:goes into dreamy reverie about Pippas lush life of endless privilege and help and free time:

Horsemad · 13/07/2019 18:10

I wouldn't mind Pippa's life, bar being papped all the time. 🙄

Bellasblankexpression · 13/07/2019 18:34

Agreed, envious of Pippa. She always looks so very happy as well!
Not a lover of either of the duchesses outfits today but they still look great.

Hands up if we think Piers Morgan has imploded? Stroke of genius having Pippa there. What a way to put the rumours to bed - thankfully.

BertrandRussell · 13/07/2019 19:11

“I wouldn't mind Pippa's life, bar being papped all the time.”

But she isn’t, really, is she? None of them are. How often do we see pictures of them in their private capacity? Practically never.

PCohle · 13/07/2019 19:17

You do if you buy the French papers Grin

StCharlotte · 13/07/2019 19:19

Not sure if it's been said but Duke of York is presenting the cricket World Cup tomorrow.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/07/2019 19:39

Aha, unable to get further traction from the "feuding Duchesses" story, the Mail has gone with a different tactic - criticising Meghan for clapping more enthusiastically for Serena! I'd say who actually falls for this shite but plenty of people do!

I know, that’s the really scary thing...as I’ve said before, there are some odd people in the world.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/07/2019 19:46

@Ninkaninus I find it extraordinary that people fall for it. And then those who are willing to believe anything bad that's printed about Meghan are the same people who say the rumours about Prince William having an affair couldn't possibly be true. Both stories come from the same sources!

And she’s probably still only a size 12.
Being short waisted, and having a few extra baby pounds just shows more

I have to say I think it’s great to see Meghan look like most of the women I know look when they have a young baby. It normalizes her. I actually find it incredibly sad to see celebrity women rush to look like they never had a baby.

Meghan looked lovely at Wimbledon. Kate, to be, looks too thin. Out of the three women, Pippa certainly won the best overall wealthy husband and life award!

Horsemad · 13/07/2019 19:48

Hahaha, I wonder if people were always this weird, or is it to do with SM? 😆

BertrandRussell · 13/07/2019 20:02

They’ve always been this weird.

itswinetime · 13/07/2019 20:07

Meghan is being criticised for clapping now! Tell me that's a joke I feel like I'm in the twilight zone!

Bellasblankexpression · 13/07/2019 20:15

Jesus H Christ. Clapping?! You know some editor was having some kind of 'The Thick of It' style sweat and shouting 'WELL WE NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING?"
and some junior reporter suggested meekly 'she does seem to be clapping rather enthusiastically..."
Editor "Clapping? CLAPPING? Okay, let's go with the clapping. Compare it to Kate's ladylike, balanced, non biased clapping as much as possible. And also squeeze in that she's carrying some extra weight but use the 'glowing' and 'curvy' code."

It's utterly ridiculous.

UrsulaPandress · 13/07/2019 20:26

I’m sure I saw Kate jumping about in her seat. Hussy.

shedid · 13/07/2019 20:29

Good grief. Another Meghan thread in AIBU...as to whether she is pregnant again already due to her weight 🙄

lboogy · 13/07/2019 20:30

It weird I usher to think MM and Pippa looked alike but when you see them together they don't looks alike at all.

I hated all the outfits today. Meg's one was especially unflattering for her body. Pippa always gets it wrong as far as I'm concerned. Kate's dress was nice but she's too thin imo

lboogy · 13/07/2019 20:40

*used to think

motheroftinydragons · 13/07/2019 20:43

Not blown away with any of the outfits. They looked fine. Meh. Kate's hair is lovely and Meghan is glowing. Her skin is just gorgeous.

I had a baby ten months ago who is a rapid crawler/stander/into bloody everything and have an energetic preschooler. I'm a sahm. There's obviously something wrong with me because my (fat!) bottom rarely touches a seat these days and no way do I look like Kate. I bloody wish. I'd kill to look like Meghan does just a few short weeks after having a baby.

Looking forward to the frocks tomorrow! Then I expect it'll be quiet for royal watching over the summer. I wonder where they all go for their holidays? No Center Parcs for them that's for sure Grin

ajandjjmum · 13/07/2019 20:53

Looking at the photographs of the three women standing, you can see that Kate and Pippa are equally slim - obviously have the same genetic make-up. Lucky things! Although I'm sure there's a lot of hard work and will power goes in to it also.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/07/2019 21:03

The Cambridges will probably head off to Mustique

It’s not all Norfolk beaches for them

SlipperOrchid · 13/07/2019 21:06

Although I'm sure there's a lot of hard work and will power goes in to it also.

I’m sure I read Carole, Kate and Pippa use the Durkan diet. Pippa also trains for her running. I’d bet money Kate has a PT. That said they certainly don’t scoff crisps and chocolate (unlike me). They must have wills of steel to be disciplined enough to diet so steadfastly. IMO Kate has taken it too far.

Quintella · 13/07/2019 21:10

Meghan - she looks great, the outfit didn't, not fat, scraped back hair not as flattering as the loose tendril look she normally goes for

Kate - dress is meh, looks like static-y shock giving polyester, wrong colour for a summer's day.

Pippa - I never like her clothes and do not fancy her husband in the slightest so don't envy her lifestyle particularly!
