Do you work for the a Royal's PR team ?

That Grimaldi family portrait is an appalling photo of a group, the photographer should be shot!

Well done to H&M for opting out of the Sandringham Christmas at what has turned out to be a critical time. It's not going to be much fun down amongst the sugar beet this Christmas.

Kate hasn't set a foot wrong IMO in a very long time. Good for her if she does refuse to take the attention off PA. I love to think of her reading these threads and calling out to PW in the next room about which of his outfits were well received on here. "The crushed velvet went down well" etc etc Grin

Ok ladies, what suggestions do we have for Wills for daywear ?

( which isn’t Sloane uniform of baggy chinos and blue shirts)

MillyMollie · 23/11/2019 11:18

I'd say Princess Grace would be spinning in her grave if she saw that portrait of her Grimaldi family.

AdaColeman · 23/11/2019 11:28

Wills would look good in Charlie Casely-Hayford or perhaps Raf Simons.

MamehaSan · 23/11/2019 11:46

@beanaseireann haha, I'm about as far removed from royal circles as it's possible to get Grin

AspergersMum · 23/11/2019 11:48

I think William looked quite dashing in his cowboy getup at the Calgary Stampede. I'm not clever enough to add a photo but the greeny type cowboy shirt, darkish bluejeans and cowboy hat really suited him. It would take a brave man to pull it off in the UK mind. Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 23/11/2019 11:48

Why @MillyMollie?

Just wondering that if Andrew n Fergie were to remarry now, would the HRH title be reinstated?

It would unless the Queen took action to deny Fergie the HRH. The general rule is that the wife takes the title and style of her husband automatically. In the Duchess of Windsor's case, the King issued letters patent specifically denying her the HRH.

QueenOfTheAndals · 23/11/2019 12:22

I think the chances of a remarriage have taken a considerable fall!

Can anyone see ( my own personal favourite) HH in William? I know they are distant cousins ac few times over but iv think they look similar sometimes.

alliwantisagoodnightssleep · 23/11/2019 16:05

@JaimeBronde call me shallow but William looks quite attractive and manly in that picture. I think it’s because I can’t see his lack of hair!

AppleKatie · 23/11/2019 16:23

I’ll be shallow with you he looks weirdly hot in that picture 😂

QueenOfTheAndals · 23/11/2019 16:28

Doesn't really do it for me. I think a Stetson has to look a bit more lived in rather than be pristine white!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 23/11/2019 17:36

I'm not keen on the mom Jeans. William has a good bod

QueenoftheAndals
Because Stephanie went off the rails and pitched up with, had children with, and separated from various unsuitable for Royalty partners.
Caroline and suitable for Royaltybutawful Prince Ernest,
Her son Albert and his various out of wedlock children, odd wedding and unhappy looking wife.
Oh how different it promised to be when she wed her prince in that fairytale fifties wedding.
What's that they say of Monaco ?
A sunny spot for some shady people.

QueenOfTheAndals · 23/11/2019 19:58

Grace was hardly an angel! Her own family were on the shady side and she herself had affairs with her married costars when acting. And apparently she and Rainier weren't faithful to each other either. So you could say the children are a chip off the old block! Still, they all seem reasonably happy now.

AspergersMum · 23/11/2019 21:46

@JaimeBronde He should 100% dress like that everyday. Also he should wear hats more often, preferably cowboy hats. Two thumbs up

MotherofPearl · 24/11/2019 21:04

Gosh, it's quiet on here! Grin

I'll break the silence with this unremarkable but I think quite flattering dress from CPV. Quite Kate-esque in style.

BeatriceTheBeast · 24/11/2019 21:38

Oh yes, I quite like that on her! That style with the little tie bit seems to be in the shops a lot at the moment. I saw a beautiful, burgundy one in Oliver Bonas last week.
