Royal style & gossip: Sandringham shots are coming, who will Prince Philip deck in the halls?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Made sure my autocorrect didn't spoil that title...

As always, let's keep it light and avoid any spite!

Previous thread

The arrivals have started. Anne has some very practical Adidas sunnies on!

They’re on their way. Love Sophie in Glasses.
Phillip has made it.
Anne doesn’t give a monkey’s with her shades!

Oi Meg!

Isabella Oliver has loads of maternity dresses. Some aren't particularly your style, but there are some great basics that will look smart and appropriate, particularly under your lovely coats and with your amazing jewelry

You're welcome

Peter Phillips looks good with a beard. I think that’s Isla behind him.
And Andrew on his own.

Maybe Anne went a bit wild on the eggnog last night

Sorry it's the Mail, but there are some good pics of the arrivals here:

Sad to see that Philip looks pretty terrible; for the Queen's sake I wish he could go on for ever, but it's hard not to wonder how many more Christmases he'll see

I see you all beat me to it ... !!

Queen I wore dresses with heels. The tops from jojo were awful but the dresses were ok and looked really good with a couple of accessories. It's a British brand that just opened up a couple of shops in the US so it would be great if DofS supported them in this way.

So no Edward or James? Wonder if they are coming separately.

King of Thailand is an interesting character

Autumn Phillips looks good.
I like that Lady Louise appears to be wearing a denim jacket!

Those shades of Anne's are fantastic. Probably 20 years old and totally practical.

You can just picture her yachting around the Hebrides in them or mucking our.

*out

Prince Philip does look really unwell :-(

I don't think he looks unwell; he just is really old. We are so used to HM looking plump cheeked and clear eyed at 92, that to see someone just 5 years older; they age fast. Even the Queen Mum looked faded by her late 90s

He actually looks pretty good for 97, imo. He's always had dark circles but if you take those away he looks in good nick. He's not too thin, which is always a good sign.

Sophie looks downright foxy in her specs and wavy hair. 😍

I’ve got the same kiddy car seat as Peter Phillips. That’s must make me practically royal.

I think Sophie looks great in those arrival photos. I think she might be one of those people who look better in casual wear - glasses, hair down, lovely wool scarf - than in very buttoned up formal clothes with her hair up.

I think Philip looks quite good for 97!!

I think there's sth Gillian Anderson about Sophie.

I think Philip looks fine. It's just that we are not used to seeing people who are nearly 100.

Meghan looks beautiful in those photos, I wonder what the rest of her outfit is like? Philip does look really, really old but he is 97!

Meghan looks stunning.

Anyone else looking at Harry & thinking he’s an image of Henry VIII?!! Or probably just me!

Megan's makeup is lovely, as is Zara Tindall's and Autumn Philips' hair.

Prince Philip just looks old - I mean, he IS old. People can get frail quickly sometimes. He can't be that frail if he's still going out carriage driving though.

I like Kate's blusher. It makes her look really healthy.
I wonder what brand & colour it is?
Anyone know?
