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

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.

The Paxman royal programme did get a good write up somewhere, maybe in the Times so could be worth watching.

That's Marie. I must be the only person on this thread who doesn't think they look all that much alike.

Love that Prince Philip story.

I'd find it really weird if my brother in law's second wife looksd so uncannily like me
Mind you it is kinda flattering.

@frugal kitty
I know! Just thought they looked particularly similar from that angle!

I suppose it’s better than your DB marrying someone who looks like you.

Jesus that green Kermit dress is horrendous - boots awful too.

The only time my BIL would marry someone who looks like me is if it was a voodoo doll to sticks pins in! We do not like each other. At all. Ever.

Kate's Dress reminds me of Fendi angry eyes design , but the colour is actually nice .

I owned boots like these in the early noughties. They were exceptionally comfortable but there is no way I'm rewearing these types of boots again.

style wise , Kate is stuck in the early 2000s. Specially her off duty style . Can't say if it's a picture from 2007 or 2019 . Would like to see her once in mum jeans or cashmere trackies and trainers running errands.

Cashmere trackers!?

Trackies. F'in autocorrect.

Jesus the DM have managed to make a headline out of Kate wearing boots. In winter. Who'd have thought a woman may wear boots in Winter.

Oh no, once you see the angry frog face you can’t unsee it!

Not fond of the angry frog face dress! There are loads of A-line dresses she could have chosen from!

I love today's boots, but I bought a similar pair recently, minus all the eyelets fuss. They're ridiculously comfy. The dress looked good for classroom duty - didn't crease much during all that movement between tiny people chairs and meet and greets.

Great cause today, too.

HRH Duchess Kate has a great write up of today. Kate looked really engaged and always seems happiest on her events when they involve meeting children.

In the videos she's very engaged with the children. Very natural with them.
It looks like a really great charity. Glad she's supporting them.

That looks like a great initiative.

I really like Kate's boots. They look funky and comfy but the dress just makes me think of the type of 'bright' that the queen wears so she can be seen. Kate suits a forest (or now Megan) green a bit better. I don't hate it but think it's not quite right for her.

Kate looks lovely. It's nice to see her in more modern footwear - chunky boots rather than spindly high heels.
I like the bright green!

Actually that dress is a bit weird... Has it got eyes??

Kate’s hugely committed to mental health, in the article linked by @queen, it says it is a lifelong commitment.
That is one of the benefits of a royal family; they can make commitments to decades long projects; such as Prince Charles with the environment.
Bravo to her.

Don’t forget Paxo ch5 9pm tonight

I'm watching. I don't usually watch channel 5!

It really is staggering that HM spent SIX MONTHS away from Charles and Anne
