Why do the English Royals look so old?

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.

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.

Maybe, but now that I’m 50, I am utterly shocked at the number of older white women who get raging diarrhea or gas if they eat what I consider a normal diet. I eat gluten, dairy, sugar, meat, everything and I used o assume all these women were partially anorexic until I saw it happening to friends and family that used to be right with me on the brownie sundae train. I don’t know if it’s a genetic susceptibility on the Northern European gene line or what. I’ve also noticed on the metro a number of women n their 40s who have just horrific gas, and I assume they have the same problem. So now when I see a woman in her 40s/50s that has lost a lot of weight, I tend to think gastro issues, not eating disorder.

She doesn't look approachable in that picture, I agree, but she looks beautiful. It's a funeral, so I don't expect to see her looking warm.

She doesn’t need to look approachable at a funeral. That’s like telling a woman she needs to smile. Nobody likes that. I thought we moved past that?

I'm sure he's scared out of his mind. He's almost King. Holy crap.

Well, he and especially Charles have had a substantial amount of time to learn the ropes compared to the Queen.

She's always looked 10+ years older because her makeup is hopelessly outdated even for someone of her age. It's like Estee Lauder counter in the late 80s bad. She kinda got away with it when she actually was young, but it was always crappy and aging. Ringing your eyes in black liner is harsh. She's look much, much, much better if she ditched the black liner undereye and garish blush.

Better than Meghan's raging smoky eyes and seventeen layers of mascara scratching her hat brim.

Here is Kate rocking the mourning look through the car window again.

I generally think kate is beautiful but she looks really cold and mean in this pic, like an ice maiden. Not a flattering pic of her at all.

She’s at a funeral. I think she looked gorgeous.

You can see the spots and freckling on her chest from overtanning.

Yes, she's a human being who has been exposed to the sun for 40 plus years. Shit happens.

I know that Kim Kardashian wears makeup on her entire body because, in her own words, "I have veins". But that's insane.
Kate looks real. She has crows feet, she has some freckles, she looks tired, she looks like she's over forty. But she is still beautiful, in my opinion. Her hair is gorgeous, her eyes are a lovely color, she knows how to dress to flatter her shape, even within her restrictions, and she carries herself with grace. I don't expect any adult to have skin like a baby, and I'm glad that she doesn't feel the need to pretend that she does.

Oops, I messed up the quote. I was responding to the person who pointed out the freckles on her chest. ^

Because their butchers have bad eyebrows.

Camilla looks very old for her age: https://www.nickiswift.com/916144/inside-william-and-harrys-relationship-with-camilla-parker-bowles/

She’s 75! She looks like a 75 year old who hasn’t been obsessive about skin care or staying out of the sun, and who’s holding on to a somewhat dated hairstyle. But she’s also 75 and I feel like people are forgetting that.

The 75 year old women I know do not look this old. Sorry, they just don't.

DP. In some of those pics, she looks better and in others she doesn't. But she looks similar to my mother who is 76. My mother carries some extra weight that gives her face life and fullness. Camila does too.

Camila looks good. Like a healthy 75 year old woman.

Kate looks fantastic.

Kate looks beautiful. She also looks like a woman in her 40s with children. I know DCUMers love to proclaim they still look 28 and are told so all the time, but the truth is, if you are white and thin, you show your age just like Kate does. It’s going to be OK.

Your mother is not a Royal with all of the beauty treatments, procedures, expensive creams. etc. available to her. And a woman who smoked for 30 years in no way looks healthy.

So they aren’t natural beauties if they have to use all those enhancements. Good for Camilla to just saying no.

We’ve already established that the UK royals and society types don’t really do the whole cosmetic treatments and procedures thing like rich Americans. They’re all out there with jowls and receding hairlines (on the men) and imperfect teeth and honestly, good for them.
