Link to previous thread.

And once again, let's keep this good-spirited. Spiteful comments are about as welcome as Fergie at Prince Philip's birthday party!

In bed with an upper back problem. This made me LOL. Which hurt:-

Sandringham shits over Christmas.

This just popped up on a local FB page: Prince and Princess of Wales visit Canberra in 1985. Local tradies didn’t get dressed up for Royal visit. Classic!

@Pupsiecola, only if the goose isn't properly cooked...

Diana looks like she's having fun talking to the tradies but again, hard to believe she's only 24 there.

She is an embarrassment.

TheDistantSky · 11/12/2018 10:34

The dress and accessories just look so polished and well put together. Was she wearing Givenchy last night too?

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/12/2018 10:35

She was @TheDistantSky. Made sense given who she was presenting the award to.

And DoC has an engagement today too; is it bad I'm hoping for another blazer and trouser combo? The last one looked so chic, it took years off her.

TheDistantSky · 11/12/2018 10:36

@QueenOfTheAndals what a lovely gesture!

Haworthia · 11/12/2018 11:38

All this speculation about Meghan being a month further on than claimed. Nonsense! Smile I am short waisted (and short legged... just short, basically). My babies were gestated outside of my body. I was huge both times. People asked me if I was having twins constantly. I can only guess there was no room inside so my body sent the bump out, out, out. I had severe diastasis recti though. Core muscles are shot to pieces Hmm

I’m always amazed when I see taller women with longer torsos having such small bumps, because that was the opposite of my experience!

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/12/2018 11:45

Kate's in Meghan green today! Cute dress, and reminiscent of the spotty one she wore for Charles' birthday portraits. The shoes don't quite match but I imagine she thought "sod it, they're green, they'll do"!

Cannot stop sniggering. Rather apt I think

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 11/12/2018 11:47

Looks like the shoes she wore to cypress. And she’s wearing high street!

LittleLlamaontheduskyroad · 11/12/2018 11:49

Kate looks amazing. Darker colours suit her. I love polka dots too.

Spudlet · 11/12/2018 11:51

Thats a nice dress. But it was -3 here this morning - she must be made of steel to not be wearing a coat, as she looks to be standing outside! She must have a vast array of thermal vests for all occasions Grin

[dreams of a future where Royal women are allowed to remove their coats without the world crashing down]

Gooseysgirl · 11/12/2018 11:53

FGS let her enjoy being pregnant!!! She can cradle her bump whenever wherever she wants IMHO.

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/12/2018 11:56

@Spudlet I imagine she's just outside for a short photo op. When you're chauffeured to and from events in a nice heated car then who needs a coat??

Absolutely love that spotty dress. Beautiful.

Bloominglovely · 11/12/2018 12:06

I like Kate’s dress but think it would be nicer if longer.

Letizia wears a lot of polka dots which I think they are nicer

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 11/12/2018 12:07

Love that polka dot dress.
Sweet picture of the little girl presenting flowers to Kate.

QueenOfTheAndals · 11/12/2018 12:18

I thought William was meant to be at that engagement too but no sign of him in those photos.

Spudlet · 11/12/2018 12:35

Me! Me! I do! Lol. I do have a tendency to turn blue in fairly short order, mind you 😬

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 11/12/2018 12:36

William was there too:

God, what a thoroughly boring polka dot dress. I don't love polka dots on anyone over the age of about 9, I find them a bit childlike.

Very blah!

halfwitpicker · 11/12/2018 12:44

Came on to share the Meg link with the black dress but see you're already chatting about it!

I think she looks great. Lovely bump.

halfwitpicker · 11/12/2018 12:45

Yeah, I like the green polka dot dress too. Bit mad men.
