Royal style & gossip: the baby's here, now back to the frocks!

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!

Apparently Kitty has a taste for older men. she dated this guy for 4 years and he left her for Liz Hurley. He was only 46, certainly didn’t look it and not in a good way.

Makes me think she definitely has Daddy issues and Charles Spencer is stingy at funding his numerous children. Apart from modelling for D&G; I have no idea what Kitty Spencer does for work....

I think this has to be my favourite royal headline ever!
“Prince Harry, whose son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on Monday, was seen smiling at his grandmother today”

She does Ads for Bulgari Jewelery too.
How many children does he have?

I guess power and money can make any man look handsome.

Earl Spencer has 7 or 8 children and is on his 3 rd wife.

Gosh ! Can’t imagine the cost of marrying and having children with three different wives!

Hi @AhoyDelBoyyes it was me who wrote about Mrs Alice. She is Mrs Tom Naylor Leyland and we are former neighbours. Her husband’s family is complicated:

1. Tom’s grandmother was the named beneficiary of the money and lands of the last (10th) Earl Fitzwilliam. The Earl’s wife was previously married and had two daughters. The youngest daughter inherited land in Yorkshire (hence @TomInMalton) and a big house in Peterborough plus millions of £££. Rumour has it that this daughter (Tom’s grandmother) was the daughter of the Earl. RUMOUr ALERT before the family sue me.

The Fitzwilliams are also a very interesting family.

The last direct line Earl was the 8th Earl 8th Earl Peter. He had an affair with JF Kennedy’s sister (she was the widow of the heir to Devonshire titles/Chatswirth Estate) and they both died in a plane crash. Peter has a daughter, Juliet, who is the mother in law of (wait for it...) ...

Jacob Rees Mogg.

Mrs Alice does wear normal clothes when she’s off duty

Country dog walk

@RhubarbIsEvil It's amazing how intertwined these aristocratic families are, isn't it? The number of times I've googled someone and then within a few clicks found that they're related to someone else!

Kitty is beautiful, but her brother is a complete dish. Nicki Minaj seems to agree!

Well!!! Kitty's brother is rather nice, isn't he? 😊

Wow! He certainly doesn't take after his father.

Louis Spencer looks more like his mum, so is good looking.
Prince William, his first cousin takes after Johnnie and Charles Spencer so is not ageing well.
William’s nose is pure Windsor though

Kitty appears to have lost a lot of weight, judging by this recent photo. I guess that's all part and parcel of being a model, although I'm not sure she was ever a proper catwalk one like the Hadid sisters or Cara Delavigne etc?

Charles Spencer is slowly morphing into his father, the old earl, isn't he?

Lovely photo of Meghan and Doria, then and now. They look so alike!

I do think William is still very good looking actually. He's got a bit "comfortable" around the cheeks as men of his age do, but has nice eyes and a decent nose.

He can look a bit toothy. Apparently he broke a tooth whilst on a boozy night out and I don't think the repair is as good as it could have been. Disclaimer, I a not a dentist.

I agree re William's looks. He's lost his boyish good looks, but then at almost 40 that's to be expected, I think. He's certainly not bad looking.

Charles and Victoria certainly produced beautiful children.
Queen I think Kitty is an Ad/society /instagram model, I’ve seen her do some runways for D&G. Modelling Bulgari jewellery , Zimmerman, she did lots of magazine features , I didn’t actually think she was this active.
Runways is not as lucrtive as deals and sponsorships . I bet her name helps a lot too.

I never thought I’d see Mrs Alice in brown

Oh Kitty, what have you done??? She used to have a glorious figure and now she looks like she’s lost 2 stone when she didn’t need to

The Spencer family is so dysfunctional - the Windsor's seem almost normal by comparison! I can totally see the appeal of the very stable Middletons to William. I guess Harry and Meghan bonded over shared experiences of "difficult" relatives.

In the Times today, it says that they are going to raise Archie as a private citizen and will not be seen much. In the same article they say he ill go on tour with them to Africa. I presume he will be hidden from view then....?

Didn’t Michael Jackson used to cover his offspring with a towel?

A blanket I think, his youngest was known as Blanket for a while.

Will have a proper read of your post in a minute Rhubarb. There’s a Royal documentary on here at the moment. I thi k I’ve seen it, or something very similar before but a few points..

• It’s just amazing to see the footage of HMQs coronation, absolutely amazing. They’ve also shown footage from her diamond jubilee. It’s really made me realise how ‘big’ it’s going to be when she passes on. I honestly can’t imagine what it’s going to be like.
• also quite amazing to see the footage of when her DF died and her, her sister and mother are in black veils.
• Of course we’ve seen the footage of William and Harry behind Diana’s coffin and it’s just awful to see William’s face when his head is bowed. He just has a certain look in his face that’s heartbreaking
• on a cheerier note Prince George was the cutest baby/toddler ever. He looked so darling at Charlotte’s christening, a mere baby himself.

Nothing really on the fashion front but just nice to snuggle down on a Sunday night and watch a royal documentary
