I think Kate will turn into a bit of an Anne - I imagine her wearing some of these coats in about 30 years time.

I wonder where her clothes are stored, their new home seems too small.

PissedOffofTiverton1790 · 09/02/2023 17:22

Oh I doubt she stores them at home. Some, of course. But I expect many are catalogued and kept elsewhere - it’s not as if there’s a shortage of storage space! Grin

For those interested.. Eugenie has just put some VERY cute footage of August on Insta for his 2nd birthday... could a threat to thread mascot Charles 😆

I’m imagining a vast bunker and network of tunnels extending for miles under London. The minions traverse it in little golf carts, with a map and supplies for several days in case they get lost. And that’s just the green coat section 😂

The Royal Wardrobe for Her Maj was a floor at Buckingham Palace, IIRC from Angela's book.

Maireas · 09/02/2023 18:43

Diana needed more space for clothes at KP, so took over the staff sitting room as a walk in wardrobe. I don't imagine that was popular.

I bet it wasn’t! They aren’t great to their staff, are they…

"frugal kitty likes an Erdem dress" shocker!!! It pains me to say it, but I rather like that Erdem on Amalia. Makes me feel a bit peculiar writing that 😂

Spudlet · 09/02/2023 18:47

@frugalkitty Actually, I quite like it too. Perhaps we should go and have a quiet sit down and a cup of tea until the feeling goes away…

LadyEloise1 · 09/02/2023 18:48

Oh @Spudlet - the golf cart, getting lost, miles underground and all for green coats 😂
You are bold !

Who are you and what have you done with the real @frugalkitty, who always scornfully likens Erdem to the hated Per Una?!

He looks like his grandfather!

That Dutch trip seemed to go on forever. Poor Amalia, it did look like hard work.

justasking111 · 09/02/2023 21:05

Just caught the end of this Margaret two parter, presuming that you could watch it on I player I've downloaded it. Anne Tennant is sweet in it

Still going on I think. Here's a picture of them today. It's a 2 week tour!

I like Max's dress a lot.

Oh, I love Max’s blue and white dress! It’s a Ukrainian dress, too (pricey!)

This was the dress under the brown coat today.

Not my photo but was on our local FB page. No advance notice they were coming locally otherwise I’d have nipped down to Events Square. Dh got stuck behind the cavalcade though 🤣

There’s also a very cute video of Kate doing the Hokey Cokey with the toddler group they visited

KillingMeDeftly · 09/02/2023 22:24

Wow, how tiny does Kate's waist look there? That shade of red really suits her.

William in his usual uniform and is that an attempt at a combover? Surely not??Confused

gluenotsoup · 09/02/2023 23:31

😬I hope not.. quick, get the clippers out

AdaColeman · 10/02/2023 02:07

Charles is off to France next month, on his first state visit as King.

Immediately afterwards, he will go to Germany where he will address the Bundestag, the first time a British ruling monarch has done this.

So it should all be very interesting!

KillingMeDeftly · 10/02/2023 07:21

I imagine Charles speaks fluent German?

frugalkitty · 10/02/2023 08:23

@MotherofPearl to be fair, it could pass as a Per Una dress......
