Royal style & gossip: the Middletonian, the Marklesque and the Maximal!

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Link to previous thread

Link to book group thread, which has the list of books.

And in case you get bored of the royals or they're having a quiet week, here's the Celebrity S&G thread!

Remember, let's critique the clothes without getting too personal about the wearers.

If the Morocco trip is the end of February, then perhaps she is due end of March? Given the size of the bump, she looks 8 months to me already....

Was doing a bit of research to see how many overseas trips Kate made in her first year of marriage. It was only 2; the summer after they married ( July 2011) to the US and Canada and October to Denmark.
list of all William’s overseas trips

In terms of travel; Meghan has had a punishing schedule for overseas visits; whilst also being pregnant. Ok, Ireland; not too onerous. But Oz, NZ and the Pacific islands
The cynic in me thinks the overseas visit to Morocco is a last minute thing, for positive PR. It was requested by the British government; not an invitation from the Moroccans

Lots of gownage on the sleb style thread as it's the BAFTAS tonight. No sign of Kate just yet.

Princess Haya was on a radio show on 5/Jan/2019 defending the ex Irish President, Mary Robinson's meeting with the runaway princess.
The show in question is the Marian Finucane Show on RTE1 Radio app. You can google to listen. Apologies as I can't do links.
It's worth a listen.
The Sheik has big investments in the race horse industry in Ireland ( and the U.K. I presume )

Anything Kate wears tonight would be better than the horrors on the BAFTA red carpet.
I’d love her to wear something new. But I’m sure it will be a rewear.
I’m going to go for White Roland Mouret; updo and chandelier earrings

Kate’s just arrived in something NEW!

Their arrival. Could it be the white version of the dress she wore to Charles' birthday?

Full length dress shot. It’s a bit on the sexy side. No word on the designer yet but I’m guessing not M&S!

Merciful heavens! One shoulder!

Well she has well and truly nailed it I think - looks totally fabulous (and I'm usually quite critical of her!!)

I’m wonder if the Mail will report on the cost of Kate’s dress tomorrow? After all, they’re so interested in how much royals spend on their clothes these days...

*meant to say... critical of her outfits not her

Wow! Kate looks amazing!

Love the dress and she has seriously good arms!

Anyone guess who the designer might be? Jenny Packham?

2 new dresses in a week oh it's like Christmas!! I like it she has been doing a lot of one shoulder lately the blue dress from the state dinner and what ever she wore to Charles 70th were both one shoulder weren't they??

Merciful heavens! One shoulder!

It’s ok, it’s after sunset.

I think she looks fab!

The Queen looks utterly miserable in those pics Curly. Philip is probably furious, and she has the whole Markle debacle to deal with now.

I gasped when I saw this view of her dress.
She looks like a proper princess.
I’d say that’s a Jenny Packham. She always does the best evening wear for Kate. She looks stupendous !

Oh wow she looks great! Love that she’s gone for a slightly different style of earrings

I wish William would do up his button.
Honestly, he should take style tips from his dad; not middle management.

Stunning. Looks quite the cut above some of the talent attending.

Gorgeous!! Simple and elegant.

She looks like a totally serene goddess. This is the kind of dress I'd imagine my most model-esque, classiest, poshest friend wearing to get married in.

Yes Queen, I also look forward to the articles scolding her for showing too much flesh.

And comments about "well how much was this? She should wear something cheaper". And "isn't she cold? It's February and she hasn't got a coat on." I'm sure they'll be out with the same vim.

Good spot Queen, it does look very similar?
