I think Princess Madeleine is in my Top 3 Royals. She looks effortlessly beautiful with a very "Christie Brinkley ageless" vibe. Yes. I love pretty much everything I have seen her in.

I don’t care how many times I try to mentally correct myself, I will always say “you-gee-knee” and think that sounds better than how she actually pronounces her name. It feels so unnatural to say. I had to look this up because I just gloss over names sometimes, so for anyone else wondering, it is apparently "YOO-jeh-nee." Same syllable stress as the word 'progeny.' I realized I was making it extra fanceh and adding a syllable: yoo-JEH-nee-eh. 😆

😍😍😍 Omg who is this and what's she wearing??!! I LOVE this. Head to toe. Love this, too. She got the skirt length just right. Especially for those shoes. I feel like this look is what Carrie Bradshaw aspired to be but didn't quite get there.

I love this picture of Madeline's wedding. I think her dress is one of my favorites of the Royals

Madeleine is the effortless chic that I think Meghan goes for but misses

Letizia today This is such a cool dress - I love how the pleats give some interesting texture/coloring/shadows, depending on how the light hit it. I think her clutch is very chic too.

Oof Mathilde. Once again dressing 15-20 years older than her age. Those pants are so unfortunate.

I wish the BRF did a summer photo call. I love the other families truly see that the people want to see them and they are ok with putting out what they want to put out.

I dont get the progeny comparison. So its eu-jen-ee ?

And I think it works in their favour - they, especially the children, are left to live their lives in peace. Just twice a year, you get some pics taken, in the garden or on the ski slopes, by the entire world’s press.

So they don't get as much media attention to begin with.

I dont get the progeny comparison. So its eu-jen-ee ? Syllable stress and hard/soft vowel pronunciation. "YU-jeh-nee" has the stress on the first syllable and a soft "eh" for the second syllable's pronunciation. "yu-JEE-nee" has the stress on the second syllable and a hard "EE" pronunciation. The first would rhyme with "progeny" if we were writing poetry. The second would (close) rhyme with "martini."

Look at that explanation lol. So, the first is how her name is pronounced?? I had no idea.

I can’t remember if we have seen a similar article but it’s jewelry so I thought a repeat wouldn’t hurt.
