Special edition: Eugenie wedding thread

Harry and Meghan have 2 days more in NZ before they head back to London and, if I was her, I'd put on pyjamas, get Netflix fired up, and not leave my bed for several days! William and Kate will be out for a sporty engagement in Essex tomorrow and I'm sure we'll start to see them more as she's now officially back from maternity leave..

No idea what the continental royals are up to but New My Royals (does that title even make sense?) is my go-to link for them!

Evening all just popping in for my fox lol.

Red dress on Kate is beautiful
Tania's face is becoming bloated she needs to stop.
Hope Q Maxima gets well soon
Christmas at Sandringham does sound boring for the children!

I think that was everything haha!

Going to watch the M&H documentary, have recorded it. I guess Hollywood star is as diametrically opposite to Royal as you can get. More of an observation than a criticism; Meghan must be using her acting skills to “play the part” of a Duchess, till the behaviour becomes natural. Fake it till you make it.
However, eg Maxima has not toned her Latin American exuberance to become a Dutch Queen. That’s what makes her so fabulous!

Kate & Meghan are going to be at 3 events this weekend

@Queen; just in time for a shiney new thread ...... to discuss how many different ways can you wear black

Yay Curly!

Cams is looking fantastic on her tour. Those outfits really do suit her figure and she seems really comfortable in them but by God are they getting boring now!

I was looking forward to watching the H and M documentary on Virgin 1 as it was on the schedule in an Irish newspaper's tv schedule. However it wasn't shown in Ireland - we got Trevor Mc Donald on the Mafia instead. 

The red Marchesa gown was beautiful.
Not as keen on Camilla's choice of patterned dress, (buying drums for the grandchildren, ha ha!).
I like Queen Rania's outfit, good colour for her.

Hadn't seen that photo of Kate in the red Marchesa before - totally stunning! Red is a great colour on her. Shocked at Rania... it's quite obvious she's messing around with Botox and fillers, what a shame - no need for it at all!

Ooh, Letizia has got in on the pleated skirt action too, and it's only from Zara!

She looks great!

The Zara skirt is lovely

Leti's skirt is fabulous. It would be wonderful for Christmas and New Year dos. Spanish Zara is so much better than the UK version

Tell mr about it @RainbowsArePretty! Even Zara in Australia has nicer clothes than U.K. Zara.

Lovely skirt, the bronze is more subtle than the gold & silver I’ve seen online.

Letizia & Rania used to be very comparable. Similar age, build and colouring. Letizia has not messed with her face and a few laughter lines make her beautiful. I hope whatever Rania has put in her face is reversible and will wear off

Queen how do I do those fancy link things you do?

; but it shows how accomplished Rania is. She was the world’s youngest Queen, aged 28 in 1999

Type in post your link, write your sentence close link.

@Paradyning

I love that from BerkshiretoBuckingham blog.
There’s a lot or screen grabs of some gorgeous Kate dresses I had never seen.

@AhoyDelBoy, just realised that doesn't appear right. Basically you do words

Nope that doesn't work either! Scroll down if you're on desktop rather than mobile and MN explains it.

Ok testing..
HMQ & DoC: A jewellery side by side

Thanks Queen

& Curly

I am finding the use of DoC in particular confusing - could be Camilla, Kate or William, all of whom get discussed on here. I know context shows it, but can't we just use names?

I've just watched some the Rania documentary. Seeing what she has done to her face is all the worse now! What an intelligent and compassionate woman. I was really taken back (in a good way!)to see her out and about on the streets being hugged by local people. I wonder if it is still like that in Jordan?

She would be so much more beautiful without all those chemicals. I hope it all wears off and she goes 'au naturel'.
