Royal style & gossip: don't be fooled by the rocks that they've got, they're still Katie/Leti/Maxi from the block

Rania’s trouser suit is only marginally better still awful.
And the face is pure plastic

Kate and William haven't been to Dublin on an official visit afaik. Meghan and Harry have.
Kate was here with her Mum when on a 'break' from her relationship with William a few years back.
Kate wore the green lurex dress in Belfast.

Maybe they’ll sell Party Pieces? Not that many assets, it’s just the brand value

Sorry @beanaseirann.
I just remembered her pulling pints of Guinness and in my head I thought it was Dublin!

It was in the pub opposite the Europa hotel. Can't remember them name of it but the hotel is the most bombed in Europe!

Was it The Crown in Belfast ?
It's a National Trust pub.

Sorry Curly but I checked because I thought I'd missed a Royal visit by W&K and wondered how I ( or the Irish media had)

Oh my word. When i read your post I was expecting a grumpy raincoat over a posh dress. I was not expecting.... that

I had a look at Ginnie Chadwyck’s instagram, Edwardian high collar dresses are her thing, plus twee Chinti and Parker bright jumpers.
Much prefer Natasha’s styling.

While I was in Selfridges I spotted these Alice bands. There was another with pearls on it that reminded me of the one a kind friend made for my wedding.

Ok , so I like those @BigGreenOlives ... are those prices in pounds? Coz that might put me off!

(Disclaimer: I am in Oz, and go to very few weddings. We don't tend to wear headpieces of any kind to weddings down under. I do go to the races though - lots of fascinators etc there)

Last Oz wedding I went to was...interesting when it came to guest outfits! One guy was wearing an AC/DC tie but, compared to the other guests, at least he was wearing a tie...

The raincoat is that bad! Not sure about the collar on the trouser suit though.

Hah @Queen, yeah Oz weddings can be interesting.
Perhaps only topped by kiwis (and I am one)... the last mixed Oz-Kiwi wedding I went to, the dress code was officially "formal", which most of the kiwis interpreted as their best black jeans and good (at least they were clean) runners .

I see from Twitter that the Mail's front page is about Meghan "snubbing" the queen's gynae. A) how is this front page news? and b) heaven forbid a woman has a right to choose who delivers her baby!

I work in a church and Oz weddings can be either very very casual, or very very evening-ey. Funerals are ridiculously casual, no one wears black and I went to my friend’s mum’s funeral and her brother was wearing jeans!

DM are also saying Bea is getting married this year.

She hasn't even been with her BF a year has she?

Charlène looking good

Dies anyone else have Alan Farthing cast in a similar role to Jilly Coopers Dr James Benson?

If you are married into the Royal
family, there are obvious restrictions/ rules to be followed when it comes to birth.

Why marry into the RF if you are going to kick against it all the time?

Traditions maybe, but "rules"? Diana and Fergie chose to break with tradition by giving birth in hospital. I hardly think Meghan choosing her own doctor is headline-worthy.

Wasn't Alan Farthing the late Jill Dando's fiancée ?
I watched a recent documentary on her awful murder. Such a dreadful thing to happen to Jill, and of course, her loved ones left behind trying to deal with her horrific death and the loss of her.

Yes he was. He didn’t feature at all in the documentary.

Kate giving birth there hardly constitutes a tradition.

Wasn't Alan Farthing the late Jill Dando's fiancé?

Or as my friend accidentally called her the other day "Jan Dildo" Drink had been taken.
