She looks absolutely fine to me she looks like any normal mum of 2 and if she does look a bit tired that could be something to do with the fact that she has 2 kids under the age of 4. Leave the poor woman alone there's nothing wrong with her could just be a case of really bad lighting.

She gets Kate Middleton from me.

But collectively they get "Kate n Wills".

And Charles will get King Chuck whether he sticks with Charles or not.

These pics from web show cigs in her bag. It's possible she's picked up some fags for her mate on her way there though Grin

I'm socialist so don't agree that a monarchy such as the British one is compatible with modern society but I will not have a go at the individuals well maybe Andrew but everyone knows he's a grade A, card carrying bellend especially not their looks.

Let's not pretend it's because she's a mum of two. I am not saying she's not hands on but please. I doubt she's doing the washing, cleaning, cooking, tidying, early mornings, night wakings that the average mother is doing.

TammySwansonxx · 18/01/2017 20:34

She gets "waity katy" from me

QueenoftheAndals · 18/01/2017 20:42

*I know someone who refers to her as 'Catherine' 'Duchess of Cambridge'. Cringesome.+

And inaccurate!

QueenoftheAndals · 18/01/2017 20:43

Bold fail...

Carnabyqueen · 18/01/2017 20:44

I can't believe she smokes! Perhaps it's in order to maintain her weight. She's going to wreck her skin though.

squoosh · 18/01/2017 20:49

I doubt she smokes anymore. Based on absolutely nothing at all other than I've seen it a 100 times with my own friends I'd say she's one of those smokers who turns into an evangelical anti smoker once they've had a nipper.

For heaven's sake, the wife of a King is not a queen unless she is royal in her own right!! It wasn't King Albert and (turned on its head) it's not King Philip.....

OverByYer · 18/01/2017 20:56

I think she gets tired carrying all that hair around.
It looks so heavy and she's only tiny.

QueenoftheAndals · 18/01/2017 20:57

She's called Queen though, as in Queen Consort. See Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth (Queen Mum, not QEII).

Gladys123 · 18/01/2017 20:57

But most importantly, how does she get those curls in her hair? And get them to stay there?

ricepolo · 18/01/2017 20:58

Have just googled and she'll be Queen Consort apparently?? So I stand a bit corrected.

QueenoftheAndals · 18/01/2017 20:58

Reply was to rice btw, there's only ever been one King consort and that was Philip of Spain.

squoosh · 18/01/2017 20:59

She probably has wavy hair to begin with. My poker straight hair steadfastly refuses to acknowledge any curl or wave. The stubborn bastard(s).

The wives of kings are queens.

The husbands of queens are consorts and can't hold the title of king unless they are in their own right.

HTH

LiviaDrusillaAugusta · 18/01/2017 21:03

The wives of kings are also consorts but have the title 'queen'

In between were Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth (Later the Queen Mother). All consorts.

The royal family don't have a surname

Saxe-Coberg-Gothe

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 21/01/2017 21:04

Not anymore Happy

*In 1917, there was a radical change, when George V specifically adopted Windsor, not only as the name of the 'House' or dynasty, but also as the surname of his family. The family name was changed as a result of anti-German feeling during the First World War, and the name Windsor was adopted after the Castle of the same name.

At a meeting of the Privy Council on 17 July 1917, George V declared that 'all descendants in the male line of Queen Victoria, who are subjects of these realms, other than female descendants who marry or who have married, shall bear the name of Windsor'.

The Royal Family name of Windsor was confirmed by The Queen after her accession in 1952. However, in 1960, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh decided that they would like their own direct descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the Royal Family (without changing the name of the Royal House), as Windsor is the surname used by all the male and unmarried female descendants of George V.

It was therefore declared in the Privy Council that The Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince/Princess, or female descendants who marry, would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor*

From a quick Google.

Another illusion shattered, DramaQueen.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 22/01/2017 15:49

I might have a name change ,I think Dame Saxe-Coberg-Gothe has a certain ring to itGrin
