Royal style & gossip: from maximum Maxima to minimalist Meghan

Royal style & gossip: what do we want? Frock shots! When do we want them? Now!

In my previous post, there was an original sketch of this dress, and in her actual handwriting she had written "Please!"

I think your post was quite uncalled for IPromiseIWontBeNaughty. I’m not condoning what was said about Kate, but there’s no need to threaten suicide, albeit sarcastically.

Some iconic outerwear,including her honeymoon tweed from Balmoral. Also more sparklers from the Estate of the Duke of Fife

I apologise Haworthia but it really irritates me when just because you don’t have what’s perceived to be a valuable role in society that you are a waste of space.

And actually if you go back to some of my earlier threads I’ve said I’m having a very difficult time at the moment. So no there’s nothing sarcastic about it. But I won’t because of my family but my God have I been tempted. Imagine if I didn’t have such support comments could push me over the edge.

Thank you Curly

Back to my lighter mood.

I know Diana was a style icon and an undoubtedly beautiful woman, but I just can't warm to those clothes. They're so fussy, with all those flounces and patterns and extra bits. I prefer cleaner lines, personally.

All those sparkly things though... 🤩

Now Kate is carrying more handbags, what extra things do you think she puts in them?
I reckon 3 photos of the children, a piece of Lego (surreptitiously put there by George), a little drawing from Charlotte, a stray muslin of Louis' (that Charlotte put in, in case Mummy needed a bib or to blow her nose) handcream, handgel, nail file, 3 lipsticks & a bag of Haribo

@queen - I have definitely commented that kate has been looking particularly regal recently, but I think a few of us have. My theory was that she's no longer the new girl so, which probably changes how she's perceived internally and how she can do things.

In that picture of her laying the floral tribute, it looks like she's had some nice natural highlights added again. She seems to swing from very dark to a few highlights. I do like the highlights though - I think they look natural (even though clearly they're not).

Although I like this coat dress, from the side, it gives her a slightly odd silhouette, especially around the bust. Or is that just me?

CurlyWurlyTwirly do they still have the velvet evening dress there with ‘unexplained’ flattened parts on the leg area, which they think were caused by the two young princes hugging their mother’s legs before she headed out?

That was my favourite thing in the exhibition.

Though the Elvis dress is also stunning, and like you I loved the designs, esp with Diana’s notes on.

Has anyone been to Windsor Castle to see Meghan's dress yet? At least I think it's at Windsor, might be Buckingham Palace if not.

What's Kate got in her handbag
A travel size pack of wet wipes
Four nappy safety pins
A bag of Fisherman's Friends
The end of a packet of jelly babies
Lippy in a naice case
Handbag spray of Miss Dior

@CurlyWurlyTwirly thank you!!!
Is that the Fife tiara??? One of my favs

Can't believe we've had another deleted post! 2 in 2 days! And none since summer when they started. What's happened to our fluffy mcfluff thread!

Sorry & I detailed also

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again these are my favourite threads.

@Paradyning I don't know about you, but I'm wondering what exactly was in those posts!

Oh don't worry about the deleted post, just an add for making extra money

Ad not add

A/ha! That's good. We want to keep it fluffy.

Oh yes, I heard there's been a spate of spam ads on MN lately.

I think she has a tracking device in case of kidnap, her phone and headphones and 20 b&h and a lighter with a naked lady on it.

Love her bag.

@QueenoftheAndals I got a quick peek at it when I accompanied a load of Year 2s to Windsor last month. Was too worried about losing one to be able to look at it properly!

Yes, I love aspinal bags, she looks really great.

How wonderful to have a coat to be able to pick for every occasion! The ease of it! I'm still struggling to find one dress for my work Christmas party!

Oh dear, more 'revelations' in DM today re Kate and Megan.
