We’re still in the grip of winter where I live, though thankfully not facing the prospect of a snowstorm like what’s in the U.S. East Coast right now (I hope you guys are keeping warm and safe!). It’s a good time to look at the coats and other cold weather clothing that the royal ladies have been wearing lately.

Denmark’s Crown Princess Mary comes in out of the snow into the New Carlsberg Glyptoteque in Copenhagen on January 27, 2010. She attended the award ceremony of the Elite Research Awards, which are given to outstanding Danish scientists. She wore this striated …read more

Here are some photos of the British royal family as they went to church on Christmas morning. We’ve already seen some of them in the video. But that was such a short clip that I think you’ll also enjoy seeing them better here:

I thought I’d do a fashion post a day early because I just love this little gold dress that Princess Beatrice wore last night.

The young British princess and her boyfriend Dave Clark attended an event at jewelry house Garrard & Co. in Mayfair, London. They then went for dinner at Nobu.

Here is one more fashion post for today. Royal sisters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were spotted leaving the Lanesborough Hotel in lovely dresses last night.
The young royals were at the hotel to celebrate with their mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, who turned 50 yesterday. According to the Daily Mail, the party included the girls’ father Prince Andrew, Lisa Marie Presley (who’s a friend of the duchess), Priscilla Presley and food tycoon Geir Frantzen. After dinner at the hotel, the party moved on to dancing at the private club Annabel’s.

Ladies Day, the third day of Royal Ascot, is one of the highlights of the event that combines British horse-racing and fashion in a signature way. It is the ladies’ day to shine with the most unique hats seen anywhere.
Queen Elizabeth was very stylish in her blue and white combination. Here she is arriving with Prince Philip today, June 18, 2009:
 

It’s that time of the year when we get to see the gorgeous fashions at the Royal Ascot Races. The British royals are, of course, out in full force in their beautiful hats. Queen Elizabeth was especially sunny during Day 1 of the races.

The five-day racing event is sure to attract not just the horse fans, but also the fashion elite. This is a see-and-be-seen event, and is a chance to show off the most outrageous hats ever seen. Not for the royals, though. The royal ladies stick to more conventional, though equally lovely, toppers, while the men keep to …read more

Polka dots are hot again, and Princess Beatrice gets it in a big way.
The young princess donned this dotty blue dress at the Teenage Cancer Trust Concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall yesterday, March 26, 2009. Beatrice represented her mom, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, who is Patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
While I prefer tiny polka dots to big ones like these, I think Princess Beatrice pulled this one off. Despite the shiny giant circles, the blue-on-blue design of the dress kept it pretty simple. Cinching at the waist with a black band is very flattering for Princess …read more
