Previous thread, usual rules.

Split for Autumn and Peter confirmed by BP.

She is *not going to Canada but will remain in Gloucestershire, and they will co-parent the girls.

Looking forward to Wills and Kate down under. Interesting it's being widely reported here (🇦🇺) but not yet confirmed by KP. W&K are said to be waiting for their formal invitation - maybe it's in the post?

But our PM definitely does have form for being cheap with the truth and maximum spin. So it could all be a pie in the sky dream 🙄.

Whoops, sorry, a spokesperson for the couple confirms the split. Not BP.

Who is going to lead George astray on the balcony now😁?

If they are staying in Gloucester then we should still see the girls I would think just not autumn it I guess it will take time.

A royal tour of Australia sounds good to me over the Easter holidays if we are lucky.

They'll probably still be on the balcony, but just with their Dad. Sad, but handled with dignity.

Sad about Peter and Autumn.
Body language wasn't great on the balcony. But other times they looked really happy together. The children always seemed to be having fun with their cousin and extendeed family cousins.
DM is saying he didn't see it coming.
Hard to believe you don't know your marriage is in trouble.

Any decent photos found of today's visit yet? The only ones I've seen on Twitter don't show much of the clothes...

Is that a culottes suit Kate is wearing?

Just found those on DKblog... first photo looks like culottes but second doesn't so much

Actually no, it's a skirt but I'm not sure I like the cut or length.

I think I would have preferred culottes to that skirt....

Has there not been rumours about Peter and Autumn before? When I saw it last night something in me said ah well we knew that.

I agree I think a cullotte would have been better than that skirt I'm not a fan I think the look is probably too tailored. It doesn't work for her.

Camilla looks great. I think her hat is dated though.
Kate. I can't even begin.

I actually love that skirt and length! Not sure about the jacket but personally I don;t like military stuff.

Camilla looks dressed for the weather!

It would have been great as a culotte suit, but the fabric looks like it’s not hanging very well as a skirt.

Not too keen on Kate’s look today, it’s a bit Salvation Army uniform to me.
I like Camilla in that colour, but the hat swamps her, far too big & heavy for her. Perhaps if she pinned one side of the brim up with a glittery pin and worn it more tilted to the side, it would have worked better.

I quite like the jacket and the military styling (is it because they're visiting a rehab centre for ex service personnel?) but the skirt is a bit sister-wife. Would a knee-length pencil skirt have worked better?

I've lived in Spain for 20 years.

Letizia is seen a bit stuck up I think.

Also, during the corruption investigations that ultimately brought down Rajoy, there was a businessman under investigation for spending 34,000€ in luxury shops and restaurants on a "black" credit card from one of the failing/corrupt banks. These were cards they could spend freely on but the money was not declared anywhere.

He was friends with Letizia and she sent him supportive text messages basically saying the investigations were a load of shit and that she supported him.

Which, for the millions of people living in poverty in Spain was kind of like a massive "fuck you, plebs".

I like Kate's skirt but there's something odd going on round her middle. Is it just a bit tight maybe?

Kate just needs a hat and she could be Mary Poppins. Sorry but WTF is that skirt?

The jacket is nice and would go with jeans.

Not keen on Kate’s look and Camilla seems to have borrowed hat from the 90s. It must have been jammed in her head to keep her warm and will reliably not blow off. And the black watch tartan collar seems dated too.

I like the detailing on Kate’s jacket but she seems to be all material and being blown about.

Nice to see the four of them together though.

I think some of her wide legged trousers would have worked but yes I think if had to be a skirt a pencil skirt would have been better....I think even just a different material in the skirt would have been better something lighter maybe.

And I know I moan a lot because of the patterns and frilly bits Kate wears but this is the other extreme for me it's to plain to sever the colour the material it needs something to lift it.

I thought Camilla looked decidedly frumpy, dreadful hat, messy neckline and the coat shape and (muddy blue/green) colour didn't do her any favours.

If Kate wanted a military-style outfit for today then she could've done worse than repeat this McQueen coat.

Agree Queen.
If she wore today's jacket with a pencil skirt it would just about look ok. Except I think the waist position isn't great.
Or wear the skirt with a fine knit jumper for another more low key occasion. But not together.
