And looking very elegant, riding side-saddle.

Haha, wrong pic!

I love how she appears to have matched her lippy to her uniform jacket in the last pic!

Judging by George's first day

So she'll be dressed as William then Grin

That would be interesting 😂 I guess I meant it was a bit more or relaxed look than the normal William so Kate might follow suit but yeah they could outfit swap that would be interesting too 😂😂

I think Harry needs to smarten up his look a bit, maybe get him a stylist or something. I’m no fan of William but at least he never looks scruffy.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/09/2019 19:58

HM is the epitome of glam in that last photo @Spudlet.

Harry went through a stage of looking sharper post-Meghan but has been looking quite scruffy lately. At least he's not taken to wearing a fleece yet!

I can only assume that Harry is taking recycling to heart and inheriting all his clothes from a random selection of passers by....

FaithHowellsYellowCoat · 03/09/2019 20:20

Grin if only!

banivani · 03/09/2019 20:31

Doubt DoC will look as relaxed as Mette Marit and IA on their way to first day of school - see pic (from one of the blog posts I linked to earlier)

But god it’d be fantastic.

Harry is looking increasingly dishevelled. His hair is too frizzy and I think a softer version of the buzz cut would make a huge difference.
The suit is awful. It is too light and horribly baggy for a youngish man. He could carry off a much slimmer cut - as William has done. The shoes, I actually like!

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 03/09/2019 21:29

I agree about the shoes, I like them. But not with the horrible suit.

NoTheresa · 03/09/2019 21:50

True! They look like Hush Puppies!

Leti showing some leg in a Maje dress.

Leti looking sensational here I think. The split stops the dress looking too prim.

Love the photos of HMQ with horses, especially the side-saddle one.

Sorry @QueenOfTheAndals - cross-posted!

BertrandRussell · 03/09/2019 22:34

I am a staunch Republican. But even I wold be happy for some of my money to go to a better tailor for Harry!

DevonUkelele · 03/09/2019 22:40

Didn't George's teacher fill in the LK Bennett/Reiss vacuum in Kate's absence on George's first day?

On that basis, for Thursday, I'm going for an LK Bennett or one of those endless midi tea dresses Kate has been favouring recently. But almost definitely a re-wear, yes!

Now, where do I place my money? 😂😂

DevonUkelele · 03/09/2019 22:41

Oh yeah, with wedges if a tea dress. With suede pumps if not.

DuchessDumbarton · 03/09/2019 22:49

Re Felipe and Leti: Interesting body language that she's showing there...

DuchessDumbarton · 03/09/2019 22:50

But, I love the dress Grin

Clankboing · 03/09/2019 22:54

I hope George's teacher got changed back into her normal clothes after the cameras had gone. That lovely pink dress would be wrecked with Reception class green paint and you have to do lots of bending down or crossing legs at that age!

paradyning · 03/09/2019 23:03

Leti looks amazing!
And love IA and MM in their way to school.

BeverlyGoldberg · 04/09/2019 05:08

A thinly veiled blind gossip about H&M.

I think this is probably skirting close to the truth. M seems keen to develop their 'brand'
