Charlene and Albert linking arms appears to be their go-to pose these days.

Charlene should lay off the fillers, she looks most bizarre. Nice dress though.

God he's lovely. A thoroughly nice chap too by all accounts.
Agree about Charlene's 'work'. Way too much.

margotsdevil · 09/01/2020 17:14

Charlene's face is totally frozen - if you zoom in her expression is identical in all 3 pictures. I hate the way such naturally beautiful women (inc our own royals) feel under such pressure that they get so much (completely unnecessary) work done.

Lest we forget: the ultimate leather trouser wearer...

Frugal [fans self]

I’ll be in my bunk Crown Grin

Leti’s jacket is burying her, I agree... it’s like she’s bought it to grow into, Year 7 school blazer style (I’m bitter, I never actually grew into mine Shock).

hopeishere · 09/01/2020 17:38

Charlene does look much happier!

Leti's jacket is very boxy. Not sure about the big pattern either.

Hands up who will be wearing tee shirts, socks, etc. with the Sussex trademark on them. Now I am a monarchist but think this is a bit meh...Not a fan of Buckingham Palace stuff either to be honest.

Spudlet · 09/01/2020 18:21

Tbh it wouldn’t occur to me to buy anything from a Royal brand, no matter what... it just doesn’t appeal.

Maybe they should start doing a ‘brands we love’ type thing... I will admit to checking out various brands that both Meghan and Kate have worn though I’ve never bought anything yet. But I wouldn’t want to buy any Royal branded stuff, be it Sussex, or Cambridge, or Buckingham Palace, or whatever.

Confession time, I have Buckingham Palace tea towels that I keep at our caravan. 😂

RomaineCalm · 09/01/2020 18:28

Leti's jacket looks like something I wore in the 80's with a pencil skirt and 'barely black' tights.

But yes to the PP who commented on the salmon pink trousers and burgundy outfit of the guy with her. I'm sure I heard something recently about playing 'Winchester Bingo' where you get points every time you spot trousers like that! Smile

Do you know the Red Trousers song Romaine?

@StraightenUpAndFryRight - you've just made my rubbish day very much better with that. Thank you! GrinGrinGrin

WineOrGinOrBoth · 09/01/2020 18:57

spudlet. I bought my dcs schools blazers extra large as well. They were able to wear them for 4 years each!! But the initial cost!!

CarrotVan · 09/01/2020 18:59

That’s a bad jacket. She’s far too tiny for such a big print and double breasted style. A loose blazer would be much better

Also not liking Charlene’s heavy jacket and summer frock combo. I expect it’s a lovely dress but not with that jacket and not for that event

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/01/2020 19:03

She's not actually tiny @CarrotVan - she's apparently 5'7. She only looks tiny because she's always standing next to her 6'5 husband!

Gosh Frugal, that photo of Keanu Shock- he was also an idol of my youth.

MotherofPearl · 09/01/2020 19:08

Red Trousers Guy was also sporting some pretty distinctive eye-wear.

Well, it's helping take our minds off of the M&H saga......

Letis legs look fab in those leather trousers though

MrsGrindah · 09/01/2020 19:15

I’d like to see Kate in some leathers and heels ( I don’t mean that in a pervy way)

MotherofPearl · 09/01/2020 19:18

I assume you'd make space in your famous airing cupboard for Keanu Frugal?

CarrotVan · 09/01/2020 19:19

I meant more tiny like a size 6 rather than tiny tiny.

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/01/2020 19:23

Ahem he's already in mine @MotherofPearl.

@frugalkitty can't have them all...

Ibthink you're giving "red trosers guy" a hard time.
They're not even red really more maroon like.Smile
I really don't get the Keanu love.
