Every single married in Royal has gone through this run in with the press.

The married-in women have, not the men, at least certainly not with the vitriol that the women have faced.

Those Charlene pictures are well worth looking at. Thank you!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 21/10/2019 17:33

Charlene looks like she is relaxing at a Swiss Sanitarium..... Confused

Latest Crown trailer
It looks rather dark.

AppleKatie · 21/10/2019 17:59

Ohh trailer looks good!

Lunde · 21/10/2019 18:01

The Charlene pictures are ... well ... odd!

The nightshirt/dress reminds me of the official Swedish NHS nightshirt that I was issued to give birth in!

The "Midsomer Murders" picture is really dark --and looks like he is about to strangle her.

queenofarles · 21/10/2019 18:40

t's the same with kate - there's so little empathy for her as a mother because she has nannies and help

We had help all our lives, I have help now as a mother too, nanny , cleaner, I do minimal house chores. Do I find parenting hard? Absolutely , sometimes I cry, but I simply can’t compare myself with struggling families who are really finding everything from feeding their children to paying bills , mortgage etc etc. and still have to take care of their kids.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that they are not living, wether it’s W&K or H&M they have it better than most people. It’s fine to talk about such issues within your "tribe" but to a country that’s going through so much atm, they might come across as Vapid.
We now know that rift rumors are true, do they visit PC? Q? Their cousins? Having a close family is very important.

On their first interview Harry said that joining his family is like the family she never had, so they had no issues welcoming her. I simply can’t believe that the world and his wife are against them, it’s like they only read the DM comment section and base everything on these comments!

I hope they take a long break , and come back stronger,

Looks like she in an asylum in the Nightgownesque photos! The Albert one is hilarious!

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 21/10/2019 20:00

W&K had an engagement at the British High Commission in Pakistan before the Monument event! I like her dress, but I am a fan of a ditsy print and I like her in blue.

Oh, it's not a ditsy pattern. It's polka dots and I like it a bit less.

QueenOfTheAndals · 21/10/2019 20:04

Ooh that's a no from me, looks like she's popped out in her nightie or is doing some Jane Austen cosplay!

Enthronement of Naruhito of Japan tomorrow. Royals attending are Prince Charles and Camilla and ( copy & pasted)
King Felipe VI and Queen Letitia of Spain, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and his wife, Queen Maxima, as well as King Philippe of Belgium and his wife, Queen Mathilde.

peridito · 21/10/2019 20:23

Thanks for posting the links and a picture Millenium.

I think the drape of the bodice fabric is very pretty and flattering ,but not keen on the dress as a whole ,it does look a bit like a nightie .Probably completely different in the flesh!

megletthesecond · 21/10/2019 20:34

The DoC is channelling 1970's Laura Ashley. Even the photos look soft focus. I always wanted a Laura Ashley dress as a kid.

StartupRepair · 21/10/2019 20:40

Think Fred and Mary also going to Japan.

paradyning · 21/10/2019 20:42

Agree the drape of the bodice is lovely and suits her. I don't like the rest if it though.
I wondered when the enthronement was Curly. They've been rehearsing a while now. Wonder if we will have a tiara event!

BertrandRussell · 21/10/2019 20:44

Oh I do wish Kate would dress a bit more interestingly!

EdWinchester · 21/10/2019 20:48

She really is a dull safe dresser.

AdaColeman · 21/10/2019 20:52

Not keen on the Holly Hobby dress, or is it a skirt & blouse? Colour is too wishy-washy for Kate, and the whole thing just looks too floppy and droopy. Though no doubt it cost an arm and a leg, so I hope she was cool and comfortable in it.

Rhubarbisevil · 21/10/2019 21:02

Oh the 70s are back ....

I want to see Camilla and Max together sharing a joke.

GeoffreyAndBungle · 21/10/2019 21:05

Those photos of Charlene and Albert are very strange. U think Charlene took her inspiration from Beeteljuice Confused

Good grief that's an odd set of photos of Charlene and Albert! The beetlejuice comparison is far too easy.

With the enthronement I wonder if Anne will also attend as she's been out there for a while too?

I found this photo on Instagram and thought of you all. With the documentary last night this was a welcome relief - a relatively ordinary shot of a family at ease with itself?

Did William pack other clothes? Or is this his overseas uniform?

Lovely photo wetdoglovesshubert occasion?

AdaColeman · 21/10/2019 22:06

Charlene in fancy dress as an Everton Mint?

AdaColeman · 21/10/2019 22:26

Camilla isn't going to be in Japan, she has prior engagements here.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 21/10/2019 22:32

@wetdoglovesshubert

Really like that photo. When was it taken; I recognise that dress of kate’s ( is it Andrew taking the photo?)

It will be nice to see Anne & Charles together in Japan ( if she is still there)
