:50

Perhaps they're related!
