Indeed. And I think there have been a lot of positive comments on here about Leti and Princess Caroline's decision to embrace the grey. I agree: let's leave the body shaming to the tabloids.

Justkeeppedaling · 09/05/2022 14:36

Sorry everyone - I hadn't realised I was "age shaming".

KillingMeDeftly · 09/05/2022 15:56

I don't think you were, it was the Fail up to their usual antics!

Maireas · 09/05/2022 16:17

@Justkeeppedaling - it's not you, it's the Daily Mail. I agree, Deftly, and I notice there are negative headlines again today.

I also wasn’t talking about your post @Justkeeppedaling , or indeed any posts on these threads. The Daily Mail, its commentators and various other corners of the internet are terrible for publishing the most unflattering photos they can find of various royals in order to crow over their crows feet (or any other visible signs of ageing) and it just seems really inane to me.

I’d happily look askance at a royal for not unpicking the box pleat in the back vent of their jacket, but never for the state of their skin.😀

Maireas · 09/05/2022 16:35

Yes, @Serenster - we've often commented on Harry's desert boots or William's fleeces, but it's different to commenting on baldness or physique in a negative way. It's just so cruel and unnecessary. Comment on his actions, fine, but body shaming, no.

Phew! Thanks.
I kinda wish I hadn't posted the photos now though Blush

Maireas · 09/05/2022 16:46

Don't worry about it! Try to find some pictures of Max in a Pringle hat, or Cams in her Dubarry boots! 😉

Sophie and Edward are in the Channel Islands, at the Liberation celebrations. Here's Sophie dancing with Judge Rinder at a tea dance. I really like the green dress, it's a nice change from the florals.
I know she's a big Strictly fan - I saw her and Louise in the audience of one show.

Sophie and Robert Rinder dancing together is delightful! Lovely green dress too (willing to bet that’s from Suzannah).

PeasInOurTime · 09/05/2022 21:28

I really like Sophie’s green dress - she looked to be having a great time!

PeasInOurTime · 09/05/2022 21:30

Regular lurker btw - I’ve just namechanged so will need to reclaim my tiara at some point 😱

GrouchyKiwi · 09/05/2022 21:38

Sophie's green dress is lovely. Lots of good photos from their Channel Islands visits.

AdaColeman · 09/05/2022 21:51

I’ve only seen some stills of Sophie dancing but she looks great! Absolutely super green dress, and fab dance moves, lots of arms in opposition, Martha Graham would be proud! Fantastic stuff!

All quite a contrast to their rather flat Caribbean tour.

RockaLock · 09/05/2022 21:56

Sophie looks as though she's having a whale of a time! And that is a beautiful dress.

Some more lovely photos of the gorgeous Prince Charles (no, not that Prince Charles!) I love the way that his parents always appear utterly besotted with him.

He's a cutie with those chubby cheeks!

I love Sophie's green dress. I think I read somewhere that the Wessexes sometimes watch Strictly with the Queen. I get a bit lost on their houses but I'm sure they said they often live close so are able to pop round to see Granny for the evening.

Maireas · 10/05/2022 05:37

What gorgeous pictures! He is so cute.

😂😂 Yes, me too.

I know we're not supposed to quote other threads (this is from "most unpleasant celebs") but I thought this would be kind of relevant and might make you smile...

"BF has worked in and around the royal family for years, he said Camilla is everyone's favourite because she is hilarious, does brilliant impersonations of the rest of the family, and is generous with her cigarettes.
He also said Catherine has to be practically shot out of a cannon to get her on stage for a speech, poor woman gets very nervous.
He also said Prince Charles is a lovely man and great fun."

It’s gorgeous. It is Suzannah. Love the colour and the swish-iness (if that’s a word)

KillingMeDeftly · 10/05/2022 07:12

@pussycatlickinglollyices I didn't know Camilla still smoked. I can believe she's generous with the cigs though! I also imagine she's a right laugh after a few brandies and has a good line in filthy jokes 😆

A friend of mine has met Kate and said she's the queen of small talk. Apparently very chatty and has to get moved on by officials, lest she spend too long talking to one person. My friend also said she's incredibly tall and slim, but I think we knew that already!

MotherofPearl · 10/05/2022 07:41

That green dress is exactly the right shape on Sophie. I wish she'd wear more of that style and banish the high necks (and florals). The v-neck and belt are so flattering; she looks great. And looks to be a really good dancer!

Ex Lux royal Tessy living her absolute best life with new hubs and baby. At wedding in Morocco.

KillingMeDeftly · 10/05/2022 08:45

Did anyone see Tessy's baby's christening photos? They were a bit odd because her ex and his fiancee were in them too. I can maybe understand inviting them as he's the father of her first 2 children, but having them in photos too? His fiancee doesn't look convinced...
