Cheers in good company!
Do you have the bubbles ready to toast the start of the weekend this afternoon? Then you are undoubtedly not the only one, because they can also do something within the palace walls. For the occasion, the Glamial editors put their own glass aside and we share the nicest photos of toasting royals. Hello!
Baptism
Your Royal Highnesses certainly don’t turn down a good glass of sparkling wine, although we see them smashing a bottle against a boat more often than sipping on a flute. Princess Kate is having fun with it, as is evident from her broad smile.
State visit
There is also a lot of toast during state visits. Well, you have to keep it a bit fun between all those serious matters, nun? You might expect that a locally brewed beer would appear on the table during a state banquet in Germany, but no! A festive glass of bubbles to set the mood is just part of it.
The Belgian royal couple also enjoyed champagne during their recent state visit…
…and a few years ago we saw this beautiful snapshot of a toasting Máxima during the state visit of the House of Orange to our eastern neighbors:
By the way, our queen was served a glass more often that summer.
The good relations were also toasted during the state visit of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife Kim Keon Hee to King Charles and Queen Camilla:
Just like the visit of the Spanish Felipe and Letizia to Denmark:
Decadent in Monaco
By the way, there doesn’t have to be a state banquet or other ceremony to pour such a glass of bubbles. In fact, it doesn’t even require a glass! In Monaco, champagne flows freely, Charlene proves.
And for Prince Albert too, by the way, he just takes the whole bottle to a swimming party.
Glamorous
Perhaps we should not follow the example of the Monegasques, but rather follow the example of the Waleses, who looked nice and glamorous for a toast here in Belize:
Glitter dress: check! Nice blazer: check! A wine of your choice: double check! The then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge handled it neatly during their Caribbean tour in early 2022.
No matter how you toast this afternoon – with a classic glass of bubbles, a glass of wine, a zero point zero or a glass of municipal lager: you will always toast in good company. This is how we start the weekend festive!
