I noticed that too. I wish she would stop the puppy dog eye stares. Weird at her age. Not weird if you are 15.

Why do Kate and MM smile with the jaw dropped - it is like the kind of smile that celebrities do. Why do they smile like this - anyone - not just MM, Kate or celebrities. Are they trying to catch flies???

This whole BIG deal with the Queen NOT wearing the Imperial Crown...

Why the Queen will not wear a crown at State Opening of Parliament for first time in 43* years

Her Majesty, 91, will also travel by car instead of by carriage​

JUNE 21, 2017* ??
Hello!

This is also an interesting article from 12th October about this very issue.

(*This was responding to an earlier article which it also links to) ​

The Editors’ Debate: No – The Queen should NOT wear the Crown to the State Opening of Parliament
​

By Charlie Proctor

*12th October 2019

*The Queen should wear her crown for the State Opening of Parliament next week.*
Editor-in-Chief Charlie Proctor says the regalia should be left in the Tower of London where it belongs.

Imagine walking over to your 93-year-old grandmother and making her balance a shoe, a block of butter and a guinea pig on her head all at once. What an absurd suggestion I hear you cry!
Yet, every year we expect our elderly Monarch to carry the equivalent amount of weight on her head during the State Opening of Parliament in the form of the Imperial Crown.

..it looks rather nice and is a symbol of all things great, the crown does not need to worn during the State Opening of Parliament, nor do the robes and regalia.

If the crown is so important to people, I suppose it can can still be present (but not involved). The 2.5lb headpiece can be placed on a table besides the throne,

When The Queen visited London Zoo last year she did not wear her crown. Why should her visit to the Parliamentary zoo be any different? As long as she stays in the protected area and doesn’t feed the animals, all will be fine – crown or no crown.

I like this. The Ralph & Russo gown she wore for the engagement shoot is my absolute favourite outfit of Meghan's.

Yes, I'll stick with me DM's Thank you!​

​

Don't worry @gregjrichards we've got you covered, they come in various 'Tartans' too ♡

​

I like all the patterns that DM has now. I might have to get a pair even though I am probably too old for them. OTOH, I live in rural ranching area so I might be able to get away with it. LOL I am a Crocs gal myself. (ducks)

<modsnip: quoted post was removed>

I noticed that as well lol

I'm looking at Twitter and I think William may have broken the internet! Might explain the belly holding, got to keep up the competition for those column inches (I still can't figure out those emojis so this is where I would insert winky face because I'm just jesting

 

[AllyBeeUK]

^^oh, look at that. I did it

I noticed that as well lol

I'm guessing that wearing this dress now is because all the baby weight is gone? but yet she is holding her tummy again....

She might feel as though she still has a little baby bulge so she's trying to disguise it. She hasn't got a bulge of course, but she may not feel 100% confident. Or, she's pregnant again...!!

No heirs and graces: As Prince William enjoys a pint at the football, how the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have delivered a masterclass how royals CAN show they're in touch with the people in the past year​

Is there some competition/award for 'Longest Headline, EVER' we don't know about?
​

‘We’re the Cambridges and we’re just like you.’
​

Prince William enjoyed a pint in a pub watching the England match last Friday with Chelsea's Frank Lampard. What a wonderful picture that was of the Duke of Cambridge in a pub last Friday. Surrounded by England fans watching their team against the Czech Republic, he appeared like any other supporter with a pint in his hand and a smile on his face.

​

William looked relaxed but, inevitably, he was there for more than the game. For this was just one in a long line of images released by the Cambridges in the past year promoting the clear message: ‘We’re the Cambridges and we’re just like you.’

Showstopper: The Duchess and Bake Off star Mary Berry at RHS Garden Wisley
​

That is, an ordinary family, living an ordinary life, with the same worries and proud family moments as the rest of you.

From Louis’ first birthday pictures to Mum and Dad taking Charlotte to her first day at school — not to mention Kate in the cheap seats at Wimbledon — the couple have shown it is the simple things in life that bring happiness no matter how much privilege or money you may have. They’ve done this while managing to promote the issues close to their hearts.

Runaway success: Louis, aged one, has a wild time at the Chelsea Flower Show’s Back To Nature garden in May
​

The Royal Family has been badly dented of late so positive images like these must be welcome in The Firm.

In the past 12 months, the Cambridges have also released pictures on social media of William hugging staff at the Royal Marsden Hospital, leaping for joy watching his beloved Aston Villa get promoted, and dishing up dinner at a homeless shelter...

​

After all, this is the generation who will be around to support William when he becomes King. And if the number of followers’ ‘likes’ is anything to go by, the public are loving what they see. A charming photo of Prince Louis in April, taken by his mother and released for his first birthday, got more than a million ‘likes’,
