Royal style and gossip: photo calls and tennis balls

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Everyone ready for a joint Wimbledon Duchessing?

Imagine if Meghan had joined the lunch? She'd be accused of muscling in on Kate's territory! Also, they aren't coming from the same place anymore so why would they travel together?

“Meghan gatecrashes Patron’s Lunch”

I like Kates dress but she does look very slim, and tired

@TSSDNCOP, that is a truly great mental picture!

Kate’s hair is so gorgeous and swishy. I’d love it if she stunned us all with going for a radical chop! One of those trendy lobs. It would suit her and bring a bit of edge to her look.

I think your being to nice to the press there would have been Difficult Dutchess or pushy Meghan some sort of dig in any headline!

Now she will be in the wrong for not showing up but have not had to sit through what I think would be a fairly dull lunch 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wonder who else is there? The motorcade definitely had two separate VIPs in it (it was more like 2 motorcades, one a few minutes after the other).

And absolutely in favour of a drunken royal box Mexican wave situation come on ladies if your reading

Paradyning - I wonder how her hair doesn't go frizzy. Love to know what product she uses.

Seemingly every famous woman hires pro hairdressers for events. Kate's hair usually looks very smooth and groomed. She does have wavy/curly hair naturally though.

Would it not have been the duke of Kent?

Her natural hair looks gorgeous too.

cant believe how long serena williams has been playing for!

Kate last time she wore the dress in Canada, 2016 - styled pretty much the same.

I suspect Kate's had a keratin straightening treatment that renders it impervious to humid weather. That coupled with an on call hair dresser means lovely perfect hair. I love the dress but you do need to be that thin for it to look good. I hope she can breathe!

Well at least that proves she hasn’t lost a lot of weight recently. On the other hand if your making pro tennis players look chunky you’ve got to wonder!

I was reading in the paper today about the lack of Royal patronage for cricket. England in the final on Sunday but no royals likely to be watching. But several will show up to watch two foreigners play tennis.

Could be an opening for someone. But who?

Rubbish picture but this is all I can find of pippa in photos

Edward or Princess Anne could do the cricket I reckon. 🙂

Has Meghan been spotted yet?

first pics of Meghan!

Has Harry got a sport? William does football and rugby I think Harry could cover cricket surely?

Edward has the look of a cricket fan - give it to him! Harry has Invictus I guess.

Thanks for the Pippa photo itswinetime.

Strange about the lack of cricket royal patronage.

Is Meghan in two different shades of white?

Looks that way @Daisypie.
