I love the royal family and everything to do with them (past and present, im a history geek), i thought i knew alot about them but theres so much i dont know!

I didn’t notice Jeremy Corbyn trousers, what was wrong? I thought he was wearing a parka coat, but might have not seen correctly the sun is on the screen and I can’t really see everything.

Carbivorous · 11/11/2018 11:16

Kate looks AMAZING!

Paradyning · 11/11/2018 11:19

Meghan's shoulders on her coat look very Givenchyesque again.

ElspethFlashman · 11/11/2018 11:19

Pretty sure the entire reason Eddie was "only" made Earl on his marriage was cos DofE was intended for him and his descendants. Whereas Charles and Andrew are already Dukes. So is say that's a lock. I don't begrudge it, the DofE awards will always require a good bit of work and I believe he's taken on a fair bit of it already.

AhoyDelBoy · 11/11/2018 11:20

Kate really does look AMAZING! Love it and different from her normal look IMO.

NoParticularPattern · 11/11/2018 11:26

Just come on to say that I’ve just seen Kate’s outfit and bloody hell she looks amazing!! I bloody love her outfit! Didn’t see much of MMs but also looked good!! Mind you, how wrong can you get black/navy in winter?! Although TM has given it a fairly good go....

WindyWednesday · 11/11/2018 11:27

Kate looks fantastic.

soundsgreektome · 11/11/2018 11:29

Love Kate’s outfit today. Has she altered her makeup recently, something has changed since she’s back from maternity she looks a little older?

AhoyDelBoy · 11/11/2018 11:32

A look at Kate’s Remembrance Day outfits throughout the years I love what she has worn this year!

WindyWednesday · 11/11/2018 11:32

I think Kate looks tired.

Spudlet · 11/11/2018 11:32

That coat Kate is wearing looks stunning. Very sharp. I like.

I don't know how they maintain that stiff upper lip though - I was in tears during the silence. I don't know if it's the centenary thing, or being a bit under the weather, or hormones or what! I would struggle with some of the engagements the Royals do, that's for sure. I would need regal Kleenex available at all times.

AhoyDelBoy · 11/11/2018 11:33

She’s probably aged abit since she’s had Louis. Three little ones would do that too ya!

AhoyDelBoy · 11/11/2018 11:34

I agree she looks tired but she still looks amazing. I wish I looked that good tired!

soundsgreektome · 11/11/2018 11:35

Well yes, three kids did that to me too! But she looks almost too powdery? Too matt.

beanaseireann · 11/11/2018 11:36

I think Kate looks tired too WindyWednesday

Why did Melania wear ( paleish) grey today and a cobalt blue brooch at the armistice remembrance in Paris today ?
I felt it was an odd choice.

fredleighton · 11/11/2018 11:41

I thought Kate looked like Mary Poppins!

WindyWednesday · 11/11/2018 11:43

She also looks more serious like she has a weight on her shoulders. Not today, obviously needs a serious face. But for a while she’s looked more serious.

I wouldn’t want to swap lives.

peridito · 11/11/2018 11:46

In paradyning's link I thought Kate/Catherine looked tired with bags under her eyes .

And ...Meghan putting her hands on her bump ,I really don't think it's attention seeking ,it's because most ppl in the public eye have to do something with their hands .If they're stationary ,have no clutch bag ,not ho;ding hands with another 99% clasp them in front of them . If you've got a bump you're going to rest them on it .

Or hold them above it - an odd look ,or beneath ( which will = "cradling" )

BlingLoving · 11/11/2018 11:58

Queen standing with two senior women. Meghan with the most senior guest. For the German president wife, that's appropriate. Meghan is 4th most senior woman present.

AhoyDelBoy · 11/11/2018 11:59

If you have a look at her looks throughout the years in the link above you will see she looks noticeably more tired in 2013.

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/11/2018 12:14

Kate looks amazing, if a bit too severe. Meghan looks great too and maybe a word was had re poppies.

What’s wrong with TM’s outfit......? She’s a 60 something politician not a model. I always think she looks very good, she has dreadful posture but if I was battling with the issues she has at the moment I doubt I would even have the motivation to brush my hair...give the woman a break even if her politics are not to your (or my) taste.

Paradyning · 11/11/2018 12:20

Melania's wearing the cornflower, the French equivalent of the poppy, not a blue brooch.

Carbivorous · 11/11/2018 12:28

I think perhaps Kate just had a late night last night.
