Remember little Mila Seddon who dressed up as a princess when she had tea with Kate back in May? She was at the carol concert today, dressed in dark green with sequins. I think she would approve of those green boots kitty posted! Xmas Smile Xmas Smile

@HeyGirlHeyBoy I agree re Edo and Amalia's hair Smile

Well, I think the boots strike the right balance between elegant and literal.....I stayed away from the ones with bells on, I'm not sure Kate could pull that off if I'm honest Xmas Grin

.......although........???

kitty that takes me right back to my Honor Blackman Avenger boots. I removed all the zip tassels and replaced them with clusters of bells. My poor Mother was horrified! Xmas Grin

Ada sometimes the parents don't get fashion.
However you wouldn't have made a very good Avenger with those noisy boots Xmas Grin 🔔

I think any of those shoes would be good for Kate, Tracy, particularly the ones with Santa. I do think if she's going down the literal dressing route, she should just go for it.

I think it’s a very rare event that the other female royals outshine Kate fashion wise but that’s what has happened here.

It’s not a terrible outfit it’s just very simple and a little bit boring. I much prefer Zara and Eugenie’s outfits and even Beatrice’s just for the colouring.

KillingMeDeftly · 09/12/2021 09:53

I do find the literal dressing endearing in a way but it can also look a bit like a costume rather than clothes.

frugalkitty · 09/12/2021 11:35

Ada that made me chuckle! I'm envious of people who have the legs for anything long boots, I have rugby player legs so I can never find any that fit!

AdaColeman · 09/12/2021 11:53

Tracy strangely enough, I’ve worked in Thames House, the headquarters of MI5! 👀 🕵🏻 👀

I agree - never more so than when she's dressed as a Scout, bless her!

I buy jileon for a family member with rugby player legs

@justasking111
I've just looked up Jileon on The Google, for I too am wide of calf, but they only seem to do wellies and other boots along the wellie theme.

Do they do naice boots too?

frugalkitty · 09/12/2021 18:45

Thanks just I'll investigate!

No other sites do though, they're not cheap, wait for sales.

My DS prop forward 🏉 I get his trousers from SPOKE LONDON again not cheap but they're so well made and last years. He has a thigh problem

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 09/12/2021 23:00

Ada my lips are sealed 🤫😂

I ended up down a Google rabbit hole earlier after reading an article about Princess Anne & her previous boyfriends which led to me to article explaining how Eugenie was related to Jack Brooksbank.
Jack is a half-third cousin twice-removed of Princess Eugenie through Thomas Coke, 2nd Earl of Leicester.
Thomas Coke being the ancestor of the wife of Princess Anne's old boyfriend the late equestrian Richard Meade.
Everyone seems related to everyone.

The Monaco twins are 7 today. Charlene has posted a photo but I don't think she's actually there to celebrate with them.

🥳. 🥳. 🥳
Joyeux anniversaire aux jumeaux!

It’s nice to see them smiling! I hope they have a super day! Gabriella is very like Charlene in that photo.

KillingMeDeftly · 10/12/2021 10:42

Gabriella looks like aunt Stephanie to me! Ah now there was a Princess who lived a colourful life. She's very quiet now but when I was a child I remember her being on the cover of all the gossip magazines!

Love Kate’s dress

@SnottyLottie
Sorry I have to disagree about Eugenie's outfit. I think the cape should have been a bit longer.
Nice photo of the Cambridges

RomainingCalm · 10/12/2021 15:57

Lovely picture of Family Cambridge. I wonder if that was taken during their half term holiday - I can't remember where they went or even whether it was reported.

That's a great dress on Kate. At the risk of sounding just like an elderly relative can't believe how grown up the children look.

RomainingCalm · 10/12/2021 16:01

Just answered my own question. Apparently it was taken in Jordan.
