Royal style & gossip: from christening gowns to tennis lawns

And I think we all can agree that it's much more fun if we stick to critiquing the clothes rather than the women!

William's expression! Is that Lady Sarah McCorquodale as godmother? Don't recognise the other. The black and white photo, of course, bleurgh, but what a gorgeous baby!

Must be nice to see pics

Ah ok yes. Nice touch for the photo.

Confirmation from a royal reporter that Archie has been christened and a quote from a royal spokesperson:

‘A spokesman said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to share the happiness of this day, and would like to thank everyone around the world for their ongoing support. They feel so fortunate to have enjoyed this special moment with family and Archie’s godparents.”

Meghan wore Dior and Kate wore Stella McCartney.

I like Kate's headband, like that she went for a shorter dress as well.
Would love to see Meghan's dress in full.

Both Diana's sisters then.

Like Kate's dress.

William's face though.

I can't believe they didn't have the children.

Thank you hope and also paradyning

Loving Kate’s pink and red, especially the headband (they’ve grown on me a lot)! Wish we could see some closer up photos to look at outfits

I really like Kate’s outfit. It’s still very proper but sort of daring for her.

What a gorgeous baby :)

Harry's suit would be okay without the black socks

William's face is going to give rise to another week of headlines.

Kate looks fab. Love less wishy-washy colours on her.

Is Meghan wearing her wedding earrings?

I don’t get the black and white thing. I feel like you just can’t see the picture properly and the garden colours as a background would’ve looked so nice.

What does Kate have curtain tassels on her dress? I like the dress length and the red stilettos - vavavoom. Doria and Camilla look good as they often do.

Looks like Archie has reddish eyebrows and hair?

Lady Jane Fellowes looks a lot like the actress Fiona Shaw in that photo. That rather threw me!

The Spencer aunts being there is a nice touch. Meghan and Kate look great, Harry seems overjoyed.

Couldn't William at least have forced a smile? Instead, he's got a face like a slapped arse that'll give the tabloids even more ammunition!

Oh my. William's face.
He really couldn't bring a smile to his face for a split second?

Aside from that, I think they all look lovely. Meghan's skirt looks like it's quite a full one and a different look for Kate as to what I've seen before.

Great outfits from MM, KM. and Camilla. I really like that colour on Kate and I think she got the look perfect for the occasion. I find very sad that the little cousins aren't there though. Harry looks terrible, the photographer should at least have made him button his jacket and sit properly ffs.

I agree, think he's red headed. As all the best people are!

I thought it was Fiona Shaw too

Kate looks quite youthful. Even with the dreaded pussybow. She looks very nice.

Meghan looks really really gorgeous.

Love Dorias look. Very luxe looking.

Camilla - meh, shapeless sack and smallish floppy hat. Compared to her usual formal glam, this was quite dressed down. I wonder if that was on purpose?

Quite dig Auntie looking like a posh detective. She just needs a fag and I can imagine her asking whether any of the servants entered the room after the body was found.

Camilla's and Meghan's dresses look very almost identical in the top.

Harry's suit, socks and shoes combo is very odd.
