I was referring to the Queen's children. Diana had a title but that was about it, she wasn't royalty though of course she counted kings as her ancestors.

Do we know if Eugenie is wearing a Westwood bridal gown? I suppose it's a secret as usual? She's made for Westwood and it would be so cool to see her rock something stunning from that house.

MrsGrindah · 03/10/2018 17:29

I think Meghan looked great today. Fantastic colour

MissLingoss · 03/10/2018 18:03

The QM came from a titled family, but some of the Bowes Lyon ancestors were fairly ordinary. Some of them were called Smith!

Hi everyone. I've been lurking on your threads since Harry and Megan's wedding. Loving the goss, but really in for the posh frocks. I think Megan's outfit today is gorgeous and will quash all the pregnancy rumours ha! Really glad she hasn't toed the royal line with her clothes.
Looking forward to seeing the whole family and celebs at Eugenie's do

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/10/2018 18:10

Given that we said just yesterday that she'd look great in that shade green, she's obviously a MNetter and reading this thread!!

Princess Charlotte is absolutely lovely. The short straw indeed.

BrightonGallery7 · 03/10/2018 18:28

Prince George used to be a bit grouchy. Lately, it has been Charlotte’s turn. Shame, because her smiles are adorable!

owlshooting · 03/10/2018 19:30

Really love the outfit today, and the jewellery! She looks stunning and they both look so in love. Refreshing to see.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/10/2018 19:45

I like this photo of Meghan from today's event, mainly because her hair looks just like mine when I straighten it - lots of stubborn little bits that stick up and don't lie flat!

And this is a lovely shot of her but alas Harry's hair is heading the way of his brother's...

I don’t think George is necessarily grouchy. He is just being a four or five year old. I also think Charlotte is cute in the way every little child is cute.

However, I think the Middleton’s are a far better looking family than the Windsors (or whatever name they are currently using) and as a result George is lucky to have inherited his looks from his mother’s side of the family.

Jackietheduck · 03/10/2018 21:49

Queen I noticed Harry’s hair in other recent photos too. I guess the beard will be shaved off when he gets the same haircut as his brother.

owlshooting · 03/10/2018 21:50

George is a shy and sensitive boy I think . He has bags of character. Charlotte looks like a mini Queen Elizabeth. She is an altogether different sort of child.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/10/2018 22:16

I thought there were no more engagements til Eugenie's wedding but W&K are making an appearance at a mental health summit next Tuesday.

Can't deny that that's true. The Spencer aren't particularly attractive either - Diana was an exception. Or the story about her being less Spencer than Goldsmith are true!

frugalkitty I remember Royal Romances! Still have a few of them.

I met Prince Charles a few years ago, and he's very relaxed and charismatic in person. Also better looking than in photos. Total silver fox!

Meghan looked wonderful today, her skin is absolutely glowing. Loved the outfit except I think slightly too much of the skirt was showing under the hem of the coat. But the coat itself was lovely and far more flattering than the bathrobe-type ones she's worn in the past.

PlainVanilla · 04/10/2018 03:51

I thought the Duchess of Sussex looked untidy. 4 different colours, including shoes, hair escaping, I don't think a leather skirt is appropriate for royal duties either.
In my opinion she would have been better served by wearing a jumpsuit with an unstructured jacket, but what do I know?

QueenOfTheAndals · 04/10/2018 04:13

When you’re a woman of colour, your hair will tend to “escape” and be considered untidy by white standards. So I think it’s rather clever of her to make the “messy bun” her signature hairdo.

I love a messy updo, who says hair should always be as neat as a pin. Kate has messy curls on many occasions and her hair blowing in the wind and doesn’t get any criticism for it.

Clionba · 04/10/2018 07:41

I thought they both looked great, very happy and enjoying the visit. Meghan looked very stylish, I agree that it's a challenge for women of colour to have very near hair, but she looks great with that bun. It's easy for me, poker straight shiny hair, only ever needs a comb through! Never use straighteners or product - Meghan probably has to put a lot of work in for her look! Great skirt and blouse.

Clionba · 04/10/2018 07:41

neat hair

evilharpy · 04/10/2018 08:10

I loved Meghan's outfit. I can see how the leather skirt would be a bit marmite but I thought it was gorgeous and really suited her - if I had the legs for it I would love to wear something similar. The green was great on her too. Great jewellery. A winner for me all round.

Haz looked fab too. Very relaxed.

EmGee · 04/10/2018 10:46

I think Meghan looks fab - I love her messy up do, nice accessories and that beautiful face/smile. I read the comments on one of the blogs upthread....and am off to order some Laura Mercier ‘Radiance Primer’... which she allegedly wears!

beanaseireann · 04/10/2018 11:57

Megan looked so lovely yesterday.
