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

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread, previous rules apply!

If W and H don't make it up and come to an agreement I could see the Sussexs being frozen out and sidelined in the future.

Remember it's HM making the decisions atm and after that the PoW. It could be quite a long time before W gets a say. Hopefully by then he will be thinking with his monarch's head and not his pissed off elder brother's.

Are there only car shots? I need an outfit injection.

just 50,000 acres Yes only found that out yesterday. Absolutely astonishing.

Apologies banivani.
I must have missed that.

The Queen seems to show her favouritism by who gets to ride in the car with her. Everyone looks really relaxed and happy.

People say that....

But it was Andrew then Edward, then William and Kate and next week it’ll be someone else. Sounds like turns to me...

This photo is from the state banquet from 2017, for the Spanish King & Queen. ( I spotted it on the Berkshire to Buckingham blog the other day)
Look who is directly behind Kate and chatting to Harry.

Given Rose Hanbury’s relegation at the Trump banquet this year, makes me think sadly there is truth in the rumours, and would explain the distance between Harry and William.

However, as I said up thread ; the direct line of succession is always protected, so the William Kate Rose story has been shut down with lots of Cambridge family friendly pr and throwing shade at the Sussexes.

For those of you who don’t mind some throwback frocks, this Instagram feed has arranged the European royal ladies like pantones!

I think you’re right curly but I do think the affair was before Louis and that W has promised Kate the earth. And given her a bigger clothes allowance, hence the D&G and Gucci.

What happened to those rumours that Rose was pregnant?

I wish ‘someone in the know’ would come on these threads and give us some inside info. I find it really hard to believe William cheated. However I did notice how miserable Kate looked for quite some while at one point.

Is there a better picture of Camilla’s hat? It looked very odd......

I feel boiling hot just looking at Kate in that coat! I know they dress up for church but surely one of her lighter outfits like she’s worn at Trooping the Colour would have been better?

DOC and HM going to church.

Can't imagine why Kate wore that outfit today - maybe her luggage has gone astray?! 🤔

I imagine DoC knows from past experience just how cold the church will feel inside. And the AC in the car will be working overtime. It's the walk to and from that's going to be uncomfortable.

And such a dark colour for a beautiful summers day.

Camilla seems to be wearing a beret style hat.

It looks as though everyone has dressed dark with the exception of HM.

I guess DoC packed her case in advance of the weather forecast & has been caught out by the unseasonably warm weather.

But she could have left her coat off at least?

Esp if the dress is the one on the DM link....it’s lovely! Maybe I’m just too hot...

Kate is clearly somebody who feels the cold. I have a colleague like this. Thermal vest anything up to 20 degrees, thermal layers if the temp drops below about 14. She's worn things like this before when you'd think it was too hot. She wore the Erdem green wool coat dress to a summer event a couple of years ago.

Just for the record I've never seen photos of her looking actively unhappy. Stressed yes - Pippas wedding is one. A bit insecure - most of the post baby appearances come to mind when she clearly wasn't at one with her shape. But not unhappy with William.

Maybe she was planning to have luggage brought up separately but didn’t dare what with all the climate/waste PR nightmare going on 🤣

Anyone know what the temperature actually so today in Balmoral? It’s baking here but surely less there?

It's 22/23 degrees at the moment & has been most of the day.
