      Unusual? Just open your eyes, it happens in a smaller scale but almost daily.

      Not "American style" but evil violence is in every country.

      Not daily in Europe and not like the US. Let us be honest.

      You’re right 17:30. And given America’s appalling gun violence record, yes American style. (How I wish they would clean up the laws and culture around the horrifying trend and make it safe for us to send our children to school again).

      2029 this is a fashion blog so the comment is on the clothes that was chosen to wear to the event. Yes I am thinking a lot recognizing what this is a fashion blog.

      23:31 it’s a Royal blog where you may also comment on jewellery and clothes, not strictly a fashion blog. As long as we are kind and respectful, all types of related subjects are ok.

      As for you 20:29, why the aggressive response? Not ok. The commenter was pointing out the queen’s interesting jacket fabric that has stripes at various intervals. I too like it very well.

      20:29 your comment is strange. Say what you need to say but don’t criticise another’s valid comment.

  3. Un couple qui sait bien se soutenir - La Reine a toujours beaucoup de goût pour se vêtir en choisissant des bijoux dans un style moderne !

  4. A terrible event. The Queen looks well groomed and attired, very appropriate.

    The Queen looks great. Fab outfit for a somber occasion.

    Bella coppia di reali, sempre vicini al popolo e sono sempre molto eleganti e distinti.
    È stata una giornata di dolore, accanto al re e alla regina mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere anche Haakon e i suoi figli, o forse erano in altre celebrazioni?
