Lol at the assumption kate getting 'stressed sorting the veil and watching the kids'

Really? Hmm

Some people just love to find fault.

Theycalledmethewildrose · 21/05/2017 14:03

The nanny was just inside the door. They probably didn't want her in the photos .

I imagine the kids walked down the aisle scattering petals before Pippa and Kate followed her.

Love the dress. Hate the veil. Don't like veils, not just hers.

RortyCrankle · 21/05/2017 14:54

I thought Pippa's dress was gorgeous but thought Kate's outfit was really frumpy, not helped by the colour.

nina2b · 21/05/2017 16:56

Pity there were so few proper photographs of Kate. She seemed to be herding the cats most of the time and looked ruffled.
Interestingly, there were few of Carole or the groom's mother, either. It's as if the prominent women were under instructions not to draw even the tiniest bit of attention from Pippa.
Not much sign of Spencer either - although that was probably a blessing!!
And isn't there a daughter in the Matthews' family?

Big hmmmmmm

nina2b · 21/05/2017 17:00

People refer to Kate's blusher but I think that was more of a genuine flush.
Pippa clearly tries to outdo her sister but she cannot achieve what is an impossible goal. Kate is much prettier and that fact cannot be hidden by a peach get-up.

Not her wedding.

Or maybe they didn't want to be papped.

There was at least one picture of Carole that I have seen with her arriving with her son.

There have only been a few pictures released from the many hundreds probably thousands taken.

Jeez it was the woman's wedding. Why people have to have constant digs I don't know.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 21/05/2017 17:05

Oh it's clearly blusher.

No one blushes in a stripe.

Yes, funny that outdoing comment.

It was Pippa's wedding.

WTF. You sound unhinged.

Riiiiiiight.Hmm

RockyBird · 21/05/2017 17:29

I'm sure I've seen Kate wearing an almost identical ensemble to the peach effort yesterday, only it was pale grey. Can't find a pic though.

Effortlessly beautiful

caitlinohara · 21/05/2017 17:41

Absolutely stunning and so much nicer than Kate's wedding dress.

Kate looks dreadful for once. Nasty colour and what's with those sleeves?! And the hat? wtf?

EC22 · 21/05/2017 17:54

it looks nice from the back.
Dreadfully old fashioned from the front.

DarklyDreamingDexter · 21/05/2017 17:55

Absolutely beautiful. Elegant, timeless, classic, stunning. The complete opposite of all those tearful trollops on 'Say yes to the Dress' with thousands to spends on tarty frocks with their boobs hanging out.

I don't care what they wear. People are living in abject poverty in this country. This just highlights the huge disparity between the rich and poor.

lazycrazyhazy · 21/05/2017 18:05

I didn't like it from the stills but when I saw it on TV I did. Still think those arms are over-worked though....

PossomInAPearTree · 21/05/2017 18:07

Can I just say I really don't think the pageboy was flicking the Vs.

In another photo taken just before he's holding three fingers up. I wonder if they were counting down the minutes until the arrival of the bride?

I just feel a bit sorry for this poor kid who will now always be known as the kid who flipped the bird at the paps.

PollyPerky · 21/05/2017 18:11

I'm laughing at the 'not so many pics of Mother Middleton and Catherine.' What you mean is we are not party to them! The family album may be full of them.

I thought the dress was okay. I'm not a huge fan of so much heavy lace, or high necklines. It was very elegant and she's got a good figure but I think the lace dominated it too much.

I did not like Catherine's outfit at all. It was ageing and frumpy, imo.
In fact it's the worst thing I've ever seen her in.

Carole looked good though I wondered if there was a dress under that coat-dress, or if she would change for the reception? It was too heavy to wear all day.

I'm a bit tired of the negative comments about James ' looks. he's not handsome at all, but he may be a very nice person. Pippa is no beauty but she's made the best of herself with the help of money for any tweaks / best products/ help, anyone can buy.

It's people like this who put money into the pockets of the 'poor'- think of all the money this wedding generated for small businesses and the self employed. And then they will have tax deducted which pays benefits. It's called 'economics'.

nina2b · 21/05/2017 18:16

I think James Matthews looks nice. This is the younger version with Spencer in front and the brother who was lost on Everest, beside him.

Erm...I assumed I did not have to spell it out. Confused
