As always, let's critique the clothes and not the wearers.

Bea's chap doesn't look quite as enthusiastic as she does in photos of the two of them.

Agree with the Hmm comments wrt timing of the announcement and also the comments wrt the prospects for the relationship.

I love her frock though.

LenoVintura · 26/09/2019 19:01

Bertrand I mean purely in terms of looks. He's way better looking than she is.

mathanxiety · 26/09/2019 19:03

@Becles - I agree with your comments on the preposterousness of the criticism. When you see it all listed as you have done it really reveals itself for what it is.

Ivgotasecretcanyoukeepit · 26/09/2019 19:07

I disagree about him not looking as enthusiastic. In the below photograph he looks besotted.

Also didn’t his ex partners mum not say they had been broken up a while before him and Beatrice became and item.

Not to be uncharitable, but that message from Fergie reads a little as though it’s been put through Google translate confused

Yes indeed. Cringe.

JaimeBronde · 26/09/2019 19:27

Bea has known Edo for years as he is a friend of the family.
I really like her engagement ring.

JaimeBronde · 26/09/2019 19:30

I think Fergie may have been on the champagne & very excited when she wrote her insta post.

I know B&E have yet to set a date for the wedding but I can't wait to see what tiara she'll wear, that's if she decides to wear one.

NoTheresa · 26/09/2019 19:30

I find him oleaginous and shifty. I think she could do much better. There is a certain air about him which is off putting. I quite like the York princesses and feel sorry she has chosen this person.

NoTheresa · 26/09/2019 19:34

A cad? Yes, that is it exactly.
Poor Bea.

itswinetime · 26/09/2019 19:34

I had to double check it was fergie's Instagram not a fan account because it was just odd but it has the blue tick so it's definitely her!

It was the start 'As a mother I know how a mother feels'. Such an odd turn of phrase when talking about your daughter. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Google translate is great description for it!

NoTheresa · 26/09/2019 19:35

Lol.

JaimeBronde · 26/09/2019 19:36

Another tiara fix Grin

Sophie was out and about today to in what I think is a rewear. It's a good dress for her though I like the colour.

She was at a cycling event for Leeds children's of which she is patron I think

If Beatrice wears a tiara I wonder if she would wear the York tiara lots of speculation about if Eugenie would, but maybe as the eldest it has been passed to bea?

Thank you for the tiara fix 36JaimeBronde

Nice to see some for the first time.

AdaColeman · 26/09/2019 19:58

Fergie has probably spent the day searching frantically for the pawn ticket for the York tiara! Wink Wink

StCharlotte · 26/09/2019 19:58

I like the York tiara, except for that top diamond which annoys me a lot.

Wetdogloveshubert · 26/09/2019 20:00

I happen to like this blue on Kate, though the coat works better for me with hair down. The videos of the launch are fun twitter link I agree with @Oneforposy7 - with friends in the navy, these events require a serious outfit.

William looks very much a Windsor in these pictures!

Note the sign behind Harry!

Safari chic today, but out for an excellent cause.

Secrets of the Royal Dressmakers may be of interest, though it is only a Channel 5 program.

Surprised that Kate’s not got
a hat for a launching.....

“I like the York tiara, except for that top diamond which annoys me a lot.“

That really made me laugh for some reason!

Laiste · 26/09/2019 20:19

I thought W was poking K's chin in that first photo. I see nowit's just the perspective Grin

Love that tiara. I agree with pp a wedding in Italy would be a good thing. However as she is the eldest i recon it'll be another full on one here. with A poncing about

peridito · 26/09/2019 20:20

I'm sure it's intentional and not oversight/poor workmanship but I'm not keen on the missmatched pattern on the front of Bea's dress .

Call me old fashioned and all that ...
