"Kungligt Snygg"
"Royal Style - Queens of Fashion and Princesses of Style"
by Ebba von Sydow

This book will be released on 1 April. It is in Swedish but an English version may be published later.

Here is the publisher's blurb:

Fashion journalist Ebba von Sydow, 30, has reported on royalty and fashion for 10 years, as an editor at Sweden's evening paper Expressen, glossy weekly Veckorevyn and Sweden's largest television channel, SVT.

With "Royal Style" she makes a colourful, inspiring, picture-packed delving into the phenomenon of royal style: a style characterized by power, elegance and class. Royals of today have also become important players for marketing their nation's fashion.

"Royal Style" is a beautiful book filled with hands-on style tips on the best basic garments and how to build a royal good wardrobe. The book portraits Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, and Princess Máxima of the Netherlands.

Ebba von Sydow also analyses royal style icons such as Farah Diba, Grace Kelly, Princess Margaret and Princess Diana.

Apparently there already is a thread for this book but anyways I'm going to write/answer here.

My sister has this book and i have quickly flipped it through. It is a gorgeous book! Lovely pictures of princesses, well researched it seemed. Can't wait to really read this book with time!

It contained sections of Mary's, Maxima's, Victoria's, Grace Kelly's and Mette-Marit's style (I probably have forgotten someone) . Formal and more casual. There was also top 10 brides and some section about few queens (Elizabeth II and Silvia are the ones I remember) and little princesses ( few lines with a picture of Ingrid-Alexandra, Isabella and few others)

There was also many pictures of the author herself Ebba von Sydow. I have never been a fan of hers, but I guess if one manages to write a book it's okay to have one's own pictures in the book aswell :). One thing that puzzled me was why there was no style-section about Letizia? It seemed weird not to include her, felt almost like something was missing.

All in all it seemed like a good book!
