Grey bob and glasses. Never smiled or laughed once.

Who is she?

@Notanotherwindow I thought that about Charlotte but then she'd been dragged around Cardiff all day at another Jubilee celebration so she was probably knackered and just wanted to be at home with an iPad watching YouTube.

I'm glad someone asked about the miserable woman, because I wondered who she was too.

I'm still wondering who the handsome guy was behing Harry in church yesterday:

met too Bot but I make a conscious effort to look happy! i def would with all the UK looking at me on telly i'd be Grin

Yes I often do too, but it's a real effort to have to try to pretend to look some other way, just so I don't get judged, and sometimes I resent the fact that I have to try so hard to look the way other people expect, when really I'm perfectly happy all along. And by trying so hard to smile and look 'right', I end up not actually being 'in the moment' with what I'm doing. And often look stupid anyway. I know I have strong feelings about it, but I just hated that constant command as a child to 'smile'. or 'you could look so much nicer if you smiled'. or 'don't be so grumpy'. or people making fun of your look to 'tease' you. or 'sourpuss' nicknames. Grrrrrr. So yes, maybe projecting a bit. But still. Maybe she was feeling perfectly happy as she was. or maybe not. But it doesn't mean her face necessarily reflects it. It's not the sort of thing I'd have enjoyed much either, but definitely not if I were feeling constant pressure to look the way someone expected me to.

@tulips27 the Chatto men are very handsome, he could be one of them.

Ropesdope · 05/06/2022 14:12

No wonder the Queen gave it a swerve.

WooNoodle · 05/06/2022 14:17

Why are you policing people's facial expressions? Let people be. This is like the blokes that say "smile love it might never happen"

They probably had no idea who half these performers are, bless them.

They weren't the only ones! Grin

SecondBestBed · 05/06/2022 14:19

I was surprised the royal children were there. It surely wasn’t the sort of thing for children their age.

Momicrone · 05/06/2022 14:21

Does it matter if they didn't know who the performers were? They were lucky to be there, miserable gits

RepublicOfNarnia · 05/06/2022 14:25

Maybe she just has a Resting Bitch Face. Having said that apart from the children the royals really should have done more to look more engaged. I mean if it's your literal one job to look like everything is just lovely then do it properly!!!

newnamethanks · 05/06/2022 14:28

Poor children. That was an ordeal for them. Maybe they couldn't get a babysitter, gran was busy.

Momicrone · 05/06/2022 14:29

As a royal and/or over privileged member of society, I wonder who does excite one?

Notanotherwindow · 05/06/2022 14:34

They had a pretty full on day though, hadn't they already been to Cardiff that day?

I'd be shattered, never mind a child Charlotte's age.

Who is the woman asleep behind Prince Charles on TV right now?

1dayatatime · 05/06/2022 14:56

Platinum Pageant in a red top!

katedan · 05/06/2022 14:58

She is now asleep!! Lady behind Charles. How disrespectful!!!!

Same woman who was miserable as sin last night. Camera angle has now changed to cut her out. If you don't want to be there, excuse yourself but otherwise, try n stay awake fgs and straighten your face.

Isn't a different woman?
Last night's has white hair, today's woman is dark haired.

The Royal children did look bored, but you are not allowed to say the Royal children look bored on MN.

Given that several people have said it, including yourself, then clearly you are allowed.

BilboBagBin · 05/06/2022 15:21

JinglingHellsBells · 05/06/2022 09:39

Her expression never changed once. In every photo she looks as miserable as sin.

There would never in a million years be a thread on MN about a man who didn’t smile.

Staffy1 · 05/06/2022 15:41

in the two pictures I saw she is smiling.

FictionalCharacter · 05/06/2022 15:45

@Ponoka7 He doesn’t look like one of the Chatto lads, but I really want to know who he is now!

WooNoodle · 05/06/2022 15:59

Agree. It's disappointing.

BotCrossHuns · 05/06/2022 16:00

and so much depends on the exact second a photo is taken. There were several camera shots of prince George a few minutes ago where his nose was all scrunched up and you might have said he looked bored or spoilt or disgusted with it all, and then seconds later, broad grins and laughing as he talks to his cousins. You really really can't judge from how someone looks - so many other variables!
