Does anyone else think Harry looks uncomfortable and wary nearly all the time these days whilst Meghan looks generally relaxed and at ease? Harry just looks miserable. Fiddling with his ring, or tugging at his clothes etc.

dinosaurkisses · 29/08/2018 20:17

It looks like someone try to sex-up one of DoC’s coat dresses- it’s just a bit too short so it doesn’t look quite right.

MrsGrindah · 29/08/2018 20:19

Yes I think Harry has lost some of his relaxed demeanour but he’s probably anxious about all the press attention on his wife. I wonder whether he said to her tonight “ Are you sure about that dress love? One’s Granny will have a fit!”

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 29/08/2018 20:26

Meghan’s hair and make up look beautiful, she does suit the dress but I think her legs could do with a bit of Sally Hanson or similar, her legs look a bit weathered for want of a better phrase. Hair and make up polished to perfection but needs do do the same for the legs.

Clionba · 29/08/2018 20:30

Her hair looks lovely, that's a better style for her. She is so beautiful, but I have to agree about the dress. She makes some interesting choices, not all of them work.

Jackietheduck · 29/08/2018 20:48

She is incredibly beautiful.

She makes interesting choices as a PP said. She leans towards glamour and style. And HURRAY for that. I find the knee length, round neck dresses relied on by other members of the firm unstylish and staid bordering on frumpy.

beanaseireann · 29/08/2018 20:57

Wow !
I think Meghan looks amazing.
Imagine having long skinny legs like that and she is very pretty.

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 29/08/2018 21:15

She looks smoking hot but I'm a bit Shock at the dress. The side view on one of those pics makes it look quite booby, and that combined with a short length just seems a bit risqué for the RF tbh (as good as she looks)

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/08/2018 21:19

I think the dress is fine for the occasion. I don't think she'd wear it around the Queen! And my mistake - it cost £327, not £500. So perhaps she's heeding the comments about her outfits being too expensive.

Yeah but Her Madge will see the photos won’t she?! I just think it looks like she’s forgotten to put her trousers on

user1457017537 · 29/08/2018 21:34

I’m rather partial to the velvet evening suit lol

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/08/2018 21:47

The (coat)dress is ok.
A pair of shiny nude wolford tights.woild have made the look.more pulled together.
Harry's outfit is great. His wardrobe has definitely improved since marriage

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 29/08/2018 21:53

I do wish Harry would shave off that awful beard and get a decent haircut.
Damian Lewis is another posh redhead he could take inspiration from

I'm actually partial to the scruffy bearded look. Not a fan of the suburban dad thing that William's got going on.

@MrsGrindah Maybe the Queen wouldn't care too much about Meghan's hemlines - she wasn't afraid of showing off her own figure when she was younger!

user1457017537 · 29/08/2018 23:22

I have now confessed to wearing espadrilles and finding the men’s velvet evening suits rather fetching, I think I’m beyond hope lol

VanillaMapleSyrup · 29/08/2018 23:42

Ah, those velvet suits will never date!

Did we see much of Prince Harry in action before his wedding, though? Previously he's always been the +2 for Wills & Kate. He's never had this spotlight on himself plus the missus before.

How will MM rock the maternity look?

Notmyrealname85 · 29/08/2018 23:46

Unpopular opinion but I didn’t love the outfit, it sort of looked like she’s sexily wearing one of Harry’s suit jackets - it’s too low cut to also be short on the legs, and the heels very high. It’s a bit GQ (please don’t flame me!)

On another note, why is so much of what she wears from Canada? Isn’t this another Canadian label? Are they doing some campaign for her to wear commonwealth designers? Might be clever

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/08/2018 02:05

why is so much of what she wears from Canada

I think it's simply because she lived there for 8 years, so Meghan is likely to have a reasonable wardrobe bought there. She may be a duchess; but she's not going to suddenly to bin her entire wardrobe just because she has moved to the UK.

It's hard to believe it's not even a year since she came into the public eye!.

SeaRabbit · 30/08/2018 06:27

I think she looks great, and that dress is really chic. I don't think her legs look scrawny though they are very thin, but then mine were at her age - no longer, sadly...

WipsGlitter · 30/08/2018 07:12

I really don't likes that dress. It's very 80s.

mathanxiety · 30/08/2018 07:38

Just placemarking and running...

lightonthewater · 30/08/2018 08:00

I thought the dress looked very 80's too. I didn't like it, and agree with another poster who said she needed tights.

FamilyOhNo · 30/08/2018 08:07

Naga Munchetty.... On TV now

Where is her blouse from ???

She's on bbc breakfast now.

It's lovely.
