To think Harry and Meghan’s photo is odd looking?!

Just having a look at the royal family Christmas card pics. Very nice. Love William and Kate’s family pic. How sweet are those kids 😍

Lots of people on Twitter raving about Meghan and Harry’s photo. I genuinely really like Harry and Meghan. Nothing against them whatsoever.

But I absolutely refuse to believe that i am alone in thinking their photo is so awkward looking!

She looks stunning and the background is amazing but it just looks weird! I think it’s the way he’s standing. It’s not elegant. It looks really odd to me.

Anyone else??

Apparently Kate's a smoker- don't know about Pippa

I think we should burn them both to be on the safe side, don't you NaiceShoes?

ElektraLOL · 21/12/2018 22:42

Why is it being disrespectful to say someone is a smoker?! Ffs some people need to get a grip on reality.

Ironically Carole Middleton looks great for her age. Actually not even for her age😆, she just looks great!

limitedperiodonly · 21/12/2018 23:01

If someone said I looked great for my age I'd kill myself. Oh, what am I thinking of? I mean I'd kill them and carry on living.

MissEliza · 21/12/2018 23:09

Limited I know what you mean but I do
mean it as a compliment

limitedperiodonly · 21/12/2018 23:25

Okay. MissEliza You can live. But let that be a warning Wink

TooManyPaws · 21/12/2018 23:54

I've thought for years that Kate's make up doesn't flatter her as it doesn't look like it's been blended at all and makes her look very hard faced, even on her wedding day.

user1457017537 · 22/12/2018 05:32

Kate is pretty with good features. Personally I don’t think make-up suits everyone. Obviously we all look better with some help, but I think that fully made up look doesn’t look good on her for whatever reason.

MissEliza · 22/12/2018 10:51

Limited trust me I'm at the age where 'you look good for your age' is the best I can hope for!!

selkiesolstice · 22/12/2018 12:33

Im 48 and a bunch of my younger cousins roughly kate meghan wills age say this to me! I have started saying it back to them 🤣😂
They were like 'what' 😐

NaiceShoes · 23/12/2018 01:42

I did wonder why Kate did her own make up for her wedding. She obviously does it day to day too (it would be weird to have a make up artist but then refuse to have them on your wedding day).
I'm guessing this is why her make up doesn't look how we have come to expect people in the public eye's make up to look and why PP said 'I don't think make up suits everyone' when talking about her

SheStoopsToConker · 23/12/2018 06:39

I think she needs a less matte foundation and to blend her blusher a bit more. A lighter touch may look less ageing. At least she's ditched the heavy eyeliner now!

beanaseireann · 27/12/2018 20:13

What season is Kate, Megan, Sophie, Beatrice, Zara, Eugenie if they were doing House of Colour or Colour Me Beautiful ?

katekat383 · 27/12/2018 20:23

The “scarf video” showing PW snubbing Meghan is worrying. Dresses aside, this is serious. I feel sorry for her.

katekat383 · 27/12/2018 20:28

Oops. Wrong thread.

CarolDanvers · 27/12/2018 20:34

I think it looked very much like William was concentrating on his scarf so he wouldn’t have to speak to her and he only really stops when Kate comes back and provided a barrier between the two of them. Bratty and ill mannered behaviour. What can she possibly have done that would warrant that in public?

katekat383 · 27/12/2018 20:36

I agree. His behaviour is appalling.

MilkTrayLimeBarrel · 28/12/2018 09:01

Errm - maybe he doesn't like her as a person?

ElektraLOL · 28/12/2018 09:17

You certainly can feel the frosty atmosphere in that video !!! I agree his behaviour is vile - humiliating her in front of the cameras is very unpleasant.

3luckystars · 28/12/2018 09:31

I watched it there. I think Megan is new to all this, and was asking him something about Kate and he was trying to make her shut up because he knew everyone was watching and would be reading their lips. Kate comes along then to smpoth it all over.
I dont think he was rude, but he had to shut her down.
Or maybe she had just farted, and he was pulling his scarf up to protect himself, who knows?

Also he might have the flu.

The more I see threads like this, the more I am glad I dont have that life. It must be so hard.

Anyway, isnt Kates coat smashing....

CarolDanvers · 28/12/2018 09:45

@3luckystars you may be right that he was just trying to shut her down. He did glance at the cameras a few times. I'd like to think it's that. They're slagging her off in the mail again today about her first wedding and how she gave out weed as party favours. One comment about keeping an eye on her on her public appearances round the country in case she was "establishing county lines" made me Grin but most were pretty awful.

ElektraLOL · 28/12/2018 09:48

Trying to make sure people don't lip read? That's definitely reaching 🤣🤣🤣

Usually they will only be saying mundane stuff anyway. That's the whole point - to make sure they look united.

CarolDanvers · 28/12/2018 10:04

They do though. There's constant lip reading speculation in the media. Have you not seen it before?

KingfordRun · 28/12/2018 10:31

Kate doesn’t look old. Meghan has probably had access to the best dermatologists & ‘Hollywood’ v subtle filler, botox etc. Also M’s got genetics on her side, her mother looks to have great skin.

K’s circle & women like her will likely as not have worn make-up from a young age (protects skin) & won’t have had a Hollywood skincare regime & the best derms on speed dial. If you have had this you will likely have radiant & glowy skin, whatever your age. Good skin can be slowly acquired...

I remember wearing make-up on holiday & K’s type of crowd thought it was up there with wearing diamonds before teatime :) the upshot was I had better skin for age. Bracing walks & outdoor pursuits with no SPF plus lead to broken blood vessels & are murder for the skin.

user1457017537 · 28/12/2018 10:33

I think Carol Middleton would have an excellent dermatologist on speed dial.
