Royal style: it's leather skirt season!

Royal style: we want more salwars and we're not sari about it!

Philip and Sofia are actually fairly closely related: first cousins once removed. It's too early in the morning for me to work out the others (east coast US). Maybe after my second cup of coffee.

Lots of good stuff on Rebecca English's Twitter ATM.

H and M there - is it Remebrance Day already?

Kate and Camilla seem to be missing due to heavy colds.

Rebecca seems to have a super name for a British royals reporter 🤔

*Remembrance (ouch)

Yesterday Harry and Meghan did a surprise visit to a Windsor coffee morning for military families... there is a video on their instagram.

Kate and William were meeting Grenfell and terror victims. Nothing to write home about but appropriate. In the pics in the DM Kate does look like she may have been unwell, a bit puffy and tired looking.

I think Kate is one of those women (I am too) who's face transforms when she smiles.

I'm not sure I like the Queen's ruby tiara, it looks like a plate of jam tarts!

I think the navy looks lovely on MM and the hat too, but I think the texture on the coat is a touch casual, it looks a bit of an afterthought.

Meghans make up and hair look stunning today but I really dislike the way she belts her coats - makes them look really messy. Like the navy blue though.

Dressing gown 😃

I think Meghan's wearing a bit more makeup than usual, but it looks great, not as much highlighter and heavier on the eye and lipliner. I think she might be pregnant again.

Yes, dressing gown!

That coat certainly makes it look that way but I always think that because she belts so high up.

Meghan’s coat is wierd. And Kate’s dress is 3 inches too short. I have spoken.

Kate looks very 'standard Kate' today, usual type of dress and nice bouncy hair, but perhaps a bit under the weather. Meghan has great hair and make-up but the coat doesn't sit right with the belt and looks a bit bundled up.

I was thinking more of her face, although there is a hint of bump in that coat for sure,

I'm not keen on Meg's look, though I do like the navy blue. I think the way the belt is fastened alters the line of the coat, so it doesn't hang well, however trendy that belt knot is.

I don't think the long wafty hair style goes with the neat little hat at all, the hat would look better if her hair was coiled at the back of her head.

I really wanted to like Meghan's outfit but I don't like the fabric or the belt - it looks thrown together. Might be a bit dull but a long, black, wool coat would have looked better today. And the hat is an odd cross between a hat and one of Kate's headbands.

Hair and makeup lovely as always though.

Saying that, I would hate these very formal occasions - I'd be terrified of tripping up, dropping something, smiling at the wrong time or generally making a mistake with regards to etiquette. And all with the world's press watching.

Meghan is wearing so many wrong things at once .
Harry’s uniform looks too baggy no?
Kate is Kate, safe, but I agree a bit too short.

I love the hat. But the coat is too bulky to be belted like that and as a pp said makes it hang wrong.

Kate is standard Kate.

That coat looks like something I'd wear, and I'm a style free zone. The belt looks wrong too.

Is it warm in the South? Why is Kate not wearing a coat? She has so many. It's pissing down here in the North West.

Beautiful day in London today - chilly though.

Megan’s coat is dreadful. It definitely looks an afterthought and the belt is terrible.

Meghan's face is gorgeous and her extensions are amazing. I even like the little navy hat - a nice but appropriate switch from the usual deathly dull black at these events.

It all goes downhill from there. 😂

Waves to Ursula from Lancashire. It is grim today, I've even got the "big lights" on. ☹

I like Meghan’s outfit. In RL, you’d have to be pretty slim to wear a belted wool coat. I like the texture.

I presume the wobbly man is representing a Camilla. Interesting how the precedence thing works when Charles isn’t present.
