Royal style: it's leather skirt season!

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

@BertrandRussell "like a character in a period drama" yes spot on.

I’d love to know what Kate and Meghan’s bottom halves looked like.

I think Meghan is either lucky or put lots of practice in to looking lovely while her face is in repose. Most people don’t.

I would just like to say that I would like to see Kate in something which isn't so fitted .Something which doesn't always show off her tiny waist .

And ,for heavens sake ,men have it so much easier when it comes to clothing for events like this ,couldn't this pair have polished their shoes ? And had their trousers tailored to a better length ?

Bertrand I’m thinking now of a Morecombe and Wise sketch about the 70’s newsreaders

TSSDNCOP I suspect Meghan’s would be jeans and Kate’s gym kit!

Doesn't the Queen always get it right sartorially, particularly in recent decades and when she was young. There were middle decades where her style wasn't great.
I think Angela Kelly and Stuart Parvin should take a bow.
Megan looks, as always so pretty.
I know you all rave about Kate's "up dos" but I'm not always a fan. Sometimes they are a little severe on her.

I thought Sophie looked great last night with her hair down.
I'd say Boris wasnt too happy with being seated beside Andrew - I know there was a divider between them but it's not the best image during election time.

Boris and Corbyn look a right state.

I liked the shape of Meg's hat (it's not a Fedora) but I thought the brim was too deep, and swamped her small face. I'm pleased that she wore her hair up, long floppy hair wouldn't have worked at all.

I liked Kate's Tolstoy look, she's got a couple of outfits with that style of frogging, so she must like it, and I think she looks lovely in it. I liked her hat with the veil... who can resist a veil?

I loved Camilla's hat, those curved feathers reminded me of her gold wedding hat. I hope she's tucked up in bed now with a hot whiskey!

@peridito at least Jerry isn't wearing an anorak!

I think Kate's updo is stunning. Like everyone's outfits.

There were middle decades where her style wasn't great

A good portion of those middle years were the 1980s, which was not a good style decade for many of us.

According to the Daily Fail Meghan’s earrings from last night cost over £25,000. That has to be a typo hasn’t it?

Kate is saying “It’s alright, Boris has left the Cenautaph. You can open your eyes now.”

Poor HM looks frail and emotional. Love Kate's hair. I do think she's looking very gaunt and not too well. I'm not a fan of her outfits these days - too severe and they age her.

@alliwantisagoodnightssleep

I thought the same thing!

I do love Kete's coat and hat today though!! I find it a bit odd Meghan is wearing false eyelashes at a memorial event.

I disagree that Kate looks “gaunt”. If you think she looks gaunt, you are in for a shock when you see what gaunt really looks like.

Meghans’s false lashes are a step too much in the make up stakes.

The Queen might have been scratching her eye. She was not necessarily tearful.

I really like Kate's hair in that twisted 'up do'. I wish I had a hairdresser who could pop round each morning and do mine.

I particularly like Kate's poppy broach - apparently it's specifically to recognise the code breakers.

Seneca I was thinking the1970's too - i've seen photos and she looked very frumpy for her age.
Rhubarbisevil brilliant.

"The Queen moght have been scratching her eye. She was not necessarily tearful."

I agree tinyteece01

Another to say I think Meghan is very pretty, with gorgeous skin and eyes, but I wouldn't say she was a classic beauty.

Eye of the beholder and all that.

Agree re Kate's hair, gorgeous, and loved the coat.

Of the next generation, I suspect George will be the stunner.

I though the Queen looked emotional, she must have known many people who died in WWII.

HMQ looked tiny didn't she. What a shock it will be when she dies.

Jessica McCormack does a similar diamond version that costs £25,700. I'm not sure the DM have correctly identified these and anyway they are rubies. Lazy journalism.
