Royal style: the Duel of the Duchesses

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

What will tomorrow bring for Kate? Does her love for green know no end?

And Thursday night sees the return of Meghan! I know she can be polarising so let's stick to just discussing her clothes rather than the intricacies of Megxit. There's plenty of other threads to do that!

I think KM in ODLR means she actually has got a stylist! It's not like she'd be rummaging around for vintage finds herself. If so. The stylist needs to be sacked.
Are those Emmie shoes again?

And those aren't papped shots. Nothing about what they do at present is papped. All PR

I did that cliff walk in Howth last year. It is just fabulous, it was a nice sunny day and the views were to die for. Only max half an hour outside the city centre. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Lovely day today for W+K too.

Loving the thread, mostly lurk as I like the pix, thanks all!

Great colour and I like the dress overall. (I do like the 70s/80s look).

The bloke behind W&K looks like Simon Coveney - I may be mistaken.

It's so easy to get away from Dublin (a hop and a skip from the city centre in several directions) to enjoy nature.

Kate definitely has a stylist but how much is her how much is them I don't know.

There have been lots of pics of linked arms and a cliff top hug, and a definite push towards matching outfits and body language. It's a bit to smooth for me to believe it's anything other than carefully planned. That said I don't blame them the press must be desperate for their next royal scandal by now.

I like the pink dress (although the length is neither here nor there) and I love her hair.

The latest outfit, a bit 80s again (that neck!!)

I like Kate in the heliotrope ODLR, something a bit different for her, and her hair do is good too.
There are some stunningly beautiful areas close to Dublin, there’s a coastal drive, I think it’s near Blackrock, where you could be driving near Sorrento or Amalfi it’s so similar.

Simon is hosting tonight, he is a safe pair of hands. Usually!

It is indeed Simon Coveney, our Tánaiste ( second in command in the government ) and Minister of Foreign Affairs who lost out in the leadership battle in Fine Gael to Leo Varadker, who hence became Taoiseach ( Prime Minister)
I've a soft spot for Simon

Kate looks nice. The pink is good on her but I don't like the style of the dress. William was so goid looking in his youth.

Are they staying in the Ambassador's residence or at Farmleigh

AdaColeman That's the Vico Road in Killiney/Dalkey. It's very scenic.

Simon is my local TD, his family are all really nice - whatever way one votes!

Kate's hair on this tour has been top notch! I would have been interested to see how this trip might have played out had Mary-Lou been able to form a government initially.

I'm not a huge fan but then I don't like the 80s silhouette. It looks very like something Diana might've once worn! But the colour is nice and props to her for trying something different.

Love the ponytail; it’s perfect.

Love the colour of tonight’s dress: gorgeous on her.

I don’t hate the ruffle as much as I think I should. Or maybe I would kind of like the ruffle IF it was a rare ruffle moment. It works nicely on this dress. I can utterly live without all the Pussycat bows and frills and flounces on loads of her other stuff.

I still so, so wish she would do more interesting shoes.

Colour and hair a big plus tonight though.

I can't believe they bothered to stage a visit to the Londis shop. Wtaf !!!

Love the pink. Glad she has let the green go.

You'd think they'd have gone to a Mace like the rugby bod does.

The colour of the ODLR is great but it’s very frumpy. It looks like the Golden Girls wore it first.

She could dress so beautifully

I like this outfit and love her hair. I have given up on her ever wearing a nice pair of shoes.

I saw one photo which had a woman with them in a lovely white lace dress - is that Simon Coveney's wife? Love the dress whoever she is.

CarrotVan i agree it's very frumpy.
Just thinking- these threads are a bit surreal.
Imagine posters tearing to shreds commenting on what you wear to work.

The pink is great but the neckline of that dress is horrific. I thought I'd be glad to see her in something not green, but alas, it's a hideous 80s vibe.

Good hair though Kate!

wasn't the trip to the shop all part of the budgeting/cooking thing they were doing with the kids?

Ruth Coveney is small and blonde if that helps. Simon's siblings and mum are tall - I never saw his dad who was also a politician.
