I like her hair tonight.

Kate looked very happy , I thought, perhaps she's had enough of staying in and listening to Pippa's boyfriend troubles.

WipsGlitter · 21/10/2015 13:33

I love Camilla, she looks like she would be a right hoot.

She looked lovely. I think she maybe had a sip of wine.

Agree it must be tedious going through the translator all the time.

AFewGoodWomen · 21/10/2015 13:40

I agree it looks boring but at an occasion like this, the normal rules don't apply. Short or even longish periods of polite silence are fine at an event like this. The Cambridgeshire will have been briefed on conversation topics but if they run out of steam, it really doesn't matter the way it would normally when eating dinner next to someone in silence would be excruciating.

I hatethecold

When William & Kate got married there was a nun in the congregation, very very close to where the happy couple were (literally a couple of feet away from them)

My friend who I watched the event with swore blind it was a bloke (royal protection) dressed up! Grin

Any chance you can find out for me please? Grin Grin

TIA

Her makeup was too heavy and ageing for my taste

bigkidsdidit · 21/10/2015 14:44

Aren't camilla and jilly cooper pals? I always imagine camilla has fags and a miniature gin in her handbag

I thought the hair up really aged kate

Asteria36 · 21/10/2015 14:57

I do think poor Camilla gets a really rotten deal, the press constantly hold her up against her predecessor which is so unfair. Just because she isn't quite so photogenic or good at courting the press, doesn't make her a dull person. I know for a fact that she is quite the opposite. As for Kate, why does her entire merit come from how she looks? So much for equality - women are still judged almost entirely by how they look rather than what they do. It is such a shame.

squoosh · 21/10/2015 14:59

I think Camilla gets quite a good deal to be honest. The press seem to leave her alone by and large from what I can see.

Asteria36 · 21/10/2015 15:07

The press don't hound her quite so much, but they are pretty mean about her appearance when she is mentioned. It seems generally acceptable to say very rude things about her on TV shows such as Mock the Week etc.

HopefulAnxiety · 21/10/2015 15:46

Horse definitely a real nun, I am friends with other nuns (really!) who know her.

Agreed that Camilla seems like a good laugh.

SinglePringle · 21/10/2015 16:06

Asteria but what does Kate do? If it might help if she actually did something worthy of comment - especially since she's in a unique position to do a vast amount for charity. However, as she mainly just rocks up in a frock to then stand about looking decorative, what else should we be saying about her?

BrandNewAndImproved · 21/10/2015 16:11

Kates dress and hair looked lovely.

However she looking vacant and bored. She doesn't seem to have any sparkle about her or personality.

Camilla looks like she'd have a few brandies and fall down laughing Grin

BrandNewAndImproved · 21/10/2015 16:11

Looked**

iPaid · 21/10/2015 16:17

I do wish all the Kate haters would stop spoiling every thread about her.

Here she is looking gorgeous today

It's a DM link btw.

ihatethecold · 21/10/2015 16:24

Horse.i haven't heard that story.
I will ask him though.
Imagine drawing short straws to be the officer that had to put a habit on!!

polyhymnia · 21/10/2015 17:06

As far as I know, this is a forum open to everyone with any interest in S and B, not a KM fan club. So I don't thinking that people who give their honest opinion about KM and her choices are 'spoiling' the thread if they're not rolling about in admiration/adoration of her.

SinglePringle · 21/10/2015 17:41

Today's dress is gorgeous. Her hair needs a good 4 inches lopping off the end.

squoosh · 21/10/2015 17:44

You'd think the Chinese Prez could find a better fitting suit!

WaggleBee · 21/10/2015 17:52

Her hair needs a good 4 inches lopping off the end.

Why?

ridinghighinapril · 21/10/2015 17:57

Her hair is very Farrah Fawcett-esque.
Love the dress, amazing figure Envy.

HubertsBirthdayStick · 21/10/2015 18:01

She looks 45.

howtorebuild · 21/10/2015 18:04

Confused Lots of people seem to like a Bob.

*Her hair needs a good 4 inches lopping off the end.
