Queen Maxima

I FEEL YOU, MAXIMA. (She and W-A took a State Visit to Indonesia this week, where they did not shake hands; they're back in the Netherlands this week and have cancelled all their engagements.) 

SOMEONE wants to be in this picture! (Along with W-A and Max, this is President Joko Widodo, his wife Iriana, and I THINK a grandchild. Whoever this baby is, I want to squeeze them!)

This dress is FAB.

This is at a chocolate factory in Jakarta and right now everything I think is, "I'm worried this is germy." (Everyone seems to be taking the appropriate germ precautions here! I'm just very neurotic now!)

Maxima is wearing a lot of patterns on this trip, and I approve of this.

Do we REALLY NEED ruffled cold shoulder looks right now? In THIS time?!

Informative Caption tells us, "King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands visit the Prambanan museum and have an interreligieus dialogue in Yogyakarta," and I tell you: Put this pic on the piano!! It's got a real Pretty Woman feel that I love.

Maxima! This was the time for a green shoe!

I love those textiles!! (Are those rugs? I'm not sure. But they're gorgeous.)

This is the Silima Lombu Ecobillave in Tobalake, it's gorgeous, and it's ALSO a piano picture.

You knew the culottes would eventually arrive.

Cheltenham Festival

Meanwhile, in the UK, people still attended the Cheltenham Festival horse races, which seems like a bad idea right now!!!!

Andrew Parker-Bowles and Princess Anne

GO HOME ANNE. The murderers will wait.

Cheltenham Festival

Zara Tindall looks cute here; she and Anne are hanging with a woman named Chanelle McCoy, who is married to a jockey and is (I think) a pharmaceutical heiress.

Cheltenham Festival

This, too, is a good on Zara. (This woman, Dolly Maude, is allegedly Z's bff. She was in her wedding and such.)

Cheltenham Festival

Put this on your holiday card!

Zara and Mike

I'm here for Mike's coat!

And, honestly, they look FANTASTIC here, but this was snapped on Friday and...stay home, you guys. What are you doing at a horse race, right now? STAY HOME.

Edward and Sophs

WELL WELL WELL look who's made Royals Round-Up. (Edward was so chatty and sweet to Meghan on Monday; yes, he actually looks interesting here but also I am feeling warmly toward him.)

Prince Edward -

POINTING FOR VISUAL INTEREST!

Prince Edward and Sophie

This is the "Tiptree Jam factory" and as one of you pointed out to us on Insta this week, this DOES feel like a Midsomer Murders episode cold open.

Audiences at Buckingham Palace

Information Caption tells me that here, Her Maj "meets High Commissioner of Sri Lanka Saroja Sirisena and Sudath Talpahewa." Saroja Sirisena's look is fab here!

QEII

This look on Her Maj is GLAM and feels very fashion forward.

Camz

And I always love a nice print.

Chaz

It's been hard for Chaz to remember to stop shaking hands (I'm sure doing that is just muscle memory for him at this point), hence this wiggle.

Letizia

This is the "Spanish Queen's Cup" final, a women's basketball game, and I continue to believe she is one of the few who could deal with that trouser waistband.

Spanish Royals visit to Paris, France

"Hello. None of us feel comfortable touching right now!"

Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel visit Isolamin

CPV's having a big neck bow week.

Crown Princess Victoria name day celebrations,

See? This is actually meant to be her name day celebrations, but they cancelled the giant public bit because of coronavirus. Snazzy pants, though!

Royals Round-Up, March 13th, 2020

It's surprisingly robust.
