Royal style & gossip: while Meghan's away, will Kate play?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Link to previous thread. And not a moment too soon!

What is the Single White Female thing Queen? I’m always behind on these things.

I was referring to the 90s film about a woman whose new flatmate starts to get obsessed by her, going as far as to dye her hair and make her look like her!

Eugenie looks lovely.

Eugenie is so pretty and I like the top half of her dress .

But I think the flare and length of the skirt doesn't do her any favours/photograph well . Too short .

As if I'm qualified to comment ,pay no attention to me Eug

Thanks Queen I was miles off! I thought it was a bit like when people are described as ‘basic’ or something.

Eugenie looking lovely. That dress is gorgeous and youthful (I think the length and flare lend a lot of charm, the opposite of matronly) but her smile is even better.

Sorry the Eugenie dress is a no from me, with the exception of the v neck. Colour poor, shape poor, front buttons poor and my pet hate; short skirt and bracelet sleeves.

She looks very happy though.

She's an attractive girl but that dress is not great.

The Queen at Chatsworth House yesterday for a private viewing of their new dog-themed exhibition.

She is attractive but that dress is completely wrong for her!

I went to see the Royal Wedding exhibition today! They had both of Eugenie's dresses, from the pictures I thought the evening gown was satin-y but it was actually delicate chiffon in a pretty blush colour. Here evening shoes were divine gold Jimmy Choos! And her day shoes were a chunky block heel, a surprise. The main dress was so beautiful in the flesh, so primcess-y but elegant, definitely my favourite of this decade's three big UK royal weddings!

Any chance you took a picture of the evening dress? I need to bleach the unfortunate "leaking boobs" effect from my mind.

No, they didn't allow photographs sadly. Here's one from the internet though! It looks like the colour/fabric is prone to intense shadows in the boob area.

And here is the back when it was nearing completion. Totally dreamy!

Just catching up from yesterday. Thought Camillas kaftan thing was hideous - looks like a shed snake skin. And presumably £££.

Also not keen on Eugenie's. She's very pretty but the style and colour of the dress did nothing for her.

Usually i think they get it right even if they spend too much but not this time.

It's a no from me for Eugenie. She looks lovely but the cut of the dress is all wrong for her figure type. It makes her look matronly. Perhaps it's just the picture though, and in real life it was more flattering.

That evening dress is sublime though.

Not sure it changes anything but there are better pictures of eugeine here

Quite liked Eugenies wedding dress, hate the evening dress which makes a young woman look matronly....still think MMs wedding dress and her evening dress were absolutely spot on, simple but stunning.

Its a nice dress but the wrong shape for her (and anybody with hips tbh).

Some Kate news - she's going to visit U.K. Scouting next Thursday. I'm guessing jeans, boots and a Barbour?

Princess Anne and Tim Lawrence went to New Zealand house yesterday and signed the book of condolence. Anne's writting may not be as pretty as Meghans but a lovely message I thought.

Tim is in NZ.

That makes more sense I wondered why they were in different messages once again I have fallen victim to not reading the whole post

Lovely message from Anne there.

Eugenie's dress is pretty in theory, but just doesn't suit her. It's making her look boxy, though it shows what terrific legs she's got.

It seems unfortunate that Jack accompanied her on the visit, but doesn't get named on the plaque.
