Pedro Sanchez is a handsome man but he's another one who needs the number for Felipe's tailor.

Victoria and Daniel anre officially over here for a defence-based visit, but took time to do the traditional “Royals pull a pint” photo too.

One thing that I always notice whenever I see royals lined up for a formal photo or waiting in line for something is that they always stand with their arms hanging down by their sides. It must get really uncomfortable. Is there special "standing for a royal photo" training course that they all do? I suppose it would look a bit messy if there were variations of "hands behind the back" or "clasping hands in front" (looking like you're in a free kick wall!). I would love to see someone idly standing with the hands in their pockets for one of these photos Grin

I think Beatrice looks stunning, her hair is beautiful. The outfit looks very similar to what she wore to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. She really has found her style in recent years, I think her and Edo make for quite the glamorous couple.

I like Eugenie’s dress I think the style suits her figure.

Jury is out on Sarah’s cold shoulder dress and I’m not keen on Zara’s choice.

I never like a tie belt. Im no fashionista though.

chesterelly1 · 30/11/2023 09:03

Agree Beatrice and Eugenie have nailed it there. Not a fan of a cold shoulder so it's a no from me for Fergie, but does she have silver trainers on? As for Zara, I think the style of dress and the fabric are just too heavy for her.

gluenotsoup · 30/11/2023 09:37

Bea and Ed look fabulous. I love that outfit, I’m pretty sure she’s worn it before and Kate has the same? I think. It just suits her, she’s looking amazing lately. Eug also looks great, the design is flattering, the sleeves slightly too long. Her stance reminds me of Meghan, maybe she’s giving her tips😆.
Sarah and Zara both look good, but Bea steals the show for me.

justasking111 · 30/11/2023 09:53

I think Fergie is having problems with her, back, hips, knees and or feet. Take your pick. Hence the slippers, trainers. I'm in a similar boat.

Eaumyword · 30/11/2023 09:53

Agree Bea looks fantastic. The black highlights her hair so beautifully and her silhouette is stunning. Not keen on the other outfits though.

KillingMeDeftly · 30/11/2023 11:13

That's the best I've seen Eugenie look lately and Beatrice really has come a long way since the hat at W&K's wedding!

Zara's dress is a bit unfortunate in that the pattern makes it look like it's transparent.

Sophie looking a bit Max in Colombia.

I think Catherine looks beautiful. The green suits her

Meghan green dare I say

Eaumyword · 30/11/2023 12:37

Kate looking gorgeous and immaculate as ever.
Had to double take at Soph - you're right @KillingMeDeftly, she's channeling Max vibes there!

Indeed! I think she has a couple of dresses in that style but in different colours. Emilia Wickstead?

paradyning · 30/11/2023 14:58

It looks like it. That is a great colour on her.

justasking111 · 30/11/2023 15:10

Sophie is working her wedges off, Columbia this week.

I understand that William wants him or Kate home every day after school. But when I see Anne, duchess of Gloucester slogging away as pensioners I'll be honest I'm grinding my teeth. Perhaps things will change in a few years. But Edward and Sophie visited our school a number of years ago, and my place of work in Wales too.. no way did either of them make the school run on either of those days.

GrouchyKiwi · 30/11/2023 15:38

I love that photo of Sophie. She looks beautiful.

Lovely dress on Kate too. Not a fan of CPV's jacket.

I can't begrudge Kate & William being there for their children. I'd rather they spent the time now making sure they're well-adjusted to the lives they'll lead in the future than have drama continue for another generation. They're in a unique position compared with the other children in our royal family and I think it's important that care is taken.

Really. I think Sophie has done a good job with her children as did Anne while beavering away quietly.

GrouchyKiwi · 30/11/2023 15:45

And I agree, but their children are not the heir to the throne and his siblings, so it's a different situation.

May I add hands clasped as opposed to hanging at their sides as was commented on previously on W and K.

whiteshutters · 30/11/2023 16:00

Wow Sophie looking fabulous - I think some people suit very dressed up as in formal and Sophie isn't one of them. It's a hard line to get right for any Royals as to being formal but not too old fashioned.

Sidebeforeself · 30/11/2023 16:02

Isn’t it the Royal variety performance tonight? Expecting Kate will be extra conscious of eyes on her given the “ revelation “ today
