Previous thread

What neon shade will HM wear? Will the DoE attend? Will Kate have a new coat dress? Will Meghan make an appearance? And which of us will be able to identify every random Windsor on the balcony?

All will be revealed tomorrow...

Kate is glowing. IF there is any truth in the rumour then she’s decided to put it behind her. I would think She’s in a much more powerful position as the DofC rather than the ex DofC.

I've said this before but those Skinnys and those boots do not go together at all. Her knee-high boots would be much better - even her wellies would have been better - to give balance.
Also her hair do. It's very beautiful but it's to perfectly coiffed for the rest of the style of her clothes. She could almost put a ballgown on from her neck up.

Paradyning · 11/06/2019 18:02

*too

SunshineCake · 11/06/2019 18:07

I still can't see any photos.

itswinetime · 11/06/2019 18:13

Photos of the day for those that can't see still and video of the sheep shearing here and if I have cross posted again I'm going to think someone is stalking me Wink

Sheep shearing and the rest

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 11/06/2019 18:13

It's always possible she was told what to wear in terms of practicality, bending in long boots might have been restricting, though I agree they would have looked better.

What I love about Kate is she gets stuck in, whether it's ball games, boat racing or now shearing. She always looks like she's thoroughly enjoying herself too.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 11/06/2019 18:15

I'll be watching out for a sheepskin headband now...

SlipperOrchid · 11/06/2019 18:30

How is she more powerful as the DOC instead of the ex DOC in any way Iheart? IMO the only power she has is being the birth mother of the future king which nobody can ever take from her.

Is it any different to any woman who has been cheated on? There is a lot of sympathy the first time it happens but after that the public lose respect eg Victoria Beckham. IWhen somebody cheats once, they will do so again. And again. I suspect William has been told to choose his women more carefully to ensure the utmost discretion.

Lovely Pictures of her thank you for posting them QueenOfTheAndals, in the video she is so sweet and lovely to everyone even the Spaniels Smile. I like the look tbh, it is harking back to Diana with the frilly collar and jumper Smile , I love her hairstyle too . Thanks for the heads up re the Topsy Tail Myimaginarycathasfleas , l will get one for my Dd2 Smile

RhubarbIsEvil · 11/06/2019 18:44

Oh, I dunno - being the Queen of England might have more sway at Court rather than the ex DoC.

EnidButton · 11/06/2019 18:45

Thanks Pink they're not actually too ££ but still very expensive. I wouldn't trudge around a sheep farm in them.

If it helps, I thought she fit in with a particular Cumbrian style very well.

EnidButton · 11/06/2019 18:47

(Not too expensive if bought at sale price I mean. Still out of my budget but you know, relatively speaking.)

Mrsmadevans · 11/06/2019 18:47

Just from the Daily Fail online , look at her fondling the dogs ears, ahh she is lovely .

IMO You only have to look at the easing out at Christmas, Easter & summer holidays of Diana & Fergie to see that Kate is better off being in the fold than out of it. I wouldn’t be happy about it but each to their own.

EnidButton · 11/06/2019 18:50

Actually if they're the boots I'm looking at, Kate has gone quite literal again. Cumbria is known for hill walking and sheep so she's gone with shearling lined hiking boots.

EnidButton · 11/06/2019 18:51

That pink dress is very Killing Eve. I like it.

StCharlotte · 11/06/2019 18:58

Both the Swedish princesses look adorable!

(ABBA were on Polar Records just so you know)

Not keen on Kate's spray-ons (and I love skinnies). They look sort of explicit if that makes any sense.

Wetdogloveshubert · 11/06/2019 19:06

Not a style picture, but DoC has a brief chat with the daughters of the farmers today in the below video. She asks about their plaits, how she failed to do one for Charlotte this morning, and couldn't wear her Elsa dress for them. Lovely engagement.

CP Victoria does look rather like a smiley Villanelle in the pink dress!

MotherofPearl · 11/06/2019 19:10

She looks so happy. I know it’s her job and all but I do like seeing her look so smiley and engaged.

I agree. I guess this is what I meant the other day about her having grit. She may hate sheep shearing, or trudging around on muddy farms, or standing around in the rain, but not only does she get on with it, she always smiles and seems to really enjoy herself.

I know it's her job. She just happens to be pretty good at it, imo.

Notmyrealname855 · 11/06/2019 19:11

Love seeing the pics of them getting stuck in! They’re both so engaged - used to be a bit more stiff but really settling well into meet and greets. Love Kate’s hairdo, no idea how that’s done... good work look..

Loved seeing kate helping with dry stone walling with her ring on! Imagine losing/ damaging that!

Very good royal visit. Would be heartening to know if they got the train

UrsulaPandress · 11/06/2019 19:12

If he has cheated I really don’t know how she can bear to be within 6 feet of him.

Notmyrealname855 · 11/06/2019 19:15

She’s very good at faking it if that’s true...

Equally IF there have been any shenanigans then maybe it happened a while ago and they resolved it, long before news got out.

Still not entirely convinced it happened - not because of his background, but because they look naturally very content. Plus the US reports said nothing more than the rather crap speculation we had here, there didn’t really seem much evidence to report. Maybe I’m just a romantic :)
