Royal style & gossip: hairbands and birth plans

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Will Kate emerge from her Norfolk seclusion sporting a bigger than ever Alice band? Will the Mail and Express stories about Meghan get more ludicrous by the day? And will this thread see the arrival of Baby Sussex? All will be revealed in due course...

BettyBoo That's some ring Grace is wearing !!!
I prefer a cushion cut diamond myself

Typo. I think George is tall like William.
He is still pure Middleton, agreed.
As Charlotte looks a lot like William, I wonder if we’ll see a resemblance to Diana as she gets older....

Mia is so cute!
Love the look George is giving the photographer. New material for Gary Janetti’s next insta post .

Charlotte loves a skirt. That little kilt is so cute.
Looks like she is wearing George’s hand me down coat with the sleeves rolled back.
Bet we’ll see Louis in some George Rewears.

Rhubarb I was thinking that William does look good here

That's hilarious @Rhubarbisevil, who ever heard of a rugby player being described as "swashbuckling"??

Country rules;

Barbour and wellies - yes
Barbour and boots - yes
Barbour and trainers- only if you’re Prince William

Well I think we all knew William hasn't inherited his dad's love of dressing well. Charles wouldn't dream of showing up at an engagement wearing a fleece!

When is Ella Windsor’s wedding? Sometime in may?

18 May, same Saturday as last year's May wedding. I am wishing them the same glorious weather!

I love those casual pictures. Nice reminder that when children are involved and they're off duty they're basically a normal family, not like how W&H were raised. You'd never have seen casual shots of them being carted about by their uncles bashing about with swords and the like.

Are they pap shots or authorised? I'm assuming paps as they're unposed.

I like Kate's coat. I'd love to know where they get their children's clothes from, not that I could probably afford to shop there.

Cute.

Oh, they must have been at Burnham Market yesterday (not clicking a DM link to confirm). I saw Zara riding but I didn't see any of the rest of them. It was absolutely freezing and snowed at one point so I expect they were staying in the warm if they had any sense!

I think Kate buys a lot of their casual clothes in JL. But similar clothes can be found everywhere, I don’t think there is anything particularly special about their day to day clothes.....

I've seen photos of George in Gap jumpers and Charlotte in sundresses I've spotted in H&M. Even if you're royal there's no point spending £££ on everyday clothes I guess!

It's official: Kate's Alice bands are cool:

(Hope the Times share token works)

I did the padded headbands thing in primary school - I can't imagine feeling anything other than ridiculous in one as a woman of 36 Some of those in the Times article even look like my school headwear!

They are hideous. The 'best' royal one was the relatively flat one Eugénie wore at Xmas and has worn since.

George looks just like Michael Middleton and Charlotte like a Windsor :) Their clothes are often from the high street - only on official engagements do they wear those 1950s clothes! Kate also seems to wear more high st in her down time, last year she wore a gorg and simple blue and white Zara dress that I also had! Don’t think her or William are that bothered about fashion really, in a good way

Grace’s ring is crazy! Gosh you could get lost looking into that

Ooh ooh this is me 25 years ago (as a bridesmaid) - did I start the trend?

Harry and Meghan: The Movie is just starting on Channel 5! A cinematic masterpiece!

😂😂😂

I'm so glad I had the forethought to record this treasure. It will go nicely with a 🍷 or three!

I'm kind of, the Prince of England

He Botswana'd her

The greatest script of all time.

I noticed that Pippa's dress in the film looks a little like Meghan's turned out to be. Psychic powers as well as talent from the film makers!

I disagree that George is 'pure Middleton'.I think he looks just like William when he was small and I also see Charles Spencer and Lord Althorp in him.
Louis looks very Middleton.

I was in Claire's on Friday with my giddy DD1 and spotted a load of those headbands. Don't be spending hundreds when you can spend pennies on them ladies!!

Charlene, Charlene no no no no nooooo

Jesus holy Christ What was she thinking
