Completely agree that MM's outfits are not fitting her well at all! She needs to lose JM as her stylist ASAP.

@QueenOfTheAndals - I had to laugh at your 'headline' thing this morning re:veruccas!! Then I went into work and asked a patient if she had any medical concerns and she said "yes, veruccas" which made me really laugh!! (to myself)!

I was no fan of Camilla for years (not that she'd care Grin)

Now i look at Charles and he looks decrepit at 70 and Diana would probably be still looking very glam at ... 57 is it? if she was still alive. Camilla's a better match for him. (they don't even live together do they?) i just think meh now.

Wouldn't want to see her given the title of Queen though. When the time comes.

I really like Camilla and never though I would.

owlshooting · 25/10/2018 17:17

It's even sadder that Camilla's husband was serially unfaithful to her. She seems to have decided that infidelity was just par for the course. She had an affair with Charles which her husband wasn't bothered about. Diana's life was ruined because of it, so she decided she would have affairs and behave increasingly badly herself. Oliver Hoare's wife and Julia Carling were casualties of her sense of entitlement. It just got worse and worse as Diana became more and more unhappy.
It seems William and Harry have made their peace with Camilla , though it must have been hard. I guess they want their father to be happy , so that shows maturity on their part. He and Camilla seem very well suited in a way he and Diana certainly weren't. It's just very sad Diana never found the right man in her life. She could have remarried, had more children and started a whole new life. She either chose men who were thick and not of her status, or men who were unavailable or not interested. Dodi Fayed would not have lasted I think, and he was totally unsuitable.

The ongoing Camilla joke in Gavin and Stacey makes me howl.

LimpyLampy · 25/10/2018 17:29

I read that William only has time for Camilla when in public. Otherwise he avoids her to the extent of going in the opposite direction if he spots her. His children do not call her granny and the children do not spend much time with C and C at all!

I’m surprised to hear Jessica Moroney is a stylist. Last night I flicked in some photos of M&H’s wedding and googled to find out who the two pageboys with really terrible 1990’s hairstyles were and they were Moroneys.

TipseyTorvey · 25/10/2018 17:50

I know what pp are saying about the outfits not quite fitting right but when I was pregnant I found that the bump was tiny in the morning and huge by the afternoon. It's probably proving a bit of a nightmare trying to work out what might fit at any given time of the day so they're trying to be more lose and flowing. She can't do what I did and just tie a hairband around her jean buttons and wear a loose top I guess. I found it hard at work in a corporate environment, where I'd been all tight hobbs dresses, to hide it earlier on. People must have thought I'd just lost my style!

SenecaFalls · 25/10/2018 18:06

I read that William only has time for Camilla when in public.

He and Kate did have her granddaughter as one of their bridesmaids. I doubt that would have happened if the relationship is as cool as you suggest.

legolammb · 25/10/2018 18:39

I loved all of Meghan's Tonga outfits so far - the white dress was really elegant I thought. Feel so bad for her re. the label error though - her stylists really should be on top of that kind of thing! She must be very frustrated by things like that and the market thing dominating the headlines over her actual work - her speech the other day was great.

Paradyning · 25/10/2018 18:42

Didn't realise the lady in national dress walking behind them from the plane is the Tongan Princess!

OlennasWimple · 25/10/2018 18:55

The upper class really do have a knack of buggering up families, don't they?

VanillaSugary · 25/10/2018 18:57

Maybe Kate and William were told to have the granddaughter as the bridesmaid?

LimpyLampy · 25/10/2018 19:02

He and Kate has her granddaughter as bridesmaid

He is supposed to get on with her children though.

William also acted as best man at Charles and Camilla’s wedding. I think their relationship is very complex. He had no reason to state publicly that Camilla was not his children’s grandmother. It could easily have been left unsaid. They didn’t speak at her 70th either although did attend. I don’t suppose stepmothers are ever really welcomed and a lot may be for their father’s sake.

This came from the Kensington Palace insta account. I'm sure Meghan will thank them later.

eaglefly · 25/10/2018 19:12

Wow some of those comments under the Instagram post are really awful

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 25/10/2018 19:15

@VanillaSugary

Poor Meghan.
She has had a rough few days of it.
I think this tour has been really hard on her.
Kudos for keeping her composure and soldiering on.
Jessica Mulroney may not be the greatest stylist but at least she can be there for Meg as a friend.

Paradyning · 25/10/2018 19:17

More tiaras. Norwegian this time.
Mette-Marit must be feeling brave following the announcement of ill health yesterday. She looks lovely.

Paradyning · 25/10/2018 19:19

And Haakon. Looking HOT!

MotherofPearl · 25/10/2018 19:20

RE those comments - I really wonder what drives people to make such hurtful personal remarks about someone they don't know and will likely never meet. I would be crushed reading comments like that about myself.

That's what's nice about this thread - it's mostly pleasant, light-hearted chat about the clothes.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 25/10/2018 19:21

Just been reading about CP Mette-Marit’s pulmonary disease

I suspect they are downplaying it. The prognosis is not great; and life-limiting is saddening to hear.
I hope her eldest son comes back to Norway to spend time with his mum.

MotherofPearl · 25/10/2018 19:26

I agree with all the pp saying that some of Meghan's recent outfits have been a bit ill-fitting. I wonder whether the main problem isn't the bump/thickened waist but instead the larger bust combined with some quite high necklines?

The white, red and green dresses from the last few days have all had high necks, which don't flatter a larger bosom?

Paradyning · 25/10/2018 19:27

Gosh didn't realise it had such a short prognosis. that's very sad.

VanillaSugary · 25/10/2018 19:38

She is so young 

Paradyning · 25/10/2018 19:39

Think she's wearing her amythests
