Royals in Costume

In the spirit of Halloween, here is a special thread of royals in costume, from the simple to the grand.


Guests to King Gustav and Queen Silvia's 25th wedding anniversary were asked to don period costumes, and what a step back in time the party was! Here, the King and Queen, their daughters Victoria and Madeleine and Princess Lillian pose in their lovely costumes.

You are right, Alexandria. They attended that event with the prince and princess of Wales.

Elizabeth played male roles, but I think she could have sounded a bit odd, with her voice....

I wonder how was she dressed at William's birthday party, but I'm afraid we'll never know.

Here she's performing a (female) role in Old Mother Riding Boots, December 1944.

Hey, Hey!

It's sunday, it's beautiful weather but you can't sit in the sun all the time. So I have decided to surf on TRF and look what's new.
I noticed that there is no thread about the masquerade(do not know if this is the right word) of the royals and I think it is a good idea to open this thread were we can post pics of royals in masquerade.

Here are pictures of the royals from the silver wedding of King Carl Gustaf and
Queen Silvia. They had a motto and almost everyone wear historic gowns:

Corbis: photography, rights, motion.
Corbis: photography, rights, motion.

Do not find any other picture in the moment, but I think we will find more in time.

Queen Silvia and king Carl Gustaf attend a costume party at a government building close to Stockholm, 18th September 1997. The host of the party was government president Ulf Adelsson, who had asked the guests to come dressed up in costumes from the 18th century.
