Royal style & gossip: look out, duchesses about!

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Completely missed the ball with the previous thread so hope this thread is easy enough to find!

Camilla in Aberdeen. Har tartan trimmed raincoat matches her kilt.

Letizia today in Madrid

I’m wondering if Mathilde has been dabbling in fillers too....? She is looking very chipmunk cheeked....

@hopeishere Not to get into a pointless row over something so trivial, but Harry's suit looks more like what Debrett's refers to as a "Hollywood Tux" as it has a sheen to it and is worn with a black silk tie. Quite sweet that he has chosen a navy suit to complement his Duchess, IMO!

The poor DoS can't seem to do right in some eyes. Undoubtedly she makes mistakes - we all do. But I can't get upset at her wearing that gown to a gala performance. Blimey, if I was a duchess I would be wearing it with a tiara to do the shopping

I though MM looked spot on in that sequinned gown - as someone else said, she's a royal - it's their job to look good and stand out.

I also much prefer her hair when it's sleek and not a hair out of place. There's a time and a place for the messy bun, but a full-on evening gala performance is not it.

Meghan looks fab IMO! Perfect dress for the event.

I've always thought Mathilde has had some work done. She has that look about her. But then Queen shared older photos and now I'm not so sure.
That does look suss though.

Mathilde has looked the age she currently is since she was about 25. I suspect she'll still look like this at 60!

Loved MM's look for last night - thought she looked fabulous!

Why does Harry look downright miserable all the time these days?

I don't think you can judge that on the basis of just a few photos, but maybe the tabloids vendetta against Meghan is pissing him off. Can't say I blame him!

@certainlymerry probably for the same reason Victoria Beckham is always called miserable; it must be horrible having cameras in your face on a daily basis.

He's well used to that though Creaky! He's always been quite gregarious, fun loving and cheeky. These days he looks weighed down and miserable.

Poor Harry probably sees parallels between his mother & wife’s press harassment.

Just seen prince Philip has been in a car accident but he’s ok.

Goodness - reports of Prince Philip in a car accident.

Fingers crossed he’ll be alright.

Phew - not injured apparently and only a minor collision.

Poor HMQ, bet she was frantic.

If this is a minor collision I'd hate to see what they call a major one.

Hope everyone's ok.

He rolled it apparently. Wonder if they'll try to take his licence away. Charlton Heston springs to mind. Outta my cold dead hand.

Does he look that miserable?

In any case, he's a big boy and used to it but he's perhaps dreading his child having to face the whole thing from birth. You sure get a lot of privilege as a royal, but it still must be scary thinking of putting a vulnerable child in that situation. A royal child is still a child.

Didn't Princess Charlotte tell the paparazzi "you're not coming" or something at an engagement? She's already wary of them and she's 3!

Was he driving??

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty
Meghan has always actively craved the spotlight

hope it's being reported that he was driving.

We don’t know the details of the crash, it’s might not have been his fault. Don’t assume it was his fault because of his age.

HMQ must have been shaken, PP must have suffered a few bruises at least if he rolled the car.

Who's assumed anything due to his age?
Witnesses said he was shaken but ok and was driven away.
