Will we see any royals out and about anytime soon?

Cams looks lovely. Love Kate's dress.
But. But. I LOVE that wooden door they're standing in front of!

paradyning · 23/04/2020 20:40

Kate's dress has already been ID'd as Ghost according to the DM

Agree about the photo of Charles and Louis, ajandjjmum

The photos of Charles, Diana and W and H when they were babies are so stilted and devoid of human feeling by comparison.

Look like an 80s nightie here:

Louis and George look so similar in this photo!

It’s a lovely dress on Kate but it doesn’t look that great on the hanger.

AppleKatie · 23/04/2020 22:01

Looks great on Kate and absolutely dreadful on the model on the JL website Shock

thisenglishlife · 23/04/2020 22:04

It definitely looks worse on the model, doesn't it?

QueenOfTheAndals · 23/04/2020 22:05

That dress is a bit sister-wife isn't it? The kids are very cute - I liked how Charlotte practically came out the door clapping!

I wonder how many rehearsals they had (and what time it was actually filmed at!)

Right kids you’ve got two jobs ‘1) look cute 2) clap- you really must clap...’

MotherofPearl · 23/04/2020 22:19

Good point @AppleKatie. I'd imagine Louis is in bed before 8pm, certainly.

frugalkitty · 23/04/2020 22:23

Have you seen the video on insta? I'd link if I knew how, it was on the Big Night In earlier.

AppleKatie · 23/04/2020 22:24

I thought that, but the light looked about right for 8pm. They would be made to do it live though, pre recorded makes much more logical sense.

AppleKatie · 23/04/2020 22:25

*mad

Wetdogloveshubert · 23/04/2020 23:33

@Bouledeneige I suspect you are right, though I can't recall seeing it clearly. I'm not really that invested in their interior decor! Like @paradyning I love the outside door however!

The pictures, today's clap video and the videos we keep seeing of Sophie and Edward: well done their PR team. Out of the park, mic drop, winning... They may not all be seen as relevant to many, but it's excellent soft PR, not overtly self-serving, and drawing attention where it's needed. Plus Kate's hair looked fab again Wink

The picture of Charles and Louis is gorgeous. Brought an ache to my heart, thinking of my own DD missing all of her grandparents, cousins and aunts and uncles. I'm out the other side of corona, and thankful, but missing family.

LadyEloise · 24/04/2020 00:05

Kate looks great. They all do.

itswinetime · 24/04/2020 02:52

They all look great very healthy and relaxed. Louis was obviously very confused looking around like who are we clapping there is no one there bless him. Smile

Rhubarbisevil · 24/04/2020 07:49

The dress has sold out on John Lewis but you might like to know that “customers also viewed” these. So if we see them on Kate then she has a John Lewis account. I wonder if she ever pops into the John Lewis at Peterborough to get her free coffee and cake?

Little ones are so cute. My neighbour is out with her little ones on a Thursday clapping in their pyjamas & then straight to bed. Past their bedtime but it’s once a week. They are always so happy to be joining in.

hopeishere · 24/04/2020 08:13

Camilla looks slimmer in jeans than dresses / skirts.

itswinetime · 24/04/2020 09:17

Williams acting may not have been all that but fair play for being willing to play the fool!

Agree Camilla suits the country casual look.

Jjacobb · 24/04/2020 11:24

I love these threads although I rarely post. As there is little in the way of fashion to see at the moment I thought I would post a few pictures of her maj in some styles that are slightly more unusual.

I like that blue dress, it's very un-her. Though HM in trousers other than riding breeches is probably the most un-her I've seen her look!

Who was filming? That was the bit that sort of threw me. Because the way it's all so close it's like they live in a really nice house in central london where the front door is up a few steps from the street! Not in a mansion in a manor where the driveway is probably a mile long! Grin So from that perspective it was a bit odd. But I thought it was nicely done.

And clearly Will does NOT have a second career as an actor on the cards. Bless him. But I thought it was a sweet little skit nonetheless.
