Harry & Meghan have arrived in Sydney.
The purple folders coordinating with her coat will not slow down speculation...

Kate is way too thin and it really does make her look gaunt and old. The dress is awful. Her smile is rictus-like and her expressions in the car are quite revealing.

Charles has always had a red face. He likes the good life too much and he appears to be fed up waiting for his turn on the throne. I don’t care for him having read much about his petulance.

Meghan’s dress aside, many will be sick of the sight of her tics: the hair flicking (is that because her natural hair isn’t flickable, I wonder?); the simpering smile alternating with the put on, wide eyed look; the bump cradling; the desperate handholding, the huge awareness of the beloved cameras. Etc

As an aside, I love how some of you are now diagnosing even the mental health of Pruce Charles. 🙄

@Silentisla

We try to keep this a naice thread. Mainly about clothes. We do venture into gossip territory, but there is a reason it is not on Aibu....

Oh dear

SilentIsla · 24/10/2018 11:36

So it is nice to speculate on Prince Charles’ health? Really?

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/10/2018 11:37

I don't know whether William has an ongoing MH issue but it's not inconceivable that he might've needed some help in the past, given his parents' bitter split and mother's death. Hasn't Harry said that he sought counselling at one point? They are certainly committed to the cause of young people's mental health, which is commendable.

SilentIsla · 24/10/2018 11:37

PRINCE

SilentIsla · 24/10/2018 11:39

Mea culpa - the speculation is about Ptrince William’s mental health...

PawneeParksDept · 24/10/2018 11:46

So I think any man would have mental health issues having experienced the following :

The very bitter, very public, divorce of his parents which then resulted in very tug of love parenting until her death

The emotional isolation that can affect men who boarded.

The fact that no matter his personal interests, talents or desires, he has no choice in career.

The fact that anecdotal evidence points to Harry having had a very straightforward relationship with Diana whereas his was more complex and possibly more toxic

The time :

  1. police officers came to reprimand her for nuisance phone calls to some bloke and or his wife and she called William in, said it was him and the police bollocked him. It was her.

  2. She rang Eton and arranged for William to watch her famous interview live. During this interview he discovered whilst sitting with his HOY, that both his parents had cheated on each other and that his Mum thought his brother was better suited to the throne

  3. The time he sat outside pushing tissues under the bathroom door because she wouldn't come out and wouldn't stop crying

And that's just the common knowledge stuff

Marching behind your dead mums coffin as cameras filmed you and random strangers wailed and yelled your name

Your Uncle having a go at your Granny from the pulpit of your Mums funeral and choosing at 14 or so to practically go NC with him as a result.

Yes, I'd say that would make any man struggle from clinical depression and why Cambridge's have a focus on MH IMO

Wow Max is in bright fushia with a teeny tiny hat! Still looks beaut though.

Paradyning · 24/10/2018 11:52

Hmmm Sophie's not on best form really. She's veered from her 50s look and it doesn't suit her as well.

LimpyLampy · 24/10/2018 11:53

Oh any links to the ‘telling’ expressions of Kate in the car? I love seeing them look ‘real’ 😀

I wonder do they get married and marvel at the sudden fame and every indulgence being met and then one morning wake up and think ‘well this is just shit’!!!!

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/10/2018 11:54

That first shot of Max looks like she's wearing a cast of an arse on her head!

Sophie looks good, a leaf out of Meghan's book there, but the hat is a bit 1960s air hostess.

Moononthehill28 · 24/10/2018 11:55

Totally agree Pawnee.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 24/10/2018 11:55

Dinky little hat!

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/10/2018 11:59

I've created a new thread for when this one fills up!

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/10/2018 12:01

Pawnee I agree with you, it sounds like his relationship with Diana was very complex and co-dependent. Which makes me wonder what she'd have been like as a MiL. Kate would've been on AIBU every day!

user1457017537 · 24/10/2018 12:07

Thank you! Flowers

FlamingJuno · 24/10/2018 12:47

Max is just breathtaking. A proper stunner, intelligent, successful in her own right, looks like she enjoys her role. And that tiara! Only she could carry that off, it's so totally OTT.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 24/10/2018 12:48

Queen Thank you! I was beginning to panic there...

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/10/2018 13:06

Going...
