Kate's poppy badge in remembrance of her Grandmother's code-breaking work cost £29:99.

What wrong with false eyelashes at a memorial event? If you go down that road, is make up inappropriate? fancy hats etc etc. So long as the eyelashes are not drag queen style I don’t see the issue.

Priti Patel (who I think is very pretty) needed to do a CoCo and lose one element of this look. Maybe the frogging over her bust.

She needed a shorter straighter skirt and a coat that wasn't a size too small. Lovely from the neck up though Grin

StCharlotte · 10/11/2019 19:43

Also Priti Patel's coat looked like it was made for an orangutan - the sleeves are so long!

BertrandRussell · 10/11/2019 19:45

It looks like she grabbed the wrong coat in the dark! But she’s so vile I don’t want her to look nice.

ElspethFlashman · 10/11/2019 19:45

That's a case where opaques were the wrong choice.

paradyning · 10/11/2019 19:47

Bad bad bad look on Priti. Lovely make up and hair.
But I agree with Betrand. I find her policies vile.
I have learned 'frogging' today. I had no idea!

EnFinale · 10/11/2019 19:49

You can see that the lower part of Kate’s hairdo was wrapped around a foam ‘sausage’ which is how it gets the volume - no fake hair.

Meghan doesn’t have eyelash extensions - you can see from yesterday’s close up photos that they are fake lashes glued on.

ColdPlayDefenceLeague · 10/11/2019 19:50

Surely Meghan borrowed the £25k earrings. I've always assumed the £67k dress in the engagement shoot was loaned to her.

EnFinale · 10/11/2019 19:50

Priti is lovely and I agree with her politics. Unfortunately her coat was far too small around the hips and far too long in the sleeves. But she’s pretty busy helping to run the country right now so I can’t blame her for not having time to go shopping.

BertrandRussell · 10/11/2019 19:52

I taught the thread aiguillette yesterday- don’r tell me you knew that already!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/11/2019 19:52

Priti Patel has no place on this thread

BertrandRussell · 10/11/2019 19:54

Agreed. Mind you- I wouldn’t mind seeing a picture of Corbyn’s wife- my dd told me that he’s “punching”. Which is my new word for rhe day....

Corbyn's wife. Apologies for daily mail link and if it doesn't work. Am not sure how to post a picture.

MotherofPearl · 10/11/2019 20:56

Agreed @CurlyWurlyTwirly

QueenOfTheAndals · 10/11/2019 20:57

There's something very weird about how the Mail refers to Sophie as the Countess of Wessex but calls Meghan and Kate by their maiden names. And "Camilla", like she's Cher!

For a moment I thought Jo Swinson was CPM!

I honestly didn't even know Corbyn was married!
Re the false eyelashes it just seems a bit tacky to me but that's my personal opinion. It seems a bit like wearing them to a funeral.

thisenglishlife · 10/11/2019 21:00

Everyone looked good, except Priti. Her clothes always wear her.

I wish they were Princess Catherine and Princess Meghan. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex sound like a couple pubs.

Three times.

Unfortunately, they will never be that because they are not blood (or born) princesses.

The best they might hope for is Princess William or Princess Henry. And I don't think anyone wants that these days!

DevonUkelele · 10/11/2019 21:22

The best they might hope for if they wanted such a title - that's what I meant!

queenofarles · 10/11/2019 21:35

Corbyon wed three times Shock

Patel’s voting record Hmm for those who want to decide if they agree or disagree with her politics.
