In the current events thread about Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien a discussion started about the Princess. So maybe it would be nice to give the couple an ´opinion´ thread of their own so we can elaborate a bit more on this. To get the discussion started I will re-post Mandrakes last post:
Please note that this thread is NOT the place to discuss all the particulars of Laurentiens wardrobe. We have a thread for that at ´Royal House of Fashion´. You can discuss the suitability of her wardrobe in general for certain events and her status.
Without doubt Laurentien is a nice lady, good mother and wife and very nice to be with. I just don't think she has a very royal style of clothing. Whenever you are representing your country and Queen you should do your best to dress to impress. Its like a card de visite. People expect Princesses to dress in a true Royal way. The snobbery thing seems to have a long history. According to Dorine Hermans and Danielle Hooghiemstra in their book Vertel dit toch niet verder, Laurentiens grandmother was very eager to have her son Laurens Jan get acquinted with the Dutch Royals.
