And we're now at thread 8! Here are some useful royal style blogs
HRH Duchess Kate
Mad About Meghan
New My Royals - good for European royal watching

Coming up this month:

  • The Cambridges are at the Tusk Conservation Awards on Thursday the 8th
  • The Cambridges and Sussexes are at two Remembrance events this weekend the 10th/11th
  • The Sussexes have the Royal Variety Performance on the 19th

Plus Prince Charles turns 70 on the 14th but we may not get photos of the event as he's having a private party.

I think its bad that none of them are wearing a white poppy.

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/11/2018 18:08

Meghan needs to sort those nude tights out. There's no excuse for not being able to find a shade in your correct skin tone these days! And Kate's black sheers are a bit 80s, more like something Diana would've worn.

Ooh I love Kate's green coat!! All my coats are navy, grey or black so they match all my clothes. Would love to have the budget to get a green and a red one. Maybe when I stop paying nursery fees 😂.

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/11/2018 18:09

@Parker231 The media onslaught if they did would be too much for anyone to handle.

I don't think there's a button in the world that Kate doesn't love.

That said, she looks weather appropriate. The hat thing is yuck but her face is lovely.

itswinetime · 11/11/2018 18:12

I don't like those headbands they are very odd! I like Meghans outfit but I would have picked a different hat I think

Kate's tights looked darker on the tele when they arrived.

owlshooting · 11/11/2018 18:13

Kate looks great again. Cant find any photos on the internet.?

TipseyTorvey · 11/11/2018 18:13

Queen I disagree as am the same colour as M and can rarely find tights that match me. They keep bloody changing the colours. Drives me bonkers so I tend to only wear sheer black now.

Paradyning · 11/11/2018 18:14

It also looked like Theresa May curtsied to PH but only bowed the MM. Not one of her ridiculous prostrate curtsies either.

Hip replacement recover would have been a lot more involved in a 90-odd year old.

I think that depends on the person. My mother had a hip replacement at age 91 and she had a quick recovery.

I think the DoC's fourth poppy (the brooch) is the one that was released this year to honour the service of women in WWI (I have the same one).

Meghan's skirt and top are very Jackie Kennedy. Weren't we saying that that silhouette would suit her?

Give us a sign if you're one of us Megs!

I think we’ve seen that green coat before. She looks lovely. Agree MM needs to find better tights, maybe she hasn’t worn sheer tights before.

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/11/2018 18:17

@TipseyTorvey So am I, but Falke and Wolford do nude tights in several different skin tones. I can recommend Falke's Shelina tights - they just look like you've got great skin! Bit pricier than M&S but price is no object for Meghan!

I love Kate's 1940s look. Even the Anne Boleyn hat. Would look so cute with a tiny veil.

Have we seen that Meghan suit before? The shape looks like the cream thing she wore to commonwealth reception. She needs to lose the belt. They are moving closer to her bosom because of her bump. I wish she would just wear a maternity dress now.
We also need to stage a tights intervention. Can someone post Meghan some Wolford Glossies.

Spudlet · 11/11/2018 18:18

If we see either one of them in a Mumsnet scarf, we will know.

(Although I won't, because although I've seen many references to the fabled MN scarf, I wouldn't know one if I fell over it)

Harebellmeadow · 11/11/2018 18:19

Can someone tell me whether Prince Louis is pronounced “Lewis” or french style “Louey”? I have always thought Louey but i dont have a television so I need it confirmed.

I’m so glad I found this thread! Have just spent a happy hour or so scrolling through.

Gooseysgirl · 11/11/2018 18:27

@Harebellmeadow it's pronounced Looee like the French.

Harebellmeadow · 11/11/2018 18:29

Thanks goosegirl
