^^^ and perhaps a few small weights, as suggested by her Majesty, to help hold it down.

We have seen a lot of pics of Kate and wind blown skirts/dresses. Too many of them. lol

Speaking of "weights", Kate looks painfully thin in the polka dot dress

 

[rosemadderlake]

I think she looks amazing. She’s got seriously gorgeous gams... I love her shoes with this dress.

Ohgodthoseheels I couldn’t take one step in shoes like that

I wonder what it must be like to have gone to school with someone who is now one of the most well known women in the world.

I think they are only done for direct heirs to the throne i.e the Cambridge children. I don’t think they do the gun salute for the birth of every royal child.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry forced to deny claims they ‘stage managed’ Archie’s birth

I thought they would be in line if none of the Cambridge children were available.

Prince Harry gushes about fatherhood as he introduces Archie to Kate and William

Mum-of-two Amy Scullard, from Aylesbury, Bucks, whose son Emmett, aged three, is in remission from cancer, revealed: “He said he’s getting used to the baby and how Archie has fitted into family life.

“He said he just feels part of the family and he can’t imagine life without his son.”

I thought there was a gun salute for Archies' birth. The palace had announced that it would be taking place along with the placard being placed outside Buck House. Probably took place in Hyde Park.

His was a royal birth, titled or not. Cant find much about it though.

Yikes! She needs a couple more buttons on that skirt!

I'll loan her a slip. Heck, give her one....

I was a chum of 'Radar O'Reily'/Gary Burghoff in high school.
Used to have some great photos of him and me walking the
halls and I was wearing my raccoon collared camelhair coat.
Ex-husband tossed pics thinking GB was a boyfriend.
It was fun watching GB's rise to fame but it wasn't surprising.
He was very talented musically in hs and had wonderful stage
presence. But it is fun to watch their popularity and ups and downs in their life. They seem to have problems just like the
rest of us.

She is extremely thin which makes me curious of her diet. No matter I still think she is lovely.

The farmer formally known as Prince​

"They said he was mad... but Prince Charles's Highgrove estate has become a shining role model for the organic movement, not only for the quality of its produce but for its sound housekeeping."

The farm epitomises Prince Charles's belief of working with organic methods:

"In farming, as in gardening, I happen to believe that if you treat the land with love and respect (in particular, respect for the idea that it has an almost living soul, bound up in the mysterious, everlasting cycles of nature) then it will repay you in kind."

Lol. The palace did not know about the baby shower.

Sure. The planning of the security was totally secret. Um hm. I believe that. Lol

Harry is also a humanitarian and I am sure he and Meghan are in agreement.

They have the photographers and tabloids after them. They are charming and photogenic. They are a media dream. The public can’t get enough
