Let's keep criticism to the clothes rather than the women please...

I'm surprised how much I like that Missoni dress as I'm not usually a fan of lurex.

I think Kate looks so much happier in herself since Harry got married and reduced the focus of attention on her. Her happiness shines through and makes her look so much more approachable and relaxed.

The cut of the green dress is fab but yes the colour isn't fab Kate suits stronger colours these iced ones aren't her palette agree silve accessories would have been ideal with this.

I'm happy to see new clothes always but Kate has really been splashing the cash this last few weeks hasn't she especially as I'm sure she will be in something new on the 5th at bp!

As usual accessories destroy the look for me . I'm afraid DoC's work wardrobe is venturing towards Stephanie of Lux territory for me. It just keeps getting worse.

Tortycat · 27/02/2019 21:20

I like the Missoni dress, maybe not her best colour but still lovely.

Why do people think she has no interest in fashion? She used to be a buyer for jigsaw so must have had some interest? Maybe not one for daring outfits given her position, but still interested in style, colour, fabric etc?

EdWinchester · 27/02/2019 21:40

Well it was her only job and it was a part-time job that she had for less than a year and it was accessories, not clothes.

I agree with others - clothes are not her thing.

certainlymerry · 27/02/2019 21:56

Her infectious smile and joyous engagement are so attractive. Also they so clearly adore each other. She probably does feel incredibly relieved to have the focus of attention off their family. Also I don't think she will have any more children now.

LaurenOrdering · 27/02/2019 21:58

Never say never re another child.

hopeishere · 27/02/2019 22:03

I love the dress!!

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 27/02/2019 22:10

Hmm I’m not so sure about William and Kate being pleased to have less focus on them and the attention going to Harry and Meghan, less focus on them means less focus on their causes and their charities, it might be a relief for a while, but as the years go on if Harry and Meghan get all the column inches it would start to grate, particularly with William. Charles has had to play second fiddle all his life to his mother and then Diana, I think William at some point will pull rank as he won’t want the same fate.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 27/02/2019 22:11

I really like Kate’s dress. She needs to stand out as she is in a huge crowd of people. The dress appears more mint, rather than washed out in some photos. Agree she needed silver shoes and bag. They look almost salmon pink.
I love the shot of her and William. They look like they manage to carve a date night out of a working night out. Was similar at the Baftas.

Hold the front page, Letizia has gone fairytale tonight.
Grey would normally be a hard choice; but it looks fantastic on her!

Betty I suppose it depends if William wants the attention - I think he hates being in the public eye really. He does his best with the role but I think he's naturally shy. Harry is more outgoing but I don't think either of them relish it to be honest. Their causes and charities are another thing I suppose, but perhaps they can quietly work away without the pressure to perform.

certainlymerry · 27/02/2019 22:16

The foreign Royals make ours look like muppets. Letizia looks amazing.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 27/02/2019 22:17

It is a gala dinner for the president of Peru.
I love the tiara; looks like it has inspired the embroidery on her dress.

Letizia now that is a gown beautiful!!!

certainlymerry · 27/02/2019 22:27

It is absolutely stunning, and so is she.

TokyoSushi · 27/02/2019 22:28

Love the dress tonight, not sure about the black jeans/blue trainers/cricket jumper this afternoon, none of it went together and the jumper was very 'ladies college'

Beautiful this evening though - love Kate!

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 27/02/2019 22:28

Yes I agree Certainly it does come across that he doesn’t like the attention but it could be a case of careful what you wish for, if William was making an important speech on mental health or whatever and it was Megs and Harry getting all the front pages and think it would be natural to be frustrated with that even if you are not keen on attention, be interesting to see how it pans out over the years.

Rhubarbisevil · 27/02/2019 22:29

That would make a wonderful wedding dress!!

LaurenOrdering · 27/02/2019 23:19

Leti's dress looks more like a dusty lavender colour. It's an absolutely beautiful dress.
W&K behind the bar look totally at ease, especially Kate with that pint she's pulled.
Do you think they'd be more Queen Vic, Rovers or Woolpack? I think Woolpack Grin

Tortycat · 28/02/2019 00:04

Love Letizias dress! It's a beautiful shape and material and embroidery. Love the bare shoulders but still looks very regal.

beanaseireann · 28/02/2019 00:17

I think the green dress is lovely on Kate and the shoes make it more casual. Strappy silver sandals would have meant she was overdressed beside William.
Laetizia's dress is beautiful too.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 28/02/2019 00:37

OMG Leti looks stunning but I hate what she's done with the sash.

QueenOfTheAndals · 28/02/2019 05:54

I liked Kate's jewellery last night, it went beautifully with her dress. If only I had a spare £4K for the earrings and pendant!
