What's old Camilla done to her top lip....she's had it filled or something - it's like a bird's beak....... wait to the next close up shot and clock it - looks weird.

Wonders what size Kate and Pippa are - they look about a size 6 or something - they are tiny (bearing in mind that TV puts nearly a stone on you)..... they're so lithe.

It's a bit unusual that her bridesmaid is in white too

the whole look is stunning I have to say. Not OTT, no overflowing crinkley dress, no real 'extravagant' (i know I know) look: but the whole thing - it's been wonderfully thought out.

She's elegant looking. It's the whole idea of a commoner marrying into royalty. We've come a long way since Wallis Simpson days - yet it was only a few generations ago.

Something terribly sad that Di isn't there - I found it a bit awkward watching Camilla as she entered with Charles, standing with the Queen and Prince Philip.

They are both the perfect size

Well, it's definitely a more classic dress than Dianas was, it will age alot better.

I'm still not 100% on the difference between a commoner and not a commoner lol

My own understanding is that Royal families married into other Royal families to strengthen their allegiances ...... ie: British Royal Family marrying into another Royal family (eg: Swedish) would strengthen the allegiances between both set of Royals and toward countries. Was the old fashioned way of retaining 'power' - but it's not been enforced strictly for decades.

Diana - she was illegitimately linked to King charles II - - she was linked by blood to royalty down the line somewhere - something like that anyway - there was royal blood somewhere and subsequently, she was titled. Rembember she had a title: Lady Diana Spencer, her mother was a Baroness, and her brother (Earl Spencer) was formerly known as a Viscount.

hhmm, is that not inbreeding though?

[arista]

Yes Becks hide posh ,she has No OBE

[Niamh.]

Poshs dress looks a bit plain

[Pyramid*]

Never saw Posh !!

Awwwwh........that was lovely.

Must be getting old.....weddings never bothered me but I'm loving this one. Kate is gorgeous: natural and lovely - she's done her mammy and daddy and herself proud.

Wonder what her title will be? Anyone know? I should be aware but slap my hands, I'm not.

I am sure that she was blood linked by both sets of grandparents/great grandparents - directly to Kings on both sides of her familty (grandparents I'm sure).

But Diana was definately from Royal stock. Yes it is inbreeding but it's way down the line to avoid the typical genetic throwback.

Can't recall now: there was a fairly 'recent' Prince - Queen Victoria maybe who was 'nuts'...... perhaps too closely interbred?

Hence the desire to breed within royalty and nobility outwith ones own 'family'. Bearing in mind: the Queen and Prince Philip are from different Royal families.

Kate > Pippa

Christ, can she not lose the porno shoes for a day.

What a fool of a woman. She looks like she's going to a funeral instead of the Wedding of a Royal and the future King to be.

Wassock.
