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.

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.

I do not believe for one minute that Kate hasn’t had surgery or injectables. Meghan has probably had a little surgery too but I’d expect that from an actress. But Kate’s face isn’t her original one, either. She had charming features, somewhat elfin almost. Cigarettes, sunbathing and extreme thinness will probably change a person.

I had work done and I can tell K had none. I don’t think she's allowed. M had a nose job, two sets of breast implants (second one lower profile and smaller after the engagement), fillers and botox. She also wears hair extensions.

She also has fantastic hair.

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

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.

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 think they're both attractive in different ways, and have their good and less good qualities, like all of us.
Kate looks very thin in photos which probably means she is too thin IRL. But she always looks put together and wears her clothes well. Meghan for some reason never seems to have clothing that fits her properly.

Meghan’s stylist in the UK was perfect for her. Too bad she hasn’t found someone as good in the US.

Celebrities are only as good as their dermatologist, make up person, hair stylist, wardrobe person, photography choreographer, airbrusher.

She was an actress who was considered hot and beautiful long before she even met Harry. For God's sake, you people are absurd. Meghan is a beautiful woman who knows how to dress in America and elsewhere.

She's pretty, but I disagree that she knows how to dress.

Whatever she's done, it's working.

Also, on Kate—I wonder if she has stomach issues. I know a lot of women who develop stomach issues like IBS or food intolerances in their 30s and end up on restricted diets, cutting dairy or wheat or fats. Most of the very thin middle aged women I know fall into this category—they eat healthy but can’t eat a lot of the yummy foods that keep some padding kn the rest of us or they end up with intestinal distress. The other really thin women I know are distance runners.

Jill Biden is old but pretty. Like a popular high school girl who grew old, or a pretty girl at the beach who had kids and then became a grandmother.

Camilla is butt ugly. I'm sorry to say it. There is no comparison.

I don't think she's ugly at all. She's aged quite nicely.

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).

Poor Philip looked like a crypt walker.

He was frickin' 99 years old when he died. Christ, rightly so.

If you look at photos/videos when he was younger (like at his wedding to QEII), Prince Phillip was actually once super hot.

It’s tough to sustain any form of hotness at 99.

She smoked for about 35 years. This is the look of a smoker. She has now quit.

She looks matronly.

K definitely does Botox. I’m not even a watcher and I can see improvements over the years.

A lot of disordered eaters make up sensitivities and allergies, too. I think it is fair to assume Kate is on a very restrictive diet.

Yes, I think she just wants to maintain that look because she's always in photos and gets attacked for anything by the press.

People here are so mean. Camilla and Charles are 75, let them age in dignity and not chase eternal youth which would make them look nothing but ridiculous anyway. I’ve seen so many overdone faces here - 75 year old women who had such extreme facelifts, it’s farcical. It’s good that the media shows pictures of women who have aged naturally. Fwiw, my mom is 74, doesn’t look younger than Camilla and she’s beautiful.

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

I thik Camilla looks perfectly fine, even nice.

Yeah? And what have you been smoking?
