Yes, but the cut of the women's clothes is unflattering. The men look amazing in their bespoke suits from Saville Row. The women look shapeless. Look at hot Carole next to dowdy Camilla.



Carole wears stylish clothes that show off her figure - like most Americans. Royals don't show off at all. Except Diana.


I saw a photo of Camilla that was taken during Covid and she was wearing jeans, and you could tell that she actually has a nice figure for her age. Her clothes are clearly custom, so I don’t know why she has them made to be so shapeless. It’s either comfort, or she believes it’s better to look frumpy, considering her history with Charles.

Is this a joke? No one in these pictures looks hot. They both look dowdy.

I agree. Recently I was wanting to find a source where I could look at pictures of older women with faces that haven’t been affected by cosmetic procedures, just to reacquaint myself with what people normally look like, and I couldn’t even think of where to find that.

Typically, I know there are several 55 year old, 5’10”, size 2 DCUMers who look 30, so don’t come at me.

I also think how old someone looks at 70/80/90 is very much driven by genetics. Prince Philip looked older than the Queen (even accounting for age differences).


Poor Philip looked like a crypt walker.


He was frickin' 99 years old when he died. Christ, rightly so.


Elizabeth was only 3 years younger and she didn’t look nearly that old.


She was plumper. Philip was thin.


With completely different bone structure.

Reason I think it's partyl due to genetics - look at America's most famous Irish family. The Kennedys. So many wrinkles in that family. Much more than from just being in the sun without sunscreen.


+1 the kennedys also age poorly, truth


Being in the sun without sunscreen will definitely age you, especially if your skin is fair without any oils.

OP is used to plastic faces and touched-up photos.

these are pale people who exist in a culture of drinking and smoking and dowdy 1940s formal clothing, not sunblock and yoga and anthropologie.

Camilla is in her 70s and looks like she is in her 70s.

They look like average older people. It's fine.

I remember looking at Kate a few years ago and thinking she had too many wrinkles for her age. I thought given their rainy climate and the fact that they always wear hats would shield them from aging as fast. They also have money which they obviously aren’t using for skincare. I have been to Europe but not the UK. Do the people of the UK typically age fast? I am in my 70s and my relatives in their 90s look younger than Camilla, Princess Anne, and King Charles.


You are ridiculous.

She is very skinny. A famous actress once said you had to choose between your weight and wrinkles. This was before Botox when gaining extra weight was used sometimes to plump out the skin. Maybe it was Lauren Bacall who said this??

If you look at photos of long-ago movie stars, they appear “fat” compared to the skinny people of today. I actually think these older stars looked normal and sexy at a more natural weight.

Kate looks painfully thin and she will probably become hunched over in old age due to the lack of nutrition now.


I do find myself wondering how she is this thin, actually. Even a very slim and fit woman wouldn't look like that after 3 kids. Yes, a woman csn be thin, sure, but she kind of hits below a general benchmark. What does she even eat?


Hope it's worth it.

Very little of anything, obviously.
