This is just out of curiosity and I don't mean to sound negative as it's just a general question, but by putting "respectfully" in brackets, does this imply that you feel my post in reply to your original one quoting mine was disrespectful or offensive? Because if so, I apologise for sounding negative, as that wasn't my intention.
Yes, I did say that Duke was being a little harsh, but I did not say that he or she was attacking the AAA's. I respectfully disagree with your observation that I made it sound like that that's what he or she was doing, but I guess everyone has different views on how certain sentences were phrased.
Apologies again if this post comes across as negative as this is honestly not my intention.

Exactly, sorry for being misunderstood by some posters, 'ugh' meant 'sigh' and its all about fashion/dressing alike in this case

@HereditaryPrincesss: Didn't have anything to do with you at all. I approve of respectful criticism, not of disrespectful criticism and that was what I was trying to get across. I think we might have turned this into a discussion completely irrelevant to the thread, if there's anything else, let's take it elsewhere instead of clogging up this thread and spare the mods for having to delete posts

Thanks for the conformation and once again I apologise.
Moving on to a different discussion: I thought little Prince George looked adorable in his red outfit when departing from his tour with William and Catherine.

And then there are those of us who long ago realized this is that particular poster's typical way of posting, in order to bait people around here by saying things that barely skiffer along the line of breaking the rules around here, and have them on ignore. It makes checking things out around here far more enjoyable.

Does anyone recall Catherine's shopping trip to the Gap (I think) when she bought a gingham shirt onesie (long sleeves but no legs)? I was looking forward to seeing him in that kind of cowboy shirt, but was disappointed! I wonder if he outgrew it before he got a chance to wear it? My son used to put on weight, and then he would sprout up taller. I could always tell when he was about to have a growth spurt because he got chunky first. Anyway, hope Kate didn't have to return it.

I just thought how awful it would be to have your whole life google-able. I found this in about 2 seconds.

I think Estelle looks cute with the bow, and I love Leonore's blue dress.

Or perhaps Catherine was annoyed that the Gap told the tabloids what she bought and returned everything to the store. I know I would be furious if stores ran to the press to tell them everything I buy.
There was also a "report" in the Daily Fail that the Duchess had ordered a bespoke, $35K gown from Ralph&Russo(?) for the trip but she never wore anything even close to that on the trip. My point being, you can never entirely believe what is printed about the Duchess.

Leonore's dress is adorable and I love the little ducks. Like dbarn67, I think smocked dresses on little girls are sweet. I'm not sure how I feel about Estelle's dress, and her bow is a little on the large side, and I usually like Estelle's bows. I think I'll give her a pass as she was adorable today, and her coat is nice and smart.

Leonore's dress is very sweet. Smocked dresses are a must for any little girl in my opinion. Estelle's coat is okay, I'm not a huge fan of little girls wearing back unless it's polka dots.

George's white outfit from his arrival in Australia was Belgian
Prins George draagt Belgische outfit - De Standaard
Désirée Hohenlohe, designer of the brand Les Petites Abeilles, sent the suit with blue boats to the British Royals as a present when George was born
She had never expected he would wear it, but he did! Hohenlohe got a thank you letter.

Little George's note to self:
Outgrow that little suit as fast as possible.
