Seeing as the Spencer wedding thread in S&B was so popular, here's a thread to discuss all royal fashion.

(If we could stick to critiquing the clothes rather than the women wearing them then that would be great!)

That's interesting! I was struck by Princess Angela's wedding dress, though!

Is Andrew not gay? Why did I always think he was?

I thought it was Edward that was meant to be gay?

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/06/2018 17:37

I once met someone who used to work as a royal protection officer and after a few drinks he admitted that one of the Queen's children was gay but "it's not the one you'd think". Course he could've just been making it all up...

Remember when Fergie recently took all that money for access to Prince Andrew? I always think that was worse than the toe pictures.

Clionba · 25/06/2018 19:00

To add to the "cash" thing, it was a tabloid sting, and she did claim she'd been drinking, but I still think it was a bad situation to be in.

petrolpump28 · 25/06/2018 19:54

Annes gay?

user1457017537 · 25/06/2018 20:25

Re tabloid sting she was still willing to go along with it though and how many times before that

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/06/2018 20:33

I think Fergie was telling the truth in that tabloid sting and that Andrew would've happily met with anyone for £500k.

But the sting that really surprises me is the Sophie one. How could a woman who'd worked in PR for so long fall for the fake sheikh's story?

Quite greedy really isn’t it! Not to mention dubious morally

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 25/06/2018 21:28

Blog which goes into great detail about Meghan’s clothes interesting that Oscar de la Renta dress was supposed to be oversized & trailing, if you see it on the model ( probably 5’ 10” in the ad campaign

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/06/2018 22:24

I think Meghan has another engagement with the Queen tomorrow. It's quite hot at the moment so she may sneak out the shoulders!

The Oscar de la Renta dress may have been oversized and trailing on the 5’10” model but proportionally it fitted her. It didn’t fit MM and just swamped her small frame. She is not fashion model size just petite.

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/06/2018 07:27

She's supposed to be 5'7 but looks more petite than that. But then again Harry is very tall and it could be like Letizia of Spain who is also 5'7 but looks tiny because her husband is 6'6!

Today's Express has shocking news about Kate, SHOCKING I tell you! But then you read it and realise it there's nothing remotely shocking about it. What did they think her title would be? Diana didn't own it!

Royal Prince Inherits Father's Title After His Death Shocker!!!!

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/06/2018 09:16

I was just thinking that barring an unfortunate death, we are probably looking at a string of upcoming OAP monarchs. If the Queen takes after her mum then she could live another 10 years, meaning Charles will be in his 80s when he inherits. If he lives as long as her then William could be mid-60s by the time he becomes King and then the same would apply to George and probably his children too. QEII was unusually young when she acceded because George VI died so young. 25 is really no age at all to lose a parent.

Is there any private garden in Kensington Palace.
In this hot weather it's lovely to be able to relax in the garden.
Can the Queen in Buckingham Palace pop out with a cuppa and sit in the garden with a newspaper ?
One of life's little pleasures.
Or lie on a sun lounger topping up a tan.
Or those Royals living in Kensington Palace ?

I think MM may be 5’7” in 5 inch heels

user1457017537 · 26/06/2018 09:45

Most actresses (and actors) are tiny in real life.

Whitesea · 26/06/2018 10:13

I've obviously a lot of time on my hands as I have just googled MM and came across a very informative site that offers such gems as MM is 61kg which is the same weight as me. I'm a very curvy five foot two which means she really is five foot seven or she is not that weight.

SleepingStandingUp · 26/06/2018 10:32

Shes apparently 5 ft 7 and he's just over 6 ft 1. So 5 inches different without heel. I reckon she added on an inch into portfolio

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/06/2018 10:56

@Whitesea I'd be very surprised if she was 61kg, 51 is more like it!

OP posts:
harrietm87 · 26/06/2018 12:22

Yeah no way is she 61kg! I'm 5'7 and was 60kg before I got pregnant and that was a size 10 with sizeable arse!

user1457017537 · 26/06/2018 12:40

So in that photo she is wearing high heels and is still significantly shorter than PH.
If she was 5’7” and him 6’1” 4 inch heels would make her a couple of inches shorter than him. I’m 5.6 and my DH is 6ft in heels I’m nearly the same size. The camera also adds 10lbs and MM looks waif like. I’m getting overinvested in this now!
