Don’t like the duchesses outfits particularly. Think the HM looks fab.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/11/2019 21:07

Meghan's dress looks like something Maria or Liesl Von Trapp would've worn but her makeup is as flawless as ever. Kate looks very Kate and her hair looks extra bouncy.

Quite solemn and restrained though @QueenOfTheAndals, and none of the other royal women are wearing low necklines. But mea culpa if I have the terminology incorrect.

EnFinale · 09/11/2019 21:19

@AdaColeman because the hair the other day wasn’t real.

Birgitte's red top is lovely

Camilla looks older than the queen tonight, she must have been really poorly. I think Camilla lost her poppy.

Meghan and Kate are glowing this evening. I like both their outfits.

RuggyPeg · 09/11/2019 21:32

Almost certainly pregnant.....

N0tfinished · 09/11/2019 21:51

I think I read somewhere that the number of poppies is relative to the number of your relatives that were lost in the war? Don't think it's just a whimsical decision- by royals anyway.

frugalkitty · 09/11/2019 21:54

I really like Kate's dress....another slash neck, brownie points from me ma'am! Headband....no, nope, never. Tights....probably look better without the flash photography as someone else has mentioned already.

Meghan's dress....it's a no from me. She's too short waisted for the belt so that plus the fabric makes it look bulky on her. Wouldn't surprise me if she's pregnant again, it would be some nice news. Hair and make up look lovely.

frugalkitty · 09/11/2019 21:55

justasking I'm surprised Camilla is there after the chest infection she's had. I get one every winter and it knocks me out for three weeks every time. I bet she'd rather be at home in her pjs!

RomaineCalm · 09/11/2019 22:11

I quite like Meghan's dress although I suspect that the photos makes her look bulkier than she really is. According to the DM it's Erdem.

Kate looks lovely and I like the wide neck of her dress but not the headband (apparently Zara).

I bet she'd rather be at home in her pjs!

This is a nice picture of PC and Camilla - I always get the impression that they do enjoy each other's company although I'm fairly sure that a lot of the RF would rather be at home in their pjs watching Strictly.

I’m surprised so many here like Meghan’s outfit. I think she looks awful; the cut doesn’t suit her, it doesn’t fit, it’s not right for the occasion and she’s clearly pregnant again and trying to show it off, which I find rather bizarre behaviour (I did at Eugenie’s wedding too).

paradyning · 09/11/2019 22:35

Cams has a poppy pin in. God forbid if she is seen without one.
And Megs has hardly got her tits out. Come on.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/11/2019 22:47

Did we see any interaction between the brothers Wales?

IfWishesWereFishes · 09/11/2019 22:47

I like MM's dress - I like that she seems to make slightly unusual or unconventional choices.

Kate looks terribly dull and Sloaney. Very Diana late 80s/early 90s.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/11/2019 22:49

Just seen that poor Meghan was stuck behind the PM. Whatever her sins, she doesn't deserve that!

MM & PH were not behind Bojo. They were in the same 'box' with the other royals. There us a divider which could be seen between Andrew & Bojo, just like the one next to Kate on the other side. The camera angle can be misleading.

StartupRepair · 09/11/2019 23:19

The Queen looks completely beautiful.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/11/2019 23:19

Very misleading!

Yes they're in the royal "bit" but second tier which is their lot I guess. K&W front row!

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 09/11/2019 23:26

I think Kate was underdressedagain. Sophie and Meghan looked pretty good, HM tip top but Camilla doesn't look at all well. Nice to see the older royals out too in their couples.

PinkSun9 · 09/11/2019 23:31

"Their lot"... oh dear. Not all the royal family members can be the heirs. The front row has 6 seats the Queen, PC, Camilla, PW & K, leaving one seat free, given to singleton Andrew. Next row 6 seats taken by E&S, PA&Tim, PH&M.
How is that demeaning for H&M??

hopeishere · 09/11/2019 23:35

I didn't say it was demeaning! I said it was their lot to be in the second row. Will and his family are the "most important" in terms of succession. Harry = Anne, Edward and Andrew.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 09/11/2019 23:51

I thought Kate looked smart, but very sloaney.
Sophie was the best dressed.
I liked Meghan’s 50s shape dress but the shiny jacquard print plus all the fabric in the skirt was not flattering.
Like all pp’s, I thought she looked pregnant too.

PinkSun9 · 09/11/2019 23:55

@ hopeishere, your comment is disparaging H&M. It is common knowledge that William has a senior role.
