Royal style and gossip: monochrome Megs, colourful Kate, the whacky hats of Max

Link to the previous thread, which was fast filling up!

I think she has family on Doris's side who she's allegedly cut ties with and didn't invite to the wedding, even though they helped her in the past.

Or it could all be media hearsay!

I’m talking about her first husband, the best friend who objected to the way Meghan treated husband no.1. Cory Vitello who she was living with when she met Prince Harry.
The members of her mum’s family who weren’t invited to her wedding.

I agree with the nc with her father’s family.
However, is there a grain of truth in what they say?

She split up with her ex husband long before she met Harry though, didn't she? He's remarried recently too.

She was living with a chef in Toronto for 2 years after her husband
When she initially moved to Toronto it was the husband who did all the back forth travelling

Ah I found this article but the friend sounds a bit too invested, and telling all to the Sun is just tacky.

Meanwhile this American gossip rag knows stuff I doubt even Camilla knows! Tina Turner clearly has the scoop on it all...

Meghan, Cory Vitellio, the Toronto years. DM link

There are 2 sides to every story, corny I know but how many times do you read threads on hear or see it in real life loved up perfect couple but actually under ther surface he is controlling/she is cheating the list goes on! I don't know why they split but I don't think it's odd to cut ties with you ex when you do!

As for the friend again who knows what happened but selling a story is only going to convince Meghan she was right.

I have never heard about dorias extended family have they spoken out too?

It's hard to know I guess I feel sympathy for her as while I will put up with a lot when people cross the line that's it they are gone maybe Meghan is the same maybe she has been bitten in the past. It does seem like her way of dealing with conflict is to cut people off but without knowing her reasons it's hard to say if that's the right or wrong way to deal with Issues!

I couldn't even get halfway through that DM article, it was so floridly written and overblown! The main gist of it seems to be "woman has ex boyfriend - shock horror" and the rest is just the reporter projecting.

I have to say I don’t like much of what has been said about Diana on this thread. It sounds like she was very unwell really.

Just watched Meghan's suffragette speech. She was like an actress paying a role. I wonder where the acting stops?

It speaks volumes that both her ex husband and ex boyfriend think highly of her and haven’t a bad word to say.

Who says they think highly of her?

So I just had a quick look none of doria's family have spoken out that I can see apart from to talk about Meghan as a child (positive from what I have seen) and to express their joy at her getting married (one half uncle and a step grandmother). That's all I can find so it's hard to say what has happened on that side of the family it seems very possible to me busy life's and distance means they just aren't close there isn't any hard feelings I can see. I might have missed something but for now all I can see is yes there is a vocal group who speak out against her lots but there is also a group that seem very loyal to her and her mum.

Ahh the thread has moved so fast! I've been busy making Halloween gingerbread skeletons lol 😂

So far what I've seen on MM for the NZ part I've liked her style.

Arriving in Wellington to discuss mental health

Stuart Weitzman boots. Rather unfortunately named Veruka

Well they both say so in the article

I did read an article in which her uncle on her mother’s side said he had helped her in her career . Yet she now doesn’t talk to him. Strange

I have never had a girl crush, as you call it. You appear to know all about it, however. Lol

What, not even on a "blood princess"?? 

As mentioned by pp, Prince Harry’s suits are too short and too tight.
Absolutely awful. He needs to bin the lot and get back to Savile Row pronto.
He looks look je a schoolboy with a too small blazer at the end of the year.

Just watched Meghan's suffragette speech. She was like an actress paying a role. I wonder where the acting stops?

She has identified as a feminist since childhood. It's not acting.
