Royal style & gossip: tiaras, tantrums and totty

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Sorry, just not my day and I dropped the ball again!

Maybe if every time I left the house the whole world and his wife had a loud opinion I might rebel and start wearing Edwardian nighties too.

Oh Ida

Eholmes is great but has to stop pushing this idea that K and M don’t like each other :( If anything I think W and H are a bit distant with each other, but the women are the ones looking diplomatic!

Yes, it just contributes to the idea that there's a feud. Perhaps they're perfectly cordial but just don't have that much in common. I don't know why the media expect them to become best friends just because they're women. Nobody cared whether the DoE and Lord Snowden ever got along!

The best thing that ever happened to the “original” royal family was K and M - those women act as complete lightning rods for the whole extended family, and that’s a family with Andy in it! 99% of all negative stories is about one of them (and remember K got all of them pre-Meg), or about their “feud”. It’s boring and wrong :(

I said weeks ago I thought the baby would come sooner than everyone assumed.

Is it wrong that I hope the baby is actually due really soon? Excited!

I really want Kate’s make up.

I actually really like the coat on Meghan, I think she looks great.

Kate dress looks Amish in that photo itswinetime

I'm confused by the 'well she knows these pictures of her will last forever' argument for Kate.

She looks awful!

If she's that alert to posterity, maybe get better advice and stop haunting the place looking like a Victorian duchess suffering from the consumption.

I think - and I may be wrong - that midwives prepare expectant mothers for early delivery at 34+weeks so yes, she could go into labour any day. I reckon it will be 30 March to take our eyes away from Brexit.

I don't agree entirely Notmyrealname

The Mail loves nothing more than an opportunity to rip Beatrice and Eugenie

Zara, Peter, Louise And James rarely make the papers at all though

I like Kate’s dress, similar to the pink one also that she wore to Pippas wedding. Very elegant and unshowy. Reflective of its wearer perhaps.

Kate's dress to Pippa's wedding was awful. Her boobs looked weird and droopy and the colour was very sludgy for a mid summer wedding. There's fading into the background so the bride can shine and looking frowsy.

Kate looks dreadful in the side by side photos of the duchesses Meghan wins hands down.

I keep looking at the DoC dress and thinking I can see a bump.

The DM is claiming for the first time it can be reported that the gold orb on the Princes' coronet is actually a ball spray painted. It's not new news. I've known it for ages.

My post didn’t post :(
Love the cape conparisons and the wedgewood blue coats x4

Today is the first day I've seen Meghan wear something that fits her and looks right for the occasion. I did wonder if the coat hid a hastily-added panel in the back though.

I disagree with most of you about Kate's outfit. She's very good at wearing inoffensive non-showy outfits when someone else is meant to be in the limelight.

Harebellsies the first 3 coat pictures are the same coat, not 3 similar coats.

in the above clip at 1.48 you can see an aide coming to talk to Kate ,the way they both laugh makes me suspect that yes she is fun .

anne yes you are right - i thought it was three coats in the four pictures but i its only two, i love all the stylings and smiled at the fleur delacourt cape too. Love the colour, it has been slightly out of fashion for a while i think but is perfect for her.

Feel better now you’ve got that off your chest Becles

You saw what you saw. I saw a very elegant outfit. Horses, courses...

The nicest thing about the video I saw is how warmly Camilla was chatting to K + W. That was cute.

I love that colour too Hare.

I thought Meghan looked fab today. Finally!!!! 😉

Estella - your wafting/consumption comment made me 🤣

I noticed that the Prime Minister curtsied to the Queen and Charles, but not to any of the rest of them.

I think KM’s dress wouldn’t look so bad on a woman with a fuller figure, even if the skirt part is something Camilla would wear (it’d look dreary even as a net curtain).

Like a lot of what KM wears, it’s fine in theory. She just doesn’t dress for the body she has. She sees things on paper and says “that ticks the decent/modest/not shocking boxes, I’ll have two of those please, one in pink and one in mint green”.

That’s why she always looks better in skinny jeans - they suit her body so well, wouldn’t look as good on a fuller figure.

Also, even the keenest of clothes horses must get fed up thinking about clothes and hair after a while. Maybe she just doesn’t care so much any more, just wants to not have to think about it anymore. Only spends time on her evening wear.
