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

That's it! I think she's worn it a couple times since then too. The dress I saw today was another brand, not LKB, but you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference!

Why does Charlene stay I wonder? The whole thing is very weird.
I think the RF have to be very careful who they are seen with and what their affiliations are. Apart from Randy Andy of course who seems to have a free pass..
M seems to be courting US celebrities and media types as hard as she can. Oprah, Hilary Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres , the Clooneys etc. I think she definitely sees herself as a big player in the US once she’s extricated herself from her current situation. Of course that’s speculation but that’s my own feeling. Harry will hate it , I think. But who knows?

Inniu
I realise it's a very different situation.
I'm just wondering what A's angle will be.
"Never complain never explain" policy has obviously been discarded.

Charlenes children are only five. She's presumably stuck there for another 15 years.

bohemia14 · 15/11/2019 19:19

I wish we could stick to fashion.... that's why I love this thread 😀

SunsetBoulevard3 · 15/11/2019 19:24

Why can’t Charlene divorce and get custody?

QueenOfTheAndals · 15/11/2019 19:35

@beanaseireann Except in this case I think he should bloody well explain! Preferably to the police.

Charlene would not be able to take the kids out of Monaco. It was in Grace's marriage contract, I assume it's in Charlene's too.

I think she loves being a princess. And being married to a billionaire. She knew what the score was. And I say that in sister solidarity.

Yes, it looks like the LK Bennett Lasa poppy print dress. You could 'replikate' @QueenOfTheAndals 😂

@SunsetBoulevard3 probably the same reason that Diana couldn’t take William and Harry to live abroad. The children “belong” to the monarch and therefore can’t be removed from their respective country permanently. I don’t know if this is right but I know I’ve read it somewhere.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 15/11/2019 19:46

Awful for her. She tried to run away before the wedding didn't she? It's like her husband has some sort of hold on her.

beanaseireann · 15/11/2019 19:52

QueenoftheAndals
I totally agree.

Wetdogloveshubert · 15/11/2019 20:25

I really like the striking colour of this suit, but the heaviness of the fabric in this style is jarring. It doesn't seem light enough, odd though that may sound. But I have no style Confused

And not to be unnecessarily bitchy, but that picture highlights the need for a haircut to me. K's ends look damaged.

SenecaFalls · 15/11/2019 20:35

M seems to be courting US celebrities and media types as hard as she can. Oprah, Hilary Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres , the Clooneys etc.

I think it has more to do with associating with people who are kind to her and think well of her as an antidote to the toxicity in some quarters in the UK.

queenofarles · 15/11/2019 20:37

Oscar de la renta usually uses very heavy fabrics
hence why Doc doesn’t look freezing.

Her Maj will get another chance to meet Trump when he visits in early December for the NATO Summit. There will be a reception at Buck House, so sure to be press coverage.

queenofarles · 15/11/2019 20:41

I think H&M are savvy in courting big names in the US.

queenofarles · 15/11/2019 20:46

Her Maj will get another chance to meet Trump when he visits in early December again
Perhaps that explains the Sussexes leave of absence.

Wetdogloveshubert · 15/11/2019 20:48

Nice link, @queenofarles!

I'm still baffled by the previous discussions on dark tights. Kate has black tights with the purple suit - looks ok to me but has anyone else got a view?

Wetdogloveshubert · 15/11/2019 20:50

Eugenie knows how to work a picture on Insta! Those skirts are back with a vengeance.

And Sophie is still out and about in Canada, visiting two hospitals. Nice neckline, neat accessories and tidy hair. Sophie is such a great ambassador for us.

She’s never given much media coverage though is she? It’s a great shame. She gets in with it quietly.

I like the black tights but they make her legs look very slim which isn't so good with the voluminous skirt. The colours are right but the shape and length aren't.
