I feel a rant comming
yes Royals are not about clothes its about good work, dedication, seving your country, beeing serious etc etc.
That aside
its gala time for some really worthy people why can they get a new frock, I dont get it, Victoria has worn that ooogly brown frock many times, its nothing special about it, you can get nicer dresses at Zara. Silvia wears a dress she has worn now for 10 years and to Nobel last year, and Madeleiens dress is also old. Every gala there is one old dress after anohter for the intired family. In what other Royal house do we see such prudency with gala clothes. (except for queen Sonja and Margrethe and the Princess Royal) I dont care if they wear their suits a gazillion time but Silvia has not gotten one new gala dress the whole year and Madeleine 1 news dress (yesterday)since Freds wedding in 2004. Are they out of money
. Victoria has worn the burgundy dress from Austrailia to 3 high profile events in 9 months, not even Queen Sonja would do that with her favourite salmon dress with wings. And Silvia should get generous with the jewels, she gives Victoria the ooogly steel tiara and Madeleine the equally oooogly button tiara, there are plenty more beautiful which they could have borrowed, they are afterall the Kings daughter.
I only hope this prudency means they are saving up for a giant white wedding dress....Rant finnished
