Royal style & gossip: from maximum Maxima to minimalist Meghan

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

That photo of Diana Queen. She could have so easily been a model. Beautiful.

Flicking through those pics of Diana: (1) I didn’t realise how slim she was (2) she obviously had a lot of fun with clothes and enjoyed wearing them

Just looked at that photo in more detail apparently Eugenie will be paying 'market rent' when she moves in which the quote similar rent would be £3,500 per week. I should have been an art gallery director I knew it!

I didn't warm to Meghan after her 45k engagement dress. Never warmed to Kate either.

Now that Meghan is getting non stop vitriol on Daily Mail, I think she is fab. It makes me like her. She just seems to rise above it, and keep plodding. I also like her clothes.

When I have seen Meghan in interviews, I think she has lots of charisma, and clearly very intelligent too.

I have been binge watching House of Cards and ever since I saw Kate in the military McQueen on Rememberance Sunday; I have thought she should take some style tips from the fictional Claire Hale Underwood

Sophie wore this when hosting a fashion charity event tonight at BP.

She used to be ultra stylish, but she has totally missed the mark with so many of her outfits this year....

I liked the military McQueen until another poster pointed out that it looked like the Salvation Army uniform!

But is the patterning on her skirt some nod to the event ?

The person she's talking seems to have some of the same

Ooh Letizia has a new tiara!

I think I need to ask for a tiara from dh. Can just imagine his face

You can buy them in the gift shop at KP when you visit!

Oh my goodness, those diamond earrings Letizia is wearing! 😍

Thanks for those Diana photos Queen, I really enjoyed looking back on her outfits.

Thanks for sharing all those photos from KP Curly. I love that long black dress with the sequinned halter neck - so chic.

Sophie was terrific till she got sucked into the Emilia Wickstead Vortex of Frump.

I am obsessed with that ASOS dress. I haven't seen it on there though and I've been scouring it for 2 weeks looking for a party dress..... Its possibly long sold out.

Lol so in the 20 mins since I posted that I have both found it and ordered it.......

Ah well, its free returns......

It's OOS in all but an 8 in the regular but there were several sizes left in the Tall, which I got.

FYI there's a petite version which is a mini length which looked lovely. It's called Midi dress with bird embroidery or similar.

Oh well done Elspeth!

I got my hopes up off your info but I'm nowhere near an 8

I can't find the petite version @ElspethFlashman help?

God Diana in that green dress

Amazing

Its a beautiful dress. Well done Elsoeth.

That's so much for all the photos Curley.

Absolutely love the black dress that Leti is wearing with the debuted tiara. It's the perfect foil for it.

Agree re: Sophie. WTF?

CPMary looking oh so casual

Thanks so much @CurlyWurlyTwirly*

God that Glamour mag link of Diana is amazing.

She wore low heels all the time. Was that an 80's thing or a Diana thing? Totally understand why she did, she must have been up and down all the time shaking hands, etc.

Diana was tall wasn’t she? Or am I just thinking that because of the stories about Charles and heels? Maybe her height was why she wore lower heels?

She wore low heels so she wouldn't be taller than Charlie?

Google tells me she was 5'10.

That is definitely what the press have always said.

Oh god curly, don't get me started on Carrie underwood.

Nearly as fantastic as Diane Lockheart
