The Royalty Nerd

It’s the beginning of the end; as December starts, 2023 comes to a close. That usually means royals begin to slow down their engagements for the upcoming Christmas break, but don’t worry, there is still lots to be done before then. Here are my fave looks of the week!

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands:

Winter may be upon us but Queen Máxima looked sufficiently springy on November 30th! She attended a meeting for the Coalition Financial Health, as she is an honorary chair member of SchuldenlabNL, which is an organization that helps those struggling become debt free by providing resources and education about finances.

She wore a Natan coat and dress to the event.

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands (again):

I had a friend message me the other day saying that she saw a big to-do about a Queen wearing a pretty dress. I sent her this picture and she replied with “yep! That one!”

Because look at her! While attending the Iris Van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses exhibition, the Queen wore one of Herpen’s designs and looked incredible doing so! This is the second time she has worn the Dutch designer (see my Instagram for the other dress!) and I’m going to need the Queen to wear Herpen as much as she wears Natan.

On November 29th, several members of the British royal family attended the Anti Slavery Collective’s winter gala event. Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara, attended wearing a Rebecca Vallance dress.

Zara’s cousin, Princess Eugenie was also in attendance, along with her husband Jack Brooksbank. Eugenie wore a dress from Peter Pilotto-Christopher Devos with some fun metallic detailing above the leg.

Princess Beatrice of York:

Princess Beatrice and her husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi attended the event as well. Beatrice wore a Self-Portrait dress!

The Marchioness of Bath:

The Marquess and Marchioness of Bath attended the Tusk Conservation Awards (along with Prince William and Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones, but I digress) and Emma looked gorgeous as always. I haven’t seen any sort of confirmation on her dress which is unfortunate because I love it.

Queen Letizia of Spain and the Princess of Asturias:

The Spanish royals attended the opening of parliament on November 29th. Both the Queen and future Queen looked lovely, as usual. Queen Letizia wore a Carolina Herrera cape and dress, while Princess Leonor wore a Carolina Herrera coat and an Adolfo Dominguez dress.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden:

Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel have been on a mini tour so to speak of the UK, and attended the Royal Variety Performance on November 30th. Victoria wore a Toteme dress for the event.

The Princess of Wales:

The Prince and Princess of Wales also attended the Royal Variety Performance, and the Princess wore a gown from Safiyaa with some very dramatic sleeves!

Princess Madeleine of Sweden:

While Victoria was in London, her siblings were attended a concert to celebrate their mother’s upcoming 80th birthday! Princess Madeleine, who is in the process of moving back to Sweden from Florida, was there, wearing a Veronica Beard top and pants, as well as a blazer by Balmain x H&M. It’s always nice to see Madeleine, and I’m excited for her return to Sweden!

And that’s it for the week! This is the first post for a live site and I’m nervous, but also very excited. I have lots planned for the upcoming month and the year to come!
