To think this photo from yesterday’s Royal occasion...

...is like something from an 80s daytime TV drama. Look at Harry! Wills struggling to hide his emotions. Kate wound-up tight, bound by duty and protocol. Everyone looking in the direction of events but, HELLO! Someone’s found the camera! Meghan with her sweet suggestion of a smile, saying ‘thank God I’m getting the hell out of this circus’!

I can imagine the photographer was very pleased when they saw what they’d captured.

it’s a church service FGS not A fashion show

so she chose a very smart outfit suitable for the occasion. So did Kate. And Sophie Wessex. And everybody. And managed to look fantastic . What's your point?

FinalRoyalOuting: What I need is a fecking job shinyredbus but funnily enough my line of work isn’t taking anyone on as things have been ever so slightly affected by recent events. And yes I’m totally bored, it’s pissing down with rain and am glued to Mumsnet.

Feeling for you, Final. I’m stuck indoors for the nth day running, not that I could run even if I was being chased by Boris Johnson with a syringe of COVID-19 virus, my only exercise is coughing and i am sick of hot drinks. So, good old Mumsnet.

Hope you get the job you want soon.

I can’t believe the grinning of Meghan after the drama the pair of them have caused. At least Harry has the decency to look annoyed. She looks so pleased with herself.

MarshaBradyo · 10/03/2020 12:18

Is it because she’s the only one looking at the camera - obsessed with being in spotlight yada

The press know what to print for sure to get people going

I can’t believe the grinning of Meghan

Has the definition of "grinning" changed recently?

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 10/03/2020 12:21

Harry looks ready to kill! Grin

JustInCaseCakeHappens · 10/03/2020 12:22

What do you want Meghan to do? Flip the finger? Hmm

She has always behaved impeccably, and she still is. Good for her to escape this ridiculous fish tank.

Hearhoovesthinkzebras · 10/03/2020 12:23

What I thought was telling was how they left at the end. They a walked down the line of guests at the end saying goodbye but Harry and Meghan seemed to take their time and only left once William and Catherine had driven away. Only then did Harry and Meghan leave the abbey. Was that deliberate to avoid an awkward situation outside?

PotholePalace · 10/03/2020 12:23

Harry looksblike I do when my contact lenses are a bit uncomfortable, maybe an eyelash in the way. The rest look a bit bored.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 10/03/2020 12:24

grinning like a Cheshire cake.

Grin

A Cheshire what?

londonrach · 10/03/2020 12:25

They look bored.

Iwalkinmyclothing · 10/03/2020 12:27

Honestly, I thought "that's a lovely green, I wish I could carry that off", and that was about it.

(Might also have thought, H is definitely more shaggable than W these days)

It's clear there is tension between the brothers. And I think there is a lot of sadness about that because they appeared to be so close in the past. Kate doesn't really show emotion so I don;t think you can read anything into her expression. Same as Meghan - she's an actress who is trained to put on a performance so again, you can't really draw any conclusions from a photo when she knew she was on duty and being filmed.

NotNowPlzz · 10/03/2020 12:30

For gods sake get a life. If she was scowling you'd criticise her. She can do no right in some people's eyes.

ElderAve · 10/03/2020 12:31

So has the rumour about H upsetting everyone by taking the moral high ground over W's shenanigans been quashed?

MaddieElla · 10/03/2020 12:32

I watched it on TV, that was not just a snapshot. Harry's face was like thunder all the way out, while Meghan had a beaming smile. It was comical.

megletthesecond · 10/03/2020 12:32

It's a dull church event. I look bored when I go to church.
I probably look bored when I go to the gym, or running and I enjoy them.

ilovesooty · 10/03/2020 12:35

Another distraction from Andrew I suppose.

JustInCaseCakeHappens · 10/03/2020 12:36

"rumour" but from people in the known was that a divorce was on the way following that scene in the Berry Royal Christmas.

Seems that Kate and Will have got over it Grin

You can say anything you want based on a photo, or a few seconds snapshot. It won't make it true though.

Anyone else cringe at posts like this or just me?!

I saw some of it as well. That photo is a pretty accurate snapshot. Not just the procession out either, a lot of the way through.

LadyMadderRose · 10/03/2020 12:38

lmcneil003 are you Jilly Cooper? :o

JustInCaseCakeHappens · 10/03/2020 12:39

formerbabe
just you.

TheGlitterFairy · 10/03/2020 12:42

Agree OP - grinning all over the place while H had a face of thunder.
Though I do think the whole thing is a shame in terms of the good they could do from a charitable perspective if they were here and carried on.
He’ll be back in a year though IMO which is why Queenie has left the door open for him.
