Royal style: Max and Wax and whacky hats

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.

That's certainly eclectic but I don't know how the Mail know Kate was green with envy!

There will be a special broadcast from the Queen on Sunday to address Coronavirus

😂

Saw this today (also ridiculous):

RELAXED ROYAL Kate Middleton has returned to a simpler style now she doesn’t have to ‘compete’ with Meghan Markle, insider claims.

The Duchess of Sussex, 38, has officially stepped back from royal duties, and moved to LA with Prince Harry and Archie, and this has left Kate feeling more comfortable.

An insider told Fabulous: “Someone who knows Kate well said ‘the atmosphere since the Sussexes left has noticeably improved.

“Kate does not feel she has to compete now. She has gone back to a much simpler style'.

"Kate feels very much more relaxed now.

"She most definitely went through a phase two years ago where she seemed slightly intimidated by Meghan.

"She was afraid of comparisons being drawn between them and that Meghan was the one who looked glamorous and popular for a while."

The source added that now pressure has been slightly lifted, Kate’s make up artist, Arabella Preston, is now using “less eye make up, paler lips colours and more high street nail polishes in less obvious shades.”

The source continued: "She wears far less make up and looks happy, relaxed and sporting high Street clothes."

They just make these up as they go along, don't they?

Load of nonsense Grin

Just to clarify, I was laughing at:
I don't know how the Mail know Kate was green with envy!
And not:
There will be a special broadcast from the Queen on Sunday to address Coronavirus

Maxima is still out and about, in an ODLR coat that has a bit of a Dr Jeckyll/Mr Hyde thing going on. I assume the dress underneath is from the same collection.

Like some of us Max looks like she's missing her hairdresser. Smile
At least her hair is straight, not a frizzy mess like mine.
I'm surprised they are out and about tbh, it's serious lockdown here.

Anyone know a holy grail of hair conditioner ?

MotherofPearl · 04/04/2020 09:12

I thought I liked Max's dress when I could just see the top half, but the bottom half is not great. The coat swamps her. Interesting that she's still doing visits - though obviously maintaining social distancing.

paradyning · 04/04/2020 10:39

Same Pearl. I loved the top three saw the bottom. Love her boots mind.

paradyning · 04/04/2020 10:40

*then

LadyEloise · 04/04/2020 10:48

Blind Gossip has it that Meghan is pregnant. I think.

QueenOfTheAndals · 04/04/2020 10:50

I don't hold much faith in Blind Gossip but the pregnancy story was that she was pregnant by Prince Andrew! So it's safe to say that was an April Fools joke!

And yes, I agree @paradyning, her boots are great. Camilla could consider something similar instead of those black ones she wore all winter! At least something in a similar colour...

paradyning · 04/04/2020 12:24

Cam would look great in them!

If we're talking gossip... there was chat on cdan about Albert having to disclose his movements due to his c-19 diagnosis and Charlene not being happy when another live child popped up.
USUAL DISCLAIMER FOR CDAN ETC ETC.

*love child. Ffs.

thisenglishlife · 04/04/2020 14:03

The Queen last year, great colour!

Was just thinking that since her uncle didn't have any children, she still would have become queen eventually.

Yes but not until she was well into her forties, which I think she would've preferred.

I like to think that Kate`s home has pics the DCs have done up on the walls in the kitchen, etc.

AngelaScandal · 05/04/2020 09:22

I wish Kate was doing ‘what am I wearing: Pandemic edition’. For our benefit obvs.

Saw a pic of Prince Charles’ tablecloth in his Scottish living room. Tartan cloth. Literal dressing right there.

thisenglishlife · 05/04/2020 15:01

She seems to wear jumpers and jeans in her downtime

paradyning · 05/04/2020 15:13

What's Queenie going to wear tonight?
Royal Blue maybe? Wonder if there's a brooch linked to the NHS in some way

justasking111 · 05/04/2020 15:25

I was wondering about the brooch too. Something connected to the NHS certainly.

QueenOfTheAndals · 05/04/2020 16:31

The eccentric Marquess of Bath has died of coronavirus, so Emma is now Marchioness.
