Royal style: it's leather skirt season!

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

I think Meghan has got prettier.
She loves a belt.
Kate looks very "drawn" in that photo today.

I do hope the two Duchesses don't mess with their faces too much and end up looking like many celebrities with funny strange puffed out lips and cheeks.
They don't know when to stop.

A nice little article arbour royal hats and controversies in The Guardian today

They will both have procedures done. I mean, they already do. Teeth, Kate has Botox, hair extensions, eyelash extensions clearly visible on Meghan today......When they get to their mid 40s, all bets will be off, Kate in particular.

I adore black and navy together and think Meghan looks fabulous from the neck up but the outfit itself just missed the mark a little bit for me. Neater boots and a neater, more tailored coat would look so much better than a hoicked in teddy bear coat and rumpled new look boots.

Meghan looks beautiful, but the coat and boots aren't right - her legs are too skinny for slouchy leather. Kate just looks like her normal self but she's forgotten her coat. Looks a bit bizarre I think. That blue isn't the best shade on her, it's a bit short and she definitely looks cold!

Agree not keen on what Meghan is wearing - the coat is just wrong. Kate - hmm not sure.

I would like to take a moment to celebrate the fact the Kate has a slash necked dress on today instead of her awful usual high round necked ones, and about time to! I like the blue but agree it seems a bit odd without a coat.

Meghan's hat is gorgeous, I love it and love it on her, it's exactly the right shade of navy for her. Boots are a definite no, and I quite like the coat, I like the colour and the texture, but not with that belt, for me it just doesn't look right.

Something about Kate in this photo vaguely reminds me of Diana. And this one is just calling out for a caption competition!

Kate is saying,

"What? Charles is going to copy King Rama X's coronation ceremony?"

I wish Kate had her hair up or back - the neckline of that dress is actually really good imo but it’s lost under the hair curtain.

Love Meg’s hat, the rest not so much.

Meghan looks beautiful and I love the hat, she looks fab in navy. The coat is horrendous! Horrid material/shape made even worse with the belt.

Kate's hair looks fab but her dress is dull. I'm also surprised she's not cold!

The Queen looks amazing in amytheist

I think Meghan is wearing straight up false eyelashes. They look really fluffy, like Demi Wispies.

Kate was only outside for what? 5 minutes? Easy to do no coat and bare legs for that short amount of time!

In total agreement that Meg looks utterly gorgeous from the neck up.

Her coat and boots seem to swamp her a bit and yes the texture of the coat is weird. At least she looks warm though

I have fallen behind on here - again! - but just seen that Kate's in a new Emilia Wickstead today and wanting to know @BertrandRussell's reaction, knowing how much of a Wickstead fan she is!

Meghan's make up looks great. The hair looks good but she's obviously had a lot of extensions put in and it doesn't look particularly natural.
The coat and boots are a disaster. She is obsessed with slouchy boots and belted coats, neither of which suit her. Her hat looked great though.

Kate didn't look well and looks even thinner, if that were possible. It doesn't suit her.

Camilla looks under the weather in the BBC photos of her at the west London farmers' market on Wednesday.

I think Meghan's been wearing a wig since she got back from SA, it's not great and her false eyelashes/ extensions were a bit ott today too, more suited to an evening event.

Thanks for your description of the BP event @PiedImperial - I enjoyed reading that!

My caption fir the competition is
" What ! You mean I'll actually be Queen someday ?"

I think she's wearing nude 7 denier tights.

Kate has this dress in other colours. I like it but not the line down the middle or the belt. Her shoes look like quite flimsy and plasticy rather than luxe patent leather.

I think Meghan's coat looks fine in person, I don't mind the texture. She's looking very film star glamorous today. I'm not a fan of slouchy boots - she has long, very slim legs and big feet - hard to find boots that fit body type.

Yes I thought Kate's dress might be Wickstead. Sophie is a fan too but she's nearly 20 years older than Kate!

Meghan looks so young today.

Meghan's beautiful, by the way (in response to previous comments).

Glad Meghan didn’t wear the original belt.
It would have looked fine if the Coat fitted her properly; which it probably did back in 2015.
She’s trying to rewear things from her wardrobe, but she has no one to give her outfit the critical once over.
