Weird looking hat alright, but that is a good looking family.

Meghan could only wear reds with a blue undertone, not reds with a yellow undertone. Oxblood looked gorgeous on her.

On the second chart down (it could be a paint chart Smile) she could not wear Rhubarb Red, Cranberry, Strawberry, Candy Apple Red, Turkey Red, Maroon, Ruby Red, Scarlet or Vermilion, or Red 1, 2, 3, or 4.
All the rest would look nice on her. They are muted and/or have a blue undertone.

I'm loving your paint chart, mathanxiety!
Maybe you should offer your services to Megs! Smile

Grin I could give up my day job!

You'd have your hands full with the Royals alone, pet! Grin

@CurlyWurlyTwirly I think Mathilde needs to swap the newsreader hair for something softer as it's so ageing. Random fact about Mathilde: she's the first queen of Belgium who's actually Belgian!

Does anyone else think she's had lots of work done? I always find her a little odd looking but can't put my finger in it.
Their son is the spit of the King!

QueenOfTheAndals · 21/07/2018 22:30

I think they all have. Even Kate looks like she’s been subtly botoxing for years. She stops when she’s pregnant but then re-emerges a few months after the birth looming fresher than ever. Can’t blame her really, given the way her appearance is scrutinised. Letizia has admitted to having a nose job, or so I’ve heard.

paradyning · 21/07/2018 22:34

Leti did. 'For medical reasons' apparently. Aye right.

VanillaSugar · 22/07/2018 02:05

Yes, Kate has definitely had work done.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 22/07/2018 07:16

No I don’t think Kate has had Botox. Here are Louis’s christening, she can still move her face.
No shiny waxy immobile forehead for Kate.

It looks like she's had some at two points by the eye socket just above the cheek, but possibly a year ago. Nothing in the forehead.

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/07/2018 08:05

I think forehead would be too obvious. But other than a bit of Botox I don't think she's had any real work done. I wonder if the smoking stories are true? I'm quite tickled at the idea of her nipping round the back of Kensington Palace for a cheeky fag!

I saw an interview with Fergie recently and I think she's been at the injectables as parts of her face didn't move.

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/07/2018 08:08

Ah here we go, apparently it's "organic Botox". It's in the Express so it must be true!!

Clionba · 22/07/2018 09:20

Mystery solved! Who knows. I like the idea of her having a crafty ciggy. She's so elegant and ladylike!

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/07/2018 09:59

W&K have released a new photo of George to mark his birthday. The blond hair and twee clothes fool people into thinking he looks like his dad but he's actually far more like Pa Middleton!

Queen I've been saying that for years- the same broad face.

Clionba · 22/07/2018 10:04

He is Mr Middleton! I also think that Charlotte looks like Carole.

MissLingoss · 22/07/2018 12:01

In one of the christening photos, I thought George had a slight look of George VI. I think it was more the angle of the shot and the expression on his face, but it struck me on first seeing it.

I've always thought Charlotte looks like Grandpa Middleton.

Quantumblue · 22/07/2018 12:31

If we are going to get into more obscure royals, can anyone explain to me why Stephanie of Luxembourg almost always looks so frumpy? She must have heaps of money to spend on stylists, couture etc. It is possible she just does not care, which is of course her right.

Good lord, Stephanie is only 34 according to Wikipedia! She has been married since 2012 but they've not had any kids yet, though they still have plenty of time of course.

In royal baby news I just saw that Charlotte Casiraghi is due to have her second child next month. She is the image of her mother as a young woman!

Princess Caroline doesn't seem to have had much luck in love has she? First husband was a much older playboy, second husband died and she's estranged from her current husband (who is a nasty piece of work, by all accounts) but apparently she won't divorce him as then she'll revert to being a Serene Highness rather than a Royal one!

Princess Caroline was/is my favourite Royal.
She was incredibly beautiful when young and simply stunning. She is chic and elegant

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/07/2018 18:57

She really was, and Charlotte is so like her. Stephanie was attractive too but had even worse luck in love. And let's not even go there with the weirdness of the Albert and Charlene situation, although she seems happier since the twins were born.

OP posts:
SenecaFalls · 22/07/2018 18:59

Caroline is still beautiful, in my opinion.

Paradyning · 22/07/2018 19:01

I feel sorry for Stephanie. Everyone is in womb watch and if she's struggling to conceive then imagine having that in the public eye.
She needs a stylist in her life mind!

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/07/2018 19:12

She is @SenecaFalls. I always think she looks haunted, which wouldn't be surprising given the tragedies she's had to endure.
