Gosh , they don't look well.

With the exection of Sophis in blue and B's husband, I'm sorry but the Royals look ill and sad. It's a shame.

My only thought was that William looked rather thin. But maybe that’s the way his body reacts to stress. His wife has been very ill so he’s probably been feeling under strain.

Edward does look very pale and very very thin.

It annoys me that Camilla and Charles use umbrellas instead of walking sticks. The royal family are pretty anti disabled.

Quite a few kids near the front that I have no idea who they are.

"Gosh" indeed.

Be off with your knitting.

It's irrational isn't it. I was expecting Kate to wear red as its Christmas.

They all looked well and happy, as far as I could see.

Ok Meghan...

What on earth are you talking about. Have you nothing better to do than write bitchy posts about the royals.

You think it is bitchy to say someone does not look well?

I was at Sandringham this morning, live close by. So went with my DD. They all looked well. William is no thinner than when I’ve seen him before. Kate looked stunning.

I'm no massive royalist but KCIII and the PsOW have both had cancer which will also have been stressful for the whole family and the Queen is recovering from a bad cold/flu. I probably wouldn't look red-carpet fit if I'd been through that.

They all look self conscious and uncomfortable parading up the avenue for the stares of the great unwashed. They look like they cant wait for it to be over and for the performance smiles and nods to be done. Its an unnecessary spectacle of privilege brought live to your living room.

the rewards must be so worth it for them.

This quote here suggests your motivation for your statement. Whenever someone refers the Royal Family as an ‘institution’, they’re anti Royals. The pictures and news visuals today show a happy family as far as I can see.

I think they look much more like normal people than the previous generations and I feel happy for them that they are allowed to be a bit normal like that. I didn't like all the boarding school and no-feelings stuff about the previous generations. I feel glad that they are allowed to be human now.

It is bitchy when someone’s motivation for saying this doesn’t come from a place of concern, but from a place of trying to be critical for the sake of being..critical.

The problem with Edward is that he always wears coats that look much too big for him .

They never look well. Only Catherine, her children, and the Queen ever looked well. The rest are not that attractive , also are genetically inbred historically

arguing how attractive Charles and Camilla have ever been - lol

Its an unnecessary spectacle of privilege brought live to your living room.

No-one is obliged to see it if they don't want to.

And how rude to refer to the people there as 'the great unwashed'. I'm sure Middlemarch 123 and her DD had washed before going there.

No idea what you are talking about. All pictures I have seen they look perfectly ok and happy

He does wear coats that are too big for him. I think to disguise just how thin he is.

They look perfectly OK to me.

They look absolutely fine to me. All smiling and chatting.

Bored kids, aging relatives, and the 40 something's putting on big smiles and pushing through. Sounds like any big family event tbh.

@BashfulClam "They look good for what they have endured this year. I think King Charles has lost weight though as his coat seems a bit too big on him"

If he or his valet thought his coat was too big on him it would have been taken in or a new coat bought. Ffs.

Remember this counts as work for them.

I don't think they look ill, just fed up.

I would look fed up if i was part of their family too.

The Royal family hasn't been the same since the Queen died.
