Kidding, of course.</p> <p>I am dying that the queen had pantyhose in her clutch. I would have expected that a staffer would have a full kit for her off to the side in case of a wardrobe malfunction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824182 Wed, 23 May 2018 01:46:34 +0000 808love 2824182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been carrying a clutch lately. It has a phone, pens, credit card, keys and lipstick. I think that's what they have! :) And maybe an emergency GPS tracker/security device?? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824090 Tue, 22 May 2018 15:25:19 +0000 psw27 2824090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: LOL good question. These are people who don't even have last names technically so I'm fairly confident they don't carry wallets. I would say lipstick and makeup at most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824081 Tue, 22 May 2018 14:19:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2824081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guess is a slim cellphone, lipstick and blotting paper. Their escort probably carries the cash, credit cards and ID for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824078 Tue, 22 May 2018 13:43:51 +0000 Alba4 2824078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I read this too in a NY Times article about the royals. Women carry clutches to avoid having to shake the hands of commoners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824054 Tue, 22 May 2018 12:16:17 +0000 MrsMom 2824054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know they said something during the royal wedding that the Queens clutch fell open once and it was an extra pair of pantyhose, lipstick and a makeup compact. That they don't carry any cash on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824052 Tue, 22 May 2018 12:15:04 +0000 Mrsbells 2824052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my guess is cellphone, lip gloss, and mirror </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824050 Tue, 22 May 2018 12:09:40 +0000 mediagirl 2824050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They're probably empty. I read somewhere royals carry clutches so they don't have to shake hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824047 Tue, 22 May 2018 12:02:25 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2824047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Agreed - I don't feel like they have a need to carry cash or a credit card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824045 Tue, 22 May 2018 11:54:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2824045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it’s a phone, lipstick.... and yeah that’s probably it. Do they even need to carry a credit card? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-in-the-clutch#post-2824039 Tue, 22 May 2018 11:35:59 +0000 Mamaof2 2824039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We know the royals carry clutches - they always seem so flat/empty.</p> <p>What do you think is inside?<br /> Do you think they have phones? makeup? it's empty?? :silly: </p> [attach=4342/18/p9523z.446x600.ex-today-180522-02_84738adc16fa630d226e1efe61c50424.fit-560w.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding/page/2#post-2823839 Mon, 21 May 2018 14:55:44 +0000 Mrsbells 2823839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didnt watch it but saw clips. Loved the simplicity of everything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding/page/2#post-2823785 Mon, 21 May 2018 12:22:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2823785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: the official photos were released and the Queen’s green is not as jarring in the pics. Everyone looks so good in the photo. Kate’s ensemble reads more yellow. I loved Meghan’s veil too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823782 Mon, 21 May 2018 12:09:47 +0000 Mrs D 2823782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD and I watched. My girls get up at about 630/7 anyways, so it worked out well. Here are my thoughts:</p> <p>1) I was so impressed by Meghan. I feel she represented the US so well. I dont know her well to have had any specific thoughts on what she'd wear but I just wanted it to be classy - and it was.<br /> 2) That veil...in love...major swoon.<br /> 3) I loved the simple makeup look. I just really love her (and Princess Catherine) as positive examples for my girls. They dress appropriately and wear at least natural looking makeup.<br /> 4) I was meh over her reception dress.<br /> 5) Princess Harry is the cutest<br /> 6) Princess Charlotte tried to steal the show, it was so cute<br /> 7) I actually enjoyed the sermon...the whole service was well executed!</p> <p>DD kept calling her the Wedding Girl...it was cute. She also remark that the Queen "made a bold outfit choice"...I told her she's the queen and is still killin it at 92, she can do what she wants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823734 Mon, 21 May 2018 09:31:59 +0000 snowjewelz 2823734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@muffinsmuffins: I agree! It's way nostalgic for me. I remember Princess Diana, and William/Harry, etc. </p> <p>I am sad that she's getting so much flack for her dress! I mean yes, it's kind of plain and may not be the most flattering for her. But girl, wear what you want, do whatever you want! I LOVE the light make-up on her. I think all the simple-ness allowed her to just shine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823567 Sat, 19 May 2018 21:02:12 +0000 Mama Bird 2823567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't watch, but the photos are lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823548 Sat, 19 May 2018 18:32:51 +0000 erinbaderin 2823548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched it with my boys, although I watched it on my phone while they toggled their attention between it and Madagascar. My oldest (4) was really into having all the princesses and princes and Queen and “King” pointed out. My littlest (2) kept touching Harry on the screen and saying “he beautiful! He beautiful!” </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823547 Sat, 19 May 2018 18:23:18 +0000 petitenoisette 2823547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@muffinsmuffins: agreed on why it’s so popular. I was texting with a friend and we were wondering what message we were sending to our daughters but decided that sometimes it’s just nice to enjoy something magical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823544 Sat, 19 May 2018 17:10:02 +0000 Autumnmama79 2823544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watched it, loved it! Can’t stop looking at pictures of it :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823529 Sat, 19 May 2018 14:03:04 +0000 lady baltimore 2823529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am bored by wedding ceremonies when I know the people, so I definitely didn't set the alarm to watch this one. I am enjoying looking at the pictures of everyone's get-ups, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823527 Sat, 19 May 2018 13:12:06 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2823527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did! I rolled out of bed just as Meghan was stepping out of the car. It was fun to watch.</p> <p>As for why there’s so much hype, I think it’s the nostalgia factor as well as the fact that there isn’t a lot of things these days that the entire world can watch and enjoy and be happy about for a few hours. I’m 33 and remember when Princess Diana died and William and Harry were total teen heartthrobs growing up. Now all those women and their moms are into the royal wedding. Of course the royals are not relevant anymore, and I bet we won’t hear as much about them after it all dies down...I guess until Meghan gets pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823525 Sat, 19 May 2018 12:19:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2823525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: Same. I am honestly puzzled by all the hype amongst adult women. It’s not like the royal family is particularly progressive or represents what we want to teach our kids....Not intending any hate! I’m honestly just surprised by all the interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823522 Sat, 19 May 2018 10:22:04 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2823522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang! Meghan took us to church!! </p> <p>The church looked beautiful and everyone just looked so happy and relaxed. I liked her dress, but thought it looked heavy in this weather (mine maybe not the UK). LO got a kick out of seeing the horses during the carriage ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823520 Sat, 19 May 2018 09:40:24 +0000 ElbieKay 2823520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really like what the royal family represents, so I am not watching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823422 Fri, 18 May 2018 09:45:39 +0000 Miss Ariel 2823422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I’m so excited. Of course it was a lot easier waking up for William and Kate’s wedding since it was before kids. Plus it was on a weekday so I took the day off from work! But this time will be a little harder to function afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823399 Fri, 18 May 2018 08:25:22 +0000 Mrs D 2823399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: My mom and I were discussing this earlier today...she remarked that she would be pissed bc she'd want to walk her daughter down the aisle. But then in almost the same breathe she said "but it is nice for him, since he has no daughters he may not get to do it"...</p> <p>So I guess if they are close or she was apprehensive about her mom doing it than its nice. From what I have seen/heard about her mom she is a very normal person, not into the spot light or anything, the idea of walking her down the aisle may have been too much or intimidating....I could easily see that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823386 Fri, 18 May 2018 07:59:18 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2823386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: something about it just weirds me out like she is 100% theirs now. Before that was announced I Googled if Gina Torres and Lawrence Fishburne were in London for the wedding. IDK maybe they were close and he could walk her down or something, but he’s no longer with Gina and likely wasn’t invited to the wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823385 Fri, 18 May 2018 07:54:39 +0000 Mamaof2 2823385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think its nice but if it were me I would have wanted my mom to walk me down if my Dad wasn't around </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-watch-the-royal-wedding#post-2823382 Fri, 18 May 2018 07:40:15 +0000 cake2017 2823382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Yes!!!! We will DVR and watch later as 4am is alittle too early for me to be in front of the TV haha but I love the Royals :) </p>
