I thought they looked lovely today. Is their improved fashion sense down to their husband’s influence and not their mothers now?

She’s married to Freddie Windsor who is Prince and Princess Michael’s son.

I think all the ladies looked lovely. Camilla looked smart and appropriate as usual but I do wonder why her dresses always seem a little large around her waist? She seems quite shapeless but I thought she had quite a trim figure from all the horse riding. Am I completely wrong?

I thought the booing of Boris in extremely bad taste, as were the animal rights protestors lying down on the parade. As people we have to agree to differ and not spoil occasions to get a point across.
Thought Kate looked amazing. Pity M is glued to H hand in order to walk on those heels, it looks ridiculous. Most couples hold hands whilst out but not an occasion as yesterday.

It was quite inappropriate for H&M to hold hands in the cathedral. Not respectful. And if you notice, Kate and Camilla both observed the correct dress code for a lady and carried their gloves, whilst Meghan kept her gloves on.

Come on now. Here’s a picture of Beatrice and Eugenie both wearing no gloves at all, and holding their husbands’ hands. There are other pictures too, so it’s not just because they were climbing stairs. Are they beyond the pale altogether?

We really really need to move on from this nonsense gloves and holding hands.

The Princess Royal kept her gloves on as well.

And the Queen always has her gloves on.

Why? It’s quite interesting.

Re the hand holding. It’s the younger ones who hold hands, you never see Anne or Sophie grabbing their husband’s hands, or rubbing their back.

Well, maybe a touch of Voltarol at the end of a hard day’s riding, but that would be Tim rubbing Anne’s back I suppose.

I wondered why Zara and Peter were relegated to the team bus when all the other grandchildren arrived in big cars. Mike apparently has been wearing his wife's hats in photos on Instagram.

Yes they post a photo of him in Zara’s hat after every Royal occasion, and they normally hold hands.

There are numerous photos of William & Catherine holding hands.

I hold my husbands hand. I hadn't realised it was so controversial until I read the escape to the country threads and I actually live in the country

Oh no because they are not Meghan !!

Wasn't what Megan wore yesterday - the white coat-dress - very similar to what Kate wore the day before, or did my eyes deceive me?

Perhaps Catherine lent it to her?

?

It was nothing like it ! For a start Kate’s was very white and Meghans was more “ecru” or “ivory”

Whitewavemark2 Sat 04-Jun-22 15:37:09

Different designers. One is Dior and the other Alexander McQueen.

I don't understand the gloves thing. I just looked on the bbc website and meghan is carrying her gloves confused

I read that Meghan’s outfit was ‘lilac’, my favourite colour.

But it looked white or ivory or cream on the tv.

Calendargirl Sat 04-Jun-22 16:05:43

Also, why carry gloves if you’re not planning on wearing them?

Just something else to bother about, along with your handbag, glasses, phone, tissues, money for the collection…..

RichmondPark Sat 04-Jun-22 16:08:11

Beatrice and Eugenie have always had their own individual style and nowadays seem more mature and comfortable in their own skin. I always like to see how they dress, much more interesting than just following the crowd. Good for them.

JaneJudge Sat 04-Jun-22 16:09:04

Oh it like the blue/cream dress thing!

yes and paracetamol, bottle of water, indigestion tablets and small sanitiser gel. Plus some receipts and a half eaten sweet

Very Non-U if you live in the country.

We take no notice, we hold each other up!

If I carried mine I'd be sure to drop one.
Then I couldn't say thank you to anyone who picked it up because that's bad luck.

Then I would get shredded in the media ?

RichmondPark Sat 04-Jun-22 16:28:18

It's a surprise to me that people still give a hoot about 'the correct dress code for ladies'.

With so much else to worry about surely it would make sense to have your gloves on strings through the arms of your coat.

Parsley3 Sat 04-Jun-22 16:28:50

Correct dress code? How ridiculous.
