Harry is the spit of Philip in that photo of Harry side on.

IHeartArya · 29/05/2019 20:14

Gosh Harry looks just like Charles in that photo minus the beard

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/05/2019 20:37

I think Harry looks more like Phillip.
Young Charles was the spit of his mother.

I still think that Kate is a summer. I think Meghan and Eugenie are autumns and I think Beatrice might be a spring.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/05/2019 20:47

Summers generally look best in cool colours don't they? Kate looks great in berry or olive green which makes me think she's an autumn. And Meghan looks good in clear jewel winter tones rather than warm ones.

Beatrice's dress is a fright. Those flounces and frills look like a sofa cover from the 80s. Eugenie's is much better - the shape is spot on but would be better in a stronger colour.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/05/2019 20:49

Philip was a looker, one can see why HM was so keen on him!

Yes he was quite fit was Phil

managedmis · 29/05/2019 20:56

I really dont like Eugenie or Beatrice's dress : they both always look so matronly!

MoonstoneMagic · 29/05/2019 20:59

I really don't like Beatrice and Eugenie's dresses. I rarely like what they wear. They don't dress to suit their figures at all imo.

Lovely pictures, Curlywurlytwurly. I love old black and white photos.
In the 6th photo in 1939 he looks very much like Prince Edward at the same age.
It makes me realise how old Prince Phillip is when that photo was taken when my mum was a year old and she's 81 next month.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 29/05/2019 21:01

I can't get over how old Philip looks at 26 though!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/05/2019 21:02

Harry looking Fine.

Indeed, Curly, but once again he's doing something weird with his legs.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/05/2019 21:06

I agree @latedecember1963

Young Prince Edward with hair

All the Royal men go through a brief period in their early 20s where they do look pretty good, as they are all naturally tall and sporty and still have their hair.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/05/2019 21:07

Maxin a cute summer dress
She will not let go of this mad shoes though.

frugalkitty · 29/05/2019 21:09

I think Kate gets away with some autumnal greens because of the red in her hair, but I don't think green makes her pop. I think she's a deeper summer which explains why head to toe pastel doesn't always look right. I'm the same, pastel for me is best upto 50% overall, the colours I can wear head to foot include plum, Delph blue, rose madder and jade. But I have green eyes and red undertones in my hair which mean I can edge towards some autumn shades although they won't look wow on me. I will admit to being completely biased though as I think us summers have the best colour palette to choose from and I'd dress everyone in my colours if I could used to do the kids until they got their own ideas

Philip was certainly very handsome.

Meghan definitely isn’t an autumn. She looked terrible in the olive green dress last year; it wore her. She suits navy though.

Agree that Kate is probably a summer.

UrsulaPandress · 29/05/2019 21:38

The York sisters dresses are just awful. I’m sorry but they could look so much better.

hopeishere · 29/05/2019 21:39

The Queen looks splendid today! Fab hat. Eug looks fine. Not so keen on Bea's dress. They've embraced the Kate hatband with vigour though!!

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/05/2019 21:49

Has Mette-Marit had some 'work' done or is that just a dodgy photo?!
