What a beautiful video of the Queen and her grandchildren! I'm looking forward to the baby news but I sense that we will hear it here first!

Announcement from mail saying no baby yet

NoTheresa · 02/05/2019 21:18

Lovely video. Smile

Daisypie · 02/05/2019 21:21

Loved that video of the Queen. 'ouch that's my foot you're standing on.'

Meghan must be going spare wanting to get the baby out.
I reckon she’s got an induction booked for tomorrow, hence announcing Harry’s visit to the NL next week.
She was due last weekend so I’m sure they wouldn’t go more than one week over with an older mum and massive baby.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 02/05/2019 21:29

I remember seeing that clip years ago. “Yoo-g’nee!”
That was the first time I’d heard her name pronounced.
Balmoral looks idyllic for little children. Miles and miles of your own private, manicured countryside.

CP Victoria on a visit to Athens today. I'm not a fan of the white trainers with this look - the skirt and blouse are otherwise okay.

Yikes! CPV channeling the nuns who used to teach in my primary school.

queenofarles · 02/05/2019 22:05

Not loving CPV look, although the idea of wearing trainers and midi skirt is nice, in Reality it’s a different story, difficult to pull off.

Paradyning · 02/05/2019 22:16

😂 @RedLemon yes that's it!

Booboostwo · 02/05/2019 22:44

MotherofPearl the trainers might have been the only choice given the long walk up ancient, worn, marble steps all the way to the Acropolis.

Baby Sussex will be born on Saturday and she will be called Leia.

May the Force be with her Grin

Parking myself here, looking at my watch, tutting...

mathanxiety · 03/05/2019 03:21

Victoria's outfit looks like something from the early 90s.

Paradyning · 03/05/2019 03:35

I think CPV has lost her style mojo lately

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 03/05/2019 06:29

To be honest, if you look at her 80s style pantsuits in weird mid pastel colours (salmon pink / pistachio / sky blue) I do question when she was renowned for her style.
I think she is of the Princess Anne school. Zero interest in fashion; gets on with the job.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 03/05/2019 06:31

Today, there is a service for the RVO holders at Windsor.
It is every 4 years, so is a big deal.
As Kate has just got hers; I suspect she will be there with a new outfit, updo and jaunty hat ( headband?)
Hopefully Sophie is back from India and will be attending too...

Stravapalava · 03/05/2019 06:33

I love CPV's outfit... Until I get to the trainers! Although like a PP said, it might have been practicality rather than fashion. It's a long old cobbly / uneven walk up to the top of the Acropolis!

thisshitgotreal · 03/05/2019 07:04

Anyone seen the headband sported by Natasha Archer (DoC stylist) to receive her MVO?! Now that is a headband!!Shock

floraloctopus · 03/05/2019 07:06

CPV's style is what my mother would wear...I'm in my 50s.
Agree about the trainers though, you'd struggle in stilettos.

frugalkitty · 03/05/2019 07:14

Oh Rhubarb yes!!! A Star Wars baby!!! Best comment on these threads ever!

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/05/2019 07:24

I wear trainers with most things so I quite like CPV's outfit. Better than the trouser suits at least!

Vogue Williams Matthews who is married to a man whose brother is married to a sister of the Duchess of Cambridge ( shades of "I danced with a man who danced with a girl who danced with the Prince of Wales" Smile) was sporting one of those headbands, as she judged the "Best Dressed" competition at Punchestown Races the other day.
