Royal style & gossip: from maximum Maxima to minimalist Meghan

Previous thread:

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

There's definitely a sneaky pack of Sobranies in Kate's handbag...

I read that Meghan snubbed Eugenie’s wedding reception. She must have upset someone to have this aimed at her daily.

Snubbed the reception probably =

Vomiting into the nearest lav

The tabloids are getting more ridiculous by the day! Now Meghan has apparently said she wants to breastfeed in public and no son of hers will wear shorts!

Twaddle. Can we have links for The Sun labelled as such please? I'd rather not click because of Hillsborough.

Fair point @PawneeParksDept but I think it's safe to say that any link about their so-called feud will be to the Mail or the Sun.

Yes please can we keep this thread kind and fluffy? Work is crap. The news is depressing. The weather has gone all damp and dark so I really really need these threads to bring me joy. I think Diana was very attractive and very tall and thin and willowy which meant she could carry off those 80s flouncy things in an impressive way. Much as I liked Fergie's fun element at the time her curvy figure never quite worked with the dresses. She looks better now I think.

I loved seeing Fergie at Eugenie’s wedding- she’s always so smiley.

I'm sorry that I can't do clicky links but I enjoyed this article by Hadley Freeman on the press demonisation of Meghan:

One of the reasons I like Meghan - she gives some credibility to my messy bun!

They've got the xmas decorations up. Some Will & Kate cushions and rather bizarrely some Diana graphic wallpaper on the way to the loo!

those cushions!! And the wallpaper!!

mother i liked the fairly good natured poke at the PR initiative around P.Charles at the mo:

''I particularly enjoyed the forelock-tugging photos that were released to prove how down to earth he is, which showed that he smiles when a servant gives him his tea in one of the 10m houses that he owns for no reason anyone can explain''

Those cushions! Well if you've always wanted to sit on William's face...

Love Hadley Freeman, she always nails it. And never more so than here:

Newspapers can’t just run articles saying, “Well, Charles seems fine, William seems happy, Harry seems happy. That’s all, folks!” You don’t sell any papers that way.

Hadley excellent, as always. This comment made me laugh - all we need is an unrequited love angle and the story will be complete!

Who is the cushion on the left supposed to be?

That comment Queen
Wtf......is the writer on glue?

My favourite part of this kind of Charles puffery is when someone claims that the man who has famously never worked, really does work terribly, terribly hard. This time that responsibility fell to Prince Harry, who described his father as “a workaholic”, to which you really can only respond, “Wow, imagine spending your life in such serious withdrawal! Poor chap!”

I love Hadley at least as much as Max. Possibly more. 😂

Glad you all share my love for Hadley.

Cushion on left was a young princess Margaret

More frocks; actually quite simple but really sparkly.

I think I need a trip to KP

I love that green dress! Trying to remember her in it. It's Meghan green, or I suppose we should say Diana green!

@TracyBeakerSoYeah I think he's trying to show how ridiculous some of the articles are
