@Katcat1 Probably because she remembers being at the signing ending the war!

The photo shows how Kate has aged IMO. She has aged well and is very pretty, but has definitely aged (see esp. around her eyes). We had a different recent discussion about this on another thread - I'm just saying the close-up photo really points it out.
since she has an infant at home, i think it is quite likely some days she is up in the middle of the night as i understand she is quite the hands-on mother. this wreaks havoc on one's face - until rest restored. have mercy.
You know why she has aged? She is older. Also, she doesn't dress to look like a 20 year old. I think she is an intelligent woman with style and grace, and it shows! To me, she is an excellent role model for young women. Someone who has a role to play in life and wants to do it well and make a contribution to others.

I wish we had more females comfortable with being middle aged and not worried about looking "young" but worried about what they have to give. And yes, your 40s 50s an early 60s are middle aged. Middle age seems to have gotten lost somewhere.
@Sooner Of course I know why she has aged; she is older. D'uh.
Nevertheless, I commented about it.

@Pearlee Sorry because I had no intention of criticizing you about that. I'm just saying that people do age. So many post here like people shouldn't age, or that it's a bad thing. It's simple that we all do.

I apologize if you were offended. It wasn't my intent.

@Sooner Thanks very much. Another case where the written word didn't come across as intended (or how it would have been said orally). I appreciate your clarification.

Prince Charles laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of his mother for the second year in a row, as Princes Harry and William also honoured the fallen while in full military uniform.

Kate looks old, and Meghan looks bored. Is Camilla's hat big enough? LOL!!!

@manhattan1950 Hey, you just joined the chronically cynical, critical, condemning, complaining club.

I agree with the blush comment re Meghan. Very noticeable. IMO so please no bashing, i have a hard time believing Meghan fits in and those probably are not the best words to us. Kate is a true Brit. Meghan married one and can't possibly have the emotional connection to the country as kate does. The same goes for harry. I'm sure he doesn't have the emotional connection to the USA like most of us. I can't understand why some almost cheer that Meghan markle is now a Royal and she is going to change up the "stuffy" traditional Royal family to a modern one. It's tradition. It's not her job or say so to change it up. I wonder who people think she is???? Oh, she's an actress, former actress. Oops, I forgot!

What. in havens name has Meghan Markle done to cause such nasty comments? She and Harry appear to be in love and are expeting their first child. Meghan doesn't need to take advice from QVC shoppers on her makeup and attire. From everything that I have read about The Duchess she gets along very well with Prince Charles, Camilla, and the Queen. I am sure that his family is thrilled that Harry has found someone who makes him happy. I still just can't understand why some people disllike her so much. It's a mystery to me.

I agree with the first paragraph that Kate is a true Brit and it would be rather difficult for someone to step in and appreciate and understand the traditions. I do think she had on too much blush, and I do think the hand holding thing is getting to the point of being silly.

I also think maybe a few dislike her and some are simply jealous of anyone with a lot of money or in the public eye, and so it goes. I think most people here are simply giving opinions about someone in the public eye, and those opinions come with the territority.

If you don't want people talking about you, don't be on tv and don't be in the news. You can't have it both ways.

@Sooner

Uh oh. DH and I are still holding hands after 46 years of marriage - in public, yet!

@shoesnbags Well, if you are in every magazine I pick up and are a Duke and Dutchess, I'm gonna be saying stop acting like teenagers to you!!!!!!

People find fault with everything. So they hold hands, big deal! With everything wrong in the world today you would think people would find it refreshing that a couple holds hands. Just don't get the cynicism.

I'm cynical. I think it's a publicity thing pure and simple. They are grownups.

@Sooner I think you and hub deserve some publicity for still speaking to each other, let alone holding hands in public, after 45 years of marriage! LOL

My neighbors who have been married around as long as you have still - weather permitting- take walks in the evening while holding hands. I always think that's so sweet of them.

@Sooner For me the issue is not people holding hands, but the royal couples, when they are pictured, are working. This is work for them to go out dressed up and meet people. That is all the work they do and when they are working it is supposed to be for the greater good, not to make goo-goo eyes at each other and look as if they cannot wait to jump in bed together. Their job is to focus on the people, not one another. It looks like two kids in junior high holding hands in the halls between classes and it is not cute, it is not loving...it is silly. They need to do their jobs. Do you think if my husband and I worked togehter, we could walk around holding hands all day?
