William and Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales

[Cavalier Girl]

I loved Christmas Carols: Together at Christmas. It made me weepy at times, as did King Charles' Christmas address. As someone who lost their husband 9 years ago on New Year's Eve, the tributes to QEII were especially moving. They will be feeling the loss for years to come. Blessings to all who loved and cared for her.

I'm so sorry about your husband and the loss you have suffered.

Thank you, youngster. It was a long time ago, but December is always hard. Watching the tributes to Queen Elizabeth II reminded me that gone doesn't mean forgotten. It was a beautiful display of love.

Kate's outfit has grown on me. I loved the hat but wasn't sure about the coat. Seeing it in movement instead of a picture sealed the deal for me, though.

I particularly liked the hat and honestly hope the period of the fascinator is coming to a close. Some of them looked really stupid. I have always liked Camilla’s hat selections. I did like the symbolism of her wearing green as well.

Deleted because I just saw that QueenofWrapDress had already posted the link to the Christmas Carol Concert.

Royal reporters have said that Catherine and Camilla will be not be riding a horse and will not be in uniform.

Regnews, thank you for the information.

 

[Mendocino]

The US président does not wear a uniform as it would cause an uproar if he was never in the service.
This is why it is hard to understand why someone with no service history can wear one.
But hey, it seems that it is changing now. So it is an improvement, imho.

This also reinforces the fact that the Commander-in-Chief of the American Armed Forces is a civilian.

As are the members of the RF in question.

Something must be lost in translation.

Oh lord I’m just watching the royal carol service and so far I think it’s weirdly amateurish.

I don’t understand why they didn’t re-record some of the performances when they hit so many wrong notes.

I mean that athlete reading the gospel and flubbing desperately needed another take. Then theyve got a Samantha Barks a famous dramatic mezzo singing the treble song ‘walking in the air’ and it doesn’t sound good pitched down at all.

Just seems a little cheap. Though Kate looked amazing in the dark red.

The setting is stunning too of course and the decorations and the choir but as annoyed as I get by kings college weird rearrangements of carols I think that this show isn’t a very good representation of British standards of music at all.
