Royal style & gossip: Megs goes mad in Morocco, Kate keeps cool in Kensington

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

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

I thought the QM had a massive overdraft & then it was netted off against her assets on death so she saved death duties.

LK Bennett is going to go into administration. Is this because Kate has stopped shopping there? Bennett on brink of collapse [[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47413269]]

Try this Bennett on brink of collapse [[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47413269]]

Bloody BBC link. Well, you get the gist.

@Rhubarbisevil You need to do 2 [ then the link then the words then 2 ]

If that makes sense!

I love Mathilde's jumpsuit! Gorgeous colour and style on her.
My 86 year old MiL sometimes gets a bruise on her hand. Usually she will remember bumping her hand but not always. She's a retired nurse and says that it's usually just part of ageing rather than anything sinister.

I do think Rania's dress would suit Kate. Looking again at her whole outfit though I really dislike those lilac shoes.

Maybe HM bruises more than we realise.
She’s usually wearing gloves.
She also has the same hands as Charles; I noticed elsewhere. Sausage fingers!

The Queen’s bruise could be equine related. They can be buggers.

A new book about Queen's clothes, by Sali Hughes: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bud-lSQg5nn/

Oh I really like Sali's writing!

I haven’t read any of her work, but I love the cover. I’d buy it for that alone.

Meghan is joining an I teresting discussion panel for International women’sday March 8th.

After some of her speeches; I will be interested to see what she has to say.

Granted I've not read her books but her columns are great. She wrote a really good article about toxic parents too, and why Meghan was doing the right thing by going NC with her dad.

Good for Meghan, that sounds like a great panel. She's an excellent public speaker so she should do well. I like Julia Gillard, when she was PM of Oz she gave a fantastic speech on sexism.

Ooh I've ordered Sali's book, I love her writing. Thanks for the link.

That's an awesome book cover.

Used to work in publishing and the cover meeting was one of my favourites. Turns out you probably should judge a book by its cover

There’s a programme on channel 5 at 9pm on MM.

I used to work in publishing too itsniceitsdifferent - who did you work for? I was at Egmont.

I was at Faber!

Oh, all grown up stuff. I did Noddy and Thomas the Tank Engine!!! Miss those days

I won’t be watching the MM c5 documentary. Hopefully the press will get bored and move onto someone else.

Really love this jacket on Mathilde

Not a fan of that jacket, Mathilde looks like a pearly queen! I find her style a bit uninspiring and matronly tbh, although she does occasionally take a fashion risk with something like a jumpsuit and credit to her for that.

Concerned by HMQ hands. Most likely a knock, but sad to see.

Mathilde looks gorgeous in that picture.
Nice to see them holding hands.
There should be a Mumsnet heart emoji and a thumbs up emoji.
