+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.


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


she didn't used to be narrow though - not in college. How does she do it?


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.


Yep, the Freshman 15.

I can agree with this; I was about 10lbs heavier in my early 20s and am now very thin in my 30s. Was never close to overweight but I think it’s common to have some extra padding in college.

If Meghan Markle looks frumpy I look like an ogre under a bridge.


I could disagree more. Meghan looked elegant and Kate looked extra stiff.

Same. Even so…from the public pictures of her around then, she still had a narrow shape, just with maybe 10 lbs more

Uh, duh, there are like a million photos of her from college floating around the web, showing her distinctly more robust and healthy looking.

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.


+1. She puts effort into her look, unlike a lot of politicians.

I know some women gain weight as they get older and have kids but this is not the case for all. Plenty of women also thin out and lose the college baby face

I think many women also start taking their health more seriously in their later 20s and 30s where you can't survive on junk food like you used to. They start to exercise more, drink more water, less junk food and alcohol.

She does, but let's be real for a moment. Nancy has had a facelift and some other work done. The Royal and old money Brits don't go in for all that. They age naturally and are in the outdoors a lot.

Very true. I am 5’4 and I maybe 110lbs soaking wet but in college I was closer to 120. More greasy foods, more takeout, less sleep. I honestly wouldn’t mind putting on a bit of weight now but I definitely don’t have the appetite for junk food all the time like I did in my 20s.

Personally, I think Kate dresses very well for her body type and within the standards of what is acceptable as part of the royal family.

Look at Helen Mirren. Culturally, I think they are a more natural and frankly I love it!

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


Well she's very old. Nothing will make that fact go away. She looks great considering. That's not to say she doesn't look old, but that she still looks great in what she chooses to wear.

I think they are both beautiful women, better than the average person. There is no need to tear one down to build the other up.

I remember looking at Kate a few years ago and thinking she had too many wrinkles for her age. I thought given their rainy climate and the fact that they always wear hats would shield them from aging as fast. They also have money which they obviously aren’t using for skincare. I have been to Europe but not the UK. Do the people of the UK typically age fast? I am in my 70s and my relatives in their 90s look younger than Camilla, Princess Anne, and King Charles.


King Charles and Camilla are in their 70's. They look their ages. I have no idea what Princess Anne looks like.

She looks like a horse, just as she always has.


Here is a picture where I think she looks good
