Fabulous images of Harry - thank you.

Harry just has such great people skills. He’s wonderful with kids too. Nice to see him looking happy and relaxed. He’s looked miserable and tense for some time now on joint engagements with Meghan.

Broody Harry!

Lovely to see his old relaxed self.
I am so looking forward to seeing him with his own child!

If all goes well with the delivery, I bet she’ll be pregnant next year as well. She’s going to be 38 in the summer.

feel like we'd seen a lot more of George and Charlotte by the time they were his age but maybe I'm not remembering right.

We saw quite a lot of George in his first year because William and Kate took him on tour toNew Zealand and Australia, so there was lots of press coverage.

I don’t think Charlotte was seen as much as a baby, but as a toddler she was taken to i think Canada and then Germany and Poland.

Cambridge visit to Canada. I thought Kate’s wardrobe was impeccable
I loved all the coordinating outfits, and she wore loads of casual clothes.
I think that trip must have been PR gold.
Perhaps, if they do another short tour; they’ll take just Louis, as George is in School and Charlotte must be starting in September.

I found her wardrobe for that Canada tour a bit dull. I preferred the previous one, where she literally dressed as Anne of Green Gables one day! Her India and Far East/Pacific wardrobes were a hit for me, as was the Poland one where she tried a few new looks. The slightly hippy vibe she sported in India really suited her and makes me wish she'd go back to it more often. The Boho Duchess has a nice ring to it!

Re Harry, he did seem to be so at ease yesterday. Funnily enough, I had a job interview with that particular YMCA several years ago! I agree he's been looking a bit tense on joint engagements but I think that's more to do with the way the press have gone after Meghan rather than Meghan herself.

Harry does have amazing people skills but I feel he’s behaving quite petulantly and entitled at the moment. Global humanitarians and telling the plebs off re their catbon footprints.

All 'humanitarians' are like that though. Look at Bono. I guess it has to be balanced against the work they do. But agree it's ridiculous to charter a private jet when they could just travel first class in a normal plane.

I hate the 'Do as I say, not as I do.' attitude of many celebrities.

Lastly, on Tuesday, HMQ held a reception at Windsor Castle in celebration of the centenary of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO). Looking lovely in blue.

Nobody loves a trouser suit like CPV! And Daniel's commitment to hair gel remains unstinting.

I know this has been discussed before but WHERE does HM keep all her clothes? After nearly 70 years as queen she could probably fill one of the smaller palace with them, perhaps a room per outfit colour! Did someone say she anonymously gives them away to charity?

CPV does love a trouser suit!! I wish she would let her hair down every once in a while, her face is so pretty but always looks severe with her hair scraped so tight back. I guess she just prefers it that way. No messing about with it then.

I met the Edge from U2 years ago, and he was just so lovely , he is envolved In various charities, but he didn’t come by as being entitled, or preached his views or anything We sat at the same table , we were part of a big group of people from different professions, he was just the nicest person.

I just read on The DM that the Queen has banned Meghan from borrowing any jewels . But isn’t there a precedence of who gets to wear what? So In reality she has a very limited choice to pick from.Its best to start her own collection.

I highly doubt the Mail's spin on that story is true. If there's an order of precedence there's an order of precedence, it's hardly a ban! If Meghan was to attend something like a State Dinner or diplomatic reception (as Kate has) then I'm sure she'd be lent a tiara for the occasion.

I agree QueenOfTheAndals we don't see Sophie in the same tiara as we see Catherine and that's not been pointed out in the same tone.

RosinaAlmaviva · 04/04/2019 13:52

I just read on The DM that the Queen has banned Meghan from borrowing any jewels .

Sounds drastic but there may be a backstory we don't know about. E.g. the Queen lends Meghan a BROOCH, when she asks for it BACK Meghan says she can't FIND it, and THEN the Queen sees it on EBAY…

SunshineCake · 04/04/2019 14:05

Hmm.

How does it works?
MM is not royal, she is married to a royal, so what if Camilla , Kate Sophie or one of the York girls all attend to . Who gets first dibs?.
