Maxima's pink outfit is beautiful

Hope you don't mind me joining in? So happy to have found this thread, I have thoroughly enjoyed the coverage of H+M 's tour.

I do enjoy the royal family and they are my guilty pleasure haha! I've met both Prince Charles and Princess Ann and I'm not afraid to say I was completely star struck haha 😂

Meghan in black and white stripes today. Can't say I'm keen on the dress or the severe ponytail.

New pics! Not sure if i like it yet...

Not keen on the dress either like something that wouldn't sell in M and S

I don’t think it does much for her, looking through the other pics. She always looks beautiful of course but this looks a bit fussy/ maybe a bit creased in places?

It is really unflattering in the bust area

Was Mette Marit the bride who cried all through her wedding service?

I'm sure Princess Michael will pull out every stop there is, in her role as MotB!

I thought the Duke of Kent looked very frail in the photos with Max & the Duke & Duchess of Wessex.

I don’t love her make up here either - they’ve gone very highlighter heavy of late.

Oh! Don't like the stripes dress, she must have got it from ASOS!

I think the striped dress would have looked great when she tried it on before the trip started but with pregnancy her body is changing unpredictably. This is the first time she’s ever been on duty for such an extended period, it must be exhausting (yes, I acknowledge other women have it hard when pregnant & don’t have the support she receives).

I love stripes normally but again I think the neck is too high for her larger bust and so is unflattering. It's a pity because as pp said, this would probably have looked fine a few weeks ago.

Welcome CoachBombay I have a bit of a soft spot for Charles

I think Meg's latest dress looks a little too busy - if it was more fitted at the top it might work better. But she looks pretty and happy so pulls it off IMO

I feel bad for being so negative about the look but it’s not my fave! Agree with pp that it would have looked fab previously.
I do quite like the simple ponytail

Oh boy! The highlighter doesn’t look great does it. Poor Megs, she’s had a fair few fashion fails on this trip (IMO). Can’t say I’m a fan of this dress either tbh. What happened to all those beautiful and stylish trousers she was wearing, that must have been pre-marriage.

It's a no from me on the striped number... it's a bit... zebra like 🤔

Oh the new look is a bit too boxy for my liking. It's making her waist and shoulders appear to be he same width.

I do like the ponytail though nice to see more of her face.

I’m sorry, that dress wouldn’t suit anyone. What on Earth is she thinking? It’s a horror show!

I think she's short- waisted, which is why some of the belted dresses don't look quite right on her. When she goes for dresses that aren't waisted then they suit her much more. But I guess it must be tricky if your body is changing every day.

Again it doesn't fit her. Maybe it is pregnancy related but I didn't think her wedding dress even fit her. I think she is short wasted but that's why you need a good tailor.
The makeup is a bit harsh with the severe ponytail. Kate wears harsh blush as well that I'm not a big fan of.

Not loving Meghan's dress. I think she looks quite sleek with the ponytail though! Does anyone know if she will have someone to do her makeup on the tour or if she does it herself? I know Kate did her own makeup for her wedding which makes me think she usually does it herself - agree it's usually pretty heavy.

That striped dress has made my eyes go funny. A friend does work with PC &
annoyingly won’t pass on any gossip but does say “he’s a very nice man”

The pic that came up under this Hello mag piece re Max and Co made me chuckle

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty 🤣 that’s annoying re: your friend 🤣 but very professional indeed, which I guess is what you need to be when you work for the RF.

Oh I love that dr as but agree - her boobs are growing which means the high necks are just not working on her. I am blessed with norkage so recognise the phenomenon.
