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

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.

Max is in Jordan. Will there be a photo with Rania? It says it's a "working visit" on behalf of the UN rather than a royal one.

Fergie looks ace!

It’s very thoughtful of Sarah F to publicise the work of a Sierra Leonien (?) designer, much more effort than picking up something in London.

Catching up. I thought the DOC looked absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous dress and accessories, on point hair and make up. As for Botox who c area if she does. She looks great!

Double standards much though? Hateful rag.

*cares

I so wish we knew the name of the DoC’s personal trainer. I would pay thousands to get those arms!!

Why was it a break of protocol? Are they not supposed to wear the person who made their wedding dress again?

@hopeishere She (gasp) had her shoulders out! Disgraceful behaviour, obviously 🙄

It's because they're flashing a shoulder. Scandalous hussies.

I didn't make the connection of the wedding dress designer thing!

Well no, it's only Meghan who "breaks protocol" according to the Fail. But a quick google reveals that last night wasn't the first time Kate went one-shouldered so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks! How ridiculous!

And dark nail polish is allegedly not allowed. Which is a load of rubbish as Kate has worn/does wear coloured polish:

Let's not forget she also had the brass neck to wear dark nail polish. And she sometimes goes without tights. And wears black when not in a period or mourning.

Royal ladies don't do these ghastly hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/princessbeatricedresselegantly-1526664930.jpg.

Last link should have been "things"!

And in a period of mourning, not a period or mourning. I bet she doesn't lock herself away when on her period either! She doesn't accept that she's unclean and should therefore be unseen!

Hope we’ll see Meghan in some reasonably priced maternity wear.

Oh Curly, you are funny!

I really loved Kate's outfit last night. I think she looked amazing. And I really don't set any store by all this media rubbish about one-shouldered dresses 'breaking protocol'. As Queen always points out, HMQ has seen it all before and can't possibly be bothered by things like this.

In rather different fashion news, did anyone see the photos of Princess Anne watching the Six Nations a couple of weeks ago? I love her no-nonsense approach to everything.

That hat!! Looks like it's been superimposed on her!

I adore Kate's white dress. One of her best looks I think

She looks like she belongs in a Lego movie

Princess Anne I mean.

That hat definitely looks photoshopped!!

I felt sad about Kate’s Botox eyebrow. What a fucking shame. She’s gorgeous, I wish she wouldn’t. But, I guess it is hard being photographed all the time.

Kate looked fantastic although I think the dress looked a bit bridal. In another colour it would have looked even better. Just a minor quibble!

With regards the botox, I do think her face looks its best when she's pregnant and she's that little bit heavier. But her preferred personal aesthetic is to be very slim, and you can't have it all. And those arms do look fab!
