Yesterday, I asked if locals have a right to be concerned about King Charles’ slurry pit at Sandringham, and 78 per cent of you agreed – totally fair enough.
One Royal Clubber’s comment, by Elisabeth, amused me, stating: “I do wonder how many Royal Clubbers prefer reading about ‘Project Manure’ to the gorgeous sequin gowns of HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales.” Hopefully not too many!
Poll of the day
As you will have read, Princess Catherine looked stunning in her outfit for the German state visit today.
Catherine looked lovely and cosy in her indigo blue coat dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. She even wore some sparkly earrings that belonged to Princess Diana – a detail I thought was so special. Diana wore them on the cover of Vogue in 1994, so they carry great sentimental value.
I think Catherine really suits the darker blue, as it brings out her darker features!
What do you think of her outfit? Did she nail it again? Let me know in the comments.
