HRH is a great coffee table book. It's a fun read on its own because it talks about the evolving royal style across four different women, as well as how they evolved in their own lives. I read it in one day because it's quick and easy, but a lot of fun. Definitely a book I'd want to own so I can set it on my coffee table.

HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style by Elizabeth Holmes is very well done! While it is not a full-fledged biography of Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Kate, or Meghan, it does a great job of highlighting important moments in their lives and frames them using their clothing choices. While none of the outfits were new to me (I have read a few blogs/books over the years...) how they were presented was fresh and fun.
I was especially impressed with the section on the Duchess of Sussex - since this book was just released in December 2020, it covers events for Kate and Meghan all the way up until summer 2020. It included, in my opinion, some of Meghan's most important statement fashion pieces, namely the last three stunning outfits she wore as part of the "farewell" tour (aka the fantastic red dress with cape, fantastic green dress with cape, and the bright blue dress that she's wearing in the famous rain photo).
This was a beautiful book!

An informative read for anyone curious about the impact of modern royal fashion. A bit repetitive at times -- the way the book was structured didn't help -- but overall a nice balance of eye-catching photos and thoughtful commentary.
I'm a fan of @eholmes's So Many Thoughts on Instagram, but feel like this would still be accessible to a royal newbie!
