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.

Re Catherine and Camila wearing matching coats- It is interesting that the wider family did used to be quite strict about not wearing the same colour as the late Queen but that rule seems to have been relaxed now, not sure if it’s less respect for Camila or just she doesn’t care as much. (I can easily imagine her telling them all to wear whatever they want.)

years ago it was very clear all the Royals walked to the church in their hierarchy- now they still kept the King and Queen first then Prince and Princess of Wales & family, but after that it was more of a relaxed jumble with family walking along chatting.

Could be reading too much into all this but it does seem that Charles is much more relaxed than his mother/has different priorities.

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

Yes, when they don't actually look unwell, and just look as they normally do.

MerryMaker · 25/12/2024 21:57

@MrsFinkelstein Edward looks very very thin.

EmeraldRoulette · 25/12/2024 21:58

@fedup33 they look fine

maybe you prefer a heavier hand with the blusher? But they look fine!

@MrsFinkelstein Edward looks very very thin.

He's looked that way for at least the last 5yrs.

sunsettosunrise · 25/12/2024 22:13

Edward looks more like George VI as he gets older. He's lost some weight but it might be down to grief, he lost both his parents in 18 months and he is quite a sensitive soul. A new and tailored coat might be a good investment though.

MonickerMonica · 25/12/2024 22:17

I know Princes George and Lois and their sister have to do these duties as their futures are determined and grooming must start at an early age but I do wonder if when they return home after these public parades they're allowed to change into joggers and just let rip and be normal(ish) children . I hope so. Edward's dresser should encourage a smaller size of overcoat. Just saying 🤔

WalterdelaMare · 25/12/2024 22:17

I only saw Kate and Zara. I’m not interested in any of the others. But I thought they looked great. Kate looks to be in rude health.

Endofyear · 25/12/2024 22:32

Charles is having cancer treatment (which is usually pretty brutal) and Camilla has been ill with that horrible flu/chest infection so not surprised they're looking a bit rough!

Sunholidays · 25/12/2024 22:35

The royal family are pretty anti disabled.

This is not true.

Blondiney · 25/12/2024 22:39

People actually say, “gosh”? 🤭

This is not true.

They all refuse to use any aids for disabled people using instead umbrellas and gold carts.

AmazingGraze · 25/12/2024 22:45

I think Kate looks genuinely happy and well. KC looks pretty terrible as is to be expected I suppose. He looks much older than he is. I do wonder why Edward is so thin.

Your point being?

MerryMaker · 25/12/2024 22:49

echt · 25/12/2024 22:47

Your point being?

Because they are anti disabled. They see being seen as disabled as a negative thing.

Who is Sophie? Who is B?

Middlemarch123 · 25/12/2024 23:33

Please be assured that both DD and myself showered before going this morning! Regarding the colour green worn by Kate and Camilla, I haven’t seen photos or news coverage, but they were very different shades of green. Kate’s was very vibrant, Camilla’s coat muted.
Honestly, some of the comments here are bonkers, they recognised a lot of people in the crowd, they were friendly and relaxed, they took time to chat with the ‘great unwashed’ and their collective royal noses didn’t recoil in horror!
I’ve seen some of them over the years locally and at a nearby beach. They are left alone, their privacy is respected. I can understand people who are staunch supporters defending them, but I don’t understand why people who dislike them taking so much time and effort to pick holes in them. Sad.

Camilla isn't the sovereign though. Was anyone wearing the same colour as Charles? I imagine the reason for the rule was so the monarch would stand out, especially given QEII was a smaller woman.

LBFseBrom · 26/12/2024 02:44

They look fine to me, I've just had a sift through the photos.

BruFord · 26/12/2024 03:21

I agree that Camilla and Charles look frail compared with the Queen and Prince Philip at a similar age. I don’t think either of them will make it into their 90’s. But they looked OK, as did the others.

myrtleWilson · 25/12/2024 20:24

@FatFiatMultiplaWhopper Kate hasnt confirmed she's cancer free. Any cancer patient will know that scans remain a traumatic part of the journey for sevreral years

Yes she has, in that godawful video she released.

likeafishneedsabike · 25/12/2024 20:35

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.

Looks to me like trouble in paradise for W&K.

On that Royal feed upthread her does not engage with her at all, only and deliberately with the children.

He also works the crowd with the children - that will have been planned.

He never catches her eye.

Something is definitely up there.

Livelovebehappy · 25/12/2024 21:06

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.

Clearly you see something different from the op.

It does not make you correct though.

Nor the op mind.

Everyone sees from where they are standing.

CallMeFlo · 26/12/2024 04:18

What absolute rubbish. There's several photos where they're smiling at each other. Even if there weren't big fucking deal. They're out at a family occasion, kids there & dealing with all the public.

Trouble in paradise - bore off

HelpMeGetThrough · 26/12/2024 05:20

Janedoe82 · 25/12/2024 19:37

I don’t think William looks great

He probably got leathered the night before.
