I take it back. She actually looks ok today! Modern even.

For me the most attractive Monaco Royal family is the most attractive. Princess Caroline was stunning in her youth and has aged beautifully despite tragedy in her life. Her daughter Charlotte is very beautiful.

user1457017537 · 12/03/2019 13:53

Sorry delete first attractive

user1457017537 · 12/03/2019 13:53

I don’t like pussy bows. Can’t stand them.

As soon as I saw the picture of Catherine in trousers I thought of you guys Grin.

CP Victoria has her name day today and is out in burgundy - it's the colour du jour!

Loving the DoC in trousers blouse combo a shame it's Gucci again! She looks smart professional and more age appropriate! I hope she is listening a bit more of a modern style would be nice to see any predictions on tonight rewear or new?

myrtleWilson · 12/03/2019 15:22

I do like the DoC look today, it has a retro Jaclyn Smith in Charlie's Angels vibe too

QueenOfTheAndals · 12/03/2019 15:30

Yes! That's who she reminds me of in that outfit @myrtle.

I love Kate's outfit today! It suits her. Not a blouse I'd wear but I really like it on her. Fab colour.

Pinkjellyfish · 12/03/2019 16:06

Kate looks fabulous today, possibly one of my favourite looks. Just love the purple blouse and she looks great in wider trousers.

LaurenOrdering · 12/03/2019 16:15

Kate looking lovely & following Curly's advice or is Curly Kate? (CurlyWurly's being Kate's favourite chocolate bar Grin)

QueenOfTheAndals · 12/03/2019 16:24

Ahem, as I said upthread I wore a silk blouse and wide-legged trousers to work yesterday so clearly Kate is copying me!

Kate looked great and it was lovely to see her interacting with the children ♥️

Perfect work wear today. Although, like @UrsulaPandress I'm not a fan of prissy pussy bows but the rest of the blouse is lovely. Yay for trousers!

She wears very skinny leg or wide leg items - I would like to see her in straight leg or a well cut trouser suit. These trousers looked good in some pictures and too voluminous in others. See the attached photos.

The trousers were too long as well.

LaurenOrdering · 12/03/2019 16:40

Queen I'll get my coat on the way too the Tower Wink

Alwayscheerful · 12/03/2019 16:48

I am not usually a fan of pussy bows I think I like Kate's blouse today because the tails of the bow are very long.

Thedarklady · 12/03/2019 17:01

I like Prince Charles' little coats in these photos.

  • Photo - is Queen Mother, Princess Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, Princess Anne and King George

  • Other photo - Balmoral castle, 1951. A young Prince Charles, baby Princess Anne, the future Queen mother, Princess Margaret, Prince Philip, King George and the future Queen Elizabeth II.

Missed the second photo - Balmoral castle, 1951. A young Prince Charles, baby Princess Anne, the future Queen mother, Princess Margaret, Prince Philip, King George and the future Queen Elizabeth II.

I'm surprised Prince George hasn't made an appearance in that coat of granddad's!

Poor George VI looks very ill in those shots doesn't he? He was only in his 50s when he died (roughly the same age as Andrew and Edward are now) but looks much older there.

Just saw a pic of the back of Kate's blouse....it's got buttons down it. That's sold it even more to me, I love buttons down the back of tops!

Rhubarbisevil · 12/03/2019 17:22

That Aspinal bag is going to sell out. I have a few Aspinal Hobos so I’ve got a voucher code if anyone wants 15% off.

Rhubarbisevil · 12/03/2019 17:23

That particular bag does remind me of a lunch box, though Grin 🥪 🍎 🥤

Horsemad · 12/03/2019 17:27

Balmoral 1951- that would have been about 6mths before King George VI died. Sad

NigellasGuest · 12/03/2019 17:28

Kate looks FABULOUS, can't fault it!
