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...

That's a great speech. Should be "Meghan and me" though.

First of all, thank you for the welcome you have given Meghan and I over the last few days.

First of all, thank you for the welcome you have given Meghan and I over the last few days.

Yes, I noticed that too. I've heard William do the same thing.

I think the pointy flats would have looked better with her casual Invictus outfit earlier today, with the white jacket. Rather than the gorgeous heeled sling backs.

She either wears really high heels or very flat flats. Maybe a low heel would look nice occasionally?

I really liked the white jacket she had on earlier. She looks really striking in black, but I'm still hoping for some colour!

Yes, I noticed that too. I've heard William do the same thing.

It's not really acceptable is it?!

Meghan looks lovely and is getting so cheerfully involved in everything although she must be pretty tired. I know she has breaks but still...

I think this is the first time I have ever seen PH’s lovely genuine smile. He looks different!

Er... Meghan and I is correct English. Not Meghan and me....

Actually, in this instance it is Meghan and me.

Thank you for the welcome you have given me.
Thank you for the welcome you have given I.

However, it would be Meghan and I if it were something like, “Meghan and I have had a brilliant welcome.”

I have had a brilliant welcome.
Me have had a brilliant welcome.

Take out the other person in the sentence and you can work out which one it should be

It's definitely "Meghan and me".
You'd think Eton would teach them better.

Thanks for the explanation Montecarla; I had no idea

I’m with Meghan on the shoe thing either sky high or flat, really hate a mid heel, go hard or go home! Though she has worn a mid heel on the odd occasion.....

Those boots are nice! A bit more stylish.

Meghan and me is correct in the sentence,
“Thank you for the welcome you have given Meghan and me.”

Yes, Meghan and me is correct as explained above. I can't believe they'd get that wrong. It's such an easy rule to remember.

I agree, “ Meghan an I would like to thank your for your welcome” or “ thank you for the welcome you have given Meghan and me”. It’s a bit weird as it’s something I think someone would say when they are in a situation where they don’t feel ‘posh’ /eduacted enough which I don’t suppose is a situation that the royal family often are in, which makes me think the speach was written for him.

Fashion wise I like her outfit, but like everyone else am getting bored of the continual dull colours. People want to see her!

I see that Thomas Markle has still not learned his lesson and is spouting off to the press again...

I'm very excited about the new royal baby. It's lovely to see how Harry is so protective and they seem so in love.

I know a few people that are always known by their middle names reason are 1) tradition that first born son is always called X so he was given this as a first name and the parents choice as a middle name which they then always used.

Yes, that's what happened with DF. With DB and one of my cousins it's the other way round - parents' choice first, then the "first born" name as a middle name.

Had no idea Gillian Anderson had a clothing line!

Yes those boots are just passable for the outfit she has on but I’ve seen better on her.

I’d love a pair of boots like that 😍 should check out what Meghan wore and see if I need a mortgage for that exact pair!

So Last night's outfit was a rewear of the Stella McCartney we all admired back in April. Coat by (X files) Gillian Anderson. (Who imho has done a better job of clothes designing than the tennis world champ. So kudos to the Duchess for a rewear and choosing British. However stop with the Navy Blue already; Meg.

Meghan had to pull out of some Invictus events this morning to rest. I am not surprised. Despite the smiles, she was wearing a lot of makeup last night and had the thousand mile stare. I thought she looked exhausted.
She's skipping most of Fraser Island on Monday.

I'm sure she's going to pull out of Fiji. The woman is a trooper; but there's still 2 more weeks of this tour to go.

Even TLo are a bit underwhelmed by her style choices
