Ham pr disasters 46! …NATO nuisance and surprise appearances abound!

[jeffgoldblum]

the Discussion continues! , we are still interested and still not bored 😁

Meghan says she loves fashion, but in reality only wants to be able to show off associations with high calibre brands like Dior. (Or not, given that fashion houses aren’t daft). As with so many other things, she hasn’t done any homework. She hasn’t ever bothered to study clothes and design and understand how to dress. I actually find it frustrating that an attractive woman with resources most of us can only dream of, makes such a horlicks of picking an outfit.

Short people - and I am one - have mostly worked out that contrasting footwear, such as white plimsolls with black jeans makes you look shorter. It doesn’t help that she picks tall women such as Diana as her muses when her body is different.

Ironically, I suspect Camilla is far less bothered about clothes, and happiest when dressed for riding and dog walking, but she has done the work to know what is required when on duty.

...but, but.. she was never allowed to wear colours when a working royal? Wasn't she forced to wear beige?

Ha ha @bluegreygreen and @MrsFinkelstein - only knowing you from MN posts I can't think of two people less likely to be banned or blocked (well two amongst others to be fair). But it's her twix and she can take the jumpers for goalposts home if she wants to .
Anyway I hope you have both reflected very seriously on your behaviour whilst sitting on the Naughty Step - and just laughed 💐

She wore more colours as a working royal than she ever has done since, I think!

It's not just that she doesn't choose styles that suit her, she doesn't show the clothes she does wear to their best advantage. They so often don't fit well and they're creased. Not how a big fashion name wants their clothes to be photographed.

What I want to know about the staged pub lunch is what name did they book under? Mr Mischief? The Sussexes? The Duke and Duchess of Sussex? 😂

William is 6' 3"

Harry's height has varied over the years 😉Some sites put him at 6' 2" - which I think is incorrect. William is clearly much taller even if you could from the top of Harry's (previously) bouffant hair.

It's also hard to tell as after he met Meghan - Harry started wearing those "lift" shoes with the high heels to make him appear taller. You can see the difference between their appearances at Pippa's (2017) and C&C's (2005) weddings where William is clearly much taller and the unveiling of the Diana memorial in 2021 where Harry has suddenly "grown"

Harry probably resents the fact that it is another instance where William "got more"

That Economist review is funny!

Although Camilla frequently looks very stylish and lovely, I think those plain zip-fronted dresses that she has in several colours looked awful. Perhaps not in the stills I can find, but in videos.
Then again I could say the same of some of Catherine's dresses a few years ago. I think they were just barely knee length and a-line. Presumably someone thought they were nice though.
Sorry, nothing particular to say about H&M in this one. I promise I will next time.

Camilla is 79, and she has joint problems. I really think, for her circumstances, she often looks really stylish.
She's not 30, 5' 10" and a size 8.

They may have, but I get the impression that they don't actually listen to advice, or at least advice they don't want to hear and/or that doesn't support what they want to do.

People online tracked down the ugly light brown "elevator" shoes he wore the the Diana statue unveiling that made him taller

Sometimes he just goes for high heels

What a fool.

I can report that the food is indeed very good. And that our outing was not staged. Nor were our family photographs taken inside said pub, except for the family WhatsApp group. Even more pissed off that we are not going this year, so I could be in situ to report back.

Rach n Henry

Yes, I literally said "Camilla frequently looks very stylish and lovely", not even "for her circumstances", but actually very stylish and lovely.
And yes I know she's not 30 or size 8, we all do. What's your point and how is it related to what I wrote?

Absolutely a fool. That someone of around six foot feels the need to wear raised shoes around his slightly taller older brother is ridiculous. But the psychology is fascinating.

On the special menu:

Starter- word salad

Main- Humble pie

Desserts- just

Blimey, calm down! 😂
I'm just reacting to what appeared to be a criticism of her clothing style. You said her dress style looked "awful". However, your sharp response would indicate that you don't criticise her dress sense completely.
My point is that I think it's much, much harder for older women in the public eye.

So is the consensus that M looking so much smaller is because H is wearing high shoes? Or just that she isn't? Or..?
I have thought that several of her photos looked manipulated, but it would be a strange look to aim for.

Considering Meghan's clothing budget etc I think she's managed to look awful on too many occasions.

It's ALL 'I need to be on the same level and equal to W,' isn't it?

And brown shoes with a blue suit? 😡

Camilla does dress well, and looks comfortable as well. I do think she needs a visit to Rigby and Peller though. Her real strength is hats. Even the hugest somehow don't swallow her.

Dook and Dookess.

The problem is that Harry has been very outspoken about the "generational pain" of his upbringing - being sent off to boarding school at 8, not fitting in at Eton....

It seems odd that having "found freedom" he is keen to recreate elements of the upbringing for his own kids

If H has started highering himself since meeting Meghan, does that mean he is doing so on her instruction? Perhaps she has a fetishish for stacked shoes and makes him prance around naked in them at home, or wear them when he's one of her boys 'running in from the yard for my bacon'. Apologies to anyone about to eat lunch.
