Mon regard s'est tout de suite porté sur la robe d'Eléonore dont l'imprimé vert apporte de la fraîcheur à son look en cette période estivale !
ReplyDeleteThe Natan dress looks great on QM, love the colours and fit. Congratulations to PE, such a smart young lady and of course it is nice to see her family there to support her and celebrate her achievements. She looks cute in her school outfit
ReplyDeleteI just saw an interview of CP Elisabeth with the Belgian media in Oxford. There are beautiful pictures and video's in my online newspaper. I wish to share (I'll try) one of the most important pictures. Fashion is not important today but the milestone in the life of the princess is.

Thanks for the link @anon at 18:38, what a great picture of mother and daughter!
DeleteThank you for sharing the link!
DeleteThanks for the link. Great to see the extra information about the Princess's time in Oxford.
DeleteThank for link. Surprise that Elisabeth was named Saxe-Cobourg. In Belgian she is "de Belgique".
DeleteDear Anon18:38
DeleteBig thanks.👍
In Belgium she is called "de Belgique" or "van België". She followed the Royal military school in the Dutch language and on her uniform her name was spelled Elisabeth van België. On the other hand her brother Gabriël who is still at the Royal military school and who is also following the lessons and training in Dutch his name on his uniform is Gabriel van Saksen-Coburg. In Oxford the family name of Saxe-Cobourg has the priority. Princess Delphine's official family name is also Saxe-Cobourg. That is the problem when you live in a trilingual country and international the French version has priority. It has also been said that in Belgium the king, the queen and the crown prince or in this case the crown princess only must use de Belgique or van België. The other children must use de Saxe-Cobourg (if the French version is required) or van Saksen-Coburg (if the Dutch version is required). And the real family name is von Sachsen-Coburg as the first Belgian king, Leopold I was a German prince.
DeleteWonderfull pictures and interview!
DeleteElisabeth seems to be so free, elegant and eloquent in her addressing the press people, lovely to watch.
( makes me a bit jealous actually, being Dutch)
Very nice proud family. Natan's outfit color is nice, but it's not a good fit for her.
ReplyDeletePrincess Eleonore looks simply wonderful in this dress! Her height and slim figure perfectly suits the light breezy style of the outfit, including the rooched waist and uneven hemlines. Few can wear this as elegantly as she does (except possibly the Infanta Sofia), and her youth makes it all the more attractive.
ReplyDeleteI like Mathilde's re-wear of her dress too, though the pleating adds extra thickening to her waist. Might have looked better if she'd omitted the belt.

Well said.
DeleteAda
I agree. Something not quite right with the Nathan dress.
Delete@ Anon. 9:13
DeleteShe omitted the belt in the past. Look at the 2 pictures on the left of the model's. Queen Mathilde looked not thinner without the belt. All depends on how the pictures are taken.
@ Anon 9:13
DeleteExcuse me but you suggested Princess Sofia could wear the same dress as Princess Eléonore. You must not forget that Princess Eléonore has a very frêle morphology which Princess Sofia has not. Princess Eléonore wears since more or less 3 years a little heel with her dresses which is much more elegant (and better for the feet) than the ballerinas and flats Princess Sofia always wear. But I think Princess Sofia cannot decide on her own yet what she wants to wear. She is the tallest lady in the Spanish royal family, but she cannot wear a little heel because her sister who is the crown princess cannot look shorter than Sofia. That is a problem which does not exist in the Belgian royal family : Princess Eléonore is taller than Crown princess Elisabeth, well so be it, nobody sees it as a problem.

DeleteDeja de mentir y difundir bulos creados por los haters de la Reina Letizia y extendidos por todo Internet. La Infanta Sofía (que no es Princesa) no tiene prohibido usar tacón por ser más alta que su hermana ni por ninguna otra razón. Estrenó zapatos de tacón cuando cumplió 15 años, que es la tradición en España, en los Premios Princesa de Asturias 2022. Aquí tienes una foto, las hermanas llevan la misma altura de tacón:
http://okdiario.com/look/img/2022/10/28/dl_u520986_001.jpg
Si no los ha vuelto a usar será porque no le gustaron o no se sintió cómoda. Eso es todo. Prohibición Cero. Ella usa lo que quiere, su estilo es muy diferente al de su hermana, es más arriesgado y experimental.
Todo subyace en sembrar la idea de Letizia la dictadora, la mala madre que no deja respirar a sus hijas. Antes era para que no la sobrepasaran a ella, ahora siembran la discordia entre las hijas. Es repugnante.
Afortunadamente, la FRE son una piña amorosa y fuerte y la basura no los rompe.
Y otra cosita: si al decir a Anon 9:13 que la Infanta Sofía no tiene la "very frêle morphologie" de Eléonore la estás llamando gorda, te faltan tornillos o te sobran dioptrías.
Y tampoco lleva Eléonore 3 años usando tacones. Empezó cuando cumplió 15, exactamente igual que Leonor y Sofía.
Aquí la tienes, Mayo 2023 en el 10º jubileo del Rey Philippe: Ohh, con ballerinas... :))

Wonderfull pictures of a proud, happy , relaxed family joining the happiness of princess Elisabeth
ReplyDeleteElizabeth has a silhouette to die for. Slay, princess!
ReplyDeleteYes, she’s awesome.
DeleteWhat great photos of a memorable day for the Princess and her family. Wonderful to see the family strolling around the streets of Oxford without loads of police and security people around while some of the onlookers obviously recognise them and inevitably whip out the phones.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of the Queen's dress but it's not the most flattering. Princess Eleonore's dress is nice too but Princess Elisabeth is like a model in her graduation outfit. With all the flowing dresses that are currently fashionable the simplicity of a straight skirt, dark tights and smart shoes looks great.
Best wishes to CPss Elisabeth, great job. Love the dress Q Mathilde wore, Pss Eleonore's dress not a fan of the cut, otherwise nice. Lovely pic of the family. css
ReplyDeleteJust wish Mathilde could try another hair style. The one she has is so outdated. Sigh
ReplyDeleteThis 👆! I am saying it for years.
DeleteI don't see Queen Mathilde with hair like Queen Maxima. It does not correspond with her style. If she cuts her hair shorter there is not much hair left to do up do's and using false hair pieces wouldn't be possible anymore.
Delete@Anon 6:47 - I agree. I don’t think she necessarily needs longer or shorter hair, but perhaps fewer layers. She is truly a beautiful woman, but her hairstyle is not the most flattering. I think it makes her look older than she is and makes her forehead look broad.

12:02 and still Diana was able to have a up do. And Sonja can have a up do and do on...https://i0.wp.com/www.thecourtjeweller.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2022-0729-01-spencer08.jpg?resize=1200%2C983&ssl=1

@ Royal Watcher
DeleteAbout the so called layers. Queen Mathilde has a "balayage" in her hair, which could be considered as a layer but it is her own hair which is thick. She cannot cut the part under her "balayage" away. Any good hairdresser wouldn't do that. If you compare her hair on the last pictures next to the model it looks much thicker than her hair when in Oxford. I had the same "problem" when I was younger, but when you get older your hair becomes thinner anyway. I hope she can keep her thick hair as long as possible. If your hair is getting thinner many hair treatments are not possible anymore because it damage your hair. If my hair was still thick like before I could go to the hairdresser every week or every two weeks, but I can't. I need 1 week between two visits to the hairdresser to treat my hair with a medical hair treatment against hair loss. Result : I have bad hair a whole week before I return to the hairdresser.
What on earth are you talking about? Of course she can cut her hair. No matter how thick, if you have Curls, thin hair whatever you can tame your hair or a cut would make it look thicker. We have seen Mathilde with straight hair before not these old lady waves. There is a lot she could do. A more modern hair do wouldn’t kill her. It's only hair it grows out again
DeleteWhat she says is that after a certain age, it is just not hair that will grow out again.
DeleteI'm 57 and my hair still grows. My mom is 79 her hair grows..We see Silvias, Sonjas and Sophias grow..wondering what kind hair some people have since it doesn't grow out again.
DeleteAs she stated above, hair gets thinner with age
DeleteFashion is not important here. Family happiness overides all
ReplyDeleteEleonore's Maye dress is lovely and fresh.
ReplyDeleteElisabeth looks great in the tradional blouse, pencil skirt and string tie. An Oxford grad heading to Harvard! Truly something to make a family happy.
Mathilde's beaming smile makes up for anything she could have worn.
Je me suis posée la question concernant la robe Natan de Mathilde et j'ai trouvé ceci pour celles/ceux que cela peut intéresser :
ReplyDeleteLe twill, terme anglais, est un type de tissu également appelé « sergé », qui est une technique de tissage où sont (entrecroisés de fils de chaîne (parallèle, dans la longueur du tissu) et des fils de trame perpendiculaire, dans la largeur du tissu !
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well the crown princess has balanced studies at Oxford, her duties to her country as well as private life. Congratulations on her graduation.
ReplyDeleteT
Princess Eleonore's dress I am not fan of. The hemline and elastic waist. The Queen's dress looks lovely. The royal men look fabulous, well groomed and dressed.
