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...

I think we should demand an Athena style poster.

Gorgeous official portrait

Max looks incredible in the photos upthread, she positively glows. What a hoot she must be at a dinner party. Thanks for the new thread Queen.

I hope Meghan and Harry get a good birth, and a quiet trip home if they can. Who needs the rigmarole of the steps, if they can avoid it? Would love an appearance, mind. Meghan will probably look fabulously happy and Harry incredibly overawed.

Is it me or does Charles look like David Dimbleby there?
It is a lovely photo though.

Emporer Naruhito and Empress Michiko celebrating 60 years of marriage.
The court scenes are like something from A Handmaid’s tale. Absolutely stifling.

Sophie went into premature labour with Louise didn't she? Plus she'd had a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy a couple of years earlier that probably automatically classed her as high risk. Meghan seems to have had a textbook pregnancy and if she's low risk then there's no reason she can't give birth at home IF that's what she wants.

At the moment the press are just speculating and quoting each other as sources, so we shouldn't assume anything. It's got to the point where if it doesn't come directly from the Palace then I don't believe it!

Max has such a stunning jewellery collection.

Beautiful photo of Camilla.

On a fashion-related note, never mind Kate's headbands, today I saw a young and trendy thing wearing a silk scarf knotted under her chin! Is Princess Anne chic a thing??

I think we'll just get a photo on their insta page with the announcement.
The DM will self implode

I think all the home birth stories are clever PR to divert the media.

I love the photo of Charles and Camilla released today.

Max looks amazing in that white dress!

Thanks for the new thread, Queen.

Did anyone see the article in the Guardian today about the splitting of William and Harry's households? Quite an interesting read. I didn't post it because I worry that my only function on the thread is posting random Guardian articles!

The babushka scarf trend has been going on for some time, I’m a big fan, keeps my hair in place if it’s terribly windy

Not so smart of Harry to be doing documantries with Oprah.

I think Meghan was more than 12 weeks at Eugenie wedding. I suspect they wanted to announce in the weeks previous but didn't in order to not overshadow (which makes a mockery of the obviously pregnant outfit she wore to the wedding).

I therefore suspect she's currently overdue or has given birth already.

No one rocks a tiara quite as well as Max does!

shouldnt there be a birth certificate if indeed she gave birth? And does it become public record as soon as it’s registered ??
We did ours very quickly because We were flying a couple of months after giving birth. but do other people delay it for some time? Can they delay?

I suspect they may want to fly with the baby soon.?

Lots of ?

I still think baby Sussex will share a birthday with Prince Louis. That will certainly set the DM tongues wagging about Kate being livid about date etc etc. The kind of nonsense they like to write about....

Kate will be even more livid (according to the tabloids obviously) if the baby winds up being HM's birthday buddy! Meghan shares a bday with the QM as is so..,

Imagine!!!!

Checking in. Max looks fantastic in that dress. Sophisticated but appropriate.

Max looks super as always :) but a bit thin, I hope she’s not under too much stress (yes I know she has a nice life but must have problems too!).

Got to say I don’t actually love Harry doing this documentary with Oprah, somehow it seems a bit colonial for a royal to be doing US shows though maybe the conservative brigade would listen to a royal over there

Have also seen Anne scarves! I miss Anne, we don’t have enough of her on here. Is there a record of the oldest piece of clothing she’s “recycled”?

That doesn't look like Charles in the official photograph

I don't think it's a US show strictly, it's for Apple so will air worldwide. He certainly seems committed to mental health issues so I'll reserve judgement until it airs.

And he's not going to be on the series, he's just producing it.
