      I wonder if Suzie Menkes is comparing Catherine with Maxima of the Netherlands. As her namesake, she maximizes her expensive jewelry, which sometimes is out of place and tonedeaf considering the current economic situation. So I side with Catherine and her sensible selections.

      sour grapes and negativity is the correct answer here. Those who made those comments are the ones who should be shamed of themselves - for even thinking of the comments... not only for making them. But then I am of the opion that if you have nothing to say but negative and hurtful things - you should think of not saying anything at all. But that is not "writing a newspaper article" and does not sell anything. If the news are only negative - the papers sell better and live is more negative overall. It is a negative circle.

      I have some English roots. My mother taught me to edit my jewelry. Ever see someone with six bracelets on each wrist, a ring or two on every finger, five piercings in each ear, and at least three necklaces? Gaudy, tasteless and actually detracts from one’s attractiveness. Some of the items designers put out is awful. Just because something is allegedly the latest “it thing” doesn’t mean it will fit the shape of your face, your body or even your personality. The Princess of Wales always looks impeccable, represents the UK and royalty most appropriately, and sets a good example for her children. The late Queen would be very happy with her in all aspects. 💖🇺🇸

Jewels are part of the equation in the Princess of Wales’s position but it would be in truly bad taste to go around over draped in super expensive jewels when the UK and many people worldwide are struggling financially. She has to wear them for her position, but she does it tastefully and minimally. It’s “not her thing” and we should be glad of that.

It leaked on him and he threw a bit of a fit and NO ONE CARED. Camilla ignored him, grabbed a new pen, and sat down to sign her name. And the staff helped him clean up after letting him vent. No one is afraid of Charles’s mood, temper (we ALL have one) or his kingliness.

    I'm an American who has English In-laws, I've followed the Royals for 40 years now, to have something in common with my new Mum in law, Queen Elizabeth was the pinnacle of perfection, I held her in the highest regard, how could anyone who studied even a little bit about her life not realize how utterly wonderful, awe inspiring, just how incredible she was❤ I believe she knew just how special Princess Catherine is, and she passed knowing the Monarchy will be in good hands, no matter what ❤

    Unfair treatment of Catherine.

    And when Catherine wears the jewelry, she is criticized for being entitled and out of touch. You just can't win.

    I loved it when Queen Camilla, spotted the pastry giggled and then told King Charles to take a look... The lady has a great sense of humour and personally, I think she has been wonderful for King Charles. As for the Princess of Wales, I bet she could dress in a potato sack and still look elegant, with her high street fashion accessories. Regardless of the price, she always looks beautiful.

    Let us remember the person who was the absolute opposite and she dragged her husband away from the UK. The Princess of Wales is gracious, kind, hard working for charities and for her family. Thank goodness they have the Princess of Wales to represent the Royal Family!!!

    I love the way the Princess of Wales dresses. I think she has marked her transition from the Duchess of Cambridge by upping her game, including some more expensive clothing, but it's been done subtly and in good taste. You should be proud of your Princess!

    Who even cares what Vogue thinks. She isn't a Hollywood star. She always looks fantastic.

    So what are we looking at here: the princess of wales is highly intelligent, very hard working, deeply committed to her work within the royal family, has taken her time to decide which projects she wanted to take on, a natural with people, warm hearted, considerate and clearly has a wonderful sense of fun and humour, does not take herself all that seriously. She represents this country flawlessly, is clearly a great mother and gives the prince of wales a sense of confidence and lightness.
    Oh, i seem to have forgotten that she is utterly beautiful, stylish, dresses so well (mind you with a figure like that she does not know how to look bad), knows exactly what suits her and what suits the occasion, in short i think that the uk are soooo lucky to have her.
    So anyone who writes negative things about her makes me think that maybe they are jealous.

      @HarrysGingerMerkin I'm asking because last week, in Jo's absence, the details were NOT posted!!
