Royal style & gossip: the gowns and glamour of the Garter

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Now that the Orange One has gone, it's almost time for a visit from the Oranje One! Yes, Queen Max will be attending next Monday's Garter ceremony. It'll be a triplicate fashion face-off between her, Letizia and Kate - who will emerge victorious?

Young Edward has a look of Harry in that photo, and I've never before thought they looked anything alike.

Very sweet pictures!

I hope the Sussexes do as the Cambridges did, and have a photographer to take some extra shots at the christening. Those shots of Kate and Louis are beautiful - it would be lovely to have some similar ones of Meghan and Archie.

These partial non-identifiable pics are a bit strange! I wonder what the reasoning is?

Archie is so cute 😍

I remember when Julian Lloyd Webber was quite good looking. I am older than I thought!

Bertrand - it's his hair - every time I see him I think get a decent haircut man ffs!

Are we sure it's Archie ? I don't have SM accounts so not really familiar with how they work .

Yes, it’s on their official Instagram page, wishing Harry a Happy Father’s Day.

Wow, I’m liking how you can tag someone so much easier now!

Wonder who took the pic? Do H and M do a bit of photography?

Harry does I think. Some of his pictures have featured on their instagram if I remember correctly.

Thanks ! Am I showing how out of touch I am ?

Oh well ,I've got MN !

Is Archie in a witness protection programme?
He has pretty eyes; but we would like to see what he actually looks like!

Funny how this kind of fussy hat looks great on Kate but awful on CP Mary. Perhaps it’s the weird beige colour...

The Where's Archie? photographs are starting to wear thin already. I think H&M are mistaking themselves for celebs rather than Royalty.

Were there any pre
Christening pictures of the Cambridge children?

I think Mary's worn that hat before and it looked fantastic - maybe to Ascot?? I think it's that it doesn't go with the rest of her red outfit.

In Harry and Meghans defence we saw the 3 Cambridge children on the steps leaving hospital then at the christening then at whatever set occasion came next. We didn't see much of them as babies at all.

With CPM and the hat, I think the problem is that the dress - though lovely - is a bit too casual for such an elaborate hat, which I think would be better suited to a more formal dress.

That's not a photo of Archie. It's a photo of a man's hand wearing a wedding ring with a baby in the background. The hand may or may not belong to Harry. The baby may or may not be Archie.

The hat doesn't go with the dress I agree I think that is the problem.

What's the betting we get an Archie pic for Father's Day? Maybe his hands. Then an ear...

Don't ask me how I do it, it's a gift...

Why do I hold so much crap in my memory. She did wear it at Ascot

With an Orange dress. It does look better!

And to be fair to H&M again, anyone on Mumsnet saying that they didn’t want to make pictures of their tiny baby public would get loads of people agreeing. Imagine the reaction if Meghan’s grandmother in law had put pictures on her Facebook page
