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

[QueenOfTheAndals]

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

Interiors of the suite where Meghan had her baby shower

I do like this tunic trousers combo Camilla wears.
Very flattering for ladies of a certain age....!

I forgot the Queen used to ride in the Tropoing of the colour.
This Grenadier Guards uniform has been tailored just for her.

Rare joint appearance with Princes Charles, William and Harry

I would suspect he is trying to heal an actual rift, or deal with rift rumours.

Rare picture of HM and Anne on a joint engagement.

Anne is channeling little Edie from Grey Gardens there. Not that she gives 2 shits

The Queen is in Meghan green there, Curly!

Any idea where I could get hold of Camilla's look? Cheap end though.

Article in the mirror about Kate’s rival. They really are ramping it up. I think it’s a load of rubbish.

@UrsulaPandress

Camilla’s look is based on Indian Kurtis, traditional Indian / Pakistani dress.
The only thing I would say having attempted to try on a pair of the trousers, they are incredibly tight, so you may have to buy a seperate pair of loose fitting trousers.

Interesting that HM has done 2 joint visits. I wonder is she becoming more frail and needs to be accompanied or is she raising the profile of her chosen successors or maybe she just likes the company

Well HM was mainly accompanied by Prince Phillip, and then later by a lady in waiting, so I suspect she just likes the company!

It must feel very strange for HM not to have him at her side when he was there for so long. I suspect once he goes we'll see a sharp decline in her. He's got his faults but she's known him for 80 years, it'll be like missing her right hand.

I'm being very naughty now but she might just let out a big sigh of relief.

Wow, young QE2 looks like Emilia Clarke!

Dobby not the first time I’ve seen this story, I wonder who is leaking it? Very mysterious, but Kate is known to be rather, er, protective of William (probably a good idea with any literally entitled aristo, though)

Very mysterious. Apparently it's a terrible falling out but no one knows why. That sounds legit...

I don’t think William would stray.

I think it sounds like bollocks. No way to prove or disprove it as they haven't been seen together very much. There were some photos at horse trials and at an evening do. That's about it. William and Kate are demonstrably close and he has the awful example,e of his parents to remind him what infidelity does to a family.

I read somewhere it's because William is too close to the friend. Who knows.

Meghan and Harry were due to move this week, but their house is not ready. Apparently they’ve already moved out for Nottingham cottage. So wiponder where they are....?

Also it’s been confirmed Meghan will have the baby at the lindo wing

There was something in the Evening Standard about the Lindo wing from "a source" but I tend to be sceptical of anything that doesn't come straight from BP or KP!

Meghan did however attend a meeting at Smartworks yesterday but the palace only revealed it after the visit.

Interesting that the Mail seems to have stopped with their Meghan vendetta and are now pushing the Kate/Rose Cholmondeley non-story instead.

I guess even they draw the line at slagging off a woman while, for all they know, she's in labour

Interesting take on the 'Kate effect'

Maybe the royals have their reasons for avoiding the high street what do you think?

Not sure I really see the argument with big brands like lk bennet but I can see why they may avoid up and coming designers.
