Royal style & gossip: a visit from He Who Must Not Be Named

[QueenOfTheAndals]

@Spudlet I know right? That's Instagram for you

I actually liked the dress before I realised what the pattern was!

shedid Some of the comments on the Kate fashion blogs are just as bad - so gushy about how perfect and lovely and elegant and kind and wonderful she is. It's really weird.
I like the tone on this thread much better!

Have found the ideal outfit for Melania to get off the plane in. In fact, she should just wear it for the rest of the visit, frankly.

...with this dress for the evenings?

love those dresses

Perfect! Classy, refined, elegant Perhaps the orange one could wear a matching Union Jack bowtie to the banquet?

The Orange one looks marginally better with his golf hair.
I am now struggling to understand the wierd bouffant style he has.
I thought it was a comb over to hide a giant bald patch; but it would appear he thinks it looks good.

So the Trumps must be at the US embassy. So lunch with HM next.

@floraloctopus Who says the Geri Halliwell circa 1997 look isn't making a comeback? If Melania wears that then maybe Kate could wear a leopard print catsuit, Sophie pigtails and platform sneakers, HM a tracksuit...

He actually looks younger? I honestly thought he was bald, but if not, why the bouffant?!

They’ve arrived. Melania looks like a windswept BA Stewardess c.1980

Here’s the itinerary’s:

9am: Air Force One lands at Stansted Airport.

9.40am: Mr Trump and Melania will be flown by helicopter to US Ambassador's residence in Regent's Park: Winfield House.

Midday: The President and First Lady will take off for Buckingham Palace where the Queen will meet them, show them around and then host them for lunch. Prince Harry will also be there - but his wife Meghan is at home caring for baby Archie.

3pm: The couple will then fly to Westminster Abbey where they will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior - and have a tour of the historic church.

4pm: Prince Charles will then host them at Clarence House for a 15-minute meeting before heading back to Winfield House.

7.30pm: President Trump and his family will fly back to Buckingham Palace for the state banquet with the event last until around 11pm.

Is Trump being flown round London by Helicopter.?

“Flying” to Westminster Abbey from BP would take about 45seconds

at all the flying. Use a car FGS Trump!

Surely not.

That can't be right re the flying, surely? Even for DT it's excessive!

Ah, but if he uses a car he may have to see a protest, and we can't have that. So maybe he is flying?

Glad I wasn't the only one to instantly see the air hostess in Melania's look, Curly!

IIRC he flew last time. Presumably to avoid protests. Wimp.

I think it is probably less disruptive if he flies. His huge motorcade can close areas off for extended periods.

Surely Melania’s Big Ben dress should have scaffolding around it?

Are his children with him, as was announced earlier?

At least we have frocks galore to look forward to.

Ivanka came on Saturday and visited the V&A. The whole crowd took the top floor of a hotel

I can't wait to see which brooch the Queen wears, possibly a diamond shape of London City Hall to show support for Sadiq Khan

I can imagine Ivanka wearing something pretty dramatic. Maybe a cape or a little train.

Ivanka is beautiful looking ( takes after her mother obvs ).
She looks so tall in that photo at the V&A

How tall is Ivanka? About 7ft by the looks of that photo!
