Meghan is absolutely beautiful no matter what, but the pink outfit just looks a little "off." Not sure why it doesn't work.

Mehgan did seem darker on the balcony than at the wedding. It could be that pink dress accentuated her complexion. Also just simply that everyone else is white. That made her seem darker.

No. She and Harry just came back from their honeymoon and they spent a lot of time in the sun which her complexions lends itself well too. I'm guessing he sat in the shade.

I thought they went to Canada for their honeymoon?

I thought she looked great.

Canada has sun.

No wonder Prince Charles wants to streamline the royal family.

Yep, numbers 32 - 45, with the exception of 37, should have been kicked off the balcony. No great-grandchildren with the exception of those from the two most direct adult heirs to the throne and all second cousins of the Prince Of Wales got to go.

Also I had no idea # 17 - Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence - was still alive!!

We never see him and he doesn't do royal engagements. That's weird.

Holy cow! I had no idea the balcony was such a zoo. I thought only the Queen's immediate family stood.

Next to the queen, the kids were the best part of it.

Nope. Her uncles (third son and fourth son of her grandfather / her father's brothers), their children, their children's children, her nieces from her sister, her nieces kids.

Then you get into HER children and she had four. So you've got them, their spouses, their adult kids, and now grandchildren.

It's pretty bad.

Nope, they were nuisances who didn't stand still. It's fine but anyone who is an 'adult' and the child of a non-heir + heir's kids or the Queen's immediate child should not be there.

I think the Queen's cousins and their heirs should go. I'd leave the Queen's siblings and their heirs, Queen's children and their heirs and that's it.

I mean it’s the Queen’s birthday party, she can have whoever she wants up there.

at what point will the Queen's cousins and their descendants get kicked off? When Charles becomes King perhaps?

Not to be too picky, but her uncles are dead. Those older guys (Prince Richard, Michael and someone else) are her cousins.

Probably. Alongside his Great-Uncles and their kids. That still leaves his direct Uncles and their kids plus late Aunt's kids and his 2 brothers + sister and their kids plus the growing number of great nieces and nephews he has.

Charles has no direct uncles on his mother's side. Only his aunt Margaret's children.

beatrice and eugenia really are homely. Their terrible taste in fashion doesn't help. I wonder if they feel super insecure next to Meghan and Kate?

I read somewhere that he and Anne really don't have that good of a marriage. She probably can't divorce him because that would be divorce #2. I believe he only comes out during the big occasions.
