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...

Louis applauding and waving! He’s even more of a character than Charlotte!
Adorable 💖

Horsemad · 08/06/2019 13:06

Oh, how cute is Prince Louis? Such a darling. 😊

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/06/2019 13:06

Who has a broken arm?

I think it’s one of the Duke of Kent’s grandsons. He was standing with the Earl of St Andrews and Lord Nicholas Windsor

Poor flypast though - 2 helicopters, a 146, 4 Typhoons and the Red Arrows.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/06/2019 13:08

Louis loving being a Prince!

itswinetime · 08/06/2019 13:10

I like Meghan's dress more with the coat off the white shoulders lift it for me was it the same one she wore and Christmas? Or something new?

Gooseysgirl · 08/06/2019 13:15

It's very windy here in London today - I wonder is that why there weren't many in the fly-past? The chinook and helicopter circled over where we are in NE London several times before heading to the palace - kids loved it 😄

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/06/2019 13:15

No, it was a new coat. This one had short sleeves
Navy blue is to Meghan; what Coat dresses are to Kate

Till we get the balcony pictures uploaded; Here’s some swishy video of Prince Joachin’s Birthday dinner
I love CP Mary’s sage green gown.

Gooseysgirl · 08/06/2019 13:19

Louis is adorable 🥰 I must say I think Kate looks stunning today. Pencil style works better on her than flared skirts.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/06/2019 13:20

They definitely split up the Phillips girls from the Cambridge children.
I really like the Queen’s coat. The tweed is reminiscent of Chanel. Very pretty.

George seems a bit surly and uninterested.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/06/2019 13:23

The whole family is gorgeous.
George is always reserved....

Nest year; then we will hopefully see Archie!

George always seems more serious than the other 2 in public it could be his age it could be he isn't best pleased at being split up from his cousins. It must be a very strange thing as a child all those people waving and staring

QueenOfTheAndals · 08/06/2019 13:25

Look at Charlotte waving with both hands!

I take back what I said about Kate's I'm still not a fan of the colour on her but seeing it in full the tailoring is nicer than her usual style that's a good look for her.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 08/06/2019 13:28

George and Louis are almost identical; pure Middleton.
Charlotte is a mini William; very Spencer.

AdaColeman · 08/06/2019 13:31

Camilla's face is fab there.

She's thinking "I'll poke that child if he kicks me again."

Notmyrealname855 · 08/06/2019 13:34

Love the yellow! Tricky colour to wear but looks very fresh. Personally I like the “Kate uniform” as basically means her fashion isn’t the focus, and it’s timeless. Would quite like it if Megan does the same with black/navy as it looks so sophisticated and chic! Plus she has a lovely smile so the dark colours don’t look drab. The three kids are v cute :)

DevonUkelele · 08/06/2019 13:40

Oh so much to absorb! Going off the pics as uploaded only ..
Why is Andrew at the front on the balcony today, next to QEII?

I think we've seen that hate on Kate before 🤔 - maybe at someone's wedding? Ooh - H&M last year?

Also, yes, why is Bea wearing Sophie's old dress (though she does otherwise look fab. And is that Jack opposite Eug in the same carriage - that must be quite the introduction to family traditions!).

I'm not sure about Sophie's over-large black hat today. And, yes, what does Edward have on his head?

Biggest question of all though, and maybe controversially, but why is MM's face so puffy? It's very weird. She does otherwise look much more comfortable than last year, like she might be growing into it a bit. I'm not so sure about the seriously matronly (WWII nurse?) cape thing she had going on.

SquishyFishy · 08/06/2019 13:43

I don't like the Meghan outfit. I think if she had gone for a hat with a wide brim, it would have made all the difference, but with the hat she chose, it makes her face round and plain

TuppenceTwo · 08/06/2019 13:43

I love Kate’s coat and hat! Is she wearing a cross necklace or is it something else?

Wish there were better pictures of Meghan’s Chanel handbag, I love the shade of blue!

DevonUkelele · 08/06/2019 13:43

Kate looks v cold - her hands are purple! Agree with a PP, George and Louis are all Middleton, Charlotte very William (Spencer)

escapade1234 · 08/06/2019 13:47

Kate looks gorgeous in yellow, I love it! Those children are just very sweet, they make a lovely family group.

Meghan? I don’t want to be unkind given she’s a month post-partum. I wouldn’t have fancied being on show at that stage. However, the dark, drab navy is completely wrong for this event. I don’t think it suits her at all and she just looks like she wants to hide away and not be seen. Which is probably true. But the navy is just awful.

RhubarbIsEvil · 08/06/2019 13:50

Camilla is thinking “😷 someone needs a nappy change’

Poor Kate, I hope she is wearing thermals.

Daisypie · 08/06/2019 13:51

I would have given it a miss if I was Meghan.
