Oh, the humanity!! Jill Biden criticized for wearing fascinator instead of hat to Queen Elizabeth's

The only thing more inane than the monarchy is this controversy

That's "DOCTOR" Jill Biden, OP.

Doesn’t the White House have SOMEONE to advise about international protocol? It’s not even “international”, because nobody would wear a twisted coat hanger on their head to a funeral service here in the US. Boris Johnson’s whore didn’t wear a proper hat, either.

Michelle Obama wouldn’t have made such a clumsy gaffe. Even Vairst Lady wouldn’t have worn such a [redacted] headpiece.

Someone of her age shouldn't wear a thin black ribbon in her hair

You had to start another fucking thread about this stupid funeral, OP?

Fuck you.

Fuck you!

FUCK YOU!!!!!

FUCK THE MONARCHY!!!!FUCK THE GODDAMNED QUEEN!!!!

She should have gone the full mantilla or a small Calder.

Well, it is a bit tacky. As a regular churchgoer to Catholic Mass with her devout husband, she should be sensitiized to the headgear issue in churches.

R7 is posting from 1935.

Last time I was at Sunday mass, people looked like they were headed to the beach or the golf course afterwards.

Shouldn't the fucking royalists/klan grannies/and other assorted miscreants be more concerned with grieving the death of this old battle axe and less with what people were wearing to said battle axe's funeral?

Her stylist should have done the proper research. Fire the stylist.

She should have gone full Joan Collins, like Kate?

I thought fascinators had to be larger than what she was wearing.

The Trump-fucking scum on Twitter are saying Jill looked like a "stripper in a church" and other assorted nonsense. They're so embarrassing.

I have to say it looked ridiculous, regardless of the occasion.

[quote] Last time I was at Sunday mass, people looked like they were headed to the beach or the golf course afterwards.

You must be posting from 1935 as well. Who the heck has been to mass in the last century?

Dr Jill is a know it all fake. Ignore her gaffs. The Bidens are every bit the crime family as the Trumps. They are just more discrete.

Did Joe blow one last fart onto the Queen's coffin?

I bet the “controversy” is sourced entirely from the viewership of Fox News. Dr Biden looked fine, and to be honest it’s one of the fee public occasions where neither she nor the president were centre of attention so no-one here in the UK seems to have noticed anyway.

Anyway, it was nice of them to make the trip.

R13, From certain angles, it looked like Jill was wearing kitty ears.

No, the controversy is the she was the only woman in the Abbey not wearing a hat. Every other woman in there knew more about general etiquette than either she, her stylists and/or her State Department advisers seem to know.

The Trumpsters have a problem with Jill Biden not wearing the proper hat, or Michelle Obama wearing a sleeveless dress, or Barack Obama wearing a tan suit, but they have no problem with Melania Trump posing nude with her finger shoved up her twat.

Is that why the Bidens were seated in the fourteenth row, behind the President of Poland, no less?

I just read that Jill and Joe just came from their annual trip to EuroDisney where she bought Minnie Mouse ears that she forgot to take off before the funeral.

Trump is a real man. He would of forced himself into the first row. Knocking little Charlotte on her ass.

[quote] Is that why the Bidens were seated in the fourteenth row, behind the President of Poland, no less?

No, they were languishing beside the President of Poland (Oh, the humanity!) because crowned heads and Commonwealth heads take precedence.

Trump declared he would have had a better seat.

The bow is cute, but for a funeral, much less the funeral of a head of state, she should have worn a hat. I'm surprised she wasn't advised to do so.

Melania would have worn this............

The word you're looking for is "discreet." If you're going to lie, at least use the correct vocabulary.

God the British are cunts.

[quote]He would of forced himself into the first row.

Oh, dear.

Jill Biden does not have an ounce of fashion sense.

[quote] Trump declared he would have had a better seat.

R26, I am fairly certain that if there were any danger of Trump being present at her funeral, The Queen would have opted to be planted in a potter’s field instead.

I think she would have held off dying.

I don't think anyone in Britain cared about the hat. We were too busy watching the funeral. And it's not like they refused to let her in because she had the wrong dress code. Big fuss over nothing.

Trump would’ve been seated IN FRONT of the Queen’s casket then proceeded to grab the Princess of “Whales”(as he would’ve put it on Trump Twitter) by the pussy.

And Melania would’ve been dressed a lot klassier than Jill Biden because she’s klassy and Jill is a whore.

I think all media should be banned from ever using phrases like "according to Twitter" or "Twitter users say". Imagine the amazing world we could have. Lazy fucking "journalists".

[quote] Is that why the Bidens were seated in the fourteenth row, behind the President of Poland, no less?

It's how the world views Biden .

r21 We should respect women unless they're republican prostitution whores.

Thank Jesus that Dr. Biden isn't a Melania.

I think Jill dresses well, but she has a 70's California babe vibe about her, she's better at dressing casual than formal. Joe is one well dressed man, I love his electric blue suits...sharp.

The Bidens deserve to be dragged for all aspects of their involvement with the Queen's funeral.

Biden described the Queen as similar to his mother= his mother the IRA supporter

The Bidens travel in a big old armoured vehicle rather than the coach all other world leaders used= big old armoured vehicle gets trapped in traffic

Bidens arrive late to Westminster Abbey due to the above and stand like goons while those scheduled to be seated after them now take their seats before the Bidens

Jill dresses like she's heading to the Kentucky Derby.

The entire Biden family is an embarrassment.

This is such a fucking bad look. This country is such an embarrassment.

No shit. She always dresses horribly.

It was brilliant seeing the Catholic American President taking part in this heretical exhibition.

The fascinator was simply a distraction.

Oh look, all the deplorables figured out how to use a computer.

Is there anything more hilarious than "an effete corps of impudent snobs" i.e. R44/R45, getting their silk pantaloons in a twist over what somebody wore to a fucking funeral, then making very broad generalizations with their ignorant "observations." Miss Lidseybelle would be so proud of you.

And BTW: won't somebody please drop huge turds in R44 and R45's mouths?

I count at least three royals wearing no head covering at all.

42. Cosima Windsor: The daughter of the Earl and Countess of Ulster.

44. Senna Kowhai Lewis: Lady Davina's daughter.

51. Lyla Gilman: Rose and George's daughter.

There are other pictures that show women not wearing any head covering.

Of course, those were young girls.

Whatever you call the thing she's wearing, it looks as if she only put half of it on.

Just our little fuck you to the empire, honey.

Aren't there mirrors on Air Force One?

If you pull on the bow, does her wig come off? Or her whole head?

[quote] Just our little fuck you to the empire, honey.

And the seating plan was our little “fuck you” right back at you, r56

Now, Mr President, I just have to escort the King of Lesotho to his seat at the front and then I’ll be right back to show you which pillar you are sitting behind in row 470, subsection D.

She and Megs really slathered on the makeup especially EYES.

Jill has slim shapely pins for an old broad, and she doesn't shy away from high heels.

[QUOTE]they were languishing beside the President of Poland (Oh, the humanity!) because crowned heads and Commonwealth heads take precedence.

Poland is neither of these.

If Biden had any sense, he would have told the deadbeats of BRF and their numerous hangers on to go fuck themselves and sent a White House janitor in his place.

It rather looks like a hair band from the side

[quote] Poland is neither of these.

….which is why, r63, President Biden (being neither of these either) was sitting beside the Polish Pres.

Would the funeral have been different if Brexit hadn't happened?

[quote]Would the funeral have been different if Brexit hadn't happened?

No

[quote]Trump declared he would have had a better seat.

He is so laughably predictable.

I still think it's just a headband with a twisty bit on it.

Of all the things to get worked up over...

Jill Biden is an academic. She's not Jacqueline Kennedy or Nancy Reagan etc. She doesn't give a fuck about being a glamour girl. She has deeper substance to her than that. She's an educator.

She's a teacher but I wouldn't call her "an academic". Does she do any research whatsoever? Isn't she a community college "communications" professor?

Of course president Biden was allowed to bring his motorcade. He's the president of the United States & we're the biggest contributor to NATO. You really think tiny island England is going to say no to an American president? Insanity!

They know better.

Let's just skip over the fact that we are discussing some requirement that women cover their heads while men do not. Sounds like another piece of backwards religious bullshit. Oh, it is? Carry on.

Fuck off, R4, you obnoxious cunt. Sick of you stinking up every thread.

Ascot is a religious event?

[quote]Ascot is a religious event?

Perhaps for all the queens who adore Cecil Beaton's costumes for "My Fair Lady."

What? Turning up late to a funeral wearing a fucking headband as if any Brit was more interested in Biden and Jill than their Queen's funeral, R56? Get over yourself.

Does a ribbon count as a fascinator?

"Britain" is the island, R75. Not England. England is one of the three nations that reside in Britain and you're not nearly as important as you think you are..

[quote]Does a ribbon count as a fascinator?

Apparently so, given all the fascination with the first lady's black ribbon.

"Fuck off, [R4], you obnoxious cunt. Sick of you stinking up every thread."

Hey twat. if you can't take the fucking heat, get the fuck out of the damn kitchen. Also, notice the sign on the front door of this place, something about "pointless bitchery."

r84, your bitchery in r4 is hardly pointless. Enough with the dead fucking queen already.

I’m pretty sure the royal family had other things to worry about than what someone wore.

[quote]I’m pretty sure the royal family had other things to worry about than what someone wore.

All of DL's Meghan loons would certainly agree with you, R86.

Jill’s bronzer and makeup is a true horror from decades past.

R88 And Melania’s isn’t?

I show off wet kidneys... You like?

Aside from the thing being ugly I don't think it matters that she wore a fascinator instead of a hat.

"You really think tiny island England is going to say no to an American president? "

England isn't an island.

Dr. Jill didn't compare anyone to tacos, did she?

Jill though she looked hip and cool.

I don't think Jill has any sense of protocol.

Jersey is as Jersey does.

R95, But, I'm a Philly girl!

I can't wait to see what Jill will wear to Hunter's daughter's White House wedding in November.

What's the full story on Joe and Jill not taking the shuttle bus, causing them to be late.

^ What do you mean? US Presidents don't take buses. The US taxpayers spend millions a year keeping our presidents secure and alive, we are not about to stick one on a London shuttle bus 🙄

How many nose jobs has Dr. Biden had?

A tiny, tiny fraction of the blow jobs Melania Trump has given, R100.

That gal can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch so fast that it would leave even Nancy Reagan breathless in awe.

@r100, You tell us... High School graduation picture

r100 is a MAGAt troll, found another one

They do realize that there’s a dead body in the room, right? Why do they care who was wearing what? It’s not a fashion show.

r74, so in other words, Dr. Biden is not a part of the Academic elite?

America is anti-monarchy. They’re lucky anyone from the US turned up to see this white trash dog and pony show.

^ The Pope had more nads than the US by snubbing the Queens funeral. I bet he got a good laugh at the invite

^ Is Meghan Markle under your bed as well? 😂

Then thanks to Meghan Markle for telling it like it is, R108.

OH MY SIDES!!! At the same time, MEN are expected to REMOVE their head coverings when they enter a church. WTF is up with THAT?!?

Even the Catholic Church, which the Church of England has attempted to appropriate for nearly 500 years, has gotten rid of mantillas for women and no longer cares if a man keeps a hat on his head when attending church.

Sorry Brits, but the US IS anti-monarchy per our Constitution and Declaration of Independence... Neither of which Meghan Markle had any input

At least I wore stockings this time.

Jill wasn't big on bras either back in the day, but when you look like her it's not usually a problem 😛

If only I had worn a condom.

This was a missed opportunity, I would have worn a fabulous black lace mantilla.

If only your mother hadn’t fucked her brother R115.

Fuck the MAGATs and their bullshit.

That being said, Jill could use some sartorial help. She looks unpolished, or rough, but it is difficult to pinpoint exactly why. Every time a see her, I think of the scene in Goodfellas where Karen is describing the other mafia wives as "all polyester pant suits and bad skin".

Oh well, beats having to see Vairst Letty's mug by 1000%, so I really shouldn't complain.

Didn't those York sisters wear fascinators too? Dr Biden looked just fine to me.

Jill should have worn her diamond tiara.

It's not a fascinator. It's a hairband with an asymmetric bow attached. IMO, it looked slightly juvenile. It did seem like the only women not wearing hats were younger women.

[quote] I think Jill dresses well, but she has a 70's California babe vibe about her, she's better at dressing casual than formal.

Yes, Dr. Jill Biden was a babe, but I think that's part of the problem, now. She's clinging to that '70s look and she's got so much sun damage. I think the hair (Farrah-do) looks totally overdone, wig-like.

[quote] Isn't she a community college "communications" professor?

Why denigrate community college professors and teachers? More people should go to community colleges.

She's just trying to muscle her way into the next Catwoman audition.

[Quote]I have to say it looked ridiculous, regardless of the occasion.

R13 got it right.

and PS posters this is DL

She looks like a silly old fool. Someone should be fired. I looks like she tried to run a comb through her hair but that trashy cut is so not right for her age and station.

^ Give it a rest, no one was there to see Jill Biden, it was suppose to be the funeral of some old English Frau who died

R125 Is her stylist a Republican?

Jill Biden is neither British nor a member of the commonwealth. Her fashion does not need to comply to their standards.

The nationalism shown from both sides is astoundingly stupid.

To all the DeSantis cocksucker wannabes on this thread: your boy folded up like a cheap tent today and went scurrying away with his tail between his legs when he tried another stunt today, this time sending them to Biden's home state of Delaware.

Can you say: EPIC FAIL, Il Douche.

[quote]Jill dresses like she's heading to the Kentucky Derby.

r43, then it was a fitting tribute, since the Queen loved horses, and Kentucky, and attended the Kentucky Derby five times.

[quote] Jill Biden is neither British nor a member of the commonwealth. Her fashion does not need to comply to their standards.

She doesn't need to comply, but arguably it would have been respectful to try to blend in with what the other women were doing.

Wrong hat when you compare FLOTUS' appearance with the other attendees. Fascinators are for weddings?

[quote]then it was a fitting tribute, since the Queen loved horses, and Kentucky, and attended the Kentucky Derby five times.

And the current Queen has topped that by RUNNING in the Kentucky Derby five times.

Jill was a babe in her youth and still looks great you twats.

WOW! This thread has really brought out the humorless Maiden Aunt Brigade who seem to think DL is the gay equivalent of The Ladies Home Journal

There is a problem when even Markle has to give the First Lady lessons in etiquette

Asian social media which is huge is going off on the BRF and not in a good way. Busing in their King and Queens etc has really pissed them off. So is Danish social media and Black twitter. Tik tok now has an unprecedented amount of tik toks with an anti BRF theme. And these are all because of the behavior of the BRF this week. If you skip the biased uk tabloids and Murdoch sites its quite eye opening how much damage was done this week

R137 And will be forgotten next week. Buses, fascinators, we're talking the definition of trivial. Twitter loves trivial things.

Jill needs to figure out a way to manage her shaggy do for formal occasions, but she's an infinite improvement on I don't care do U? Melania.

Haha, Everyone is deflecting to Jill Biden when the low class BRF has offended half the world with their crappy funeral...

Sad Last Days Era of King Chuckles the Clown🤡

Wasn't crappy. Way over the top with excellent music. Great ceremony. Diana's funeral was an excellent ceremony too.

Damn! If only she wore a tan fascinator.

^ If your guests are offended, it was crappy

She (Jill Biden) seemed like she really didn't know any better. She doesn't seem like a mean-spirited person. I don't think she's completely sartorially-challenged. But, considering she's wealthy and somewhat slim, she could look so much better, and that includes her hair and makeup.

It ain't that kinda party, sir.

Adding my voice to the critics of the hair and bow (let’s face it, it may be a fascinator but looks like a bow). Putting protocol aside, she looks messy for such a solemn occasion. She’s way too old for that haircut and color. Even she looked just like Farrah Fawcett in her heyday, which she doesn’t and never has, that cut went out of style in the eighties. And no one over the age of 10 should wear anything that looks like a bow.

For all you claiming only younger females were without some sort of hat see the photo at R26 there is an older woman who has decided to stop dying her hair black and is about half way to gray three rows in front of Biden with no hat. With that half gray and half black she should have worn a hat.

R146, I think you're talking about the lady who is 3 rows in front of Biden; she's wearing glasses. It kind of does look like she stopped dyeing her hair. On the other hand, a lot of people in my family, including me, have gone gray prematurely. My grandma's hair was mostly white/gray on top (crown), but she had lots of dark hair further down near her ears and neck.

That lady in the photo has some dark hair near her temples. Also, the light was coming from above (unflattering!).

[quote]With that half gray and half black she should have worn a hat.

Cruella De Vil was invited to the funeral?

[Quote]Hey twat. if you can't take the fucking heat, get the fuck out of the damn kitchen. Also, notice the sign on the front door of this place, something about "pointless bitchery."

and what does it say about rage and venting R129?

DeSantis has a squeaky girl voice, it is nasty to listen to

and he doesn't have Obama's charisma

Jill made herself look bad and embarrassed herself. . QUICK change the subject to Desantis or Trump !

^ The BRF made themselves look bad by treating heads of state like common British peasants, quick change the subject to what Jill Biden wore on her head

You have got to be kidding 😂

We're always happy to change the subject to how evil Meghan Markle is!

Is that surprising R154? Isn't Meghan related to the BRF through marriage? And she was at the same event as Dr. Jill

@r154, I hear Meghan and Jill were overheard plotting to disrupt the funeral by each wearing something that a few people would talk about. I guess their little plan worked 😂

FLOTUS wore the wrong hat, next time she will do better

^ Are you planning to off Charles so soon?

The world totally understands, but NO ONE is coming to his funeral

It looks bad. A different fascinator might have been Ok, but that looks like a headband a young girl might wear. She would she been better off with a bare head. They should have been prepared for this, but it’s not that big of a deal.

Did the BRF at least offer the Emperor of Japan a bag of salted peanuts to go with his bus ride? 😂

[quote]Cruella De Vil was invited to the funeral?

What else to do with all those corgis now that QE II is no longer with us?

[quote] A different fascinator might have been Ok

I don't think you wear a fascinator at a funeral. Black hats, only. I noticed that George was wearing a dark blue suit. Other than that, everyone was wearing black.

Yeah, I saw that earlier in the thread, R162. My point is that I don’t think the issue is the hat vs. fascinator rule. It’s just that it looks stupid. She probably still would have gotten criticism for a subdued fascinator, but it would be easier to dismiss as petty and old-fashioned.

Fascinators are intended to be worn for festive occasions?

^ No, there are some people on this thread who makes up fake rules about nothing just to run their mouths about something

Meghan Markle killed it with her outfit. Showed them all up

Jill is no Melania...thank God.

Fergie dressed appropriately

^ The only thing Fergie ever did that was "appropriate" was to dress correctly for the Queen and she wasn't even here to see it 😂

Fergie, if only you had thought about being appropriate when she was alive

^ She got a good price for him, she should have gone into the used car business

The fascinator Dr. Jill wore was fine, not great but okay. It could have been a proper hat and that would have been better but it was fine. At least she didn't do a Wicked Witch of the West cosplay like that dreadful Markle woman.

Someone fetch me my smelling salts, this is WORSE that the tan suit!

British women and their silly hats look like carnival characters. Jill didn't wear one because she couldn't find the "Princess Bea" in black 😂

[quote]Jill Biden is an academic.

LOL Not unless you mean academic-lite. Like her laughable doctoral dissertation.

^ We'd all like to read yours, I love a good laugh, so your picture will do 😳

At least her hemline was the proper length.

I can't find the photo but there is one where the Obamas and the Bidens are posing and Jill has a short short skirt on.

You can see Michelle looking down at it out of the corner of her eye with a disgusted look.

^ Of course she did, dear. If you say it happened then it must be true 🙄

I'm surprised, I think it's actually a really pretty outfit and the head piece is actually quite understated and classy. And overall she looks good, actually quite cute. It's unconventional, yeah, but who gives a shit? She looks good.

^ Well, you know, the Brits give a shit about the most unimportant stuff. It's just who they are

[quote]At least she didn't do a Wicked Witch of the West cosplay like that dreadful Markle woman.

Hi, Klan Granny!

[quote] You can see Michelle looking down at it out of the corner of her eye with a disgusted look.

Michelle did a lot of that. Loads of hostility in that lady.

^ Loved Michelle's "take no prisoners" side eye 😂

The White House protocol team are to blame. Very few people would know how to dress for such a formal occasion . They do.

The Brits have been gunning for American First Ladies every since Jackie made the Queen look like a Chav on prom night

Stealth Irish rebellion on behalf of her mick husband, I'd say!

Only Hunter, but his huge cock, redeems him.

Hung like a Biden.

I'm surprised so many have forgotten that when Biden won, the UK's always reliable rightwing media machine published multiple articles about how things were about to get sketchy in the US because an Irishman was at the helm.

I'm also surprised so many people here don't seem to know that part of the reason for the visit was so Biden could meet with the new PM, then cancelled it because it turns out Liz Truss's right-hand man Mark Fullbrook was involved in trying to overthrow a democratic election in Puerto Rico. Truss had to travel to the US to meet Biden here instead, leaving Fullbrook behind.

Gosh, wonder if either of those things are behind the UK media attacks on Biden? Nah.

It's odd that the First Lady could do no better than a position at a community college. I'm not knocking CCs as I went to one myself for the first two years of my undergraduate degree. You would think her marriage to a high-ranking senator would have afforded her a position at a four-year school, to say the least. Who knows, maybe she chose to teach at that level as it is less demanding and, thus, leaves more time for her other responsibilities.

^ Yes, how about that. Often people choose jobs because they work well with other aspects of their private life. I guess Jill might have some other stuff going on that she needs to attend to

Her outfit was nice enough, but a good hat would’ve really finished it off.

To call it a giant faux-pas or a controversy is, of course, patently ridiculous.

Maybe just maybe Jill doesn't like the silly little clown hats British women hold so near and dear. The world has been laughing at British fashion behind their backs for years. Now that the Queen is gone they're going to laugh in your clown faces

They had to talk George out of wearing a Carmen Miranda tutti-frutti chapeau.

Macron's leathery old wife wore a fascinator too and looked trashier. How Macron can be so arrogant when he's married to his old granny school teacher is beyond me.

^ Because she lets him go out and play with the boys all he wants and she never yells at him

Just what that silly entitled cunt deserves

I certainly don't criticize her for it, but having been raised Episcopalian before I became an atheist I was surprised she didn't wear a hat. But then I figured maybe things had changed since I was a part of the church, when females were required to wear hats or "church veils" inside the sanctuary. Their heads had to be covered. But really, it's just another silly, useless religious rule that means nothing.

R129 Change is in the air

Washington, DC, approves creation of new agency to provide services for migrants arriving from other states

[quote] It's odd that the First Lady could do no better than a position at a community college.

It's an easier gig. It's what she wanted.

Dr Jill looked just fine. She was sitting at the back anyway.

Jill Biden should chat with Camilla for some tips. Camilla has actually been looking good lately. She has the same beachy hair, but it’s styled in a less messy way and her makeup looked very professionally done. Actually all the royal ladies, including Kate, looked to have had a professional makeup job for the funeral. Fergie’s black eyeliner was a tad overdone but otherwise she looked very good.

I figured he was sitting in the back cause it was a safer location. Like they'd have to shoot or knife their way through all those lords and ladies before they got to him.

Fergie's face looked like Simon Cowell's face.

I am starting not to like DR Jill so much. I want Michelle back. She has a Juris Doctor so should have been Dr. too!

Well there was a reason why so many females invited to the Queen's funeral wore such odd headgear; London shops simply were sold out of black hats.

There wasn't much notice after invitations arrived, and many women/girls assumed they could pick up something once they arrived in London. As some might imagine demand for black hats isn't exactly strong so shops didn't have huge supplies for a start.

Many women/girls also came from places where wearing hats in church (or otherwise) is rarely ever done nowadays. This much less one suitable for mourning or a funeral.

Royal women, especially the older ones likely had something in their closets or could have borrowed from elsewhere.

Article in DM sums things up, see below.

Princess of Wales and Duchess of Sussex had no such problems securing proper hats for funeral service.

😂 Dr. Jill took one look at British Royal "fashion", laughed and decided to wear what she wanted

The only "faux pas" here is Brits thinking they have a clue about what a woman should wear 😂🤣

Clown fashion from a clown country

R212, And what about the ostentatious hats women here wear to the Kentucky Derby each May?

Even hayseed Rosalynn Carter would have known not to wear that contraption to the Queen's funeral.

But when "hayseed" Rosalynn Carter dies, people will actually mourn her passing, R214, unlike when you (finally) kick the bucket.

@r213, The difference is American women don't turn around and wear a black version to a funeral. British fashion ranks at the bottom of the Western world, yet they act all snobby when someone doesn't do it "their way"... The nerve

Oh, and Bea was NOT at any races when she wore those carnival hats at r211

Kate, in particular, has been stockpiling black hats and outfits for at least the last five years. Camilla and Sophie had obviously done they same. They knew the day would come and they would need several days worth of mourning clothes for a very public event. The York sisters actually looked really good I thought.

[quote]Jill dresses like she's heading to the Kentucky Derby.
