I don't hate the hat. I like that the coat is a rewear. I want the earrings. If Andrew could just disappear from the face of the earth that would be great. It was nice to see Bea's stepson there. Nice summation. I did like what I could see of the earrings.

I feel like the hat and dress should either match or contrast for Kate. Like the colors are different enough to not be a monochromatic look but close enough that they don’t complement each other. I also hate the boob pockets. Why? Just why?

So, I don’t think that Will respects Kate on a fundamental level. I think he doesn’t resent her (like Chuck did Diana) and that he has grown to love her as his wife and the mother of his children. However, he views their dynamic as someone with the power and she is less than him. She chased him for years and he relented. I think he likes her and enjoys her company when things are good, but he also has taken a lot of the ugly traits of being raised royal to heart. I sincerely doubt that Kate ever wins a disagreement on anything important because Will has all of the real say. *To me* that shows a lack of respect for your partner, even if you love them.
Will appears better by default because prior to Meg and Harry all of the other contemporary royal marriages were hot mess, dumpster fires.

I feel like they were told, dress festive but somber for the Christmas walk and they just couldn’t pull it off. They would have been better off with their burgundy brigade looks.
The mismatch olives and the multiple non-matching blues were a weird combination. And don’t get me started on the boob pockets. Someone should also tell them that flat brim hats are hard to pull off and none of them are doing it right.

Louis was adorable, but you can already see the dynamic that is being set up and I don’t like it.
George is the quiet, steady future monarch. Charlotte is the hard working, expert keeping George on track (aka future Anne doing all the work with little credit/praise). Louis is the rascal who will keep all the heat off of George with his antics.

Louis is the rascal who will keep all the heat off of George with his antics. I've noticed this too. Especially in the Christmas walk photos. George looks almost sad in every single photo. No 9 year old should look that somber. Can't they see that they're just repeating previous mistakes? You'd think at least Kate would see it and try to prevent it. Ugh. I feel for the kids. They didn't choose this, and their childhoods are being stolen just like William/Harry's, Charles/Anne/Edward's, Elizabeth/Margaret's, etc.

I’m so glad Harry and Meghan got out. For their sakes but also for their kids’ well-being. Their lives will be so much better than those of their first cousins.

Idk that we’ve seen enough to make guesses like “Kate never wins an argument.”

Kate looks like a depressed Carmen Sandiego in that get up.

I actually like Kate's outfit, hat and all--it's different for her. Minus the boob pockets. I love the color for her, but it’s giving me a little bit of Carmen Sandiego vibes. Ope.

I believe it's definitely possible Kate has said she'd look the other way for affairs as long as it's kept secret. She knew the life and the lifestyle.
She will never leave or give it up. I honestly don't think it really goes much deeper than that

Anne has been MIA for these festive family things. I’m speculating she’s really grieving a lot this season.

Isn’t politico usually normal? According to AllSides, they are left-leaning. I guess that doesn't make them immune to having some bad eggs on staff.

I love how everyone "awws" and he looks around like, "what the hell?" Like it's a normal thing and he doesn't understand their fascination with him handing her flowers. I am sad his normalcy will be crushed.
