Royal Style and Gossip: The Sussexes Down Under; Meghan is glowing

[CurlyWurlyTwirly]

Harry & Meghan have arrived in Sydney.
The purple folders coordinating with her coat will not slow down speculation...

Ah I only read a quote that sort of implied otherwise.

The ANZAC photo - why do women stand duck-toed?

i experimented yesterday with walking down the street, holding on to DH the way Meghan clings on to Harry (i.e. with both hands). It felt very unnatural and as though I was escorting him to our destination!

Definitely prefer Kate's wardrobe.

I wish that there was a Royal who was truly pear shaped (i.e. small bosom and large hips and bottom ) as I would love to see some style tips! I would count the Yorks as hourglass due to the bosom.

I saw that article about the female bodyguard and it REALLY bugged me that she wears stiletto heels - you can't run in stilettos as quickly as you can run in flats. I don't know why she would put her image before the ability to do the job to the best of her ability!

I guess people do go by their middle names sometimes for whatever reason.

I do because my middle name is what my parents chose to call me. Same with my husband and my son.

She is obviously a very tactile person. DH is tactile and tries to hold my hand all the time. I’m not a tactile person. He thinks it is natural. It makes me feel like I’m a child likely to run off. We are all different.

I do because my middle name is what my parents chose to call me. Same with my husband and my son.

Yes, so many potential reasons as detailed above. Can’t say I’ve given it much thought with regards to the DoS 🤷🏼‍♀️

I did a google and found one yearbook photo where she's Rachel and a later one where she's Meghan. So it isn't an acting thing. Also, Doria calls her "Meg" which indicates that she started calling herself that a long time ago.

I thought exactly the same about the body guard in heels. It's just odd.

I wouldn't want a bodyguard of mine to be in high heels!

He is starting to look more like Charles but I think he's more handsome - Charles was never a looker, even in his youth. If anything he also resembles the DoE, who definitely WAS a looker!

Okay even I'm starting to get bored of the black and navy now. I say that dressed head to toe in blue jeans and a navy jumper myself but for work I have a range of bright coloured shirts and jackets. Hoping for some lighter outfits soon.

I think Harry resembles Philip. Philip was very handsome back in the day!

Clionba me too I used to think he looked like Charles Spencer when younger but he is the double of a young DofE now.

Yes, Harry has the distinctive Battenberg nose. Just like Charles, it has that bump in the middle.

This photo should be compulsory viewing for anyone who says Harry is Hewitt's!

Queen that and the fact that Diana and James Hewitt didn't meet until after Harry was born!

Well yes, that goes without saying!

Quite a lot of people seem to think that small fact doesn't matter!

Meghan is in Gillian Anderson for the opening of the Invictus Games. Yes, THAT Gillian Anderson.

Harry's speech is here. Made me a bit teary, it's a lovely speech. I wonder if he wrote it himself or whether he has help with that sort of thing.

It was a lovely speech. No notes, natural, it sounded from the heart. He has a great smile!

Um I think he was using an autocue!

Of course they do not write their own speeches. I imagine if they are passionate about a cause they deliver it better though.

The RF don’t actually do anything except support causes. Some might argue that if their living expenses were spent in the actual causes, more good might be achieved.

I doubt he wrote the whole speech but he probably had a lot of input into it. Invictus is his passion, there's no way he'd leave the writing entirely up to someone else.

Wow! What a great speech.
