Maybe it's just me, but I think he looks very nice. (Not seeing anything wrong with his outfit.)
I agree he looks nice maybe for a night on the town or golf at the club. He is a nice looking young man.

Maybe if everyone else was dressed more casual too like his wife in a sundress and his son in a pair of shorts instead of a gown but that isn't what I'm picking up on here even by his brother. Even the other mens coats are closed for the official family photo, it doesn't seem to be a semi casual suit event for the men or woman.

I did note that Princess Diana's sisters didn't arrive in casual dresses either. Maybe he took it down a few notches cause Queen Mum declined to attend?

Very cool. :cool: Some great memories there. :)

It was your comment about the fire trucks that reminded me of when I was a kid, and our town had a 4th of July parade. We loved the fire trucks, because the firemen would throw Hoodsie ice cream cups to the kids! These ice cream cups (from Hood, a local dairy company) had a little wooden spoon inside -- it was oddly shaped, but I'd always manage to get all the ice cream out of the little cup! :hungry:

Even as old as I am, I remember those ice cream cups and tiny wooden spoons when I was a youngster. I'll bet that those spoons were soaked in some chemical that causes aging. I know that it is really starting to show up with me! There was a Hoods Dairy in our town and I had a close friend whose father worked there. I was in high school by then so it would have been extremely uncool to be eating Ice Cream with a bowtie spoon. It was alright to have some real fresh chocolate milk though. That was cool.... maybe! 🤔😕

OMG!!! You guys made me laugh. Breyer's came out recently with both Oreo and M&M Dixie Cups and well...me as I am reading this.

From one bad patient to another please take it easy! Stay well my friend xoxo

I'm trying. It is getting stronger which is my goal but it still requires Advil by the end of the day and a tad bit puffy. I am trying to build back up my step count but what I really want to do is get back on my bike. I was out on the bike before the heatwave struck and it did very well likely cause there isn't direct impact except what I had to suddenly stop and landed on the foot kinda hard. I am trying to be good. It needs to be better by my next trip.

Yea, I kept up with all of it up until about 15 or so years ago. But, it all just became too much of a drag for me.
I’ll let others, mostly ;), keep an eye on it all for now... :cool::cautious:



(Keep this on the down low, but, I didn’t even vote in the last Presidential cycle...the first one since I’ve been able to vote... :cautious::eek:o_O:jawdrop::cautious:)










I really, and honestly, did not vote..... :cyclops:

I'll keep up on the news for you. It's an odd little hobby I have -- I'm always watching local, national and international news, or reading it from the "wires" (Reuters, AP, UPI, etc.) online. Don't know why I continue to do this to myself on a daily basis, but I must be a glutton for punishment?! :p

My best 2 guesses about all this are:

1. The royal photographer may have consulted with the Royals ahead of time, and suggested that light-colored clothing may work better as a backdrop to the baby's fair skin. I also noticed that the other women in the photo all had lighter (and coordinating colors) on, that would blend with the green accents in the room. The only two "dark" colors were Charles and William -- they kinda looked like standing bookends? ;)

2. Harry and Megan are very independent. They (at least outwardly) treat each other as equals, and it may have been their decision for them to both wear light-colored clothing and nothing else. But again, my main hunch is that all of the colors on the people, were selected by a wardrobe consultant. Somehow I just can't see all of them "showing up" in whatever they felt like wearing that day, for an official photo.

Careful with Aleve, Advil, etc. Ruined my stomach when my back was at its worst in 2005. It doesn’t take years.

Tylenol is easier on the tummy but rougher on the liver.

Take the Advil with food or pepto!

You woke me up too early today.

I'm not sure what the concern is about what the "center of attention" family is wearing. It looks fine, yet, no one has mentioned whomever that is right behind them with the oversize fedora or Camilla wearing a small car on her head. I think everyone there is reflecting there own personality. No one is in jeans or tank top.

The two with the funeral suits on are definable. The one on the left is a dejected might have been King if his Mother hadn't lived as long as she has and the one on the right has to maintain the stiff upper lip of the future King, which he will surely be.

My guess is that he was sitting down and I believe men open their jackets to sit. Now in terms of his sitting position, that could be addressed, but his body language shows he is very relaxed, happy, and open to taking this family photo. In fact he seems the most approachable and least stiff of them all. Just my opinion though. The baby is cute.
