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!

Having another look, I think this is one my favourite Kate looks ever.

Doris has nailed it too, she's got such class and a sense of fashion.

Forgot to mention Doria - also looking fab! Diana's sisters... nice that they are there, but from a fashion point of view they haven't really nailed it for me.

That is a very cute baby. Takes after his mother thank god. Never thought Harry was that beautiful, tbh. But the baby definitely has her eyes and her mouth. Lovely.

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.

I was just thinking that the photo has an air of a Poirot denouement scene about it! All the posh suspects gathered in the drawing room for the big reveal

Lovely photos I glad Diana's sisters are there. They are very different style wise.
What a shame Diana's not there.
Didn't Sarah Spencer Mc Corquodale go out with Charles before Diana did.
Archie's cute.
Meghan and Harry look so happy.
Kate's dress is short ( for her)
I don't like the headband.
William has an imperious look on his face.

I think Kate looks lovely - much younger and fresher than her usual frumpy looks. A shorter skirt makes all the difference.

So I wonder who was in the car with William? Some woman in blue in a V neck.

Cute baby!

Kate looks great, I love the pink & red, dress is a bit shorter than usual which is quite snazzy (on the DoCam scale of course).

Can’t tell much about MM’s it looks a bit tight (black & white photo) but she looks very pretty as usual.

No sign of Earl Spencer. But still, including Diana's sisters in the photos is more than William did!

Maybe Lady Jane and Princess Anne could open a ladies' detective agency together?

He does appear to be a very cute baby but those Windsor genes are persistent and may strike at any time. One minute William looked like a member of a very posh boy band and then suddenly.... Bam!....the Windsor genes hit.

Brown shoes, black socks, grey suit is quick funny!

Yes she did @beanaseireann, one of the many odd things about Charles and Diana's courtship.

I think the Spencer aunts being included may have been a case of bulking the photos out as much as wanting to include Diana's family.

those Windsor genes are persistent and may strike at any time

Fascinating, isn’t it? I couldn’t even describe the “look” of Windsor genes but they’re unmistakable!

I assumed the same Nogravyforyou, Kate’s family bulk out the Cambridge pictures.

To be fair to William, on the blown up version of the photo on the Mail page he doesn't seem that miserable. He's doing one of those closed mouth smile thingies. It may well have been take 20 before they got to this one.

They really are, Haworthia!

Can someone with better eyesight than me confirm if Harry is wearing what appear to be friendship bracelets?

Baby Archie is lovely; he seems to have his mum's eyes but dad's hair.

So nice to see a colour picture of him.

I missed the last thread about godparents - do we know who they are?

I love Kate's outfit and Meghan looks lovely. It's a strange photo though; it doesn't look very joyful but not formal either.

The baby is gorgeous and it's lovely to see a picture of him. He looks older than 2 months though (am not speculating that he is). Chubby little boy. Cute.

That really shouldn't/ can't be the best shot they got of William though.

Harry looks as though he got dressed in the dark!

No we don't know and its under the Official Secrets Act so we'll never know.

Still so bizarre.

Gorgeous baby, gorgeous Meghan and Kate. Harry's suit & William's face 😲

I hope we somehow get some proper pictures of Kate's dress
