Royal style & gossip: who's having a ball in Balmoral?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread, previous rules apply!

Yes it has been officially announced with every pregnancy In the statement! After the whole hospital prank call mess I think they decided honesty was the best policy! She also cancelled a tour of Malta and missed George's first day of school! There are easier ways to get some time off!!

Fair enough- I missed that. Awful for her.

I like her a lot.

But I will say this as someone who also had HG. Either the royal drugs/access to fluids on tap/round the clock care is significantly (and I do mean really significantly) better than what us nhs mortals get OR whilst undoubtably she has severe NVP the speed and apparent fullness of her recovery each time doesn’t present like traditional HG.

I think there is probably something in having round the clock care In whatever form that takes and support in the form of the nanny's/cleaners/chefs etc so you can just rest and possibly something in having a hair and makeup artist to help you fake it! 🤷🏻‍♀️

But wether it's the sever end of the scale or not she has cancelled tours before because of it and I don't think she would want to travel with it!

I think Kate looks much more fresh faced, pretty and youthful when pregnant.

It doesn`t matter who you are when you are that sick we are all equal. I was lucky to only have it with the first pregnancy.

I think Kate looks much more fresh faced, pretty and youthful when pregnant.

I agree. I think she currently looks plastic due to the amount of botox she has. No need for it at all.

Yes, she looks lovely when she's slightly fuller in the face. But I doubt she's pregnant unless William was so incensed by Harry's 2 kids comment that he knocked her up in revenge! Oops, the DM will probably steal that idea if she is...

If Kate is pregnant (& it’s a big if) I’d say it could be a way to deflect the heat off Prince Andrew....

I doubt that because a) it wouldn’t work and b) where would it end? If she has to have a baby every time a member of the family does something horrendous she’ll end up with 50 children...

That's a hell of a lot to ask of a woman though, surely even the royals wouldn't sink that low?!

On a slightly related note, Eugenie's IG account hasn't been updated for a few weeks. Some of the comments on it are about her father's activities, which is unfair on her but, given her stance on modern slavery, not unexpected.

This must be particularly grim for Eugenie. But she must, surely, have been expecting it?

And it might have been sensible of her not to be quite so “bestest mummy and daddy in the whole wide world”.....

unless William was so incensed by Harry's 2 kids comment that he knocked her up in revenge! bit distasteful,
you really are not letting this one go.

That was a joke...

I don''t think the 'joke' was very funny. It's nasty.

Anyway, back to fashion and here's CPV doing a bit of literal dressing at a water awards and Leti and family visiting King JC in hospital.

Delurking to say that the comment about the kids in Vogue didn't even read like a dig to me. It just sounded like the sort of thing everyone says when they're sleep deprived with a new baby and people keep asking when they're having another.

He said something about having had a child. Jane Goodall said “Not too many, I hope!” They both laughed and he said “Two, max”

Which has been spun into “a dig at William” “telling the plebs what to do” “making a song at dance about it”.......

It's nasty.

Come on. It was obviously tongue in cheek. I thought it was funny. Anyway moving on...

I think people were more at Harry Mr climate, jetting privately to three destinations while lecturing about climate change. the only time I’ve read about William holding a grudge because of the 2 kids Max joke, is actually on here,
It’s really horrible to say that he will knock up his wife who suffers terribly from severe morning sickness just to spite his brother.
If they decide they really want to have a fourth child because they want to , good for them. But saying that it’s only take the heat off A or to spite Harry, it’s just really horrible thing to say.

Kate & William flying home. Maybe they did take hand luggage only.
Kate’s in the Michael Kors dress and William, George and Charlotte are wearing the same clothes they left in.

Is Kate’s hair in an upstyle in that photo?

It seems bizarre to be so dressed up when taking a short flight. It’s like she is in a period drama ALL the time.

Even the kids are dressed up.

It’s obviously for the cameras but it seems ridiculous compared to the Spanish kids and Scandinavian kids dressing casually.

“I think people were more hmm at Harry Mr climate, jetting privately to three destinations while lecturing about climate change”
Good Lord, really? I’d never have guessed! Still hoping for examples of this “lecturing” though.....
