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

[QueenOfTheAndals]

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

What I'm not keen on with Eugenie's outfit is that black leather headband. It's dreadful. I like the dress itself, though agree not the most flattering for her.

Thanks AFifthOfKoolAid.

Absolutely adore Eugenie's evening wedding dress. Didn't realise at the time what a beautiful colour it was. Beautiful back too.

The queen's helicopter is amazing from those Chatsworth pictures! Very, well - posh!

Don't like Eugenie's cream tweed dress, makes her look really wide round the bottom. Not flattering.

Eugenie's dress ... that skirt is so sticky-out it would suit exactly no-one?! Is this a fashion trend in the uK? I noticed Kate's was crazy sticky-out (ie short and wide) the other day

The fabric of Eugenie's dress just looks so stiff and thick ,it looks as though it's been shortened .

OTH the back of her evening dress is one of the most beautiful things I've seen on these threads .

Not a fan of Eugenie's dress from yesterday either. It makes her look boxy. She is really pretty and has a fantastic figure but the dress does nothing for her.

Leti in Hugo Boss yesterday

Marie looks scarily like an exact cross between Mary and Kate! Never heard of her before

Eugenie’s evening gown looks absolutely beautiful! And love that she wore chunky heals with it. I really like her look at the hospital event - she’s youthful and sweet, and the outfit suits her age - I like the bag and even the headband (!). She looks very cute, in the best way. Plus she’s less just boringly glossy than the other royals - KM and MM (and Mary and now Marie!) all look much and muchness and all very shiny, they all have the same meet and greet faces (except when Kate does a big dorky grin, which is endearing). Eugenie is more interesting, and her and Beatrice at least seem to have their own style. That all sounds very ageist, but Max has her own style and Margeurethe (sp) too.

Kate will definitely be in boots, jeans and Barbour! I’m almost excited for it, I like the uniform approach :)

Also don’t mind that the cut of Eugenies dress isn’t perfect, as it’s only £300! That’s the cheapest dress we’ve had on here in a while!

I agree pinkladyapples.
It wasn't the dress for Eugenie.

@Notmyrealname855 I would love to know what CPM thinks of her BiL marrying a woman who's her double, with practically the same name as her too! Have to admit I found Joachim's first wife Alexandra more interesting and wonder what went wrong there? She always struck me as being very intelligent and he comes across as a bit of a dim bulb.

When a £300 dress feels like a frugal choice, you know you've been on these threads too much

notmyrealname - you make some good points ! I watched some video clips of the visit and Eugenie did seem very human and normal .

Made me wonder about the amount of effort Kate,Meghan etc have to employ to keep a v small range of expressions on their faces !

Poor old Jack, hanging around at that opening... in behind the hospital lady . (Sorry, am not quite up to links yet, but was rather struck by this pic , posted by Fergie, of Eugenie and Prince Andrew and whatshisname...)

Charlene in a really awful suit!

@Elllllle
Does anyone actually wear the Camilla kaftans though? (Apart from Marilyn on Home and Away, some of her outfits look like they could be from there ).
They’re so, so ugly! I’ve never seen anyone actually in one although there is a shop very near me.

@AhoyDelBoy it's funny I have a select group of (social media) acquaintances who really loved them (not so much the blingy ones but heinous all the same) a year or more ago ... BUT I havent seen anyone post from Pt Doug in one for a good while. Their reign of ugly may have passed.

Also tbf, they fit a certain lifestyle (not mine). If you're uber tanned, a bit boheme,
rich, live in a hot or humid climate, I can see how they might be more attractive

Eugenie is the spit of Andrew there! Same eyes, same smile, same laugh! She looks very engaging.

Charlene looks meh, but her hair and make up is beautiful as always. She has such a lovely face.

Leti looks amazing in that red Hugo Boss outfit. She nails modern chic imo.

I love this plaque I saw in a church in New York... poor Philip!

Brilliant @youngestisapsycho!

That was her visit for the US bicentennial, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

I wound up down a Wikipedia wormhole this afternoon and discovered that disgraced former Tory MP Jonathan Aitken is allegedly an illegitimate uncle of King Wax!
