frugalkitty. It would drive me nuts and I would be constantly adjusting if but I do think it looks good on others lol

William and Kate are back to work next week by the look of things Kensington palace has announced these engagements for them.

the royal couplewill travel to Bradford on Wednesday 15January to visit a number of projects which support the community and promote cohesion within it, in one of the UK’s most diverse cities.

William and Kate, on behalf of the Queen, will also host a reception at Buckingham Palace to mark the UK-Africa Investment Summit on Monday 20 January. The Summit itself will be hosted by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and will bring together businesses, governments and international institutions to showcase and promote the breadth and quality of investment opportunities across Africa.

Or worse @frugalkitty - a friend of a friend got dressed one morning, put her tights on, jumper on, coat and then walked out the door. It was only when she got to work that she realised she'd forgotten to put trousers on over her tights...

"on behalf of the Queen" - wonder if they all drew straws to see who'd have to spend the evening with Boris Johnson?

Vincent has undergone a bit of a revival in Scandinavia - for example the average age of a Vincent in Sweden is 10 years old.

Also important to remember that Crown Prince Frederik is half French so names such as Vincent and Josephine may be to reflect their Grandfather's heritage.

I love navy and black, too. It has to be the right shade of navy. but it looks great.

NoGravyForYou · 08/01/2020 17:04

I wonder if W&K wanted that extra week off work to get everyone back settled in KP and school after the last few weeks in Anmer.

I like when W&K do engagements together, they do look like they're very happy.

Disfordarkchocolate · 08/01/2020 17:04

I step away from these threads when they get unpleasant. I don't want to read endless pregnant speculation, comments at about 'messy' hair directed at Meghan or comments that are critical of a person's figure (and many other things). The tone of some people's comments about Meghan, in particular, is very distasteful.

I'm a big fan of the royal women, they face a level of scrutiny that I couldn't live with even with their privileges.

frugalkitty · 08/01/2020 17:04

Oh Queen that made me chuckle!! How embarrassing.
I went through a stage of having to pick my eldest DS up from scouts about 9.30 so in the dark I'd jump in the car with my pjs and dressing gown on. My youngest saw me going out the door one evening and said 'are you really going out like that?' I said 'it's fine, it's dark, no one will see me'.....get to the end of the drive and hear my neighbour say 'hello Kitty, where are you off to in your dressing gown?' Blush

alliwantisagoodnightssleep · 08/01/2020 17:10

Meghan looks lovely today. She really does suit shirts like the one she is wearing and the Misha Nonoo ones. They are very chic.

BlingLoving · 08/01/2020 17:12

Where is Megan today? Must go look on SM - being using it for work research so missing all the fluffy posts about royals I usually get to enjoy. She looks great. She really does modern smart casual well. I think also because she has the right figure for it.

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 08/01/2020 17:14

I think Meghan looks great with her hair up, and the shirt/trouser combination is very her. I wonder if she’d consider wearing a cape given she often wears her coats like that? I think she has the potential to look fabulous in a cape.

QueenOfTheAndals · 08/01/2020 17:21

She looked great in a caped dress a couple of years ago at the Albert Hall @HainaultViaNewburyPark (great name btw!) so I think she could carry off a chic wool one too.

I saw a cape in a shop last year so tried it on and was feeling very Meghan until DP saw it and said it looked like something Theresa May would wear!

Meghan always seems to look great in trousers, I think she gets the cut just right.

Just saw some sad news for the Spanish royal family on instagram.

Oops, Zara's just got a six month driving ban for doing 91mph in a 70mph area.

QueenOfTheAndals

Is there "things you find common" thread @astralweaks? grin

What a strange question.Confused
It’s a thread about things people find boring. Weird.

QueenOfTheAndals · 08/01/2020 17:39

Was it driving Anne was done for? I thought it was something to do with her dogs attacking someone. Or maybe it was both!

OP posts:
QueenOfTheAndals · 08/01/2020 17:40

Yes, those threads about things people find boring do tend to be fairly weird.

Anne had several summonses for speeding, I think, as well as the dog episode.

astralweaks · 08/01/2020 17:41

frugalkitty

astral unless you've put navy tights on in the dark by mistake! grin

Absolutely. I get you. Smile

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 08/01/2020 17:43

Princess Anne has a penchant for speed, she's definitely been fined, and I think banned at one stage.

paradyning · 08/01/2020 17:43

Pilar is such a lovely name. Any Spaniards here know Whether it is very common in Spain or is it 'of its time' like Doris??
I love the mantilla they wear

astralweaks · 08/01/2020 17:44

They are weird@QueenOfTheAndals, in a sense, but quite fun actually. Everyone feels quite comfortable on it - but it is Chat, after all.

itswinetime · 08/01/2020 17:46

I don't know about Anne and speeding but she was definitely done for her dogs. The bite a child maybe 2 if I remember correctly.
