The blogger "Royal Fashion News" did a December round-up of some of her favorite royal outfits.  Thought it would be fun to see if anyone has any comments to add.

 

RFN liked:

 

Queen Letizia of Spain in all red.  The coat is Carolina Herrera.  She looks great.

The off-white dress with camel coat slung over it is fabulous.  I even prefer it to the red.  Pretty shoes too.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands  wearing an interesting combo of colors in the burgundy range.  How do you feel about those two colors together?   I like the cape style coat.

She looks radiant-- what a necklace!   The shades of her outfit look a bit different here due to lighting, I suppose.

I think RFN blogger's favorite was Catherine, the Princess of Wales' look, in a Needle and Thread number.  I especially love the softening lace on her slim figure.

And a cute casual look in this woolly Alpine sweater--

Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway, at one of the Nobel Prize ceremonies.  That clear red she favors is striking with her flaxen hair.  It's a coat dress by Catherine Walker, who used to dress Diana, Princess of Wales.  My only quibble might be with that particular style of hat.

RFN tends to jump back and forth in time, and this example she gave that she admired of Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, is from a few years ago.  It is so stately.

That antique diamond cross is breath-taking.  You could almost miss the stunning ruby brooch on her sash!

More recently, in emeralds...

Elegant.

Princess Charlene of Monaco is a standout in an ombre dress.

Nice to see her taking a more active role after her illness.  Her sporty Mia Farrow/Jean Seberg pixie haircut is darling on her.

To me, England's Sophie, Countess of Wessex, is looking very glamorous here.  Love her long cream coat paired with wool turtleneck...

Pulled-together Sophie again, flanked by equally chic Queen Letizia and Princess Charlene.

They all look so regal.  So beautiful and well groomed.  Beautifully groomed hair and makeup, great posture.  i would like to have the clothes but not sure I am up to the rigorous schedules, not only their work but their beauty regimens, which they have.

Queens Letizia and Rania are my favorites in the beauty and fashion department. In my youth Diana was THE style icon, but I also was drawn to her down to earth and kind personality. No modern day Queen or Princess comes close, imo.

Queen Letizia has a wonderful sense of style.  I think Sophie has the best style of the British royals.  Her style really appeals to me.  I think she always looks wonderful and appropriate for every occasion.  Kate is a beautiful woman and wears clothes beautifully but I think her choices are confined by her position.  I am glad to see her in that gorgeous red lace dress which is a bit less conservative than some of her clothss.  She has a fantastic figure and looks good in everything she wears.

I like Victoria's first tiara ... with the red gown.  Now that's a very dressy tiara I'd like. 

 

All I would need is just another tiara, casual, to wear with jeans, while running errands.  lol

at least it might be fun to be princess for a day or week and have a lovely makeover!

These Royal ladies are beautiful. Who wouldn't want to be a princess 👸?

 

On a humorous note, we cruised on the Golden Princess to Alaska on our honeymoon. DH started calling me his little Princess......thus I started using OK (I'm from Oklahoma) Princess.  Sounds silly now all these years later 👵🏼🤦🏼‍♀️

Kate in the turtleneck sweater is my favorite.

All so attractive!  So many beautiful clothes, handmade of course!  I especially love the long gray coat.

 

Love her tiaras.  I think this may be my favorite!
