Hello - let's hope we get a bit more glamour this year and fingers crossed for some tiara watching....

I LOVE that pink blouse on Kate. She looks soft and pretty. Like her hair and make up too.

MotherofPearl · 08/03/2021 19:41

I also like that blouse on Kate, though it would look dreadful on me!

Eaumyword · 08/03/2021 19:48

Same here! I'd look very 1970's secretary!
It's Boden - I've just seen on Facebook. Top marks for British and affordable but still not tempted for me, it needs tall, slim and elegant, not short and dumpy me!Grin

RomainingCalm · 08/03/2021 22:06

Still not a huge fan of the pussy bow blouses but yes, it suits Kate and would look terrible on me.

Not surprisingly it's sold out on the Boden website but I did come across this one that I think Kate would look great in if she's reading this.

The pink Boden blouse is now out of stock, not surprising.
Apparently Kate shares or gives the Boden clothes to her DM & DSis to wear or it may be the other way round. Good idea either way!

Changing subject I wonder what M&H's new baby girl will be called?
I don't think anyone guessed Archie's name. (Which I like)

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 08/03/2021 22:15

I thought that too Romaining & would like to see in this one Kate too.

Sorry a bit garbled there, I would like to see Kate in this Boden Lilian top too.

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 08/03/2021 22:43

Love the same three Tracy raker, also the red/wine leather skirt and jumper combo and (was it givenchy?) see throughish skirt in Oz? If I'd to pick one I'd go with that blue Cape dress as the shade is fab on her.

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 08/03/2021 23:20

Beaker! Confused

frugalkitty · 09/03/2021 08:16

I hope they don't call her Diana, it's fine for a middle name but would be more a burden as a first name I think. I don't suppose they feel obliged to go for a suitably 'royal' name either given their obvious distain for the monarchy, so I'm going with a modern name like Willow.

RomainingCalm · 09/03/2021 09:52

Read that too quickly and thought 'Beaker' was a suggestion for a baby name... Blush

I do hope they don't go with Diana as a first name - there's still too much history and emotion associated with it.

Given that they chose Archie I wonder whether they might go for a more modern twist on a traditional name - Eliza or Beth for example.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 09/03/2021 12:02

I hear on good authority that Tracy is a front runner for a first name!

I think they will go with Daisy. Archie and Daisy sound really nice together.

I had a thought that they could call her Artemis - the Greek counterpart to Diana. They could shorten it to Artie! Archie and Artie. I agree Diana is too loaded, the poor lamb would have a weight of expectation. (she'd be Lady Diana, then Princess Diana...)

Yes Artemis would be a beautiful name & I love Athena & Ariana too.
On a thread yonks ago under a different username I was the only one who said Harper for Harper Beckham. Maybe I inspired VB Grin

JollyGreenGiantess · 09/03/2021 17:22

I can’t believe our considered critiques of Meg’s outfits didn’t get a shout out on the interview.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 09/03/2021 17:28

Yes Megs could have said 'The Royal Style & Beauty MNetters are fab.
But obviously to remain incognito she couldn't but she may have said 'naice','cutted up pear' or 'glue'
I haven't seen the interview so who knows.

Anyway the photo of her, Harry , Archie & baby bump was lovely.

Don't know for a girl maybe Tracy or Maria/Mairie 😂

I reckon a tribute to Philip's mum if a girl for Zara. So Alice

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 09/03/2021 21:49

That would be nice. I also love the name Olga. That was Philip's paternal grandmother's name & she was originally a Russian Grand Duchess (granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I ) before she came Queen of The Hellenes.
Philip is a mix of Danish, German & Russian. More Royal than HMQ with his ancestry!
