I’ve just been looking at the lovely pictures of Queen Margarethe’s 70th birthday celebrations; lots of Europe’s Royalty there with their beautiful gowns and tiaras looking stunning, and I wonder to myself, where has the glamour gone from UK’s Royal Family?
If they ever have a birthday celebration, e.g. Prince Charles’ 60th, all we ever see are photos of guests arriving in cars.
The Europeans seem to celebrate Royalty; the English seem to subdue it.
Rarely do we see them in full regalia, apart from the odd State Visit and even then it seems the same old crowd; The Queen, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duchess of Gloucester, and don’t get me wrong, they do look lovely, but what about The Countess of Wessex and Princess Anne? Rarely do we see them in a tiara.
And what about Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie? At their age Princess Alexandra (also the granddaughter of a Monarch) was being seen out and about looking glamorous in her tiara. Princess Margaret too.
Of course the Royal Family will not want to go back to those days when Princess Diana outshone everybody, but she did look lovely, didn’t she?
The European princesses always seem to be out and about looking tremendous in their tiaras and jewellery; why can’t our Royal Family show a bit of glitz and glamour now and again?
I recall Sophie looking absolutely stunning in an orange shot pink gown; she can look fantastic when she tries. It was good to see her and Prince Edward with Prince Albert and Charlene; I wasn’t so fond of Sophie’s outfit this time, but she always makes an effort, it’s just that we usually see her in daytime clothes. I’d just love to see her in that fabulous tiara that she wore when Prince Albert became Prince of Monaco (the one with the really big aquamarine in it).
It seems a shame that none of the BRF went to Queen Margarethe's 70th celebrations.
