Ah Bertrand, that explains it Grin

BlingLoving · 25/04/2019 15:35

@markle - we've all been commenting for ages that Kate looks super happy. basically since Louis came along. Like she got her third baby, doesn't have to deal with HG again and is all glowy as a result! Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 25/04/2019 15:42

That's true @SenecaFalls, I read that he really likes her and they seem very at ease with each other when you see them together.

When was the last time Kate was photographed at a public event not looking happy? I know she looks tired sometimes but she is always smiling and appears happy I think. As a pp said definitely since the return to work post Louis! But even before that.

Camilla Long is such a bitch. YOU ARE A BITCH, CAMILLA, a jealous bitch.

There. I’ve said it.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 25/04/2019 16:06

Kate looks great in today's outfit, so regal but approachable too.
She reminds me of how elderly relatives would describe Queen Alexandra (albeit an elderly Alexandra) regal & kind.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 25/04/2019 16:11

I mean late relatives.

ShakeYourTailFeathers · 25/04/2019 16:19

Kate's jewellery today is v pretty

ElspethFlashman · 25/04/2019 16:38

Kate looks lovely, I like the colour and I like the kicky feathers on the hat. The shape is nice too. I always make a bit of a wincey face whenever an outfit shows off how thin she is, but that's my own thing.

I saw the little video clip of them walking in and Kate looked like she had literally saved up some word vomit to fling at Harry as they approached the entrance. It was kinda funny and actually completely unnatural - they had done the entire journey together but now suddenly there was this super animated conversation they just had to have as they were passing the press?? Lol.

That said, however premeditated, it will certainly work! She's really gotten so good at this.

Thedarklady · 25/04/2019 16:50

Camilla Long is horrible. She had an interview with the actor Michael Fassbender and asked him how big his d#*# was and wrote that she bet she could see it if she wanted to. She then took potshots and also called him an oaf after he found out and said that he wouldn't go near her or touch her with a bargepole.

Read a well researched piece about Kate, can't remember where. It was about how she's grown in her role and has been happier since Louis' birth. Not just because of her new child but also since they've relocated to London (which she loves) and since her mother (nice but in charge) is spending less time with The Cambridges after many years. In her early days of her marriage, Kate lived in Wales which was good but tough at times as she loves the city, its conveniences and her social life.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 25/04/2019 16:52

I love that shape on Kate, she has really made it her own. I do wonder how she keeps all that swingy coat under control on a windy day, it must be heavily weighted! The contrast of forest green and teal/peacock blue is what lifts it out of the ordinary and gives it that special twist.

Nice to see Kate and Harry laughing together as though nothing was amiss although as others have said, this is classic Kate in times of trouble. She's made of admirable stuff.

Unlike Charles who has been utterly taken in by Meghan's charm offensive, silly man.

bestbefore · 25/04/2019 16:53

What do you think Kate wears under those coats?

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 25/04/2019 17:02

No idea, @bestbefore, good point, she doesn't take the coat off at any point so maybe it's a coat dress. Did anyone notice she has quite a nice twisty side bun thing going on? My only criticism of Kate is that her posture isn't awfully good. She needs someone to teach her some yoga

LittleAndOften · 25/04/2019 17:03

What do you think Kate wears under those coats?

Suspenders and a corset!

Sorry I'm a lurker but couldn't resist! Grin

FATEdestiny · 25/04/2019 17:10

I often wonder the same about the queen. She's often in a coat/hat that match, with a flash of a matching dress underneath. I wonder how much that dress cost, given it's rarely seen in public.

SevenSeasofRye · 25/04/2019 17:28

I love Kate's outfit. She and Harry look so relaxed and in tune with each other. He genuinely looks happy for the first time in a long while. Definitely seems to be tension between him and William which is really sad. I also don't think William likes Meghan. I suspect Kate isn't too keen on her either, but puts on a good show.

SevenSeasofRye · 25/04/2019 17:29

I agree that Camilla Long article was beyond unpleasant.

ElspethFlashman · 25/04/2019 17:44

She has a yoga teacher!

And remember when she was out shopping in Lululemon yoga pants?

(Though I suspect she's more of a Pilates girl)

From all accounts, Charles is a big fan of Meghan's, and I think that will account for a lot, especially in the future.

Sort of linking into a discussion a few pages back, a lot of people noticed how Charles behaved towards Meghan and Doria at the wedding. It was more than good manners, IMO, it was genuine warmth and happiness. I'm not a big fan of his but even as a republican bystander I was impressed with him that day!

BertrandRussell · 25/04/2019 18:21

“I'm not a big fan of his but even as a republican bystander I was impressed with him that day!”

Me too. It was charmingly done.

mathanxiety · 25/04/2019 18:23

Love today's outfit on KM. I think her version of the dress is far nicer than the one on the model, which features a turned down collar and slightly asymmetrical gold buttons.

The blue coatdress and green shoes and bag are perfect together imo, and the hat with the greeny feathers is fantastic. The colours make the poppy stand out.

Clearly a lot of affection between Harry and Kate.

Paradyning · 25/04/2019 18:23

Wooo I was right! A Wickstead! I was woeful. The colour though but I love that colour. Really suits her.
However, I stand by my theory that she always ballses up on the accessories. In my opinion that green doesn't go with the outfit on shoes or bag.

mathanxiety · 25/04/2019 18:24

Me three, Yellow and Bertrand. Charles rose considerably in my estimation that day.

Paradyning · 25/04/2019 18:25

Not sure how ' I was wrong on the colour though' got translated into 'I was woeful'. Some posters may think I am woeful however Grin

Paradyning · 25/04/2019 18:29

Ok. I am woeful. It's a catherine Walker isn't it?
