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

That's interesting, it's a set. I like the bracelet, we can see it on Meghan further down in that article. Incidentally, the photo where Meghan is in a green dress and wearing the set is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for the information from the court jeweller re the earrings @justasking111
I’m not so keen on the bracelet- what are the dark stones please ?
Are they sapphires like the earrings ?
It’s not clear on my phone.
I agree @Maireas that the photo of Meghan in the green dress wearing the earrings is beautiful. She looks so lovely.

Maireas · 09/08/2026 08:02

The Court Jeweller seems to indicate that the earrings are diamond and sapphire (very Diana) although the blue stones on the bracelet don't look like that, do they?

No they don’t @Maireas

justasking111 · 09/08/2026 08:24

Could be cabouchon cut sapphires on them. Not a finish I like.on a gemstone

I think Haz could do with a cummerbund. He looks a little scruffy.

A dinner jacket ALWAYS needs a cummerbund. I have spoken!

Leti looks great. Gorgeous look on her. I do have fashion envy for those floaty white dresses dresses. I could never wear one, as I would sit in melted chocolate or spill coffee or diet coke down the front in no time.

Maireas · 09/08/2026 14:35

I like Leti's simple white dress and sandals. Leonor looks gorgeous, the dress, hair and makeup are on point. Sofia the Elder and Younger both looking good, but the dress on StY isn't quite right is it the fit? Off the shoulder is tricky. All the women look great though.
Felipe seems to be feeling very nationalistic with his Espana polo top!

Sofia's dress is apparently one that Leti and Leonor have worn too so it's doing the rounds. Perhaps Felipe will wear it next and won't he look lovely!

KiIIingMeDeftly · 09/08/2026 15:10

Queen Sofia is living her best life, first in her caftan/housecoat and now out to dinner in her PJs. And why not be comfortable, right?

Right 👍. Goals.

I'm always impressed with the sharing of outfits like that. I do hope Sofia the Younger isn't at the back of the queue.

I much prefer the necklace with the cabochon ends than the butterfly pieces themselves - the butterflies are just a touch too twee for me.

The dress and Meghan’s whole look is a win though. She looks lovely. I also love Leti and Leonor’s dresses in Mallorca. Sofia the Younger (I love that!) seems a little swamped in her borrowed dress, though.

Pallisers · 09/08/2026 16:06

leti's white dress and sandals are just perfect. I agree leonor's hair and makeup are gorgeous.

I had wondered if QS is quite well atm? On the recent photos and a video I saw the other day, Leonor and Sophia have been providing lots of support to her.

Not sure about Fillipe's polo shirt tbh - it seems a bit out of kilter with the other outfits (a bit like when I spend ages getting ready to go out and DH comes downstairs in his jeans saying "I'll be all right in these, won't I?"

Maireas · 09/08/2026 16:23

Could be that she's just a bit unsteady, she's 87.

Love Leti’s dress and the wee bag is cute.

justasking111 · 09/08/2026 16:57

Leonor's dress is Desigual my friend used to wear their pieces a lot. I always admired them

justasking111 · 09/08/2026 17:45

KiIIingMeDeftly · 09/08/2026 17:25

No, it's a brand called Babbaki, which I'd not heard of before.

Sorry Sofia is wearing Desigual.

Recklessismymiddlename · 09/08/2026 18:06

I used to wear a lot of Desigual when younger thinner. Love the clothes. Especially the summer dresses.

RomainingCalm · 09/08/2026 21:25

I’ve just been looking at the Babbaki website too - lovely summer dresses and Leonor is my favourite ‘young royal’ at the moment. If Felipe had walked past me in his polo shirt I’m not sure I would have recognised him. Leti looks great - I am also very envious of anyone that can waft around in white dresses without a hint of dirt, coffee or lunch down it.

Maireas · 09/08/2026 22:08

Yes, I was looking at that website, some lovely dresses.
