I don’t know if it’s weird, but my most favorite, most iconic Catherine’s outfits that knocked me out of my socks were her funeral outfits for prince Phillip’s and the queen’s funerals. Simply iconic, seeping with somber elegance, poise and strength all in one picture. Did I say iconic?:)

[@gaiamorgosi7181]

Not weird at all, she managed to look incredibly powerful and dignified in such a difficult situation, she had to look perfect as she was entering a new, very important chapter of her life, she had to (and did) look surreal, a queen on duty, aware of herself and her role.

[@jpr455]

I always think that Diana, Catherine and Meghan all took/take very different approaches to clothes. I think that Diana loved clothes, she probably spent hours looking at fashion mags and once she found her grove she was the best dressed woman of her time. (I am old enough that I remember her wedding, which happened before she found her groove IMO). I think that Catherine is very different. For her, clothes are part of the job, and she is very diligent and works hard, with her team, to put together the right outfit down to the tiniest detail. She thinks hard about the message she wants to send and buys clothes with a view to the long term and gets them tailored to fit. But, for her, the appearances she makes are more about the cause, the people, the reason behind the visit or whatever. The clothes are a uniform and she gets it right and enjoys that, but the enjoyment of the clothes is secondary. Meghan? She sees something she likes and buys it. But she is lazy, she is not prepared to put in the effort to find the right outfit for the occasion. She does not do a trial run to make sure it fits or that she has the right accessories or undergarments, that's too much effort for her. She needs a good stylist, but is either too tight-fisted or to hard to work with to find and keep a good stylist. Basically, Diana was a natural clotheshorse, Catherine is a hard working professional woman and Meghan is lazy JMO

[@savannahsmiles1797]

@@savannahsmiles1797Absolutely. Without the right foundation garments *nothing* hangs correctly on one’s body. It doesn’t have to be shape wear, just bras that fit and fit the clothing style, half slips, full slips etc. MM’s red dress drove me nuts: She looked like she had inverted nipples-get a bathroom plunger, lady.

Your analysis of the three women’s approaches to clothing is spot on! And I had to chuckle when I read your comment about Diana’s wedding dress - I am old enough to remember her wearing it, too - or was the dress wearing her? But I think we all fell in love with her a little bit more that day, with her fairytale dress to wear when she married her fairytale prince. And I agree with your analysis about Nutmeg being too lazy to find the proper undergarments. But…how hard is it to find the right bra and stick to that style? It’s not like she’s got a full-time job doing something else!

The true stealth wealth is not only about wearing creams and neutrals , it is about looking effortlessly chicue and an immaculate fit. High price tag doesn't guarantee elegance. Meghan never understood that it is not only what you wear, but how you wear it .

[@savannahsmiles1797]

it has nothing to do with price tag.

[@ruthsmith2447]

Even the Term " Stealth Wealth" is offensive...I have always found that people with real class behave as Princess Catherine does, they give people wonderful eye contact and make you feel as if you are worth talking to and matter. As for "stealth" they do not flaunt, which is a completely different thing, any "stealth" Re clothing or Jewellery is because of taste/decorum.

Catherine has natural style & wears clothes & jewellery without expecting to get freebies like M does

[@sassynfree884]

That’s the difference between grace and grift😉

[@kittikats]

Also royals aren't supposed to get freebies. Royals opinions and endorsements shouldn't be for sale. It's why they don't talk politics and often aren't seen shopping in designer stores. In fact royals have to pay for their own clothes and should mainly wear their own countries clothes. It puts the tax payers dollars back into the economy. When overseas obviously buy and wear items from your host country but as is appropriate.

[@kittikats]

It's another reason MMs wedding dress was innapropriate. It was by French design house Chloe and not a British one like Kate's (Alexander McQueen). All the world's eyes on you, you're joining the British royal family and instead of supporting your new country and your husbands kingdom ... you buy a dress from their historic enemies, France? Your going to give free advertising to France and boost their economy with British tax payers dollars? Really winning over the royals.

I find your insights on etiquette and dressing appropriately for the occasion really educational. I do love the princess of wale’s style , although in her earlier days as a new royal she dresses slightly too mature or matronly sometimes . Recently however she has been killing it with the power suits , love the shift in style to more sophisticated and chic looks but still never flashy and always appropriate. The Meg however, I have find her having more miss than hits, some outfits are not too bad , most times though it is atrocious (ps Carolina Herrera red dress). Hair and makeup always messy, and don’t even get me started on the underwear . The other problem I noticed is that the megs posture tend to make cloths not sit in the right place , hyper extended knees and back. Not to mention she never tailor her clothes to fit properly . Money can’t buy you taste , and especially when there is air in your head refusing to take advice from those who know better

There are always expectations for every job or occasion, from grannies for dirty jobs up to formal events. It just makes life easier to dress for what you are doing.

A story from the 80s was that Margaret Thatcher was embarrassed when she and the late Queen both wore navy blue at an event. Her office asked the Palace in future to tell them what color the Queen would be wearing. The alleged reply was "Her Majesty doesn't notice what other people are wearing." Perhaps to relieve her shyness, she imagined them all to be naked!

[@chriscarson7384]

I am a few years older than Diana was, so I recall what she wore in her early days with the royal family. She wasn't naturally stylish; she made many poor choices then. But Diana was willing to listen and learn, and over time, she did develop her own style, which was wildly popular at the time and is still remembered fondly today. Catherine had the advantage of a mother who dresses well, and clearly offered guidance, as well as a long courtship, during which she clearly studied what to do. Her fabulous figure further enhances all her choices. MM, I am afraid, is just a label wh---. MM wants to boast about designer clothing and jewelry, and doesn't appear to have any sense of what looks best on her own figure.

[@factcheck5224]

😊You so sweet Beebs to give The Meg “the benefit of the doubt” about her clothing choices. I was horrified back when the photos of her first started appearing in the press, and with all we know now I just can’t agree she didn’t do it on purpose!! I think she chose clothes that she thought made her look sexy or daring!! Or was something that was really expensive so be dammed with how it looked, I’m surprised she didn’t leave the price tags on! AND she refused to listen to anyone!! Even when I am SURE she was given specific instructions like “be sure to wear a hat, tights, no bare shoulders” ~ like when she was traveling with the Queen (!!) ~ she just refused to do what anyone told her. When I saw those photos from that trip I lost any respect I might have had for The Meg, and my opinion of her just went down from there. And showing up for Prince Louis’ christening in that ugly out-of-place attention grabbing olive dress was beyond mean ~ it was evil and she did it on purpose!!! And Harry knew better and he let her do it! In the photo he looks uncomfortable and she looks smug!! If I was going to “photoshop” anything it would be to change the color of her dress! Or take the Duplicitous Duo out of the picture completely and put a large potted plant in their place!! 😢

Thanks Beebs, and Merry Christmas! I love the paired photos of Charles as a young and old(er) man, not only wearing the same garments, but in exactly the same postures - hands firmly in pockets, etc! And the suit jacket that was actually patched - wow! The difference between the royals and M is that when a royal 'promotes' an item of clothing or jewellery, they are doing it so that the maker/designer, and the industry as a whole, if it is a British or Commonwealth one, can get the benefit of the publicity. Unlike M, they don't do it for personal gain. Similarly, they dress appropriately for events in order to not draw more attention than necessary to themselves. They are there in a supporting role, not as the stars. M has never understood this.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

The psychology of fashion is interesting to me. Princess Diana was a pro at it. There is even a book about it, “ The Lady Di Book: What Diana Was Trying to Tell Us Through Her Clothes,” by Eloise Moran. The arch villain, First Lady Trump, famously wore her “I Don’t Care, Do You,” jacket on a visit to a refugee center in the U.S. Dressing for the occasion was something that used to be ingrained in our education. I remember my grandmother teaching me what “ladies” wore when, what ladies never showed, and what ladies never wore. I don’t think we do that anymore, but it was considered part of etiquette and having good manners.

Ironically Queen Camilla actually dislikes being in the limelight, she dislikes being the focus of attention and it says A LOT about the love she has for both Charles AND her country that despite this she stepped into a role that she has NEVER wanted (because she is shy and doesn't like being the focus of attention) and is willingly doing the one thing she hates. Becoming the centre of attention. As to the soft power, seems that Queen Camilla did more for DIOR when she wore that stunning dress on the state visit to France - and it was all FREE publicity as well - than any of the ''paid'' models or ''face of Dior'' have done (allegedly one reason Meghan never stood a chance with Dior, why use her - and have to pay her even if only in cheaper clothing - when you can have the Queen of the UK look absolutely stunning in a dress by you and get instant WORLDWIDE publicity).

The Harkles never stood a chance with Dior. By now, every fashion house is aware of their reputation for being difficult.

[@wiggly103]

😂😂😂 if she didn’t like the limelight she could have chosen not to marry Charles or go by the title Queen instead of Queen consort. She and Charles definitely worked on improving her image and making her palatable to the British public- the one true observation Harry made in Spare. Harry didn’t even have to mention it, anyone who is observant would have noticed how Charles/Camilla/staff wanted it to come out to the public that Camilla was interacting with Diana’s kids and they liked her/had forgiven her. The message to the public was clear, if Diana’s kids had forgiven Camilla and liked her, the public should forgive her and accept her as the people she had most wronged had forgiven her. Camilla was slowly introduced to the public and given positive press by Charles staff to push public acceptance. Seems like Camilla didn’t mind all the titles, pomp and circumstances. If she doesn’t like the attention, then why on earth is she hosting the totally unnecessary podcast. As queen , doesn’t she have better things to do than imitate the ridiculous Meghan Markle. Puhleeze.

I love her sentimental choices where her thoughtfulness shows through. I love how royals rewears outfits. Catherine rewears her outfits and it is interesting hows she style it differently. Meghan doesn’t think about her audience and she thinks expensive is better. It is not. She needs to dress for the occasion and also for her body. I love how Catherine mixes and matches high street, designer & couture clothing. I love how Catherine and Queen Elizabeth dressed for their event together where Queen Elizabeth whore pink and Catherine wore gray with pink accents.

Being just a year younger than Diana, I remember the highlights, lowlights & challenges of 80's fashion (think shoulder pads & boxy blazers). She did a marvelous job of making fashion fit her style, & the world followed. Catherine is truly today's Icon of classic & classy, all while remaining accessible & relatable. She knows what works for her & she wears everything with absolute confidence (as Diana did). I could rhapsodize for hours on Catherine's perfection, but you spoke so eloquently on that already. As for Camilla, she is truly blooming i n her new role as Queen Consort. I feel she waited a respectful period of time (I believe) in the spirit of bygone days, when you wore subdued colors when in mourning for the loss of a much loved family member. Now she has truly begun to shine with these beautiful, strong colors that suit her so well and befit her position. The Meg is a lost cause. She won't ever take advice, or learn from her mistakes. She believes she is perfect, & always knows best. She will continue to be a dismal disaster, and an absolute fashion failure. Thanks for another highly entertaining & educational video.

We have to forgive Princess Diana, Duchess Fergie for 1980s clothing, you can't understand that literally nothing else was available. Everyone wore humongous maternity wear, shoulder pads (with strong shoulders I cut out when possible), super bright or patterns on everything!

[@BloodHead-]

The problem with the negative opinions of Princess Catherine's style is: -They don't make a distinction between Royal and Celebrity, even if British, a royal is a royal. -they may not understand the British culture, though speaking English, it's not a monolith, nor is it the same in any Commonwealth country, and especially, NOT America. -Princess Diana or maybe it was Queen Elizabeth, wore couture of the country they visited or of visitors to the UK. Case in point, Dior I'd French, Queen Camilla naturally wore Dior to the state visit in France. I'm sure the couture was planned well before the Dior potential for The Meg. -i believe that Queen Elizabeth once surmised that she liked wearing bright colors out to many occasions because she was short and believed she should be seen by the people. She was NOT an invisible monarch. -The Meg still chases notoriety but cannot overcome being notorious. She did not want royal lessons. She did not want the royal life, just the royal treasure and stardom. We saw this in every single outfit she wore and wears, and especially, the way she poses as she did recently in a too long Beige off the shoulder outfit. Nothing is specially designed for her, not even the awful inverted nipple red dress. -The Meg is a trend follower, Princess Catherine though, IS NOT a trend setter. Though she may set some trends, it's not and never has been her focus. She isn't LOOK AT MEEE! While The Meg walks around in parking lots speed dialing paps, a Princess, even Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, plus Dutchess Sophie, and OMG Princess Ann, do their best to represent their station to which they were married into, or born into.

When Queen Elizabeth II was living, I noticed that Catherine would generally wear pastels on appearances with the Queen. She knew the Queen would be in bright colors, and I think the pastels were a good symbol that Catherine was a queen in training. Catherine saved the bright colors for appearances involving herself only, where she would be the royal to command attention. I remember I had imprints from the strapless bra I had to wear to prom for three days after. It was obviously not well fitted, and was so uncomfortable! I threw that thing away! I think Queen Camilla dresses very well to flatter her body. The Bruce Oldfields are great on her and beautiful clothes.

I thought that was absolutely ridiculous that she said that Catherine mixes high-end and more affordable jewelry to make her fit in and be approachable at the appropriate events when she is doing a white tie event with a tiara she wears all of the jewelry impeccably. But she also looks beautiful and some more affordable pieces for other events where appropriate. This was such an outstanding video you did such an amazing job putting this whole thing together thank you so much! 10 thumbs up:-)

[@Sk8Bettty]

I am totally in love with Catherine. Like, totally. No homo. Thank the Lord God above that William was born first. I love seeing The Princess Of Wales smiling and laughing. She’s awesome.

[@getoutofdodge]

Perfect analysis Beebs. To me. Meghan decided to make sure she stood out and was never going to follow the rules of etiquette for occasions. Thanks for all your fabulous advise on fashion . So enjoy your information.

[@lisageilhausen1866]

I liked this video and your insight into clothes wearing and the special occasion and being appropriate and yet comfortable. Nice job Beebs!

[@sassynfree884]

Catherine is so perfect, she’s almost surreal!

[@ziigy4545]

Beebs, thank you for sharing your knowledge about the importance of dressing well and correctly for every event. That cannot be understated. We all make snap judgements based on that first glance, cause we need to - it's a fight or flight assessment. Your explanation of the soft power/appropriate dress for the event is a brilliant explanation of the subtlety of public presentation. So many kudos to you, my dear! Merry Christmas and thank you for the bonus vid. Enjoy the holiday with your littles! (Really, time flies, enjoy each moment as they occur!) Edited to express my gratitude of your incredible kindness. You are very understanding to someone who doesn't deserve it, making you a much nicer person than I. My contempt of the Meg is well earned, but you cut her more slack than she deserves. An early Xmas gift perhaps? I do applaud your impartialiy tho. And you delivered the analysis while looking radiant! Chef's kiss!💋

[@joyceclarke9210]

What a truly amazing fashion icon Catherine is, she never fails to look absolutely stunning and I never tire of seeing clips and photos of her. To me, she is absolute perfection. I find your tips and advice on fashion so interesting and invaluable Beebs, especially now as my son is marrying his fiancé in May and I have the daunting task of hunting down the perfect outfit so i want to thank you for all your knowledge and hard work in bringing us these wonderful videos. 🇬🇧

[@Catlady07]

The more I see of Catherine the more I admire her innate sense of style - especially compared to a certain wrinkly clothed mess.

[@1745ohbloodyhell]

The mores have changed so much since the 80s. Diana wore designer only and had, until the end when she went far more for skirt suits, no particular style. She just wore designer clothes and had huge, huge choice. Always looked appropriate. These days the public wouldn't go for tbat sort of dressing, it only highlights how much money they have available to spend on clothing.. do YOU have hundreds of coats, hundreds of handbags? So Catherine wears a lot of High Street clothing and looks wonderful in all of it. She helps British fashion - her clothing sells out immediately, a great advertisement for UK wares. Thrm's MY thoughts.

[@user-xq6ve2gq7s]

A most enjoyable video, there were occasions when Diana's fashion choice was off but once she and Charles separated her fashion became more sophisticated. Catherine is even more beautiful than Diana, her figure is enviable although some people think her too thin and wonder if she has bulimia, she has not. Catherine is very active. You are so right when you comment that Catherine has clothes that not only fit properly but are appropriate for the occasion. I love her slipping in a high street affordable outfit or accessory which is suitable for the whole design. Thank you Beebs and Merry Christmas.

[@katherinebangle540]

Hi Beebs! Love your videos and fashion advice. Please, at some point, can you do a video on the incredible and timeless style of Carolyn Bessett-Kennedy? She was such a style icon ❤ Thanks!

[@doglover7675]

I agree. She would have fit into this category too and would have become more well known over time. She and Jackie O were both timeless in their style.

[@irairod5160]

Speaking of "lewks": The shape and color of YOUR outfit flatter you greatly. Your skin looks creamy, soft, and healthy against that subtle pink, and your makeup is just enough to enhance, not detract from, your features. I hope you're enjoying the holiday season!

[@000Melike000]

I just feel like you give the best names to your videos. Always makes me smile when I read them😂

[@katy4639]

Such a lovely video! I don’t think she realizes how fortunate she was to have people to help with her wardrobe. It really is part of a bigger picture.

[@TheSofres]

Catherine has definitely matured in her clothing choices as well. She dresses appropriately for her job and to represent her family. HW dresses like she’s a poor teen that went to a second hand store for her first “big girl” job. I also like how Catherine wears certain pieces of jewelry that Diana wore which must burn HW. 😂

[@dominaevillae28]

I didn’t notice how awkward everyone’s knees look in dresses until Katherine started wearing longer dresses. Maybe it’s more that knees don’t photograph well😅.

[@sharonlamey9919]

You look beautiful on this video. That shirt with your up-do works so well. The POW is such a wonderful example of knowing your body, knowing who you are, knowing thousands of people are looking at your image, and representing the royal family, the designers, and the British fashion industry.

[@chexpression2822]

Your commentary is so insightful and accurate. We love you Beebs!

[@LVMT124]

Loved this bonus video, Beebs! For normals and empaths, your reasoning would be 💯 on point. For narcissists like Harry’s wife, however, their behaviors are solely guided by the narcissism. Harry’s wife acts awkwardly or wants to leave events quickly ONLY because she wasn’t the center of attention. 😢

[@oldtiredm53]

Finally able to view this on 12/26/23 (Boxing Day to the Brits, I think). Anyway, thank you for your informative and fun videos, Beebs. ❤👍

[@kitsapkorner7761]

Beebs - Never thought I would be into fashion, what guy is. However, I've enjoyed Catherine's fashion choices, often looking great in value items. Well, I've now watched a dozen of your videos out of the last 20. Your being on with Jen of Real Housewives was my introduction to you. You have great points.

[@debraforsyth6759]

Love you descriptive analysis Beebs.Very thought provoking. Katharine always looks wonderful as does Camilla. Love to hear you do a piece on Mary Donaldson of Denmark. I think she is the most beautifully turned out Royal, always gets it right and wears all colours and jewels to make the most marvellous outfits.

[@marietgagliardi]

When Diana was first engaged to Charles, she made a few fashion mistakes but she learned quickly and was soon impeccable

[@carolmartha8449]

I love that you look well pulled together and talks about class and fashion , I would absolutely hire you , be8ng a dermatologist resident can’t wait to make my salary so I could afford a stylist like you

[@pammienakh]

Good video ! Proper dress is a polite way to show respect for yourself, others and the occasion.

[@himurahaibara1459]

IMO everytime Catherine wear some sort of fish net (i don't know the exact term) as veil it's always iconic. Dare i say her funeral looks are iconic, especially that one photograph where she looked to the side from inside her car. I was like, "daaayyum". Last but not least, i must say KC got style!

[@revk8611]

I think you are being so diplomatic when describing M’s clothing faux pas. Well done

[@theguest4516]

Can't believe it's Christmas Eve already!!! 😱😮‍💨😱 Hope you're better prepared than I. Just worn out. Take care and have fun!!! 😎😃😎

[@saradecapua3264]

That white dress Catherine is wearing at 6:07 is almost impossibly beautiful on her. But then everything she wears is beautiful. I think she could make wearing a garbage bag look great. More than her style, it's that attitude she has that elevates her.

[@janknight9221]

I love bonus videos. Thank you so much Beebs. Have a very Merry Christmas everyone. ps I love your earrings. 😄😀😀

[@nicolegovaerts5500]

I love your pale pink outfit today Beebs, this pull over looks very sweet and confortable and suits you perfectly !

[@ihave7631]

Catherine has always had the ability to look in a mirror and not lie to herself

[@jcwittig]

She wears the right jewels to the right occasion.

[@user-xw2zv8fc7m]

The Princess of Wales wears jewels naturally, she conducts herself so composedly that it's never overpowering to look, even when she has major pieces like Queen Mary's Lovers Knot. She never allows the jewellery to be the focal point of her appearance, that's why people look for the good meaning and reason when she wears them. She understands.

[@joanneburford6364]

I've loved watching your channel this year and learnt so much. Merry Aussie Christmas hun, see you in 2024 🎉

[@BeebsKelley]

Happy holidays! 💛

[@Sandra-Gibora]

Beebs, asthe end of the year nears, I would like to take a moment to focus on you! You always look 100% impeccable in every video. And also you have taught me so much about fashion this year! And you kept it entertaining and elegant the whole time. Thank you for that and keep up the good work and in the meantime I hope you have very happy holidays.

[@BeebsKelley]

Thank you 💛

[@dees3179]

Slight tangent, but you make a really valid point at the end. My body hurts and my clothes are often very uncomfortable, even though they are ‘sensible’. It absolutely does stop me being fully present. I look at other peoples in their clothes and do think they look like they are comfortable. How do they do it. It must be so nice. I’ve recently found out why I have these problems, but this distraction is a real issue so if you are able to mitigate it, it’s worth doing. Off to look for some non distracting socks!

[@auntyvenom133]

Life’s too short to wear uncomfortable clothes. Fit & material are key. Oh, & never, ever wear uncomfortable underwear. They will ruin your day

[@Heidi51616]

M doesn’t respect anything or anyone.

[@praktyknlp]

For me Queen Camilla is a hat icon. I love every single one 👍❤️

[@doublehelix2609]

You have a real talent for explaining fashion-specifically the do’s and don’ts. Your knowledge of how to use fashion to make an impression or send a symbolic message of unity is impressive. I always admired Diana’s taste in fashion, and am glad to see that Catherine has the same excellent fashion sense. So far, I’ve never seen Catherine in an outfit that didn’t look good-I can’t say the same for Meghan; she could really use your help! Although I enjoy learning about fashion from you, I am not really into fashion. I wore a uniform at work and jeans and muck boots on the weekends. Anyway, thank you for your excellent videos! I really think you could take your knowledge of fashion and make a professional career out of it in the media. Good luck!🍀 Regards from Northeast USA🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

[@cricket8438]

Thank for your hard work! It is always appreciated!! BTW, you look amazing in pink! 🥰🥰🥰

[@phineas117]

Catherine is iconic. do something on Princess Margaret. in the day, she was gorgeous!! Merry Christmas!!

[@lisaalane7694]

I am a fashion illiterate. But queen Elizabeth and Princess Anne and their wearing a head scarf is a standout for me.

[@hl6876]

Oh my Beebs you are so right. X

[@eileenhiggins8620]

Fantastic Beebs . Have a great holiday ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ElisabethChytil-hw4fs]

I am of that certain age of people having grown up in those times where shoes were repaired, same goes for clothes😊 and yes, I still to this day take care of my things. Old habits die hard 😂😂

[@Alberto-wu1mj]

Another good video. I believe how you treat yourself impacts how you feel about yourself. How do you feel about yourself impacts how you treat and feel others. Clothing can be a big part of how you treat and feel about yourself.

[@factcheck5224]

❤Hi Beebs😊 I don’t know about you, or others who watch your videos, but I get really steamed when people complain about how much the Royal Family “costs the taxpayers of the United Kingdom”! Someone actually did the math and it comes out to around £1.75/per YEAR per person! And even if it was more, as you pointed out in this video, the billions they generate in the fashion industry! AND the amount of money they raise for charity and the spotlight they put on the organizations. AND the tourism!!!! And the FACT is that a lot of the expensives for the King, Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales are paid for by King Charles PERSONAL income and the Duchy of Cornwall. The tax payers DO not pay for their clothes!! William and Catherine pay rent on Adelaide cottage. They pay for their (one) nanny and their children’s school tuition out of personal funds. Probably the biggest expense to the taxpayers is for security, which I think is worth it. ❤

[@headstonelover]

i love what Princess Catherine wears. she reminds me of Queen Elizabeth.
