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

[QueenOfTheAndals]

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

I think Camilla might be a little older than Charles so maybe about 71/72?

That number certainly correlates to the older women in my family. Mum, MIL and aunt, all stopped regular travel by then. MIL still visits us every few years but the trip is more complex and she is less comfortable with it every single time and aunt, who used to go on trips with friends etc, hasn't left the country in about 10 years and she's 84 now....

Yes Charlène has broad swimmers shoulders. It must be hard to disguise them.

Camilla's mother had osteoporosis - hence Camilla's patronage of that charity. Perhaps she has a touch of it and can stiffen up- hence not liking long haul travel.
I do think there is something re 'The Turnip Toffs'
Yes the tabloids do sensationalise stuff but they are often right.
PurplePiePete alluded to something re the non Royal male in that group, on this thread yesterday.

Even Diana worked at a nursery pre-marriage.

Even Diana?

I cant keep up with all these rumours, is the implication that one is having an affair with a journo and another two are having affairs with each other? I really think all of this is tosh, there’s no way Wills would risk domestic happiness and really think papers are just trying to stir because they have so little to report on the royals while MM is away. It’s sadder that anyone believes this, on the basis of “The Sun has vaguely hinted something”. How painful to have your marriage undermined like this, it’s just dirty :(

It looks lovely travelling to nice places, but imagine trying not the sweat and keep up with the time differences! I’d be so tired!

Even Diana?

Back in the late 70s a career/job for a young aristo (especially female) might not have been so important.

Max has been out today, feel like we haven't seen her for ages. Love how expressive she is

Noooooooo Max! Not more over-long trousers!

Who is telling these women these trousers look good? They all look like something out of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Apologies for epic link.

Even DH commented negatively on someone wearing them the other week and he has zero interest in style and beauty (he married me ).

I agree @DontCallMeCharlotte the overly long trouser look is pretty awful!

I think I've read that Camilla struggles with the heat which is why she sometimes has time ahead, to acclimatise. I think some people travel better than others, my DH travels worldwide for work and copes really well with the long flights and changes of time zones.....there's no way I could do it (but I wouldn't tell him that! )

I think Mathilde has the look of Agnetha from Abba. Or Agnetha looks like Mathilde. Not sure which one is older!

Agnetha must be in her 60s - maybe even closer to 70? Mathilde is only mid-40s but has looked the same since she was about 25.

Mathilde is only 46. Because of her hair, style of dress and older husband, she looks like a well preserved 50 something .
She’s about the same age as Maxima, Letizia and CP Mary

In the articles about Rose Cholmondley there's a lot of reference to her being the best dressed at the royal wedding. Does anyone know what she wore? I can't find any photos.

Fingermoose.
I don't remember her at the wedding and can't find any photos online either.

Pink

Woops

Ignore me ... I took that from The Sun article but that's not Rose is it?

Tatler, for no reason at all apparently, posted a profile of Rose today. Apparently she's been best friends with W&K for over a decade and they've regularly double-dated (not a euphemisn, I assume).

Zac Posen has posted a new photo of Eugenie’s evening dress on Instagram. It’s beautiful from this angle.

As more press are jumping on the bandwagon, sadly it seems there must be an element of truth in it.

Eugenie looks more like Beatrice there!

Why do I get the feeling, the Cambridges threatened to sue unless the newspapers reveal the source of their news? I hardly think they would just laugh it off and let something as this slip.
