Well, what do you think?

honeylou42 · 06/07/2015 15:33

I thought they looked amazing Smile

clottedcreamteawithscone · 06/07/2015 15:41

OK I'll start this off lol!!! I thought K looked old, boring and frumpy and has lost that young girl glow. Her sister steals the limelight everytime and boy does she know it.

Roseybee10 · 06/07/2015 15:49

I feel sorry for Kate. She can't do right for doing wrong no matter what she does. They seem nice enough to me.
Although she did wear a fascinator!!!! Waiting for the firing squad.

yes she is a mother of 2 with 2 nannies, a cook, housekeeper, chauffeur, hairdress to hand oh and her Mother practically lives in...the glow should be there!!!!

FraggleHair · 06/07/2015 16:00

Were Kate and Pippa meant to be matching?

Roseybee10 · 06/07/2015 16:00

Why so judgey? You have no idea how hands on she is. You don't know what their life is like behind closed doors so why be so judgemental?

WixingMords · 06/07/2015 16:02

That's frumpy?

Uh oh

NerrSnerr · 06/07/2015 16:06

To be honest, I always think Katherine looks stunning. I'd love to see pictures of the people on here who think she looks frumpy etc the last time they went to an occasion. They must look amazing.

Mygardenistoobig · 06/07/2015 16:11

I think they all looked great. I wish I was as slim as she is!

William hasn't looked boyish since he was 21. He looks about 48.

Roseybee10 · 06/07/2015 16:15

Agreed nerr!! So tired of seeing women tearing each other down all the time. When someone like her gets slated, what hope do the rest of us have!

They just look rich royal - the massive pram, the hats, the nanny, the old fashioned clothes on the toddler...

I have to say that I think Pippa is pretty. She and her sister have Good genes

Mygardenistoobig · 06/07/2015 16:20

I agree that she looks a lot younger and far more stylish than William . Wouldn't be the first thing I thought of anyway when I see a couple no matter who they are.

hollyisalovelyname · 06/07/2015 16:44

Oops sorry TheHumourlessHarpy.
I thought there was something magical about the whole thing now I only saw pictures on the DM site,not the tv.
Walking down the avenue, in a lovely outfit, pushing the pram with two lovely healthy children and a dh who went against convention ( to some extent) by marrying Kate. They just looked like a dream family.

GreenHamNoeggs · 06/07/2015 16:47

Regardless of whether Catherine looked good or Pippa looked better - which I refuse to get into - I did think the whole thing was a bizarre spectacle which jarred somewhat with modern times.

Fancy dress, really. Which the nanny won hands down Grin

Roseybee10 · 06/07/2015 16:51

I have to admit - I don't love the way they dress George. I find it cringey.

polyhymnia · 06/07/2015 16:58

Agree it's a shame George has to look quite so 50s. Ditto pram but perhaps meant as a graceful compliment to Queen - who did look good .
K's outfit too 'bridal ' for my taste.

hollyisalovelyname · 06/07/2015 17:02

Were Kate and Pippa wearing tights?

thesaurusgirl · 06/07/2015 17:35

Not a fan of the Royals but thought they all looked fabulous, if Sunday evening costume drama is your style.

Kate pushing the giant pram uphill in high heels OTOH Hmm. William should have taken over at that point.
