The beauty of Monarchy and Aristocracy!

It does make exceedingly good film material though:

Prince Charles immaculate presentation in Grenada:

What is "immaculate" about these shoes

What is "immaculate" about these shoes

He was on the beach earlier in them. He's no sartorial cuck. His choice was deliberate for the activities at hand.

 

[Great White Snark]

What is "immaculate" about these shoes

Or the shapeless jacket pockets made all baggy by his fidgety self-consciously nervous habit of stuffing his fists into them.

That's the right look for him at his age.

 

[Pimpernel Smith]

Now he's our man in Havana, wary as he looks on at the brutal Soviet era tower blocks:

 

[Rushmore]

Is he a Brother In Shoulders with Cropmton?

 

[Pimpernel Smith]

Is he a Brother In Shoulders with Cropmton?

A bit of sloppy shoulders going on there, but thankfully he hasn't taken the brown and blue combo pill.

Of course, only the help wear musty waxed canvas:

What a shower. They can't make up their minds whether it's cocktail attire, or black tie, or casual, or beachwear. Sic transit.

Boy how did that photo make it to the public?

Never thought Prince Phillip was a Sith Lord... He makes Palpatine look young!

Putin lives better than any King ever could. He is only supposed to have $700,000 to his name and is a part owner of a caravan park, but this suggests otherwise. An interesting video.

How Kim Jong-un Spends His Billions

Ever wonder how North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un is living. In this video we look at the lavish and spoiled life of one of the world's most notorious leade...

Dictators in ‘feathering their own nest’ shock. Hardly news.

Prince Edward delivers an excellent aristo-casual colour scheme:

Let's be honest, aristo or not, he looks like shit.

Contrast with Charles above, who looks stellar.

I was going to say Jos A Bank

I've always liked this picture of the irascible playwright John Osbourne....Whilst not an Aristocrat in the traditional sense, he was an theatrical aristocrat

I'm convinced at this stage of the cultural insanity, only the aristo-casual look can deliver one to the promised land.

It's a buffer, a blade, a daring-do, a statement of individual intent and available for everyone who can and will not submit to the mediocrity of the herd.

Pimpy strikes the perfect balance between the Baudelairian and the Ballardian temper.

As a Baudelairian I resent that.

HM the Queen and HRH the Duke of Edinburgh still looking on point.

Plenty of room in there a colostomy bag or two.

Not quite royalty, but a Sir, the aesthete, high art historian, museum director and landscape designer, Sir Roy Strong, aristo-casual in action:

Wow that’s bad

 

[Kingstonian]

Wow that’s bad

Agreed. Too much of the Nancy boy about it.

 

[güero]

Cuckley I didn't expect you to be such a big fan of Willy Wonka.

 

[Pimpernel Smith]

Wow that’s bad

It's not a continental look, only an Englishman would care to dress that way, you may say only an Englishman would want to.

Agreed. Too much of the Nancy boy about it.

He's certainly got a whiff of the Elizabethan age about him.

You want someone of that high art eccentricity in charge of your museums.

Camp and fruity, yes, in the very best English tradition:
