Have worn a white outfit to the Passchendaele memorial service ?

I know there are far more important things in the world and usually I wouldn't give a flying.... about any royals outfit but I felt this was wholly inapropriate on this occasion.

I'm sure she took advice on what to wear, and I thought she looked elegant. I like the fact that she had her hair up, so much more appropriate for the occasion. Prince Charles looked a mess, wearing an ill-fitting crumpled suit. It was as if he couldn't be bothered to make an effort to look smart.

Just seen some pictures. I think it's ridiculous that women have to curtsey to royalty. The picture of the Prime Minister doing so (to William, I think) makes her look even more physically awkward than she usually does. It might look allright eere she wearing Victorian dress, but in modern clothes it just looks silly.

And unnecessarily submissive. She is William's and the Queen's equal when all's said and done, as are we all.

I agree baggs but I'm not sure they have to do so any more, do they?

I'm not comparing Charles and Kate Annie, if that's what you meant, just saying that she looked good and he looked a mess!

Glad I'm not in the public eye for folk to dissect my choice of outfit, state of awkwardness, or anything else. Must be horrible. sad

Yes, they do kitty.

I hate all this "royal" crap . Who are they ? Really? I have more respect for the prime minister than I ever could for these people who live in a cuckoo world of wealth and privilege . Also why does Charles wear so many medals ? What are they ? For sports days ? Why does Kate now talk with a plum in her mouth? She didn't before ?
All these questions and so many more .......

I think she skyways seems to get it right with her clothes, do funny have a problem with white, however wish she would put on a few pounds, does she never eat.

As usual, I typed but didn't check, old habits when a keyboard didn't alter what you wrote. Should have been, always got it right and do not have a probkem. Apologies.

According to newspaper reports Kate's outfit was dove grey and not white.

I thought Kate looked beautifully elegant.
Charles however - my comment to my dh was that Charles looked like he'd borrowed that suit from the back of someone's wardrobe.
