Royalty Thread #16: the best of times, the worst of times

I do not think the portrait does her justice.

I actually like the bank note of King Charles.

Who is the her you are referring to? I like KC's photo too.

The NY Times reported on the marriage of the Duke of Westminister who is worth about a paltry $13 billion... Prince William attended as an usher but Prince Harry who is a close friend declined the invitation so as not to distract attention.

Gorgeous photo of Kate. I'm glad she feels well enough to come out to the parade - it must be daunting for her, knowing how much extra scrutiny she'll be under.

Hologram, doppelganger, AI?
As for me, this is just My Fair Catherine

That IS a very "Ascot Gavotte" outfit!

 

[canbelto]

Not a fan of the dress, it’s kind of mumsy looking, but glad to see Kate out and about again.

Great to see her looking so well and enjoying the day. There was a moment during the flypast when the mask dropped and she looked so tired and I thought I bet she cannot wait to get those shoes and hat off and lie down somewhere! Totally understandable. But well done to her.

I admit I was quite moved by her statement and photo yesterday. Partly because it was literally posted while I was in an appointment getting some pathology results of my own (all fine), so it was the first thing I saw when I opened Twitter afterwards. I can only imagine what a hard time this has been for them, with the rumours and the scrutiny on top of her treatment. I wish her well.

I think she looked like Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle

That pix of Kate leaning against a tree is beautiful. I'm glad to see she hasn't lost her beautiful hair.

This might not be news to anyone else but I saw a new pix of Louis & he looks exactly like Prince Andrew, esp as a child. I never saw the resemblance before.

Me three!

Also, Charlotte's hair is getting VERY long! It can be seen in this video clip before the got into the coach to leave Buckingham Palace

The only thing that concerns me is that even though the camera adds 15 lbs. to one's frame, she looks positively skeletal in that dress. She also appears to be wearing more makeup than she usually does.

Beautiful dress.

Chemo is hard on folks. Props to her for participating today. I hope she is nearing the end of her treatment.

Is there some symbolism in the weird green of the kids' outfits? Or is it just my computer displaying it strangely?

chemo often makes people lose weight.

Me: 4 time cancer Dx over 17+ years including chemo, multiple surgeries, facing 1 hour radiation therapy, five days a week for six weeks and RN, BS, MPA, MBA. I worry about her having adequate reserves

 

[puglover]

I think she looks great for all she has been through. I know makeup covers a lot but her face looks good - neither puffy nor too thin. And that Charlotte will be fascinating to watch grow up. For me she has looks, smarts, personality, sass and two annoying brothers to keep her humble.

I think you will find they weren't green but dark navy https://images.hellomagazine.com/ho...stockeditorial14539525ae.jpg?tx=c_limit,w_640

As others have said, the Princess of Wales's outfit immediately made me think of Eliza Doolittle

Someone wants to escape from the palace

Prince Louis is definitely in a league of his own

Catherine's dress was a rework/upcyle of a dress she wore last year to a pre-Coronation appearance.

I like the upcycled look better than the original.

I think it's more her keeping them humble. She certainly works overtime to try to keep Louis in line.

Ah, the middle child

 

[Karen-W]

Ah, the middle child

Who? Catherine is the oldest in her family and Louis is the youngest in his...

 

[Wyliefan]

Charlotte is the middle child.

 

[Spiralgraph]

Charlotte is the middle child between George and Louis!

 

[puglover]

The bratty brother(s) - bossy sister saga - I remember it well and we are far from royal.

A new photo of Prince William and the children has been published for Father's Day.

I thought Kate looked beautiful in the dress; albeit very thin. I hope she gets well soon!

The kids looked cute too!
