Royal style & gossip: who's got the best gownage and crownage?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Here we go again, and as always say what you like about the clothes but keep it civil re the wearers of said clothes!

previous thread

I think Pippa lives in Belgravia. The original back entrances to those. Houses would be mews houses, which are now ££££s and homes in their own right, so there wouldn’t have been any other entrance for Kate to use.

In terms of tipping off; perhaps a caterer or florist?

I noticed one of Meghan’s banana messages was “you are loved”. I so hope that didn’t go to a young drug addict not long out of a Council Home, for whom love would be a very rare commodity indeed.

But are the packed lunches in themselves not an act of love?

Yes, maybe so “Haworthia”, I hope it didn’t emphasis to some poor young girl just how alone she was.

Doesn’t Kate wear a large aquamarine ring that was Diana’s?

No that was given to Meghan on her wedding day

Kate’s jewellery. The blog peters out about 2014.
Don’t know if anyone has any links for more recent jewellery.?

You can google Pippa's husband and the words Chelsea planning and you will find the address and canGoogle map it!

The paps will know key dates such as birthdays and have probably been stalking a couple of addresses for signs of party planning so they can swoop in on the night to get the pics.

Yes I can't imagine it takes a whole lot of skullduggery to find out if a party is taking place.

What Kate Wore seems to be the best one.

There's also a woman on Facebook who keeps an amazing tally of both Kate and Sophies jewellery, I don't remember her name but she's frequently quoted on that above blog as she's often the one who remembers items, so it's like "my thanks to x on Facebook who tipped me off"

I think she's called Anna at My Small Obsessions or something?? That's just from vague memory. But I remember looking at her Facebook page long ago (don't even have a FB myself anymore tbh) and her image galleries were FAB and well worth a follow.

(She's the one who discovered Sophie got her stuff at Heavenly Necklaces if I remember.)

Princess Anne very sensibly dressed in warm jacket, trousers and comfy looking footwear for greeting the rugby teams on BBC1 just now.

But are the packed lunches in themselves not an act of love?

Yes, and one of the organization's stated values is "unconditional love."

No spiked high heels and bare legs for Anne!

I feel a bit sorry for Meghan atm as everything she says or does gets twisted. The banana thing seems to have been totally spontaneous and if it made one of the women who received those packages smile then that can only be a good thing. One of the charity's former service users was interviewed and had nothing but good things to say about the gesture and really, she would know wouldn't she?

Meghan makes faux pas with the costs of her clothes but in footage of her visits she seems engaged and interested. I don't think the Hub Kitchen women would've greeted her so warmly if they didn't think she had a genuine interest in the work they do.

And Kate was recently criticised too for saying motherhood was hard. Apparently if you're rich and have staff then you can't possible struggle, which is ironic really when you consider the problems of her late MiL.

The duchesses just can't win!

Meanwhile USA Today might want to hire a new pictures editor...

????link please @queen

@CurlyWurlyTwirly No link but a photo should've showed up with my PP. I'll try again...

Agree about Meghan, @Queen, she can't do right for doing wrong.

I think most of the time she looks amazing, but she's still finding her royal style. Sometimes she's bang on, at other times her red carpet sleb instinct breaks through. I think the excessive expenditure is part of that.

She's very badly advised imho. She could do with a no nonsense Aussie who would share her enthusiasm and work ethic but give it to her straight when she veers into Hollywoodism. And that would extend not just to her clothes but her conduct towards staff. I feel she's playing the part of a senior royal without necessarily knowing what one is.

She could quarter the amount she spends on clothes for a start... that a pretty obvious step. Tbh I wasn’t taken by the 50k engagement dress, people picked up on the lavishness then and I thought she’d go straight to the high st! And she did with something from M&S and she’s done something from Zara was it? H&M? But the spending is far too much

Pot Kate Beckinsale, I hope she’s OK.

but queen if only she would just stop for a moment and just think properly before taking any actions no one would say anything bad about her.
MM appears as someone who is so eager to please and to prove herself she doesn't evaluate things properly. It probably dawned on her later that writing messages on bananas for sex workers was not a smart thing to do.

There are other occasions more suitable for wearing Oscar de la Renta. a charity for sex worker and addicts is not one of them .

Lol. If only she were perfect no one would lay into her for minor things they disagree with.

Kate B actually posted that photo too, laughing at it. She's OK, she's home again now I think.
