I'm very partial to a two tone shoe. Mary Janes are easy to slip on and I feel safe in them at the moment. Just bought a pair from John Lewis last week.

Thank you for that link @KiIIingMeDeftly some lovely outfits there even beyond Leti's which is lovely. I love the orange coat tied with the ribbon a few photos down.

I agree completely that Leti's clothes were the wrong length/proportion for a while but now are perfect. Just as I always thought Catherine Wales' clothes during pregnancy were just a bit wrong - the hem at the front would ride up because she was often wearing adjusted non-maternity clothes. Pity because I think she was at her most beautiful when pregnant.

I agree re “….some lovely outfits there even beyond Leti’s……”@Pallisers
The Spanish can be very chic.
I loved the asymmetrical black and white dress.

That green dress is beautiful, I love the neckline.

I like that coat on Kate. I think you need to be tall to pull it off though. Im also pleased to see she has “scuff toe syndrome” in those boots…it always happens to me and usually on first wear!

MrsLeonFarrell · 14/10/2025 17:12

William and Catherine looked good together, often they don't really coordinate.

clipboardz · 14/10/2025 17:17

I dislike the high collars, I find them frumpy

Maireas · 14/10/2025 17:26

I don't like the big patch pockets, but it's a nice shade of green. They both look very country!

The coat is fine but I really dislike the county look so it's a no from me re Kate's second outfit. It's a bit all over the place.

William looks like a history lecturer in that brown blazer!

How very dare you! I've never owned a brown blazer in my life! I'm fact, I never even wear brown...

Oooh are you a royal history expert on Channel 5?

W&K looking good - love their genuine smiles and warmth.
Maybe I'm an outlier as I ❤️ brown! All shades, from cream to darkest brown. Cord trousers and a cosy tonal jumper is the biz in Autumn weather.
Also watch the C5 royal stuff - some of it is tongue in cheek, but also quite interesting!

Apologies if this has already been posted (can't quite believe it got missed!): Maxima in weird and wonderful holey sleeves. Shame about the head-to-toe nude - especially as a colour that contrasted with her skin would have made the most of the sleeves - and I'm not keen on the pocket trim, nevertheless...

I wish c5 would do some European royal stuff too...

She’s looking well coiffed there and has a stonking pendant jewel around her neck. I will be silent about the outfit…

Eaumyword · 15/10/2025 06:50

Love the colour of her outfit and gorgeous hair and makeup - but strange holey sleeves!

smilesy · 15/10/2025 07:11

Goodness me! Max, what can one say? Apart from the fact that the colour does her no favours (nor would it do for anyone in fact) and she looks like she came off worst in an encounter with Edward Scissorhands, it’s really creased 😬. Good job she is wearing her usual beaming smile and her hair looks fab

Maireas · 15/10/2025 07:27

Good sleeve action Max! Like the colour.
