If Kermit was elegant and a little bit hot, sure.
Sleek and appropriate versus a toad dress and pajamas.
I hear you. For years I was in a cookie exchange with friends and it was a highlight of the season for me. I was a baking lunatic for two weeks before Christmas. The problem was, I'd be eating cookies throughout January and by Groundhog Day I couldn't zip my pantsWe're having a cookie platter out all advent...I try to restrict my intake to Sundays
I think this green dress should shut down any thought that Catherine might be pregnant lol!

You're my kind of person
This year my stash is somehow already diminished.I too am amazed how they always seem to have something to say. I read somewhere the Queen had a way of putting people at ease since they were always nervous to meet her.
There has to be tips and tricks to making small talk that is also interesting, insightful, and relevant to the specific cause they are there to highlight.
Now that I’m thinking about it, they probably have briefs prepared for each place they visit (whether working at home in the UK and especially for overseas trips). They probably do quite a bit of studying and thinking of insightful questions beforehand.
I couldn’t do their job. They do work hard!

One of my favourite stories of her is when this doctor and author who has worked in war zones to help was there to meet her (can't remember the details). He welled up while talking about his experiences, and The Queen opened a box, quietly handed him a dog biscuit and started feeding the dogs. After several minutes where nobody spoke and he had had time to collect himself she said something along the lines of "So much better than talking, right?"
Yeah, I would probably die of exhaustion doing their job. I'm a huge introvert, I take days to recover from events where I am forced to interact with tons of people for hours.
I hate green...lol. At least Catherine still looks fab. Diana's choker steals the show.
I don't, but THAT green needs some getting used to. But I love seeing her experiment and venture out and do fun things.
She wore a beautiful shade of green on the Caribbean trip - the ballgown with the tulle ruffled top. But I agree about trying new looks.
She looks sophisticated and fun! I like that’s it’s outside her comfort zone.
Ask about them and their life, don't make it about yours. Ahem.
