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...

@MonteCarla Could be from carrying her kids around. Carting my DC around has toned my arms up in a way that weights never could!

Blimey she must have a will of iron to look like that after a 3rd baby.

No sure it's her best look, tbh. Lovely colour but very fussy and very shiny. She usually gets it very right in her defence though.

Reminds me of a naice hotel pair of curtains circa 1982, complete with swags and tails.

Maxima looks stunning. Shame about Kate's dress.

God Id love to have Kate’s figure. Do you think survives on lettuce leaves and air?! That’s what I’d have to do and I still probably wouldn’t look like that.

Like the bodice of Kate’s dress but think it would have been better with a simple slinky drop rather than the swag curtain bottom.

I’m actually a fan of the lovers knot and thinks it suits her but agree would like to see her in some other tiaras to mix it up a bit.

I think Kate suits simple lines she has a nice figure. This dress is just to fussy

As this is style and beauty can anybody tell me how in the heck she manages to get her hair so sleek? My hair always looks windswept, and unkempt like a haggard witch that’s been dragged through a hedge and doesn’t own a brush

Product advice desperately welcomed

Pawnee she uses very fine hairnets for the updos. I share your pain though, I leave the house looking fine and by the time I've done the school run I look like I haven't brushed my hair! Plus it's naturally wavy so this damp time of year does me no favours....

@frugalkitty didn’t know that about the hair nets very interesting we used to do the same for dance shows when i was younger. Don’t suppose you know how she stays so slim?!

mmmgoats I wish I did!!!! I have three kids, the youngest is ten and I'm still hoping that the baby weight will drop off any day now

In other news.....Meg is in pink!!! Ruffles and Pom poms and wedges.......colour looks lovely, I'd post a link but I don't know how, sorry

Kate looks beautiful in floaty evening wear - tonight's dress didn't do her any favours.

I'm loving Harry in the tropical shirt. And Meghan's pink dress is beautiful IMO, but then I can't resist pom poms or espadrilles The colour looks great on her

I'm not crazy about the colour of Kate's hair in the picture- it looks like she's had a lot of red highlights.
Great figure but I don't like the dress- too fussy

Here is Meghan in pink.

I can see a lot of the DofE in that last pic of Harry! Love Meghan's clutch too. I like to think that's mine and DP's holiday aesthetic, albeit with a few more stone in my case

Meghan and Harry. Oh dear.
They look like they're going to a neighborhood swingers party in the 1970s. Neither lookscomfortable at all.

I like the colour on Meghan but not a fan of the style or pattern love the clutch though.

I'm not a fan of the tropical shirt either don't think it suits Harry and it seems a bit try hard! Not a great night/day for the younger royals I think!

Don't like Kate's dress at all and I think she looks too thin and a bit drawn.

Agree that Kate's dress is very 80s bridesmaid! Although I love the colour and I actually don't mind it apart from the skirt. Meghan's latest is a bit of a monstrosity Glad she's gone for some colour but not really been a fan of her tour outfits so far

I don’t like Kate’s dress or Megan’s dress either. How can Megan be three or even four months pregnant? I wondered about her height earlier as thought perhaps if she was 5 ft 4 or less, it might show more but she is not short. And she must have exercised a lot for many years. I am flummoxed. I hope she is enjoying her pregnancy and eating everything she fancies.

This is exactly what they look like!!

Maxima looks stunning. I don't think our Royals look half as classy as some of the foreign Royals. Charles looked bright red , bored and tired. Camilla looked fed up. The Queen looked very tired too. Sophie looked lovely!

Is there a pic of Sophie's dress? I haven't seen hers yet

I don’t know if this has been mentioned, I looked back a couple of pages and didn’t see it, but I absolutely LOVE Meghan’s Fijian Blue evening gown with cape and huge diamond chandelier earrings.At last she wears a fabulous colour! You can see her cute baby bump when she stands sideways too. I am so delighted to finally see an adventurous colour from her and I love that she is honouring her hosts. It’s a definite HIT out of the park as far as I am concerned.

I would love to see more colour for her, with her beautiful coloring she could really carry off some gorgeous shades.

Pink dress looks better from the side.

News here (Oz) says Meghan had to cut short market trip due to security concerns (close crowds and poor light).

I love the pink dress. Yes, if you see the video from the market her British female security officers looked quite panicked and were telling people to get back, I am guessing they wanted to leave as she would’ve been hemmed in and that could’ve been a security risk.

Kate’s dress reminds me of hunt balls c1988. She looks amazing but there are other dresses that have done more for her. Are State Dinners normally on Sundays? It seems a bit weird to me, making all the staff work on what I’d have assumed was a day off.
