I love Kate. She will always be my no.1 Duchess
She has turned making things look effortless into an art form

serenmoon · 29/10/2018 08:19

It’s not a flattering picture that’s painted of William, though does match with what I’ve heard before. I can’t understand what Charles hopes to achieve from this.
I think I touched my bump a lot around that stage as had a lot of stretching pains and aches so can’t criticize Meghan for doing it.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/10/2018 08:19

The blue velvet was Seraphine.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/10/2018 08:21

@DonkeysDontRideBicycles Pippa confirmed she didn't suffer from bad sickness in her Waitrose column, and I assume Meghan didn't as she was out and about a lot over the summer, unlike poor Kate who disappeared for over a month.

I read the DM article too. Just why?
Everything was calm and Charles was v. Popular after being so charming to Doria at Megs wedding.
Now this unessary rubbish.

Beautiful pictures of Kate, thanks curly

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 29/10/2018 08:22

To be fair Kate has had longer to get used tho the role - she was with William since university. Meghan has been thrust into it very quickly & is still finding her feet.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/10/2018 08:24

@CurlyWurlyTwirly No, the one I'm thinking of was Erdem. https://amp.businessinsider.com/kate-middleton-ditched-her-classic-style-2018-2

Kate has a very long torso and great muscles so it’s no surprise she had small bumps. Also if she suffered badly with morning sickness that I can see that she wouldn’t have gained weight other than baby. I think I read somewhere that her ms wasn’t as bad with Charlotte as it was with George, not sure about with Louis.

Paradyning · 29/10/2018 08:28

Its all about context though. That's why the video shows more info than.a picture. Guessing it irks me more than most.
Anyway. Love her green brown wrap coat.

beanaseireann · 29/10/2018 08:29

I still think it extraordinary that Doria had nobody at the wedding - a friend, a cousin - a support.
Perhaps she did but we were not told.
I certainly hope so.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/10/2018 08:29

True @IPromiseIWontBeNaughty, she's had a long time to get used to it. I think Meghan is doing pretty well considering it's not even been a year since they got engaged.

I touched my stomach a lot when pregnant even before I had a visible bump. It was subconscious! I still touch my stomach a lot know and now have a toddler so I seem to have continued it

WipsGlitter · 29/10/2018 08:42

Love her casual looks today. But not that white jacket dress. They are horrible but she really seems to like that style.

Is this an authorised biography of Charles?

peridito · 29/10/2018 08:43

Paradyning - once you've noticed an irritating tic you see it all the more and it becomes even more annoying Smile

Just don't mention those locks of hair falling either side of Meghan's face and escaping from a messy bun.......

peridito · 29/10/2018 08:45

Wisp on Amazon it's described as unofficial but that the Palace agreed to cooperate .

Perhaps someone can translate that for me ?

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 29/10/2018 08:51

That mustard Erdem dress of Kate's should come with a trigger warning!

I touched my bump all the time when I was pg.

RainbowsArePretty · 29/10/2018 08:54

The biography will be a huge mistake. PC is more popular than in years gone by so it seems a bizarre decision.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/10/2018 09:02

Unofficial but with palace cooperation just sounds like Charles wanted his say but can dismiss it as unauthorised nonsense if he wants to!

I don't like the brown grey jacket with huge collar Meghan wore to a cafe in New Zealand.

mmmgoats · 29/10/2018 09:28

I’m shocked by the extracts of the book - surely this is just going to put further strain on Charles’ relationship with his sons?
It seems like the - if the palace has okayed this - it’s a sly way to try and make william and harry and the Duchesses less popular than they currently are and raise Charles up a little. But it seems like a narrow minded ill thought out plan if that’s the case.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/10/2018 09:44

There were stories that Charles was jealous of the attention Diana received, but he'd have to be a very insecure man to be jealous of his sons surely?

OP posts:
owlshooting · 29/10/2018 09:47

I really can't understand why he's doing this either. It makes no sense at all. Just when one son is married and about to be a father and the other has just had his third child. It is so ill judged and just comes across as malicious.

mmmgoats · 29/10/2018 09:47

@queenoftheandals you would hope, but to me that’s totally how it comes across... could be misinterpreting it though

owlshooting · 29/10/2018 09:56

Presumably Harry is aware of this book and it must be casting a shadow across the end of what has been a very successful tour.
