Royal Coats of the Week: February 20

Royal Coats of the Week: February 20

Comment   
We've reached the point in winter - at least in my neck of the woods - when I begin to lose all hope of ever being warm again. Can humans hibernate? I'm investigating. Until then, we indulge in another edition of the Royal Coats of the Week. It's the only logical thing to do.
Here's Letizia's entry, a chic white number. This is a very luxurious look, and I'm all for it. (I know some of you are going to say it looks like a bathrobe, but hel-lo people, what is more luxurious than that?! More excuses to wear bathrobes in public, that's what we need.) Tangential to today's topic, but I will also show you the outfit underneath the robe coat:
The King and Queen opened The First Picasso exhibit, among other engagements.
This is my favorite version of her high-waisted full black skirt yet, I think. Kicky.

Naturally, Leti's white coat reminded me of another white coat we've seen recently:
The Duchess of Cambridge visited Portsmouth last week.
From She of Many Coats, Kate, comes this Max Mara option, the same model seen previously on Princess Eugenie. Liked it then, liked it now, can't go wrong with a winter white. Underneath (below) she sported a boat print dress from Alice Temperley - a bit literal for a nautical engagement, I think, but fades into a generic print from a distance.
And this week, she added another Max Mara coat for our consideration, this time in a blue to complement the Seraphine floral dress underneath (which we have seen previously):
This week, she visited the Emma Bridgewater factory.
I'll take any and all of the above, I'm not picky. Even these are a dream when the temps bottom out. Reality is a little more like so:
The Swedish royal family has been attending the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. Click here for a gallery.
But without the fun ski competition to distract. SIGH.

Royal Birthday of the Day: September 15

Royal Birthday of the Day: September 15

Time for a Prince Harry day!
Not only is it his 30th birthday today, but he's just wrapped his greatest accomplishment yet: the Invictus Games. Organizing the competition for wounded warriors (inspired by the Warrior Games in the United States) has been, by all accounts, a labor of love for Harry, and it turned out to be a tremendous success.
The Invictus Games make everybody happy! Including a photobombing Crown Prince Frederik, who came to support the Danish team.

Harry's been all over the place in the past week, sporting his casual prince uniform of jeans and a polo shirt or fleece. I do love Casual Prince Harry. I also love Soldier Prince Harry and Suit n' Tie Prince Harry, but I'm telling you that no prince does casual prince as good as Harry does.
Right? (Sidebar: I love that Charles doesn't even try the casual route. He knows he'd be all kinds of wrong in jeans and a fleece. Stick to what you know.) Do feel free to celebrate the birthday boy with your favorite version of Harry in the comments below. A celebration for us all...

Royal Outfit of the Day: August 7

Comment   
The Spanish royal family posed for the press at the start of their summer holidays at Marivent Palace in Palma de Mallorca.
I would hide behind the girls too, if I forgot to change out of my pajamas before a photocall. Smart move, Letizia.
Leti's drawstring trousers from Hugo Boss. I was dicey on these when they appeared in a fancier fashion, but paired with a simple v-neck tee...nope. Well, not for press business, at least.

Royal Family Gathering of the Day: June 13

Comment   

Video: The Danish royal family gathered at their French residence Château de Cayx to celebrate Prince Henrik's 80th birthday.
My favorite dress on Mary? Nah. Mostly because I am generally opposed to wimpy belting. Not a bad number for lounging around one's château, though.
The maxi dress is from Ilse Jacobsen, available in a variety of colors
It did give the whole family picture a bit of needed color, so credit for that.


We also must mention that there's a new portrait of Prince Henrik out in honor of his 80th. By photographer Jacob Jørgensen, the photo art depicts Henrik riding a unicorn. OH YES. See it, plus an article on the intentions behind it (basically, Henrik has a good sense of humor and a great love for art, and the idea comes from one of his own artworks) at Royalista (link). Not only does this totally capture the spirit of Henrik (and is really well done), but frankly I'd be more interested in royal portraiture on the whole if more mythical creatures were involved. Where's my picture of QEII fighting a dragon, artists of the world? Hmm?
