I think that’s all of them??

Well yes, I meant from a royal budget point of view! The jeans are available online https://outlanddenim.co.uk

Yes, I thought of that after I hit post 😳

Just saw these photos on Instagram of DOC's Erdem dress from October 2015. So odd and unflattering... and it cost almost £2700.

Her evening wear is generally pretty good and suits her frame.

I quite liked the fabric of the dress and the colours suited Kate, but it was cut weirdly with that ruffle at the bottom.

Here's HH&MM and the kids wearing traditional costumes. Sverre-Magnus looks about 45!!

And CPM has attended a fashion summit but I'm not sure about the dress.

I think CPM's white blazer just ruins her look there. I'm not mad about the dress but it would have looked far nicer without that blazer.

And have we seen CPV rocking double denim today?

Erdem has made some more of her worst outfits, very floral curtain style.

The mustard Erdem may well be the worst thing Kate's ever worn, followed closely by that blue velvet number. I put it down to pregnancy hormones!

(But Kate, if you're reading this, the Jenny Packham gowns are divine!)

I like most of her choices, especially if they are quite glamorous or casual. The Erdems, school ma'am/governess type clothes, flouncy skirts and the coat dresses are the items that need looking at.

I hope she has some great outfits for The Chelsea Flower Show and Wimbledon!

Ooh, CPV in a Texas Tuxedo.

I don't think I've seen Kate wear anything by Erdem that I like. It's all 70s curtain fabric to me!

Those evening Erdems are the most WTF DoC fashion choices ever.

"Texas tuxedo"

Totally agree about Kate's Erdem outfits. All dreadful, floral, flouncy abominations.

This Erdem - from the Canada tour - was okay I guess.

Yes that one is nice, and I liked the tweedy "comeback" dress she wore to the V&A last year, though it was a bit Marmite.

Oh yes queen I'd forgotten about that one, that was ok.

Yes, the thread was very divided on the tweedy one. I liked it a lot.

Here's Zara but her outfit is not the focus here!!

Oh wow. Are those unicorns?

Still, they look so happy. It's lovely to see.

Mike also recently confirmed that there is indeed a Windsor WhatsApp group!

Did Mia Tindall choose her dad’s trousers? I’d like to think he let her help.

People did think she’s had her baby in The Portland. Don’t know how far that is from Frogmore.

Do you suppose it was a dare?
