Royal style: 'tis the season for tiaras, fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

Kate's version of the dress looks marginally better than the original - those sheer sleeves are hideous!

Here's Charlene looking overjoyed as usual. I can't figure out if she's unhappy or if she's had so much Botox and fillers that they render her face immobile. Lovely shade of plum on her though, and the dark lipstick is good too.

Interestingly, that tweet about the Christmas card has been deleted now.

I was too slow off the mark to see the Christmas card.

Why would the tweet about the card be deleted? Is it meant to be a secret Christmas card?

It's out there! Just Google Duchess of Cambridge Christmas card. 🙂

Nice family pic.

Little Louis looks like he has been photosopped into the Christmas card image!

Saw this photo of William and it made me chuckle.

Love Charlene's dark lipstick and plum dress.

Really like the Cambridge Christmas card too - good photo of them all.

Also a fan of CPV's red ensemble posted upthread: very stylish.

Enjoyed seeing the photos of the RF going to the lunch today but wish we could see some full length shots!

I did see one of the replies under the tweet said that it was the personal card from KM and that there will be an "official" Cambridge family one, but I don't know 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Belgian royals at a Christmas concert. Mathilde's dress looks like festive roadkill but I like Elisabeth's velvet jumpsuit and Paola is as elegant as ever.

Jameela Jamil has retweeted the clip of the shoulder shrug in the Mary Berry show on Twitter.. and people are going in on them online 🙄

It looks like Kate is on a swivelly chair and just swivelled by mistake?! I've only seen the clip though...

It's a very odd movement. Can't tell what she's doing really

Blimey, those pics of Charlene. Im not normally very good at spotting fillers and things, but they're hard to miss! Her face almost looks swollen, I wonder if she's had a recent top up?

I like her outfit and the strong lip, but love, step back from the needle...

I prefer KM's version of the dress (sleeves in same fabric as the body) to the official design.

Though all in all it's not something I would ever wear myself even if I could squeeze into it.

What has Charlene done to her lips, or is it the muscles of her face on her left side? Her lips appear stuck in a smirk. I love the burgundy/plum dress, but is it really chilly enough in Monaco for heavy boots?

Is Lady Louise wearing braces? www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/g30246501/royal-family-queen-elizabeth-christmas-lunch-buckingham-palace-2019-photos/

The three children on the left of the Belgian photo don't look comfortable. I like Mathilde's outfit, I must say.

Can't believe people are going on and on about this shrugging gesture by Kate.

Who'd be them? A really great tv show, highlighting some great charities and the work the Cambridge's do gets boiled down to a nanosecond. For feck sake 😤

I've watched the shrug thing again. I wondered if William was checking she wasn't overheating from the open fire behind them, and her swivel was to adjust her position. I don't think there was anything more to it than that.

Meghan isn't around to be criticised. It reminds me of when newspapers publish photos of celebrities claiming they are drunk, when in fact they are mid-blink.

I do wonder why the royals do not do christmassy christmas cards, mid summer pictures seem so bizarre.

The Kate shifting position thing is a complete nonsense. If I was her I’d be so pissed off at people making a mountain out of something so random and small.

It proves absolutely nothing about anything.

Charlenes face is pretty scarily done atm.

I watched the clip and it looks like William was already touching her, it's not the he touched her and then she moved away directly. Maybe he's the annoying touchy feely one in the relationship and she was really wanting to slap his arm away and say 'for gods SAKE William' in which case she was rather restrained. My DH is like that, I spend a lot of time asking him why he's touching me.

Watched the clip again, it looks like they were chatting to the woman sat next to William and Kate shifted to face the person next to her just as William placed his hand on her shoulder.

I can't believe actually yes I can there's an entire thread about this on MN 🤦🏻‍♀️

@CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt Jameela Jamil calls people out on bullying Meghan and Harry but It is ok for her to post a video of Kate and William to start gossip. What a lovely person.
