?75 a head for lunch, and people still had to bring their own drinks?

Why is Kate hiding since she should not be drinking alcohol? William looks like he brought his alcohol.

I guess those 24 hour paps were asleep since they missed out on a photo of Harry & Meghan.

QuoteBut according to a source, party-goers had to bring their own alcohol due as the restaurant had recently had its licence revoked.

Nice choice for a celebration.   :xmas19:

QuoteDiners quaffed on three courses starting with a choice of salmon, avocado vignette, and wild mushroom soup before tucking into a choice of five main courses.

The title of the thread mentions William, Kate, Harry, Meghan and daddy. Who is daddy?

Charles was taken out of the DM article, updated.

Yes since only W&K were photographed they were probably the only ones there & with Kate hiding the way they did in their clubbing days. Plus the royals do not generally spend that much on employees so it could have just been W&K on a night out.

Beautiful dress ... I can't believe this Day has come but let me say it ... Kate has better hair than Megan and it's even better since she cut the length a while ago ... it shouldn't be difficult for her to be the Di of the situation since she looks 100 times better that Megan especially when she tries ...

I think it has more to do with the on call hairdresser Kate has.

^ No it has everything to do with Kate being more attractive ... with the end of her pregnancy Kate will be free to up he fashion game and she has more money to do it ... poor Megan ... the wake up call will be brutal ...

All in the eyes of the beholder.

Personally I think without the heavy make up and weird faces and with some help from a good stylist Kate won't have to worry about Megan ... pretty or not it will always all be about Kate anyways ... she just needs to up her game in the work department and by September very few will remember Megan ... Kate will still be the future Queen Consort ...

Kate's and Meghan's hair is about the same to me, though Meghan's is longer. I think both need good hair trims. Both are individuals and I think it unfortunate that this "rivalry" is set up down to their hair.  They are two different women. Two different people.

Yes, the same Kate who took a long time to learn to weigh her skirt and she had those unfortunate wardrobe malfunctions captured on film. Kate IMO is no fashion icon though she dresses fine. They are two different people. I think Meghan is a very attractive woman.

I think it's unfortunate that just as Kate takes some risks fashion wise she always becomes pregnant ... she is forced into boring coats as a result ... I think the having babies is out of the way so we should see interesting developments on that front ... Kate is very pretty she just needs to stop being so save all the time with fear to be criticized ...

^^^We know that Kate is reusing some of the outfits that she wore when pregnant with Charlotte as this pregnancy follows a similar timeline. Post-partum, I think she'll have something forgiving, attractive, but nothing that says "fashion risk" for leaving the hospital and Harry/Meghan's wedding.

imo meghan dresses (exception being when she was at polo and harry's friend wedding) 1000x better than kate... she has never dressed like a old woman which kate often does IMO

Why are you turning it into a competition. I assure you, you care about this far more than either Kate or Meghan does.

always becomes pregnant? She only had three pregnancies since 2011. I never saw her take any real risks between pregnancies.

I think Kate will pretty much stay with the same style she always had. Fascinators and all. I doubt she'll branch out much.
