Can this please be a pleasant thread? If you don't give a toss then please move on. I'm interested to see what sort of dress she wears. I'd love to see her in something that really reflects her character & I'm hoping for something with a bit of detail & not too plain.

That is such a sweet picture!

Who cares what Louise wears really? She is a fourteen year old kid who more than likely wears what she is told to wear or chooses herself from a wardrobe whete somebody else has already chosen its contents.

Princess Anne wore an amazing g dress st H&M’s wedding didn’t she.

"The royal family has enough primped and coiffed women as it is."

It does seem as if she might take more after Anne.

She's also a younger GC by quite a bit, isn't she?

Perhaps closer in age to the older GGC!

I agree. She reminds me a lot of Zara Tindall too.

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 14/10/2018 19:07

That’s a lovely photo. She looks kind.

Yes, big gap between the Wessex kids and the rest. There's 30 years between Peter Phillips and James Severn!

Yes the closest in age to her is Eugenie (other than her brother)

" There's 30 years between Peter Phillips and James Severn!"

Wow!

I was thinking that Peter, Zara, William, Harry, Beatrice & Eugenie are all of a similar age & then there's Louise & James, sort of not fitting anywhere.

I think that Edward & Sophie were maybe mid 30s when they married & then a few years before having Louise?

QueenOfTheAndals · 14/10/2018 19:48

I think Edward and Sophie had a hard time TTC - she had an ectopic pregnancy, and then nearly died giving birth to Louise prematurely.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 14/10/2018 20:02

Sophie Also had to wait years for Edward to propose

itswinetime · 14/10/2018 20:50

Sophie and Edward did marry latter but not to be forgotten there is 15-16 years age gap between Charles and Edward so bound to be a fairly big gap between the kids.

Clionba · 14/10/2018 20:59

Also, Sophie went through several rounds of IVF and an ectopic pregnancy before Louise and James. Not quick conceptions like others!

QueenOfTheAndals · 14/10/2018 21:01

I don't think they've ever confirmed that they had IVF, no ones business really, but it seems a possibility.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 14/10/2018 21:01

James viscount Severn, the Queens youngest grandchild; is only 3 years older than Savannah Phillips her eldest great grand child.

Clionba · 14/10/2018 21:13

It might not be our business. I was just making the point that not everyone conceives and gives birth easily.

SillySallySingsSongs · 14/10/2018 21:16

I was thinking that Peter, Zara, William, Harry, Beatrice & Eugenie are all of a similar age

There is 12 years between the eldest in that list awell. Peter Phillips is 40 and Eugenie is 28.

So a Givenchy or Alexander McQueen outfit, bespoke hat and 4in Prada heels are worn by grannies?

I find that style really frumpy and old. Maybe the granny comment was a bit of an exaggeration but it’s a staid boring look that’s worn by rich old women. For example Megan’s blue coat is gorgeous but it wouldn’t look out of place on a 90 year old. It’s frumpy.

Clionba · 14/10/2018 21:33

Ok. I don't care for some of Kate's outfits, like the repeat coat dresses, but mostly I think Meghan is chic and stylish. Taste is very subjective, though. How would you style them?

Elderflower14 · 14/10/2018 21:38

Peter was born in Silver Jubilee Year 1977. Eugenie in 1990.

itswinetime · 14/10/2018 21:40

To be honest I think that the royal women Kate in particular have a very set style that works like a uniform for them.

The clothes they wear are nice and if they make them comfortable then they are all good.

If I had their figures I would wear more modern tailored clothes (probably a lot like Meghans co stars on suits 😂) But that's mainly because I would want to show off being skinny Grin

Redyoyo · 14/10/2018 21:41

Looking at pictures of Louise she looks such a quiet gentle wee soul, she's never without a smile, there are plenty of pictures of her in hoodies and leggings.
She also seems to get on well with all the family, you see pics of her walking with princess Anne and other older members of the family chatting away, so she seems quite confident, compared to other 14 year old girls who hardly utter a word to relatives.

CupMug · 14/10/2018 21:48

Both Megan and Kate are very attractive with cute smiles and amazing figures. They would look good in literally anything but if I were them I would wear more casual styles and I’d avoid high heels. Sometimes their clothes look like they are overpowering them. High heels make their skinny legs look a bit odd.

I think they both look amazing in trouser suits and jeans.

Clionba · 14/10/2018 21:52

I thought Meghan looked great in the black trouser suit with narrow cropped trousers. I don't know why they're so wedded to the high spike heels, my feet couldn't cope! I liked some of the outfits Meghan wore in Ireland and the recent green leather skirt and silk blouse.

SamanthaBrique · 14/10/2018 21:54

I don't think I've ever seen Kate in a trouser suit. Jeans yes, trousers no. Maybe she doesn't suit them, some people just don't.

theboxofdelights · 14/10/2018 22:01

I think dissing Louise is bang out of order, she is a child for gods sake.
