Disappointing to see Meghan morphing into Kate?

I've just seen the pictures of the Royal Family on the balcony for the Trooping of the Colour parade and it really seems like Meghan is being turned into a Kate clone, with the slightly odd old fashioned clothes and badly curled hair? I had hoped they palace would let her be herself.

I actually think Meghan looks nice, the colour really suits her and I think the fact it's off shoulder makes it look a little less frumpy but I'm really not liking Kate's dress and hat it just makes her look old and far too much like a MOTB.

werideatdawn · 09/06/2018 14:50

Her hair isn't badly curled at all, it's fine. The dress is actually quite refreshing, I don't remember seeing Kate in many off the shoulder dresses like that..
You sound like a typical Daily Mail sort finding any way possible to criticise her.

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 09/06/2018 14:50

Kate sold her soul so deserves a life of coat dresses?!? 😂😂😂

What the actual fuck?!

Where do people get this nonsense ?!

Like she was handed a huge pile of coat dresses upon marriage and someone said :

MWAHAHAHA YOU'RE OURS NOW AND THIS IS THE CURSE YOU SHALL BEAR

I always got the idea the coat dresses were her own idea and a crafty way of stopping the press from focusing on her clothes by hiding them and making it about her always smart often lovely, very occasionally hideous, coat

Off the shoulder is common. It matters not what your size is.
But in MM’s case, because she is now married to a royal prince, she should dress as befits her new position.

As a parallel, brides who wear off the shoulder wedding dresses never look as classy as brides who cover the shoulder area.

Browniebaker · 09/06/2018 14:54

Kates dress is awful what's with the weird shoulders?

RoseWhiteTips · 09/06/2018 14:55

Kate sold her soul!?!?! 🙄🙄

RoseWhiteTips · 09/06/2018 14:58

Kate is never matronly. 🤣 Get real. MOTB indeed! She always looks just right and when off duty she looks great too in her jeans and stripes.

ohfecknuts · 09/06/2018 14:59

This might sound weird but I feel bad for Kate recently, there's something behind her eyes. She seems sad. I guess she's in a similar boat to me with 3 young DCs, so perhaps it's just the strain of juggling the three of them.

Bridechilla · 09/06/2018 15:01

Oddcat I think Amal Clooney is a good ref (only at formal occasions) she can do classic with a modern twist that both of these outfits lack.

RoseWhiteTips · 09/06/2018 15:01

Did they forget to let Meghan know about the pale blue colour “rule”? Or was she hoping to stand out as and draw attention to herself again?
Wonder how she felt about her police in the back row of the balcony? Might have been a reality check.

*her PLACE

Mummyoflittledragon · 09/06/2018 15:01

Brownie
“Weird shoulders”. Grin just Laura Ashley / 80’s.

eloisesparkle · 09/06/2018 15:07

In the OP's photo at the start of the thread Meghan Markle doesn't look like Meghan Markle. She looks similar but I'm Shock that it's her.
Where is the beautiful fresh faced look of the wedding ?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 09/06/2018 15:09

Meghan is still finding her royal style feet. Dress was no doubt extremely formal by American standards. Perfect for any other formal event, but the bare shoulders were way too revealing for Trooping of the Colour. Not one member of theRF wears of the shoulder during the day. Her wedding dress was more covered up than this.

Kate used to wear short skirts when she was first married. She has great legs but has toned it down in recent years.
Meghan is still finding her royalstyle groove..

i was explIning why motb might be an insult @AuntieStella ie they are usually older i wasent offering any insight into anyones imdividual tastes or preferences.

Beatrice and Eugenie didn't wear it either. I presume they were also attention seeking too then?

ohfecknuts · 09/06/2018 15:11

Shoulders are revealing? Remind me again when shoulders were something intimate? Grin

roundaboutthetown · 09/06/2018 15:12

Yawn. They both look absolutely fine. What a load of bollocks their clothes make them look 10 years older - you can tell from their youthful skin and hair and neat figures that they are both young women. What they are wearing is no more unnatural than some of the other stuff that celebrity figures wear because they feel it is expected far more than because they genuinely love it or feel comfortable in it themselves. In fact, many celebrities seem to spend most of their time looking bloody silly because they get criticised for being seen in anything practical or comfortable...

MrsDilber · 09/06/2018 15:13

She looks just right for the occasion.

MrsJayy · 09/06/2018 15:15

Duchess wears clothes on balcony shocker Grin when royal are on duty they can't rock up in their jeans can they? They have dressers what would you like her to wear. The Duchesses probably need to be a bit matchy so the daily fail don't make up some sort of feud,

x2boys · 09/06/2018 15:16

personally i like Meghans outfit i think its a lot younger than Kates but opinions are subjective .

JellyBears · 09/06/2018 15:16

Two very beautiful women..

keyboardkate · 09/06/2018 15:19

They both look lovely, it is a formal occasion. They can wear their ripped jeans and breton tops whatever when out of the limelight.

And look at the figure on Kate a few weeks after giving birth. I just cannot believe how trim she looks.

Ah well, gossip and comment are what keep them there in the limelight!

AlexaAmbidextra · 09/06/2018 15:19

Well I think they both look beautiful but then I’m in the MOB age group so obviously beneath contempt according to some on here.🙄

MrsJayy · 09/06/2018 15:20

I hate those ginormous hats though
