The green dress is a different green in every photo I've seen.. and different again on the news last night. Goodness knows what it was like in real life.. probably even more lovely than it looked in pics

She is indeed very slim.. but she's also looks strong, healthy and fit. In fact probably nearer 'normal' than most of us.

KillingMeDeftly · 04/12/2022 11:15

I agree @CliffsofMohair, they're already touting her as Princess Anne 2.0 while George is the serious and sensitive type and Louis is cheeky Harry 2.0.

But we have no idea what they're like really!

Peasepuddingbloodycold · 04/12/2022 11:39

I agree, I think discussion of the children, especially in the press, should be a no-go.

Maireas · 04/12/2022 11:42

Poor Charlotte. Only 7 years old, and already people are attributing characteristics to her, not only that - they're the familiar anti feminist kind (she's bossy, bullying, too assertive, controlling).
Leave her be.

She isn’t bossy in my view (horrible term anyway and only ever applied to girls/women). But she’s clearly got that personality type and nothing wrong with that. However I do agree no need for the media to create narratives. I possibly shouldn’t have made that (jokey and affectionate) comment.

TheTantrumoftheToddlerIsThere · 04/12/2022 12:07

The royal boards have gone crazy so I’m staying over here for a bit!

I’m looking forward to seeing some of Meghan’s ‘at home’ style from the Netflix series!

Maireas · 04/12/2022 12:11

This is style and beauty - other threads on other boards are available. As pp have said, let's carry on with the interesting, humorous and witty responses to outfits and general style. For ages, this has been a really nice thread for those reasons. I know we sometimes get off track, but it's never unkind. 😊

@TheTantrumoftheToddlerIsThere yes, I'm expecting lots of cosy cashmere sweaters and interiors out of a Nancy Myers film.

megletthesecond · 04/12/2022 12:13

I don't think Kate is slim just to look good. As she's a terrorist target I wouldn't be surprised if she is literally fighting fit and includes a martial art in her schedule.

KillingMeDeftly · 04/12/2022 12:14

Did anyone spot this wedding photo from the H&M trailer? Complete with Mike Tindall doing the hand jive in the background!

I had Three sons so imagine my amusement watching my two granddaughters organising everyone. They're adorable. And I don't have to worry about the difficult years.

TangledWebofMincemeatDeception · 04/12/2022 12:17

Yes it’s a great photo. So much promise...

Anyway. I need to scroll back and find Charlene/Charlotte outfits. Especially the coat - I adore a great coat!

MarshaMelrose · 04/12/2022 12:18

CliffsofMohair · 04/12/2022 11:07

Interesting how the media are crafting the ‘bossy Charlotte’ narrative though. Her brother could be far more bossy as king in waiting!

I think she's gorgeous. She knows her own mind and is happy to share it. 😄 Makes me smile thinking about her.

I thought that was maybe David Cameron too to the right of what may be Cams' head.
If it is her then loving the sparkly dress.

This pic was also great for showing the impeccable fit of Meghan's dress too

KillingMeDeftly · 04/12/2022 12:31

That does look a bit like him @paradyning. And could that be Beatrice behind Harry?

TangledWebofMincemeatDeception · 04/12/2022 12:31

Yes she looked fantastic in that dress. And the ring!!

Loving the guess the guest game. I believe Zara is pictured too.

KillingMeDeftly · 04/12/2022 12:32

Yes, and kudos to Zara for staying up for the party as she was about 9 months pregnant at the time!

themessygarden · 04/12/2022 12:37

I loved that 2nd wedding dress that Meghan wore, would love to see a lot more photos of it,

paradyning · 04/12/2022 12:55

Yea good spot @KillingMeDeftly

TangledWebofMincemeatDeception · 04/12/2022 12:57

@KillingMeDeftly She probably figured she'd be just as comfortable standing up all night (with the aid of that athletic core and those horse-riding thighs/hips/bum) as she could ever have been trying to sleep, at that stage...

Also loving the sparkling dress in the background!

I’m pretty sure it’s just to look good 😂

KillingMeDeftly · 04/12/2022 13:37

Now I'm imagining Kate as some sort of highly trained undercover MI5 agent like Jennifer Garner in Alias!

TheTantrumoftheToddlerIsThere · 04/12/2022 13:41

Another one who loved Meghan’s reception dress over the actual ceremony dress. Especially with that topaz ring accompanying it.

In contrast I loved Kate’s actual ceremony dress but was underwhelmed by the reception dress and I really didn’t like the fur shrug (or whatever it was) that went over it.

A bit like Wax moonlighting as an airline pilot!

Papergirl1968 · 04/12/2022 13:58

I usually lurk without posting but I do love this dress Zara is wearing in Australia.
