This was very air crew, minus the shoes (I hated those Weitzman Corkswoon shoes!!)

She's worn fashionable clothes, dowdy clothes, business clothes, beautiful clothes, plain clothes, pattern heavy clothes, everything.

I think her Pakistan clothes and casual outfits are/were the best looks, the coat dresses and busy prints are the least successful looks.

I like Catherine's tour looks the most. Canada I really enjoyed, and any event where she gets to compete with William, they look most happy and relaxed them.

I’m afraid I think that all the “blood royals” probably think it’s a storm in a teacup and can’t see what he’s done wrong-apart from “airing the dirty linen in public”.

I am surprised that none of the rags have managed to get pics of Harry and Meghan somewhere in the world. They really did manage to get below the radar.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/12/2019 18:34

Good for them. Their court case is cracking on but they're keeping a low profile.

Meanwhile Fergie has done an interview with Vogue.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/12/2019 18:39

Sadly I think she's as deluded as she ever was when it comes to Andrew.

Fergie sounds very out of touch with reality in that interview.

TSSDNCOP · 13/12/2019 18:48

Whilst I think Sarah might be a lot of fun I do think she’s bonkers as conkers. Her ex-husband is a prick and that’s highly likely to be having a negative effect on her daughters. Stop with the navel gazing and if you’re not going to boot him, have the grace to shut the fuck up about him.

Disfordarkchocolate · 13/12/2019 18:54

Dear Lord that interview is something else, it's like they think they are interviewing someone of substance.

She's deluded if she thinks Andrew has a way back. I'm assuming that there will never be any action against Andrew, however, he was happy to meet and legitimise a known paedophile. I'd would never allow my children to meet him if he was in my family.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 13/12/2019 19:05

Painful reading. She just never learns . She and Meghan share the love of homilies and cutseyness. The showing her jewellery thing is just cringe making.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/12/2019 19:16

I wouldn't put Meghan in the same league as Fergie!

BertrandRussell · 13/12/2019 19:31

Aaaaaand here comes the Meghan bashing. At least nobody can accuse her of attention seeking!

Encyclo · 13/12/2019 19:49

Meghan and Fergie are VERY different people IMO. Feel it was an unnecessary comparison in the context of this conversation.

frugalkitty · 13/12/2019 19:49

If they load, these are some of my favourite Kate outfits

Fergie sounds drunk in that interview. She is cosying up to the Saudis and riding her horse to charities?

StartupRepair · 13/12/2019 19:57

I do feel for the York girls. Their mother has gone on all their lives about what a great mother she is and how strong their family is. I wonder if their narrative is the same?

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 13/12/2019 20:14

Love all of those dresses frugalkitty

DevonUkelele · 13/12/2019 20:19

That red dress is great @frugal... I think it's from the Eastern Europe tour? I liked Kate's clothes from that one.

To clarify, I don't think she cares nothing for what she wears, she clearly cares quite a lot. And she's always going to be closely scrutinised for every detail.

But she's definitely trying to minimise some of that - the "work uniform", as discussed here extensively. No risks really taken, ever. Even the literal dressing 🙄.

Safe, conservative. Definitely not edgy. Even the Vogue cover, if I remember correctly, was panned a bit for her choice of safe, down-home country housewife gear throughout - nothing overly glam or daring.

And for the kids too. Their "work uniform" is to repeat the same clothing over and over - George's white shirt with the blue piping, charlotte's floral frocks, Louis' George hand-me-downs.

RomaineCalm · 13/12/2019 20:25

I like all of those dresses frugal. And I agree with others that her wardrobe is pretty safe. I wish she'd ditch the lavender/pink/pale blue coat dresses and wear more separates. I'd also love to see her wearing more woolly skirts, jumpers and chunky boots when she's off duty.

Have added a couple of other favourites.

Fergie was the one drawing comparisons between them.

justasking111 · 13/12/2019 20:35

That interview with Vogue was another stitch up. Fergie is so naive. I think the mantra "Never complain, never explain" is a good one sometimes.
