Just seen pics of Prince Louis and his family, what a happy little fella he is?

I haven’t recovered from seeing a little boy in a pram wearing denim trousers, denim shirt and a denim cap .

Jeans for baptism or wedding services - no

If Meghan is such an independent woman why does she feel the need to cling on to Harry's arm. I wonder if she's afraid of falling off her shoes.

How about a pair of jeans?
Skinny ones, like most children his age are wearing.
A smart pair of chinos?

Rosina Tue 17-Jul-18 14:29:04

Louis has pretty impressive eyebrows - on trend!

Grandma70s Tue 17-Jul-18 14:04:14

What do you think George should be wearing? I think he looks perfect.

Anniebach Tue 17-Jul-18 13:22:14

but merlot, the child wore a short sleeved shirt, how can that be called a blouse

George's clothes are nothing like his school uniform, annie which is up to date with other schools.

All we're saying is George's clothes appear outdated whereas Charlotte is wearing what any little girl would wear to a christening.

The jeans and tee shirt comment is unnecessary because nobody would expect him to be wearing that.

Kate appears radiant and very happy, baby Louis looks a little bit like big brother George, shame they had to put George in something akin to a girl's blouse. Charlotte very cute in one of her many little girl smock dresses, I had some of those all those years ago, they don't really date. I think Charlotte takes after her great grandmother the Queen such a family likeness imo. Finally, I really liked Camilla's hat, thought it looked quite Edwardian in a good way.

I think the children’s clothes are absolutely lovely. If only all children looked like that on formal occasions. I don’t suppose they dress like that if they are just playing.

How about a World Cup 2018 football strip, Annie, so everyone can see at a glance when the photo was taken. wink

Anniebach Tue 17-Jul-18 12:36:41

A professional family photograph,what is outdated about that? Should they all have stood at a bar?

George’s clothes are what little boys attending private schools wear , should he wear jeans and a tee shirt or perhaps a football or rugby shirt?

SueDonim Tue 17-Jul-18 12:34:04

Yes, it did - you're right! grin I've just Googled images of Henry VIII's wives and they all seem to have a variation on the theme. Catherine of Aragon had what looks like a splendid garden gazebo on her head in one of them.

Personally, I think the clothes are ok. It's a formal occasion, I guess, and it could be worse - sailor suits!!

Kates hat thingy, reminded me of one worn by one of the wives of Henry VIIII . Can’t remember which one though . I don’t see why they couldn’t have traditional but modern photographs.

SueDonim Tue 17-Jul-18 12:08:34

They were probably Prince William's, which they found in the back of a cupboard. grin

I suppose part of the rationale may be that the photos should look relatively timeless.

I did think Kate's headgear looked like the biggest alice band in the world.

gillybob Tue 17-Jul-18 11:54:07

Oops yes Blinko . I really can’t understand it . Even the colouring on the family ( of 5) photograph looks sepia . Why do they continue to dress George in those blouses ?

Blinko Tue 17-Jul-18 11:48:39

..to dress...

Blinko Tue 17-Jul-18 11:48:09

That's what I was thinking, gillybob. Assuming we're talking around 1900 and not 2000. People don't even aspire to dressing like that nowadays. If they ever did.

gillybob Tue 17-Jul-18 10:52:37

Just had a look at the official photo and honestly think that aside from Willy’s blue suit the photo could have been taken at the turn of the century .

merlotgran Tue 17-Jul-18 10:39:08

Charlotte always looks lovely because she's dressed like a little girl of her age. George always has to wear the little prince 'uniform' - definitely not like other boys of his age (nearly 5)

SueDonim Tue 17-Jul-18 10:36:07

The children all look very sweet, though I detect mischief in wee Charlotte's expression!

Their clothes are 'on-trend' or maybe fashion is following them, as children's clothing shops currently seem to be full of flowery smocked dresses and little romper suits with tiny shirts.

Anniebach Tue 17-Jul-18 10:19:13

I think the childrens clothes are lovely, not at all old fashion, Charlotte wears dresses, what’s old fashioned about a dress ?

Blinko Tue 17-Jul-18 10:13:59

I think it's the first time I've seen Prince George looking relaxed and confident. Smiling like a pro. Charlotte always manages to look enchanting. I am beginning to think some of their clothes look rather old fashioned. People don't really dress like that nowadays, unless it's a wedding, do they?

henetha Tue 17-Jul-18 09:56:53

Beautiful photots of them all. ~What lovely children they are. Everyone looked happy, I thought.
I agree, eazybee, Princess Charlotte does have a look of Princess Margaret about her.

annsixty Tue 17-Jul-18 09:55:06

Photograph in the DT today of the little Prince chuckling, so natural and lovely.

eazybee Tue 17-Jul-18 09:50:59

I thought all three Royal Duchesses looked lovely; why is it so difficult to buy simple, well cut clothes in flattering colours, (I liked the style and the colour of the green dress), without spending the fortune they obviously do.

I thought Princess Charlotte had a look of Princess Margaret about her, who in turn looked like Queen Charlotte, wife of George III.
