Why do the English Royals look so old?

[Anonymous]

It’s their styling. Makeup, hair, clothing is all very proper and old fashioned.

I agree. Recently I was wanting to find a source where I could look at pictures of older women with faces that haven’t been affected by cosmetic procedures, just to reacquaint myself with what people normally look like, and I couldn’t even think of where to find that.

Charles and Camilla look they could be Martha Stewart’s parents and she is in her 80’s. Also Nancy Pelosi’s parents and isn’t she like 90?

Nancy Pelosi looks old, just a different kind of old. The plastic surgery is not fooling anyone.

A better, more stylish, not geriatric but still appropriate old. I like Nancy's look.

This is your opinion, she looks like a shapeless hanger to me.

Reason I think it's partyl due to genetics - look at America's most famous Irish family. The Kennedys. So many wrinkles in that family. Much more than from just being in the sun without sunscreen.

+1 the kennedys also age poorly, truth

Yes, all those big teeth and square jaws

I agree, and the same goes for the Irish.

I lived in Spain for years and remember traveling to England from time to time and being struck by how not-attractive the English were, LOL, at least relative to the Spanish.

I guess it ok to make fun of people's looks as long as they are white. Right pp?

Huh? Spanish people are also white. Just better looking.

She also has fantastic hair.

+1. Yeah. Meghan Markle has a great body but standing next to Kate she looked a bit frumpy

It's because K is so thin. M is built differently and she looks like she has a wide waist next to K, which I bet she doesn't. There's a reason why runaway models are so thin - clothes look so much better on very tall and very thin people.

Typically, I know there are several 55 year old, 5’10”, size 2 DCUMers who look 30, so don’t come at me.

I also think how old someone looks at 70/80/90 is very much driven by genetics. Prince Philip looked older than the Queen (even accounting for age differences).

She is very skinny. A famous actress once said you had to choose between your weight and wrinkles. This was before Botox when gaining extra weight was used sometimes to plump out the skin. Maybe it was Lauren Bacall who said this??

If you look at photos of long-ago movie stars, they appear “fat” compared to the skinny people of today. I actually think these older stars looked normal and sexy at a more natural weight.

Kate looks painfully thin and she will probably become hunched over in old age due to the lack of nutrition now.

I do find myself wondering how she is this thin, actually. Even a very slim and fit woman wouldn't look like that after 3 kids. Yes, a woman csn be thin, sure, but she kind of hits below a general benchmark. What does she even eat?

It's genetics. Look at her mom - she's old, had 3 kids and she's still thin. My mom is like this - 84 years old, 5'7 and size 6. She eats everything.

Her hair and makeup just don’t look believable though. I think they actually age her

+2.She has an interesting body. For someone so tall, she has a very long torso and comparably short legs.

It's because K is so thin. M is built differently and she looks like she has a wide waist next to K, which I bet she doesn't. There's a reason why runaway models are so thin - clothes look so much better on very tall and very thin people.

Meghan does have a wide waist, she is an apple shape. Kate isn’t just thin, she is super narrow.

how do you know what she looked like in college? Let's not forget we were all heavier and chubbier in college. Partially lifestyle, partially being late teens baby fat.
