I am in utter awe and admiration of Kate. She is everything and more we could ask.

I do think that her hair needs a major rethink. She has such an elegant face and her her current style seems to be "draining" iyswim?

Teachers?

You are obviously here to wind people up, Jane.

Very entertaining posts Grin

@EverythingsTicketyBoo

I wonder if Charlotte likes 'princessy' outfits.

Apparently Lady Louise came home for school saying that another pupil had told her that her grandmother was the Queen.
She's a lovely looking teenager.

Sophie Wessex always looks just right.

Why do people insist on saying that Lady Louise is lovely looking? I know she’s still a child, but she isn’t lovely and to say she is comes across as disingenuous. Like you’ve noticed she isn’t but you’re going to make a point of saying she is. To what end?

Then you are quite wrong. Teachers DO take work home. Hmm

I had no idea who Lady Louise was, so googled. Ironically, she reminds me a lot of Anne Hathaway (before her transformation) in The Princess Diaries! It's an unflattering photograph, mind, and there are much nicer ones. There's a really lovely one of her with her grandmother.

It is an unflattering one.
She looks like she has a nice disposition, and she does bear some resemblance to her grandmother. Lady Sarah (nee A-J) looks like her aunt too. I think Princess Charlotte has it too.

I actually like AH's hair in that photo, but I am old enough to remember everyone having a perm.

I think Royals of working age should have a job. She has a History of Art degree, so could perhaps work in that area.

Plonque · 27/11/2020 16:44

Ah, a history of art degree .... completely useless in the real world for probably 90% of the people who have one!

Janegrey333 · 27/11/2020 16:52

Such a fabulous area of study, though.

eddiemairswife · 27/11/2020 16:53

So is it just something that posh people do at university?

JonasKahnwald · 27/11/2020 17:13

Blimey Lady Louise is the spit of her dad isn't she?!

The Queen’s favourite grandchild, apparently. Her brother always looks miserable. Poor boy.

MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2020 10:20

Lord James is a good-looking child. He doesn't look miserable.

MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2020 10:22

@eddiemairswife, isn't that what Claudia Winkleman studied?

Janegrey333 · 28/11/2020 12:04

@MikeUniformMike

Lord James is a good-looking child. He doesn't look miserable.
He certainly has on the occasions I have seen him. These are usually “royal” occasions so perhaps that’s not unexpected.

This is a nice one:

Janegrey333 · 28/11/2020 12:08

Viscount Severn is the name.

MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2020 12:10

I couldn't remember it when I posted, sorry.

Janegrey333 · 28/11/2020 12:30

Don’t be sorry! Have been looking at other pics of him and he looks fine and dandy in most.

trike20 · 28/11/2020 18:28

How unbelievably ill-mannered to comment on the appearance of a child.

goldielockdown2 · 28/11/2020 18:47

Apparently Lady Louise came home from school saying that another pupil had told her that her grandmother was the Queen

What? Are you implying she didn't realise this? What?

MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2020 18:53

I suppose your granny is just your granny when you are a kid.

cyclingmad · 28/11/2020 19:00

I find her style dull and 😴 thr monarchy certainly needs to modernise in more ways than one. Honestly all this its not royal bs 🙄 its so outdated now

fantasmasgoria1 · 28/11/2020 19:02

She's a woman like every other woman. She's no better than anyone else. She's averagely attractive and she's got personal stylists helping her plus makeup artists and hair stylists. She gets the best of everything. She's over privaleged and has no idea what it is to struggle etc.
