Royal christening pics

I mentioned dressing like Victoria Beckham gilly

I disagree Annie and think she dresses far older than her years . Who mentioned dressing like VB ?

I am sure they all wear what they wish, yes there are certain standards , hats in church etc, but one thing Megan chooses to do which the windsors do not do, wear black , so obviously they dress as they wish.

As for Kate dressing like a 45 year old, rubbish, she chooses not to hog the limelight so wears less in your face styles, she is not a Victoria Beckham, thank heaven.

I hope she doesn’t, I think she has a great sense of style, and it would be a pity if it was stifled.

I was wondering if Meghan may follow suit.

Best way to explain what I mean is that Diana was the same height, figure ( and age when she died) as Kate, and was the absolute epitome of style. You’ve either got it or you haven’t.

Kate dresses like a woman of 45 . I suppose it is to conform with the firms image .
Let’s hope MM doesn’t follow.

Grndma70s , yes she is tall and slim but still looks dowdy body shape alone does not give a person a sense of style,and Kate dresses as if she were a couple of decades older than she is.

MM's dress has been variously described as 'green', 'muted green' and 'olive green'. Maybe there's something odd about my colour vision, but I'd describe it as ... 'khaki'. Perhaps a tribute to her husband's army career.

All this is so like queenie and Margaret. Margaret was the darling as is Harry, such fun, parties, nightclubs , glamour, her royal duties were mostly ballet and theatre as the army is for harry.

Hope history doesn’t repeat again.

I love to see Kate looking so genuinely happy with William, they seem a lovely family. Doesn't bother me how they dress their children, glad to see a close loving family.

I'm sure they really appreciate having the Middleton family to be with, for some normal life away from the cameras. It must make such a difference.

Meghan won't have that same support close by, which is a shame.

Nanna58, I don’t think Kate could look ‘seriously dowdy’ in a million years. She’s the perfect shape for clothes, very tall and slim, and to me she looks wonderfully elegant whatever she wears.

Firstly, what an adorable picture of of the new prince in the paper today, loved his chuckling face! BUT what a pity his mother looked as if she was dressed for an audition in a Merchant Ivory period drama, seriously dowdy and old fashioned, even by royal standards.

William and Kate went on their first royal tour two months after their marriage . Harry and Megan will come October, five months after their marriage. So hardly thrown in the deep end. Megan has visited the four countries of the UK as did Kate. Attending church and standing on the balcony is’t being thrown in the deep end surely . Let’s not martyr Megan, she hasn’t been forced in at the deep end. And she lived at Kensington Palace for some time before their marriage, several Windsor families live there .

I agree, they were proper "boyfriend and girlfriend" when he proposed, unlike Di and Charles, so not comparable.

I dont understand why MM has MORE royal duties than Kate did? Surely being a bit further away from the crown should let you off the hook a little!

Kate was much better looked after in the early days IMO. Both by her own support system and by the Royal family who didnt really throw her in at the deep end the way they have M.

In love, not in live !

Diana was chosen as a breeding machine . It was clear from the engagement photos that something wasn’t quite right . MM and H seem to be very much in live and have chosen each other . I just hope the firm let her be herself . I loved the way she linked her arm through H’s it seemed so natural .

Diana married a fantasy so was bound to be disappointed. She married a Royal first then thought the romance would come after.... she was nothing like MM. She and Charles didnt even properly date before their pretty much arranged marraige

MM married her boyfriend first and formost, except now she is married to the Royal family. I expect that she was warned about what it would be like but thats not the same as actually doing it.

Shes looking less and less her age and experience as time goes on and more like a lost girl.

Just because we have age & experience under our belts doesnt mean we never end up in over our heads/out of our depths & feeling lost!

I thought she looks looked amazing and showed her own individual sense of style too .

I fear to intrude on this thread, but in the photo in my paper on Monday MM is not holding Harry's arm and is smiling while wearing a dress I would describe as pale sludge rather than green.

Should I interpret the independent stance and the smile as indicating that the poor woman is relishing the prospect of imminent divorce?

Goodness me, she wore a green dress. How very dare she!!??
In some eyes, the poor woman will never get it right, will she?

They are still in their honeymoon period,

Sorry but I can never take this sentence seriously when it refers to a couple who have already lived together.

Why did Megan think she had cause to deflect attention away from Kate? If this is correct it proves she is very self assured .
By not wearing the cream and blue the others wore she certaintly drew attention to herself.

Poor MM, she can't do right for doing wrong. Her choice of dress was I read to avoid deflecting attention away from Kate. They are different women, dress differently, Kate has had years to perfect her "style", MM will in time find her feet & perfect her own style, you cannot compare the two women. As for clinging to Harry, I'm sure he's quite capable of telling her if it's inappropriate. Thought they all looked lovely, Prince George will always be dressed formally for official photos, much more difficult than dressing a little girl. Not sure about Kate's hat but it's growing on me.
