This is a Royal Family thread (So you can avoid if you wish)

I agree. She is a natural and I thought her speech wasn't quite so 'plummy' I bet she was nervous.

Good for Britain I think.

I do too!

Agreed Jofur
The woman seems a complete natural doing a job she was not born into.

Good point, johnanna. And she is so likeable!

Yes, she seems perfect for the job

Fabulous dress. She looks amazing.

And so cool-looking in what must have been great heat.

Does that mean any negative comments are banned? I don't mind as long as I know.

Thanks JO4 altho' not a huge fan of the older members of the Royal Family, I do think that the 'young 'uns' are far more in touch!

She's a really good role model in every way.

I think Kate is even bonnier when she puts her hair up. Makes her look distinguished

Sadly the French paparazzi don't know when to stop

Sorry here's the link

You'd think the royals would have understood about the depradations of paparazzi by now. If I were Kate (thank gods I'm not), I wouldn't go outside topless even on private land because of what paparazzi are known to be like.

Queenie wouldn't do such a thing. Not that I'm suggesting she'd want to, but she wouldn't even if she did want to. She keeps her private life completely private.

The younguns could learn a thing or two from her.

My first thought was that maybe it was unwise to take her top off outside, knowing there might be some reptile up a tree somewhere with a long lens. Then I thought, anyone, however high profile, is entitled to assume they are private in a private place. Harry is different because he was in an hotel in a large group of people he didn't know. I thought the French had laws against this?

Was it Closer magazine that published the picture of her with her skirt blowing up at the back, showing her pants?

When in France - Beware Closer mag!

Nice, I like it. Great photos. Not sure about the 'bodice' of the dress - LOL that belongs on the funny old saying thread. But they're a great couple.

Maybe she should have thought about this but what a shame. We have several threads which mention the ways people find to be nasty but I really couldn't do the job these paps do. How can they look at themselves in the mirror?

Must hasten to add, I'm replying to the original post ...

I think she's pregnant.

The belt on that pleated skirt dress seems to sit just a little above the waistline.

The bodice on the dress reminded me of the "headlights" on the wedding dress. Same designer!

Bags! 'thank gods'?

I don't think she's pregnant. Not yet.

There's more than one, nag – well, so we're told .

What I want to know is why isn't she pregnant yet?
