The Royalty Nerd

Welcome back to my favourite looks of the week! I skipped last week because I was absolutely exhausted, but I’m doing much better and was quite pleased with this week’s selection!

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands:

On November 2nd, Queen Máxima visted Home-Start to mark their 30th anniversary of helping families come together in raising children. It was a bit of a rainy day and she wore a grey Dolce & Gabbana dress to match the dreary weather. That being said, I thought she looked fabulous. Somehow she manages to shine like she’s wearing her usual bright colours and patterns even while wearing grey. Máxima magic!

The Duchess of Rothesay:

The feathered layers, flared jeans… I see a little ’70s inspo with this one! The Prince and Princess of Wales, called by their Scottish titles while in the country, had several engagements on November 2nd. They visited Outfit Moray, an outdoor learning centre; Brodieshill Farm to speak with young farmers about their work and mental health; and Day1, a charity that helps young people in vulnerable positions find employment, mental health care, and mentoring.

Kate wore a Burberry jacket. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen anything on her jeans!

The Princess of Wales:

On November 1st, the Princess of Wales visited Dadvengers, which is a community of fathers coming together with other dads, as much for their benefit as for the children. Kate is deeply involved in early childhood development and she spoke with the parents about their experience as fathers and raising children.

This might be my top look of the week! Simply because it’s something that I could wear in my every day life; I have a similar jacket, sweater, jeans, and boots, and that’s a big reason why I love this outfit.

She wore an Erdem sweater and Barbour jacket, along with Mother Denim jeans.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway:

On November 1st, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway attended the Nordic Council’s award ceremony where the arts were recognized, with awards being given out for music, film, and children’s literature.

In classic Mette-Marit fashion, she wore a floral By TiMo gown. She is nothing if not a floral girly and I love that for her!

The Spanish Royal Ladies:

Are the Spanish royals the best dressed royal family? That might be a potential Instagram poll. Anyway, on October 31st, the Princess of Asturias turned 18! Her milestone birthday was marked with a big celebration where she received the Collar of the Order of Charles III.

For the occasion, Leonor wore a crisp white Sastreriá pantsuit (I have a lot to say about the fact that she wore white, but I digress); Queen Letizia wore a beautiful blue Carolina Herrera dress; and Infanta Sofiá wore a very sweet Erdem cape dress!

Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom:

The King and Queen of the United Kingdom are on a tour of Kenya at the moment, and I definitely plan on going through that trip in depth when it concludes. In the meantime though, I couldn’t help but include this Fiona Clare dress worn by Queen Camilla. It’s light and casual, and perfect for feeding baby elephants! The jealousy! I adore elephants and I am absolutely green with envy right now. Almost as green as her dress!
