Any guesses on what Meghan will wear to introduce baby Sussex? I'm guessing Givenchy as it's her go-to designer for big events.

Then again she could surprise us all and come out in a JoJo Maman Bébé breastfeeding tunic!

Barbara Cartland was Princess Diana's step grandmother, and her sons are somehow distantly related to PD in another way as well, iirc.

CPV looks good in that floral dress. I think the softer, less structured dresses flatter her more than the rather stiff, heavy fabric dresses and skirts she sometimes opts for.

Loved KM's outfit today.. even if it was literal dressing yet again 😄 It's great that she's moving towards more trouser outfits!

Photocall is at Windsor castle and it has ruffled some feathers...

If I were a Commonwealth broadcaster I’d be rather peed off!

MotherofPearl · 07/05/2019 23:20

I see Charles and Camilla are in Germany. I really like Camilla's black and white outfit - she looks good.

Who's feathers has it ruffled and why is it because they are limiting who has access?

After seeing the videos shared on previous threads of some of the photo calls William and Harry had as kids I can completely see why it would be only a few allowed in. As long as the photos are freely shared with everyone at the same time I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

MotherofPearl · 07/05/2019 23:21

I know a pp was complaining about her wingy hair - she seems to have toned the wings down a bit maybe?

Perhaps the Sussexes will be in matching/coordinating pyjamas Grin
Anyway going back to Philip, I thought he looked quite healthy & sprightly today. I thought HMQ looked a bit run down compared to him.

itswinetime · 08/05/2019 00:19

I personally am hoping baby Sussex is dressed in something similar to this Wink or at least a little prince onesie!

Baby will be in all white. Would love to see Meghan in a cream top and yoga pants with some big fluffy socks. Will be more formal than that though!

I'm still quite Hmm at Philip moving out to the cottage on whichever estate it is and leaving the queen to it. Coverage has been all 'It's the peaceful retirement he wants' but surely he could have done that for blocks of time at a time without leaving his wife to live alone?

AhoyDelBoy · 08/05/2019 00:36

Baby Sussex is FINALLY here! Yay! Can’t wait for the pictures. Hoping they name him Theodore nn Teddy. Love this little snippet of Prince William re:Baby Sussex (not sure if it’s already been shared, need to catch up)

itswinetime · 08/05/2019 00:39

I think it's Sandringham. I can see both sides I think it's a shame we don't have a system where the monarch can retire. But we don't and I can see why after so long you would want to escape palace life! Charles and Camillia have a similar set up to what you described from my understanding.

Cute sketch of the Sussex family

SlipperOrchid · 08/05/2019 01:12

I’m alone in thinking Kate’s outfit was not good today. I didn’t like the ribbed cuffs on the top. It made the top look too heavy to tuck into the trousers in the way she tucked it in. Thankfully at least she tucked it in though rather than left it out!

The trousers were a strange length, and the red bag utterly predictable. A dull outfit that didn’t work.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/05/2019 02:34

That is adorable @Ahoydelboy

AhoyDelBoy · 08/05/2019 02:36

The sketch? Yeh I follow a few artists on instagram who do royal sketches, I think they’re sweet.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/05/2019 02:40

Sorry yes the sketch! ( I end up reading these threads backwards when I’m having a catch up!). Can you post some links to the other Royal sketches please? They look deceptively simple ( which I’m sure they’re not!) and make me wish I could draw!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/05/2019 02:45

I really like the black and white outfit of Camilla’s. Normally she is in pastel type shades, but this particular outfit is great. It’s about the 3rd time I’ve seen her wear it. She’s had her hair cut, but I think they’ve taken too much off. I prefer it a bit longer as it softens her face and I don’t mind the “wings”

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/05/2019 03:02

My two pennoth on what H&M will be wearing.
If it’s a Windsor Castle, as a pp said, this is the most likely as they won’t want to release photos of their house.

It’s the first visit to Harry’s grandmother / the Queen so I think he will smarten up and be in chinos, white shirt and navy or grey jacket.
Meghan will be in a dress and heels as she will want to be smart. Probably some trapèze shape to accommodate her figure as it will have been organised before her delivery and she would have had no idea what her body would look like post birth ( as none of us do).
Baby will be in a white babygro and blanket. Maybe some cute little hat, which will sell out.
From Harry’s interview 2 days ago, it seems like there will be a film crew so probably a few questions. Answers about the baby are going to be pretty predictable, so I’m curious as to whether H&M will say too much about where the baby was born, or indeed announce his name....
I’m wondering if in a month or so there will be some updated photos. Perhaps taken by Harry, out doors in the grounds of Frogmore.

CP Mary
Very Kate style dress

itswinetime · 08/05/2019 03:13

So we are thinking we will get the name with the photo shoot? Or do we think they still haven't decided?

I think (but maybe wrong) birth certificates are public record so eventually we will know some details but I'm not expecting them to speak about the birth beyond in vague terms.

I think pictures wise they seem likely to follow the Cambridge's birthday and after a while state occasions like trooping of the colour ect so I wouldn't expect to see baby again for a while I'd be happy to be wrong there though.

Your probably right curly as this is likely to tie in with meeting the queen some formality to the outfits is likely so I will go with a jumper dress or a wrap over for Meghan and I agree shirt and jacket for Harry.

Gooseysgirl · 08/05/2019 07:01

I would imagine we won't see the baby again in public until his christening. Am wondering how they'll manage the photo call in the rain... maybe inside nearby Frogmore House instead?

Kedgeree · 08/05/2019 07:10

Meghan will be wearing something that shows off her figure and the papers will go into overdrive about how she's sprung back into shape as a result of an intense ante-natal yoga regime and macrobiotic diet 🙄.

Kedgeree · 08/05/2019 07:12

Can't see them letting reporters into their own home, so I bet it'll be at the castle, indoors.

AFifthOfKoolAid · 08/05/2019 07:18

She gave birth about 50 hours ago, bit off to roll your eyes about her "springing back into shape"
