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!

Previous thread

If HM is not wearing her seat belt she must have had the beepy noise thing disabled.

Queen I thought that too.

Kate, William and Harry have not aged well at all. HMQ is much more frail looking now too and more bent over.

That looked like a Hermes Birkin to me. No way was it a Mulberry. Not unless they've brought out a Birkin copy since!

Is it really true there's a video of them at the Cirque du Soleil thing where they're booed???

I think Kate has aged well but I agree William and Harry haven't.
The difference in William He was soooo handsome.
Harry was cute but not any more. Then again I'm no fan of scratchy beards a la Corbyn.

Mulberry have a bag that shape so could be mulberry though more likely to be a birkin. Friend has an orange one. It’s a thing of beauty.

Doesn't the new communication director resembles one of Cheryl Cole Exs?

It took me some time to workout who penny Mountbatten is. A very interesting fact is that Prince Charles was romantically linked to Amanda Knatchbull and even proposed to her and she refused, smart girl!.

It's been id'ed as Mulberry Zipped Bayswater tote.
One blog is also saying H&M jeans too

It's definitely a Mulberry Bayswater bag but the new zippered version designed by Jonny Coca

No it's not a Birkin at all. definitely a mulberry ,

Do H&M do ripped maternity jeans or do we think that she has them customised? Her feet obviously haven't swelled (lucky her).
I agree with pp - William, Kate and Harry haven't aged particularly well. I'm no fan of scratchy beards either. Harry is looking more like Charles, those narrow Battenberg features.

I think Harry has always looked like Charles, it’s just becoming more evident. Hopefully putting to rest the Hewitt rumours.

They have ripped boyfriend jeans

Ripped boyfriend jeans would still need a stretchy panel put in.

I wore those H+M ripped boyfriend maternity jeans last pregnancy.

Literally the most comfortable things I wore the whole 9 months, omg. I was genuinely saddened to not be able to wear them after I gave birth.

I’m surprised at those saying Kate hasn’t aged well.. what is she supposed to look like? She’s 37 and looks far more beautiful than she did 10 years ago imo.

William, Kate and Harry haven't aged particularly well

There’s an upside, perhaps, of not being able to afford luxury holidays in the tropics

William, Kate and Harry haven't aged particularly well

More likely the Marlboro’s they’ve been puffing since teenagers.

Queen Letizia looking fab

I like the skirt on her but the print would creep me out.
She is aging very gracefully. A few silver hairs, a couple of laughter lines. That’s the way to do it.
And Felipe is definitely the silver fox.

what is she supposed to look like?

She just looks like someone into dieting, tanning, and possibly smoking. This is not a moral issue, if you enjoy these things!

Genetics could also be at play, as Pippa looks older than her years as well (though she also seems to share her sister’s fondness for tanning and exercise)

The Windsors .... also do not have the best genes, sorry to say.

PineapplePower I absolutely agree with all your points.
I think it's that with some people the bloom of youth goes early. That's where being a wee bit plump helps!
I agree about King Felipe - he's looking good now he's older.

another #10years from hello

I would say Sophie & Camilla have barely changed. They were mature women 10 years ago, they still look the same now, attractive.

Prince Phillip was still vaguely handsome in his 80s. Now he looks a bit scary around the eyes....

Poor Prince Philip.

Penny Mountbatten is such a graceful, elegant, stylish looking woman.
Has had tough times in her life.
