Honest to god, I find nothing wrong with it. I truly sincerely do not understand the big deal. I find it sweet that they’re affectionate, it’s not like they’re making out in public.
It is ok that you find ‘nothing wrong’. I understand and accept that your opinion is different from mine. That is ok. Your opinion is ok and so is mine. Cheers :drinks:
 
I actually hate the beading on the Diplomatic reception dress....but red is a great colour on her and I love the shape of the dress. I just find the beading design weirdly old fashioned...

I love how her hair and tiara are styled. It kind of has 70s vibes for me
I agree - love her hair like that. Reminds me of people “ratting” their hair back in the day. Of course, Kate looks more beautiful and elegant than some of those folks with towering ratted hair. Guess back-combed would have been a better way to describe it!

I also think that this hair-do with the tiara looks better than the photo of her wearing it on a prior occasion.

Ooh, yes, that would be fantastic.
I know that she's worn it a few times in front of Charles but I'd already thought that the Lover's Knot wouldn't be 'appropriate' at his coronation because of its heavy association with Diana.
I'm going for this one, worn by The Queen for our next Queen. Very suitable for a coronation.
Let's start a go fund me for new plates for Montecito.

This outfit and jewels look great with her hair!

This tiara is beautiful and would look smashing on Catherine, Sophie or Anne. Which leads me to the question of what jewelry pieces Anne has. She has a very classic style and I hope she now has pieces that had deep meaning to both her and the Queen.

I also love the little horse-related brooch Lady Louise wore to Prince Phillip's funeral. I remember tearing up when I saw that.

I'm very happy that Louise and James were born when the Queen and Phillip were in their later years. They were able to spend lots of time together with Elizabeth and Phillip (especially after Phillip retired). I'm sure L & J brought their grandparents a lot of joy.

Ohmygoodness, YES!! That is my favorite tiara & I've just been waiting for Kate to wear it! It's a bit more bling than normal for her though so I'm not sure when she will choose it.
I’ll be surprised if we see this tiara anytime soon since it was a favorite of QEII and will be always be associated with her. There are so many others to chose from. But if we do see it than I think it will be on Camilla since Catherine isn’t going to upstage the new Queen.

True. But, Camilla is already known for a couple of massive tiaras so this one may be considered appropriate for the Princess of Wales, at some point. (It could be that I'm just trying to will it into happening because I'm disproportionately fond of this tiara over the others typically worn by the PoW.) ;)

That's my guess too. The GofBaI is...dainty. Not small or demure by any means, but The Queen had more substantial ones which Camilla wears exceptionally well. I can't imagine the Greville tiara on anyone else for example.

I hope to see more of the Wessex children in the years ahead. Lady Louise seems like a lovely person.
