Royal style: Cambridges appear but Sussexes aren't near

[QueenOfTheAndals]

In light of the several upcoming engagements for W&K while H&M allegedly take a 6 week break!

Previous thread

I can't see that happening, but if it does then I don't think it's a big deal. Didn't W&K spend George's first Christmas with the Middletons? I'm sure it's more fun than Sandringham - I bet Carole goes all out!

Yeah W&K have spent Christmas at her parents and have had her parents to their house so Meghan spending it with her mum wouldn't be that unusual. Although would fuel the rift rumours. Wasn't there loads of speculation last year her mum would be at Sandringham?

I wonder about Sophie's parents - when do they get a look in??

I think in the past Sophie's father has joined the royal family at Sandringham. Her mother is no longer alive.

Today would have have been Princess Grace's 90th birthday. My favourite fairytale princess.

Checking in- I’ve gone quiet but I’m still reading. Thanks Queen 😃

That’s a lovely photo @frugalkitty.
Another princess who died too young

When did the Queen stop wearing a riding hat?
Actually I’ll answer my own question; probably since she adopted that helmet Luke hairstyle...

Young Princess Anne has the same facial structure as Prince William, from a certain angle the resemblance is astonishing

The Queen has never worn a riding hat. Very annoying for the horsy amongst us.

I thought they were house hunting in the states so it would be sensible to spend some time there

New thread, thank you!

I agree with @BertrandRussell re the Queen and wearing a riding hat.

House hunting according to who though?

The comment earlier about The Times being more reliable - normally I'd agree. But their royal reporter very clearly has an axe to grind. Her pieces are filled with speculation and she loves to allude to things.

The truth is, in the old days, we assumed a "royal source" was reliable. But I no longer believe that. I think they'll take a chat with a biographer or the woman who cleans the silver and consider that a good source.

That pic of Princess Grace is stunning!

Kate is out in a grey blazer and berry trousers today, I'm waiting to go into the dentist so haven't got time to post the pics, sorry!

It is absolute nonsense to suggest that MM and PH shouldn’t see Doria for Christmas. W&K have spent previous years with her family.

Not keen on Kate's outfit. I think it's the shoes, for me they are the wrong height for the trouser length.

Can we also discuss that Kate is walking in front of William and not behind!

Kate's top half and bottom half don't match today. I'm not sure why she keeps wearing trousers that appear to be slightly too short with bare (or nude tights) feet which make the trousers look even shorter?!

Gorgeous hair as always though!

And is there any particular reason why they shouldn’t buy a house in America? If I were them, I’d buy a nice house and install Doria in it, so Archie and any subsequent children can go and stay and have the experience of being American children some of the year.

I love Kate's outfit today. She looks great, beautiful colours. She also looks glowing - I thought she looked a bit tired in her last few appearances.

Incidentally- someone said some thing very significant on the last thread- that the RF are untested in animal conservation, not animal welfare. Which is probably the right way to be, on a global perspective. Doesn’t mean you should over ride your polo ponies though.

Interested, not untested.

Kate today.
