Anyone else feeling somewhat uncomfortable/irritated/slightly shocked at the ridiculous cost of recent outfits worn by Meghan and Kate? I can't get my head round it really, just seems wrong!

Paddyann, you may be taken in by this alleged PR machine making them look superior, not me

I'm looking forward to Friday as well, if only to see where Prince Philip conceals his blunderbuss until he has Fergie in his sights. grin

Do you think he will be there? I would bet he stays at home and they take him back a doggie bag.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gives this one a miss. He's very frail now.

I bet he can still glower at you-know-who though!
I am sure that he is extremely fond of the two daughters though.

I doubt he is well enough now. He didn’t appear anywhere when they were all in Scotland .

If he was there ,as usual it would be all very dignified ,

I'm not anti-monarchy as an institution and agree it gives more stability than a state with a president etc. And I love our Queen, for her strength of personality and sense of duty over all these years.
But I don't like the current media hype about the younger generation, especially Harry and Meghan. And speculation about whether Andrew's daughter's wedding will be televised or not. And how much their clothes cost. Doesn't do them any favours.
