Royal style: fewer new frocks, more old rocks

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Anne looks awful. Camilla , unusually looks awful too. I don't like Kate's whole look. She looks so severe these days, every vestige of youthfulness and personality wrung from her.
PC 's body language when standing near Trump just screaming 'I hate this man'.

Melania looking like there is a gun to her back as usual. She does always look like a cartoon villain!

Dreary is the right word. Clarence House included.

Perhaps they did it on purpose? All looking dreary and badly dressed?

does no one read the hand book anymore

Exactly @itswinetime - will no one think of the thread?! We are seriously deprived at the moment.

WTF was Melania thinking?

Where are people seeing the pictures?

I quite like Melania’s cape thingy! She can be seen a mile off anyway. Giving HMQ a real run for her money in those stakes anyway.

Kate appears to be having a good enough time here!

Daily Mail, Bertrand, sorry to lower the tone, but they do have the best coverage.

@BertrandRussell try the Duchess Kate blog for a Mail-free experience!

Kate has HM's epic diamond earrings in which seem at odds with her dour outfit.

I’m not sure if those are diamonds @paradyning
More likely crystal, to look a bit festive.

I think Kate wears a lot of high necks ( hence dreary) because she either doesn’t like necklaces or hasn’t got loads of jewellery.
A few strings of pearls used to be standard issue for a royal lady.

Princess Anne is trending on twitter for being awesome. I suspect The Crown has gained her a good few fans. She's been caught on camera just hangin' with the world leaders laughing at Trump at the reception. V funny.

Haha @Queen, Kate has form for Justin swooning - that pic reminded me of this meme 😁😁

I'm a long time lurker and really enjoy the fashion and discussion despite not being much of a monarchist. But I had to post to say thank you to Rhubarbisevil for cracking me up this morning with the What we do in the shadows comment!

The Kate and Justin photo (the one two photos ago) needs a caption competition lol!!

Also lolling at BAT!

Think she had these on Curly

A rare fail for HM last night... very dull colours on her. Kate - liked the colour, style boring... and enough with the fecking playing with yer hair for the love of god!!! Melania... words fail me, but fair play to her for channeling her inner Max and taking a risk! Boris man spreading next to the queen in the group photo made me heave, he is utterly vile.

CurlyWurlyTwirly re Kate and high necklines
"........she doesn't like necklaces or hasn't got loads of jewellery......"
I don't think it's the latter as she has access to more jewels than most !

I’m disabled & use a walking stick.

Whenever I’m on public transport & a man is manspreading I always poke his foot with my stick while apologising sweetly the first time.

If he does it again & they invariably do I tell him to keep his legs to himself whilst poking his foot again.

I rarely need to poke his foot a third time.

So Kate's dress last night was a brand new bespoke Wickstead but I could've sworn she already had one just like it.

That’s because all Wicksteads look the bloody same!

Trudeau is so naughty isn't he? He totally knows Kate's got the hots for him. Hope PW sees that pic
