As on the previous thread, please critique the outfit rather than criticise the woman and keep Megxit talk for the many many threads already dedicated to that!

Still looks daft under a suit jacket.

I don't think it's a fleece either.
He's a man who won't suffer to be stylish like many men.

Only two seasons left of The Crown and Imelda Staunton confirmed as next HM.

Seriously Imelda?? Why haven’t they roped Helen Mirren back in? Imelda will play HM as Beryl from suburbia. With nets.

Total rot to say the drop of in viewers for S3 is because of P Andrew. It’s totally because OC is woe compared to CF.

StCharlotte · 31/01/2020 20:19

I finished watching S3 last night. OC was never convincing.

MotherofPearl · 31/01/2020 20:27

I can't really imagine Imelda Staunton as HMQ...

MotherofPearl · 31/01/2020 20:35

Looks like more frilly collared jumpers from CPM.

I'm not sure about Leti's trousers but she somehow manages to always look so chic.

I’m excited for Imelda Staunton as HMQ I think she’ll do it well. I’m a fan. And she’s married to Carson so who can hate her.

QueenOfTheAndals · 31/01/2020 21:11

Let's hope he puts in a cameo as Porchy!

Apparently it'll end in 2003 so I guess after the deaths of PM and the QM.

And of course the golden jubilee!

It’s not that I don’t love Imelda.

But she isn’t HMQ.

She’s not even a Dame Grin

frugalkitty · 31/01/2020 22:45

A rather lovely bit of bling that I found on a link on Pinterest.....a snip at 12 million Grin

Those emeralds look like giant boiled sweets! I love that tiara.

BlingLoving · 31/01/2020 22:57

Oooh, I like it!!

I got bored of.season 3. I think the fact that it was trying to be sort of biographical but with ridiculous dramatisation, that even without knowing about stuff I could see wasnt true, just irritated me too much.

SeaRabbit · 31/01/2020 23:42

Me too Blingloving. I only half watched it, in the end. Partly because Olivia Colman wasn't right as HMQ, but mostly because of them sexing it all up.

According to DM the Queen has offered to let Beatrice use Buckingham Palace for her Wedding reception. But still no date mentioned

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 01/02/2020 00:21

At least Imelda is the right height!

I really didn't like Helen Mirren in The Queen, her accent was not pure enough. Kristen Scott Thomas can do it perfectly but she's a bit too refined looking for an older HMQ. Would have been a perfect younger one!

MotherofPearl · 01/02/2020 09:23

Oh I love Kristen Scott Thomas! She always seems so poised and elegant. I agree that her accent would be ideal but not her face.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 01/02/2020 09:39

I think Bea will make lovely bride, she's very petite and hourglassy. I hope she gets a tiara with emeralds, fabulous with her colouring.

It's a pity it won't be televised but hopefully there will be some good video footage. Hair up or down, do we think?

QueenOfTheAndals · 01/02/2020 11:22

KST is not that young - I think she's in her sixties now?

OP posts:
MotherofPearl · 01/02/2020 12:04

KST has certainly aged, but she's not sufficiently matronly to play HMQ

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 01/02/2020 12:40

KST is unfortunately not the right age for a young QE but if The Crown had been made when she was she would have been an excellent choice.

I think she's very beautiful and I love that she has natural lines and hasn't been botoxed and filled to look like a plastic doll.

DevonUkelele · 01/02/2020 12:42

I always thought KST was *gorgeou . Swoon.

Also - loving those earrings!
