The eyebrows are getting higher by the year too. We've talked about that on here before, I know.

I'm afraid she's going to end up resembling Wallis Simpson. That terrifying greyhound-asking-a-question look.

I am grateful to see some bling. Re: the dress velvet really has to be seen in real life, photos do not do it justice. There is something so entrancing about velvet when seen in the flesh so to speak.

Sunset photogenic to me means that you look better in photographs than in real life, that the camera enhances and draws out a feature or aspect of personality. This is why so many models and actors look unprepossessing in life, but amazing on film.
Diana was the opposite. She was gob smacking in life, not so much in photos.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 12/12/2019 15:17

I think she was gob smacking in photos actually. I never saw her in real life.

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 12/12/2019 15:21

I was in close proximity to her two or three times - as in within touching distance, in a restaurant, at a function and in the street. Utterly stunning.

I just read Queen's post as Kate liking a 'strongbow'.....I'm not sure she'd keep her figure if she was downing pints of cider on a regular basis! Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 12/12/2019 16:50

I think that's the last we'll see of Kate til the walk to church on Christmas Day now, although the Mary Berry tv special is airing next Wednesday.

Camilla looking amazing and hosting children from my favourite charity Helen & Douglas House.

i really hope they put the DoC Mary Berry thing on Britbox. Want to see it!

AdaColeman · 12/12/2019 17:29

That’s the outfit Camilla wore to the NATO reception, nice to see a rewear, and she looks lovely and Christmassy too!

PinkSun9 · 12/12/2019 17:30

Camilla is in the same outfit she wore at the NATO do at BP.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 12/12/2019 17:39

Lovely to see the reindeer back.
However I don’t like the capelet jacket.
The red dress is fab though!

There's something different..... Is it a warmer shade of blonde? Or different eyeshadow?

She's definitely gotten a makeover.

BertrandRussell · 12/12/2019 17:48

That red dress is too short, IMHO.

Disfordarkchocolate · 12/12/2019 17:48

Camilla always something nice for the reindeer event. Something warm looking and festive. She seems good with children too.

AdaColeman · 12/12/2019 18:06

I'm a bit sad Camilla didn't wear a holly and ivy Christmas tiara though!

N0tfinished · 12/12/2019 18:14

Any chance there'll be a photograph of any of the Royals at their polling station ?

BertrandRussell · 12/12/2019 18:32

That picture of the Danes is weird. What are the random horses for?

hopeishere · 12/12/2019 18:32

Are you joking @beanaseireann?

DevonUkelele · 12/12/2019 18:39

Some lovely pics of Camilla posted by Clarence House. The red dress is a bit of a stunner - nice to see her in a strong colour for a change.

I think, traditionally, the royals don't vote 🤔 but happy to stand corrected on that. At least, if it's true, I wonder how many places from the throne voting starts - Eugenie (now she's Mrs Brooksbank?), Zara, the Gloucesters and Kents? It's all a mystery.

Agree with PP, Kate's makeup is quite heavy and ageing. But it always has been - that heavy, dark eye-liner, for instance.

Pictures taken in the stables Bertrand.

MotherofPearl · 12/12/2019 19:06

I'm not a fan of Camilla's weird capelet thingy either @CurlyWurlyTwirly, and I see in this photo from a few days ago that Leti has succumbed to one too.

“Pictures taken in the stables Bertrand.”

So what is the random Christmas tree for?
