Queen of E's funeral fashion

[Anonymous]

Charlotte looked adorable but I don't think black was appropriate for her age. A dark gray or blue would have been more appropriate. And as much as I love hats, she is not old enough. A dark head band or hair ribbon would be been better

Also, if this helps others: the key to posting photos on DCUM is that when you find a photo to post, right click on it and select "open image in new tab". Then copy and paste the link in the new tab and use the "Img" brackets on DCUM (just like you'd use to make something bold or underlined, only it codes it to read as an image). But the key is to open the image in it's own tab or window because that makes it easy to ensure you are grabbing the correct link. Hope that helps.

Enough with the botox forehead on otherwise beautiful women, why would she do this to herself? It looks ridiculous on EVERY. SINGLE. WOMAN. who does this, please stop.

It's not Botox, she got a bad brow lift, way too tight. Queen Rania and JLO have the best surgeons. Both are goals for plastic surgery.

Queen Rania is absolutely stunning but I hated her hat so much. It looks like a beret with a veil. Not a huge fan of the giant ruffle on her dress either. Surprising because she usually looks so good.

I absolutely loved Letiza’s outfit for the reception. Chef’s kiss! But yes something is weird with her forehead although I think she looks more normal in the picture from the funeral.

I am generally not a fan of commenting on children other than saying they are adorable (which both George and Charlotte are!).

This should probably be its own thread, but does anyone who is not royalty wear brooches in real life? I think they look great and add interest, but I never see anyone actually wearing them in real life unless they are elderly. It seems like a 1950's trend in America, but I'm thinking of getting one for my coat. I really liked that large pearl leaf one that Kate wore a week or two ago and that had been the Queen's.

I wear a broach on my wool winter coat -- I love it. I also like the look on sweaters. Even better, a silk scarf draped over a sweater and then secured with a broach! But yes, these latter examples feel over the top in most settings. If I were back in a conservative office I'd do it though. Especially as I get older, I think you can get away with stuff like this a little more that would look silly on a younger woman. But I'm WFH now and broaches on my indoor clothes are too much. But I have a big one I wear on my black coat in the winter and I love that it's a little bit of color and sparkle in the middle of the winter on an otherwise pretty unassuming black coat.

Rania's cost looks really nice. I feel like her hat could have been "more," but, then again, it's a funeral and not supposed to be a fashion show, I guess.

I do! I like art nouveau-style brooches for coats, blazers, and sweaters.

I thought Meghan's cape dress looked nice. Milania Trump wore this style to a lot of White House events.

Even with 15 million in assets that Meghan and Harry have it can be tough to pull together these types of outfits with very short notice.

I'm assuming Harry picked up his suit from the military in the UK.

MM wearing those long gloves and no sleeves looks trashy to me. Is she a butcher?

This comment so perfectly exemplifies how much MM cannot win in this world. Literally no matter what she does, people will criticize.

If she'd worn a simple black suit, people would have made cracks about her acting career.

If she'd worn a dress coat, she would be accused of trying to copy Kate.

If she'd looked better, she'd be accused of trying to grasp for attention.

If she'd looked worse, she'd be accused of not trying hard enough for the occasion.

Imagine trying to get dressed or function in a situation like this. If I were her I would want nothing more than to hop a plain back to LA so I could go hang out in the pool with my kids and forget all about these horrid people. I wonder if she regrets falling for Harry. I really do think she just fell in love and got swept up in the royal fairy tale aspect and had no idea the degree to which both the press and certain members of the family would instantly seize on her as a target for their suppressed rage.

You be you. I see a butcher with those gloves and exposed arms.

I can NOT be more sick of this eyebrow trend if I tried. All I see in this picture are hideous eyebrows. Giant gross eyebrows. Unnatural ugly eyebrows

You’re commenting on the random butcher’s eyebrows?

I suspect they will be coming back in style due to the funeral.

Jill Biden looks completely ridiculous. TF is that stupid headband?

It looks like something she took off a Playboy bunny.

Really? Worse than the flower on Middleton's mother's hat?

They both looked inelegant, IMO. I like Jill but the bow headband looked childish. Carole looked gaudy.

It's funny to remember that the British press used to sneer at Kate/Kate's family bc their money is from their party supply business (even though they have aristocratic backgrounds). Now the whole family can do no wrong bc the press hates Meghan so much.

Kate and William have been a couple for 20 years. Kate kept her head down- as did her family, other than her Uncle Gary- and they were eventually accepted. Long before MM came on the scene. It was wrong the way Kate was treated too, but don’t tie her acceptance to MM. It’s incorrect and it also discounts everything that Kate did since marrying into the royal family.

You have to give it to Middleton and her family, they've been nothing but compliant of written and unwritten rules. Her acceptance has nothing to do with MM.

I just don't agree. I never saw the type of fawning she gets now before MM came on the scene. Although they did mostly give up on the commoner stuff once she got pregnant.
