Trump State Visit

[MrsLeonFarrell]

A space for thoughts.

My first is that being at Windsor might make it easier to host a foreign leader. Which then begs the question as to whether in the modern age we really need Buckingham Palace. None of the royals like living there and I bet you'd make a fortune hiring it out for events and tourists.

Whilst i find Catherine's coat dresses a little boring it makes sense to have a sort of uniform.

I like how you deflect when I told you that Sussex Squad named themselves and that there’s no other official squad to rival them 🤣

DARVO

So getting back to Trump's state visit - Trump, Charles and Keir all have one thing in common - Epstein! Oh to be a fly on the wall in either Windsor or Chequers.

I mean, it’s fine that they chose that name.

thats still childish.

Was KS a friend of Epstein’s? Really? Didn’t know that. What’s your source?

Keir has Peter Mandelson. Charles has Andrew. And of course Trump has the personal connection.

When it leaks into the media and forces a mother of three to reveal a diagnosis she wasn’t ready to share, then yes, I do.

Mandelson

Oh that's interesting. I thought the belt colour was weird as well.

And then I wondered if she originally wanted to wear a blue one... 🇺🇦

She could have chosen any dress she liked, and she chose that particular striking yellow.

And she outright wrote to Putin a so-called "peace letter" about the need to protect children. (The letter's convoluted and opaque, but the act of sending it does look like a criticism of Russia's bombing of Ukraine and abduction of Ukrainian children.)

Supposedly she may to some extent have turned Trump around when he was brown-nosing Putin. He's quoted as saying, "I go home, I tell the first lady: 'I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation,'" Trump said. "She said: 'Oh really? Another city was just hit.'"

Now I'm imagining her prepping the outfit before coming here, and someone seeing the blue belt and saying, "Don't you dare!"

Why does Kate’s sash go the opposite direction to that of Charles, Camilla & William? Is it something to do with status?

The belt made it look like a cheap two piece though. Really odd outfit choice

Thanks for clarifying the comment was nothing to do with me. 👍

I'm surprised to find myself quite impressed by the Royal Family and by the amount of pomp and splendour. Kate looked amazing last night. God, I'm such a sap!

What a lot of nonsense. There is no campaign....why would there be. I suppose I just feel uncomfortable around propaganda.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

I once said I didn't like a particular dress Kate was wearing and I was accused of being Sussex Squad.

I made a huge error on the board about Royal style saying I didn't like Kate's style & it was a shame as she has such a high profile etc. The crazies came for me! 😆

I think the outfit she is wearing today is utterly dreadful, one of the worse I've seen. Who on earth thought that was a good option!

I didn't see much but the table looked amazing. I hope it keeps Trump sweet!

According to him. He is obese. He is clearly struggling with his health. He eats a diet of McDonald’s and coke. He is not a healthy man.

Well he's got to 80!

Catherine’s outfit today is dreadful, is there some scout link I may have missed!

She's obviously wearing a scout themed outfit for visiting the scouts! Melania looks genuinely delighted, lovely photos.

Ohhh, but now I look at this picture...
🇺🇦

Oh please. She looks awful

She's obviously wearing a scout themed outfit for visiting the scouts!

I can't tell if this a joke or not?!

Melania looks genuinely delighted, lovely photos.

She looks good, brave to don pale trousers around kids.

I liked Melanias white trouser and belted jacket

Kate's, well, all I'll say is...I am not a fan of a pussy bow

Melania looks like a whole different person!

Maybe it's being out of the vicinity of the 🍊 one
