Royal style: Max and Wax and whacky hats

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Now that the Commonwealth event is nearly over, we have another treat ahead of us. Maxima in Indonesia!

In light of what happened on the previous thread, I'm going to take a leaf out of Elizabeth SMT Holmes' book and say critique the clothes and the styling but not the physical appearances of various royal women.

Oh well, to be fair she does have a very nice speaking voice!

I was just thinking the same, she has a lovely speaking voice, her accent is nice, and her voice is clear and warm.

I think she does have a good voice for that kind of documentary.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this tonight. Kensington Palace tweet video

Little Louis is looking very grown up in that video!

A loved video for a lovely moment!!

*lovely

Very cute. I think Louis looks like the old photos of Prince Edward as a child.

Love that video!

Aww, that is so sweet! ♥️

They’re gorgeous

(The cynic in me thinks it is to distract from the ongoing Charles fleeing London accept virus situation)

The Wessexes have done a clapping video too. James certainly has mastered a poker face!

The cynic in me thinks it is to distract from them heading off to Wales despite everyone being told they are not to travel!

Are the Cambridge's In Wales? I thought they were in Norfolk which I know still pushes the restrictions but if they went as soon as the schools broke up they may not of completely broken them.

They are in Anner Hall. Yes Norfolk. They fled London. Wouldn’t blame them really when they know they will be there for six months but it isn’t a great example to flea to your holiday home.

Kensington isn't as private I suspect as Anmer either. As already mentioned elsewhere, this is probably in the emergency planning scenarios - in case of threat to the succession, scatter the family and reduce risks.

I won't completely defend them as I agree it's a bad message to send but I have always thought they view Anmer as their home and Kensington more as work so maybe there is a bit of that also and I have no facts to back me up here does it not take less staff to run Anmer than Kensington palace?

Oh ffs give them a break. We don't know when they went to Norfolk, it could have been before even the school closures were announced and regardless they are there every weekend and all holidays. It's hardly an occasional holiday home. Personally if I had the choice of being locked down in central London or rural Norfolk I know where would be better for the kids.

Also more and older people to infect at KP - the older Royals for example, people in flats on top of each other - comparatively speaking that is! They probably drove up and won’t leave their home - if they do have any virus lurking, they will infect fewer people, if any, in Norfolk than in their compound with equerries, other staff and other royals.

Well my in-laws live in Norfolk, so that's the last place I'd choose to go in an apocalypse

Just had a look at a still photograph of the three children. Louis looks very like Charlotte (once you see past his similar haircut to George).

George looks tall!

The clapping videos are very sweet. Seems like a lot of 'fleeing' for the RF - H&M have allegedly fled Canada to go to LA.

How can Harry move to the US? He’ll have to sort out a Green Card etc. So much easier for him to stay in Canada. No fashion though to comment on.

That seems a bit out of the frying pan doesn't it? California is a hot spot, I'd be sitting it out in Vancouver Island I reckon.

Still, Doria looked good walking the dogs. That woman looks good in anything.

The headline that they were running to la to avoid covid 19?! Wtf?

The kids all looked very sweet, especially charlotte. I have a real soft spot for her and looking forward to some birthday photos soon.
