Just wanted to say how elegant & these women are. They're not in the spotlight as much but they loved their grandmother & grandfather. I'm sure they are very proud of the lovely women they have grown into.

William was very handsome and like a male version of his mother until he lost his hair. That really did for him. Some men can carry off the bald look, but William is not one of them. He does have a nice physique and speaking voice however.

I think he is definitely attractive, still. He’s sweet and fanciable.

I know someone who turned up at a posh dinner party to find there was no booze because of the guest of honour…who turned out to be Andy (this was a while ago).

He's teetotal, has been for 40 years.
Not a Prince Andrew apologist by any means, but that's the situation.

Poor William. If he were an ordinary person he could just shave his head and embrace baldness. He can't, so he's got to stick with that half-bald look instead that doesn't flatter anyone.

ZT has a look which I call ‘a bit PE’ as in sportsperson. She likes dressing up and looks very striking. I remember some of the faces she and Eugenie pulled at the Sussex wedding, I felt they should have kept a more neutral demeanour, although to be fair to ZT she was apparently dying for the loo.
I get a good vibe from Beatrice. She seems nice, kind and a good advocate for Dyslexia and for the charities she supports.

I think don’t think any of the three ooze class like Kate does, they all look like they’ve just got off a horse and grabbed the first thing handed to them. That said I do like Zara for that very reason, she’s clearly happier in jodhpurs. The other two I neither admire or dislike, I don’t think either have looks or style but Eugenie got luckier than Beatrice.

Im sure they’re all lovely people though and that’s the main thing.

She does look fantastic, but she does also look painfully thin. She must live off the occasional lettuce leaf.

Why aren’t the royal blokes allowed to have a #1 cut😁? It would look so much better. I don’t know about Harry being half in and half out but his and Will’s hair definitely is.

I do feel Kate is looking scarily thin. Obviously she has great genes, her mum & sister are also very thin but look healthier than Kate. She used to have a fabulous, athletic psychique but now she is just very thin, it's very evident in her face.

The City of York rescinded his key to the city. I hate this reference to him and York! He's a stuck up pervert and the City of York wants no association with him!

It’s interesting that Princess Anne’s children, Peter and Zara are very attractive. William and Harry, whose mother was the very beautiful Diana, are not up to that standard. Lol

From the neck down, he's definitely hot. I remember his biceps caused a minor sensation when we were all bored with lockdown.

From the neck up, however, I think he really needs hair. Not that he likely cares what I think.

I've always thought that Beatrice and Eugenie are both very attractive. They also have lovely figures, and come across as lively, down-to-earth, interesting women who would be good fun on an evening out.

I'm sure Zara's lovely too, but I don't see her as often.

One of the York sisters, can't remember which one, but the one that had scoliosis. Came to visit my ward as we used to have scoliosis patients. She was on a visit near by and asked to visit. The staff on that day adored her! They said she was absolutely lovely. Spoke to everyone and didn't mind when a baby slobbered all over her silk dress.

He really isn't, in his younger years he wasn't unattractive (though not hot) but he became really quite unattractive.

Seems to do ok with the ladies though, definitely punching above his weight.

Not convinced that it's his personality either, when he first got together with Princess Anne he was reportedly nicknamed Foggy by Prince Charles because "he was thick and wet".

Yes they did, Camilla, Meghan, Kate, Sophie, Anne, Lady Louise also... Not forgetting Charlotte. All so dignified, appropriate & elegant.

Meghan might look elegant but what she did with that interview has made her look dreadful so no matter how she looks everyone knows what she is!

"Dignified" "elegant" "poised" how many words can you use for a bunch of very rich people dressed up for their grans funeral. Give it a rest. Yes they looked nice, but so would anyone if money was no object and you had none of the daily life stresses we all face. I think the fawning needs to stop, it's sad their gran died, I don't dispute that, but this nonsense about them looking poised etc 🙄 and pouring over pictures.

Rich or not, I certainly wouldn't like to be expected to repeatedly have to parade my grief in public, with a stiff upper lip! They might have ever have to worry about work, money or having a roof over their heads but otherwise, they must have the same insecurities and challenges in life that we all have.

I thought Kate looked gorgeous, same as she did at Prince Philip's funeral. Maybe she just really suits black. I thought too that Camilla was looking very well.

I actually think Charlotte looks like Lady Sarah Chatto.

Charlotte is the spit of her maternal grandmother, Carole. So obvious. Very little resemblance to the Royal Family.

She is a carbon copy of Sarah Chatto as a child.

🤣🤣🤣

Princess Anne calls Princess Michael "Princess Pushy". PM is a nasty twat though. All hail the Princess Royal. And the Queen, who got fed up with PM's high and mightiness that once, when PM was due to visit, said, "She's a bit grand for us."

I don't think she's any thinner than she's always been, but when you're 40, as she now is, you start to see it in someone's face.

There's a quote by a female actress (can't remember who) who said (and I paraphrase): 'You get to a certain age and you have to choose your face or your arse'. In other words, if you want to stay slim all over in middle age, you'll have a drawn face, because to have that youthful plumpness around your cheeks you've got to carry a few extra pounds.

She looks pretty normal to me, but then I don't have fat people in my life.
