The Cambridges and Sussexs came in the same car. OMG.

Wow, that was awesome! Thanks for posting that. Things do change.

What’s most noteworthy to me in this video is the coolness between William and Kate. There does not appear to be any love between them.

There is love. It’s just tradition with his position.

Tradition is showing up with your spouse. William went to the Queen’s death bed alone, watched the proclamation of Charles as King alone and attended the accession council alone. Now they show up looking more like distanct cousins, and not the married kind, than attentive partners.

It is what it is.

There is no such tradition, however people with high EQ don’t show up at the death bed of a great grandmother in law. They allow a handful of the closest family to be there.

Sophie was there though.

Question how much time do you think Kate and the kids spent with the queen? Actually with the queen and interacting with her? She did not do it with Charles.

kate has known queen for more than two decades.

Since she was a teen fresher at St Andrew’s.

She had a crush on William since she was 9 and a young William turned her head when his team played a hockey match at her school.

And?? I’m their age and I had a crush on William as did most other girls that had eyes. He was darling!

Serious? He’s been homely ever since he was a preteen. Young 20s military Harry, however, was hot as hell.

Wrong, there was a period when he was in college when he was hot.

His head is tiny and he has a very "derrrrr" look to him. Not my style.

Objectively you can say he is attractive in this photo. Everyone has a preference but the majority of people would agree he was attractive for the time

Damn!

Yeah. I'm his age and yes there was a period in HS/college where he was hot and generally viewed as a heartthrob. It's a tragedy what happened to all that hair.

From a strictly fashion perspective, I think Meghan did a great job with her choice of dress and shoes. The midi length with a-line movement paired with a substantial suede pump was figure-flattering. I think Kate’s choice was a rare misstep- her choice of skinny sheath and skimpy heels had a weird 90s administrative assistant vibe.

Skimpy heels? They both wore heels that were exactly the same. I felt sorry for them getting out of the car and having to walk across -- what was it, cobblestones? pea gravel? -- and still try to look feminine. What a nightmare.

Not at all. He was an extremely handsome teen and young man. Not so much now in middle age....

That's obvious. Anyone would be and anyone would do the same. They totally understand each other.

Kate is also an actress. That's part of her job as a royal. She is acting the part. We all know this.

They were wearing almost the exact same thing you weirdo. Go talk Mourning fashion on the Fashion & Beauty thread, not here.

I'm curious as well. I didn't think any of them were inappropriate. They are grieving, what did people expect to see? The ladies sobbing in their husband's arms?

Also one of them has known the queen for 20 years, the other has met her a handful of times.

British mourning practices, especially formal ones, are far different from American ones. Stunning ignorance on this board.

No one is saying she didn't display enough emotion about the queen or is not mourning her properly. The entire point is how she is so distant from William, her husband. Not how she interacted with Meghan or Harry or showed that she was grieving or not.

It was clear she and William were not close. It looked like they weren't married at all. That is the point of the current discussion.

Correct. And the rest of us are saying their lack of hand-holding is just confidence in their job and role, not and indication they are having issues. Harry and Meghan look downright codependent. They have long ago declared “us against the world.”

That's a terrible picture of him. He was super handsome in his teens and 20s -- great hair (so sad...), beautiful smile, fit body and a gorgeous smile.

I actually quite like his look now. He has a very definite "look" of a British aristocrat. You may like it or not, but it's a look He looks distinguished.

I think Harry always had a slightly disheveled look about him.

+1. William was super hot in his teens and early twenties. In retrospect it was clearly the hair.

Kate and William looked like they just happened to share an Uber.

Queen said no PDA. If you do it and then don’t it will create negative headlines.

Look at beginning of this clip, where she and William arrive at a memorial for victims of Manchester terrorist attack. (Unless you have something better to do with your time )

https://youtu.be/eqvpXF9SQRI

The occasion is much more personal this time around. If Kate looks stiff and sad it may be because a family member just did vs the dedication of a memorial.
