Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to marry in the spring #2

[La Louve]

She's got a great stylist! Absolutely adorable

I wonder if she picks out her own outfits by now. Little kids can be so adventurous in what they will wear if you let them.

The red bow holding her hair back. How cute is that?

Normally I see the Queen's eyes in Charlotte but in this photo (from Pippa's wedding) I see Carole Middleton through the eyes.

I was looking for photos of Charlotte with different hair accessories, lol.

 

[JDG]

I wore brown and white Buster Brown saddle shoes 'til I was about 8. They were classic 50s and 60s shoes for kids.

Mine were navy and white! lol

I think she looks very much like Carole Middleton. The heavily hooded eyes come from her, for sure.

 

[JDG]

Me too! Instant flashback! I don’t remember if I ever had red Mary Janes, but I know I had black patent leather.



Do you mean Stride Rite? Or is it a different company in Canada. I grew up in Stride Rite shoes on the ‘50’s...both sensible oxfords and shiny Mary Janes like these...

Ava Mary Jane

No. Start-Rite shoe company in Britain. Started in the 1700s and it did have a Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth for Charles, Andrew and Edward.
The warrant was taken away when the company left England but Prince George has been photographed in Start-Rite shoes. Wiki.

Bet Charlotte has too!

There were a few shops in TO that carried Start-Rites and my Mother used to 'go home' for visits and would always take an imprint of their feet to buy the shoes in England. As imports, they were pricey in TO although not cheap either way.
Excellent shoes of course.

I do remember seeing the Stride Rites in shops but not the same, sorry.

I used to wear the T-bar sandals from Start-Rite as a little kid. Guess Mom got those sent over from Grannie. I had both red and blue.

Hahaha, I doubt that she picks her own outfits. She is well coordinated. 3 year olds feel confident in their outfit choices without a care in the world that their brand new Paw Patrol socks are too thick for their pretty sandals, their purple sparkle shirt doesn't match their bright orange shorts, and their ponytails are a mess.
Then there's their coat pockets filled with all sorts of stuff. Pretty rocks they found on the ground, sand, toys, and a sticky half eaten candy.

LOL So true! I hope Charlotte gets to pick her own outfits when she’s staying home. She’s such a character that hers probably look just the way you described!

Where is the tearing your hair out emoji when you need it.

How sad. The Queen’s doctor was killed in a bike accident.

Queen Elizabeth II's doctor killed in cycling collision

I miss the banging-head-against-wall one....

I miss the banging-head-against-wall one....

Me too. I miss a lot of them, we have a very limited few now. <shrug>

I bet the children are not allowed to choose their own clothing unless its from a dress up box during playtime.

They are expected (and must) learn that they have a nanny who will choose their clothing and, later, a mistress of the wardrobe or valet who does this.

Their whole lives are so very different from our reality. Someone to draw your bath, someone to remove Prince Charles' coat and on and on.

I was truly disgusted when I saw a picture of him, slightly bent forward, arms extended.....wondered what he was doing....then I realized he stands like that awaiting removal of his coat!!!!! He truly looked like an imbecile.

He has been trained, from the nursery, to expect this.....no one ever says 'no' or
'I disagree'. Servants do everything for you, everything.

its all very sad to me. and ridiculous!

Samantha is said to have been offered a bumper pay deal to have her own reality show on Bravo like ‘Keeping up with the Kardashian’s’. I think it will be more like Mama June from Not to Hot than the Kardashian’s if it goes ahead. If this is true it is a new low for Bravo.

(I secretly hope that it is true that Samantha joins Big Brother. I then hope that she shows herself to be a charming and witty person. And that she makes millions and lives happily ever after. I never watch Big Brother btw.)

I just wish the Markle family would just show some class and leave Meghan alone.
They are making such fools of themselves.

She is in talks to replace Stormy Daniels apparently. I hate Big Brother it is trash tv.
