@lmt Please don't think that I was commenting on you posting the pictures here. I wasn't at all.

I love Kate's green coat, I don't think it's a new one. She looks great in green. I wonder if the Queen and Camilla texted each other about wearing purple lol.

It's a tradition based on the poem In Flanders Fields. It was always a tradition here to wear them on Memorial Day, which recognizes those who died in this country. The VFW still sells them - actually for a donation - outside supermarkets - toward the end of May. The poem begins "In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row". It's about a military cemetery from WW1.

Everyone looks wonderful. The Queen does not look too happy.

@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.

@Greeneyedlady21 Thanks. I wasn't sure how to read your previous comment. I can totally understand how someone would think it was wrong to discuss fashion on such a somber occasion. I get it. I really did think twice about posting anything, but....well, I just love to see all the pretty clothes. Again, thank you for posting!!

Kate is wearing Catherine Walker. And yes, you're correct. Kate has worn the coat before. What threw me off though is that in today's picture, it looks like the velvet trim around the collar and cuffs is green velvet. When she previously wore the coat, it appears to be trimmed in black velvet. It must be the angle and flash photography. Either way, it looks good on her.

@Pearlee I think some women age when they have children. However, I would think she has a nanny looking after all three so no excuse. That is why beauty products cannot perform miracles. You have to take to the knife to try and get back that youthful look.

@Katcat1 I sure hope she never does that, but continues to age gracefully and naturally. I meant to critcism about the wrinkles. I'd rather she age with her natural beauty kept naturally. I refer you to The Joker photo of Meg Ryan on the "engaged to Mellencamp" thread!

@lmt Sorry for that, I should have made it clear from the beginning that I wasn't in any way intending to be critical of you for posting the photos. I love looking at the clothes too. It's somber but they still look their best.

Thanks for the picture of the green coat, I always love it with that shamrock pin. I believe that belongs to the Queen.

@Pearlee The statement I made is just a matter of fact. Meaning beauty products cannot perform miracles and if women want to turn back the hands of time, they would resort to surgery. None of which I am a fan.
