Haya should hire some good styling advisor. Every time she shouws up in a western dress it's a mess. Her arabic dresses are beautifull but this ones she had in UK are terrible.

If you check out P.Hayas gashion thread, you can clearly see that she does work with a stylist on a few outfits. Her style has gotten better but I dont agree that she looks like a mess everytime she is in Western cloths. Many of her Ascot outfits have been great hits IMO.

In her last apperance with Sheikh Mohammed her outfit seems to be matching his tie :D

IMO this is a nice dress on her. Wearing thick belts around the waist area, distracts that area while bring attention to other areas....like her knees. Now I thought knees and arms should not be shown? The color was dark on her, however she looked better with light blue rather than a royal blue.

I think her hat is too wide for her. IMO she would look much taller and gracer if she preferred smaller hats. On the other hand, her dress is not very bad, but I think she could make changes in her day time fashion so that it can match with her young age better. Last but not the least, I loved her make up. :flowers:
 
I think she looked lovely, her husband and the other prince, look like "fixer uppers".
 
Here is a video of Sheikh Mohammed, sheikh Hamdan and Princess Haya at the race, also a part that shows the royals meeting with Queen Elizabeth.
I didnt know Haya curtstys to the Queen.

nice video...haya looks vibrant...
 
I am a big fan of horse racing and I regularly attend races or watch them on TV. One thing that I always like are the women's hats, some are really beautiful and some are just funny. It's always cool to check out the dresses and the hats of the women at horse races. The Epsom Derby is one of the most interesting events in the horse racing world and I try to watch it every year, of course Belmont and Kentucky are also top events.

They had a winner but the big race, the Epsom Oaks, was a disappointment: Blue Bunting only came third and jockey Frankie Dettori dropped his hands when realizing she wouldnt win and subsequently picked up a 10 day ban, missing part of Royal Ascot. Tomorrow in the Derby Godolphin will have the outsider Ocean War, but everybody wants the Queen to win anyway with Carlton House.

That presumably includes Sheikh Mo as he gave the Queen the horse as a gift according to papers?

Yes, it would have, they swapped horses and he refused to take any money what makes it a gift.

Sheikh Mo likes to make such gifts, New Approach won the Derby in the colours of his wife Princess Haya, he gave the colt to her as a gift as a 2 year old.

Frankie Dettori, Goldophin's stable jockey, is usually annoyed about those gifts because he misses out on the rides.

It's a great gift especially since the Queen is into horses & racing :)

At the Epsom Derby day 2, Sheikh Mohammed, Princess Haya and Sheikh Hamdan met with HM the Queen

I am surprised to see that Princess Haya gave HM a kiss on the cheek and got away with it.

I remember when Ernst August did the same thing and was crucified by the british media for lack of respect. Or Michelle Obama, whe she touched HM on the shoulder:

If I remember correctly Haya has always been curtseying to the Queen then a kiss on the cheek. I think it could be the different closeness of them to the Queen. It's said the Sheikh Mohammed and Princess Haya are close to the Queen therefore I think the curtseying is for respect and the kiss for their friendship.

True, cause Haya just gave her one kiss then the Queen kissed her twice, so the Queen wasn't against it.
 
I think it was a very sweet gesture and it`s also different if a man or o woman gives her a kiss on the cheek...I still don`t understand why the media made such a fuss about Michelle Obamas touch on the shoulder... even the queen is a human being and I think everybody needs to be hugged or touched sometimes ( I am not referring to anything sexual) and kissing cheeks or hugging is a very normal action in Europe between people who know each other.They always give cheek-kisses in France even if you just met somebody.
btw, I think Haya looked great in that outfit:)
 
Does anyone have a closeup of Haya with that huge white flower? She looked magnificient,I like the way she wears her hair!

I´m curious why Majed stayed in the background...I hope he won`t "disappear" like Rashid!

Actually, in the first pic you can clearly see from the expression on the Queen's face and the way she's leaning forward that she's about to kiss Haya.
As for Ernst August, it has been mentioned in several places on this forum that he was allowed to kiss the Queen because they're related.

thanks for the great pictures:) To me this was Princess Hayas best European outfit ever (she has always chosen beautiful Arabic dresses/kaftans).I love everything from the flower to her shoes. I think big flowers are a real trend this summer as I´ve seen quite a few royals and celebrities wearing them!
