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

Gorgeous shot of Eugenie & the bridesmaids. They all seem to love her.
This current crop of great grand daughters are right characters: Savannah Phillips; Mia Tindall and Princess Charlotte. They are going to be fun to watch when they are teens; hopefully Princess Anne x3!

Can't open that Max pic Queen. I cannot wait for her tour over here! Hope she brings her sapphires for the state dinner.

Just been reading about the Zika virus and the effects on unborn babies ( Microcephaly- reduced brain development and then associated issues.) Fiji & Tonga are supposed to be reduced risk, but they are still a risk. Honestly why doesn’t Meghan let Harry go by himself.

That is such a lovely photo of the bride and groom and their bridesmaids/page boys I love photos like natural and relaxed they obviously all have a great bound. Jack seems relaxed too which is lovely to see after his understandable nerves in the church hope we get a few more of these

Cornwall73 · 16/10/2018 21:22

Wow on the skirt, but of course she can carry it off! Mind you ‘Wax’ is not wearing a toned down suit is he? Is it the light or a very bright blue ensemble?

Love Leti, that woman has style and a hell of a body to show it off.

QueenOfTheAndals · 16/10/2018 21:33

Letizia looks amazing in that red dress. She's so stylish and dresses her daughters really well too. They're always in clothes that are completely age and event appropriate, but not in the least bit fussy or staid.

AhoyDelBoy · 16/10/2018 22:15

I love the way Eugenie is looking at Charlotte in that picture, so beautiful 😍

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 17/10/2018 05:00

Lovely photo of Meghan & Harry. Loads of coverage in the DM

My favourite bit was the hug from the little boy. He was so funny stroking Harry’s beard. I’m so looking forward to seeing Harry as a Dad. He is absolutely amazing with children, ( I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy about a Royal baby!)

Just from a fashion point of view; Meghan is wearing an Aussie brand of Jeans . ( good) a French shirt: which I find a bit meh in style. However the jacket is by her pal Serena Williams. For me; it is a) a not very nice jacket b) not really on promoting her friend’s clothes when on a royal tour. c) why on earth will she not wear British Designers?

Apart from the odd Stella McCartney & Burberry when engaged; and her evening wedding dress; she has really not made the effort. It is all Carolina Herrera & Givenchy.
To her credit, Kate has pretty much always worn British and very often high street. Back in the day; Diana wore British designers and wore foreign when overseas to honour the host nation.

Someone needs to have a word with Meghan. I am really cross with her promoting Serena Williams (horrible) jacket.

The little boy is adorable stroking Harry’s beard 🤣

serenmoon · 17/10/2018 06:16

I’m not keen on either the jacket or the shirt. I can see why she’d wear Australian or any other commonwealth designers but I agree she should also be wearing British to give the industry a boost. I wonder if it’s to do with her stylist friend Jessica Mulroney?

Quantumblue · 17/10/2018 06:21

Agree re the use of US designers. I would like to see her in British, Australian and New Zealand designers on this tour. It shouldn't be that hard and is an easy way to give some different businesses a lift.

I tried unsuccessfully to post a picture of the afternoon tea they have had with the Country Women's Association, including banana bread baked by Meghan. I love seeing all the stolid (and delicious) carbs lined up. She is a long way from Hollywood here!

Cornwall73 · 17/10/2018 06:43

Where can I see pics of the your tour that is not the DM? I try to avoid it as much as possible!

AhoyDelBoy · 17/10/2018 06:51

@Cornwall73 are you on instagram? That’s my go too place!

evilharpy · 17/10/2018 06:56

@Cornwall73 I look at "What Meghan Wore" on Facebook. They have a sister page for Kate too.

I actually like the Serena Williams jacket, and her whole outfit today. But I do agree she needs to wear more UK designers' stuff.

Wasn't a fan of the dark green dress yesterday, I thought it looked awkward.

Cornwall73 · 17/10/2018 07:07

Thanks. I’m not on Instagram so looking for websites mainly.

evilharpy · 17/10/2018 07:10

What Meghan Wore is also a website. LINK

QueenOfTheAndals · 17/10/2018 07:20

The jeans she's wearing have an interesting backstory, and good on her for giving the company a boost in terms of visibility.

Spudlet · 17/10/2018 07:21

What Kate Wore and What Megan Wpre are my two 'need a break from doomy news' rabbit holes. Blush

dairyfarmerswife · 17/10/2018 07:29

Delurking to say madaboutmeghan.blogspot.com/?m=1 is good for photos too.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 17/10/2018 07:36

@Queen

Meghan’s Banana bread in front. There is some token fruit; but Insee what you mean about the carbs!

I thought Meghan had a special advisor, for protocol issues, so I am surprised she is not more appropriately dressed to represent the UK. Also, I thought that the wardrobe of foreign tours were funded by the Foreign Office; ie taxpayers money, so why she is wearing American designers such as Brandon Maxwell is beyond me.

I wouldn’t say Jessica Mulrony is to blame. Meghan has strong fashion ideas herself. Jessica appears to be more of a moral support.

Itinerary for the Max and Wax visit next Monday & Tuesday

It looks like there will only be a couple of day outfits, and one of them is on a boat, so not sure if that will be a Max hat day!
However; there is a state banquet, so as well as Máxima, hopefully Kate & Camilla will be digging out Tiaras
