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.

It is a candid photo through a car window. I wonder how warm and flattering a photo of you would look taken by a paparazzi while you are driving

It may be candid but she really does get that "posing through a car window" thing.

Wow she looks stunning with the mask. Without the mask she looks 50+.

I've been noticing how old they look for several years. Charles, Camila, and esp. Princess Anne all look to be well into their upper 80's. Although they are in early 70's. I think it has a lot to do with genetics...I have friends who have deep serious wrinkles and others do not (all in their 70's) my mother did not have a real wrinkled face at age 94. Also in how you take care of yourself as well.

Bad teeth, no sunblock, frumpy clothing.

Sorry but.... Camilla does look very old for her age and has done so for a long time. My 90 year old grandmother looks better than Camilla and she has never used anything but Pons cold creme. I think Camilla drinks more than most ladies and probably smoked at one time or another

Alcohol, cigarettes, a lifetime of holding in your emotions, and lots of family drama. And they’re not allowed to have plastic surgery.

Yes! And different values too— good tailoring will literally last you a lifetime. Not originally American and my father still wears custom tailoring that was created for him in his twenties—his style is not too far off from King Charles’ and they are close in age (classic colors and fabrics but cuts inspired by the time period). He has been sartorially consistent his whole life and it’s lovely and something I really appreciate now. I wish I was like that too but sadly recognize that I am too vain.

Alcohol and cigarettes are ok but god forbid a surgeon takes off a little loose skin.

I disagree that Camilla looks 90-plus. I’m anti monarchy but I think the views of some of you of some of these women is ageist and pretty hateful, and distorts what they actually look like.

Oh yeah gosh god forbid.

Not everyone needs surgery to like themselves. Or substances for that matter. You’ve got issues, embrace them!

Also, it's in the genes. William was considered hot in his 20s and then he lost all his shaggy blonde hair and we're just left with the nose and ears. It happened so fast, and I think he was hesitant to do anything dramatic bc he would have been eaten alive in the press.

lol. So correct!
