Royal style - how we love Kate in a red coat

[Maireas]

How many coats do we think she has?

I think Meghan has had some work done as her face looks quite different. Still gorgeous but a little tweaked.

I also thought Kate had a little tweaking - no judgement here, I am partial to some tweaking too.

Just interesting how pretty much every female in the public eye seems to be tweaked. Lisa Armstrong wrote a good piece in the telegraph in the weekend about it - comparing and contrasting Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.

Just to keep us going though we've probably seen quite a few of these before:

Some lovely sparkly outfits there Tracy, thanks for posting. Those Jenny Packham dresses are all amazing.

The DoC has sent a message of support to the British team competing in the America Cup. She looks appropriately nautical, but far from sparkly!

I am really not a fan at all of Charlene's new hair cut. I'm probably very stuffy and conservative but to me it looks dreadful, and imagine the horror of eventually trying to grow it out?!

Fabulous sequinned mask though!

A bold choice from Charlene www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9059949/Princess-Charlene-Monaco-appears-unrecognisable-shows-daring-haircut.html I don’t think it’s that flattering but I like that she’s done something different.

I don't think her new haircut looks good. It almost looks like she chickened out half way through.

Call me a prude but I hate the half shaved look on women

I think Meghan is pregnant. Her fuller face suggests it to me. But what do I know?

😲 at Charlene's hair! Maybe going through a but if a rebellious stage? 🤔 I do think it suits her though.

• bit not but.

She has got a nicely shaped head though - mine would not be suitable! Her face mask is amazing

I just saw the pics online of Charlene's new 'do'......oh dearie me.

I thought of us last night when I saw the photo of Kate talking to sailors while wearing a sailing jacket......her literal dressing never lets us down!

She's wearing an America's Cup team jacket to be fair but teamed with a jaunty Breton!

Charlenes hair is awful.

Meghan looked a bit trussed up and has definitely had some work done. But a good lipstick.

@Sooverthemill I totally agree. I think the reveal in the New York Time’s article may have helped to ward off press speculation.

Bit shocked at Charlene's new hairdo! I think she really suits short hair but crumbs!
Top hair marks to Kate's beautiful blowdry, she looks great and I love the literal dressing again!
@sooverthemill I think you may be right.

I agree @Sooverthemill but didn't want to speculate too much, considering her earlier experience this year. I hope you're right anyway; that would be lovely news!

Oh Gosh, I’m in the prude camp too, I’m afraid my first thought upon seeing that picture was - is she quite well? My second was -who is punishing her and for what.

Hopefully I’m just very old and out of touch.

Saw pics of Chaz's hairdo, came straight in here. Ooft!!

I think Charlene has a flip over undercut as in the Daily Mail photos it looks like the fringe is worn on the other side hiding the shaved bit.
It really suits her but it's not a hairstyle that you'd normally imagine on a Princess.

On that note didn't Zara Tindall have her tongue pierced at some point?

I loved the red coat Kate wore in that final engagement with Markle where they did not speak. So smart and her dark hair looks good with red.

Can you imagine the reaction in the UK press if Kate decided she was fed up of her long hair and had a Charlene cut? 😂

Good heavens @latedecember1963, never mind the press, can you imagine the reaction on this thread? It would keep us going for days, maybe even weeks!

That would be a good thing, no? 🤣

I think Charlene is rebelling big time.
