@QueenOfTheAndals As you know, Edward and Sophie have always been the closest to the Euro Royals. I can't think of any wedding where they weren't the Queen's representative.

Charles and Camilla went to Wax's coronation, however, as Heirs.

Silver shoes would have been better.

Those ones of Kate's were fab.

In the past most of Meghan's shoes have appeared to be too big. Perhaps they'll be a better fit now.

That bump seems to come and go!

I love the white dress and the red is fab. The green - I dunno, loved the colour but the material looked thick and the sleeves are just wrong.

@Laiste Mine came and went at that stage too, depending on what I ate. No doubt there's already some conspiracy theorists on Tumblr who claim she's just faking her pregnancy!

I think the white evening dress is lovely. I must say, if i were well off i would dress very similarly to Meghan. I love the simple lines and neutral pallet. Navy suits most women better than black and is so easy to wear.

Fake (pregnancy) news.

It depends a lot on how you stand as well. Back arched and hands on top of bump definitely accentuates it. when you need a bit of sympathy

I definitely like Meghan's minimalist style. I'd say she, CP Mary and Queen L have the royal wardrobes I envy the most. Kate and Mathilde are too mother of the bride, CPs Vic and M-M never get it quite right, and Maxima is obviously fabulous but I'm not sure anyone else could pull off her outfits!

Maxima's personality makes her outfits work. It's clear just from looking a photos of the woman that she's lovely to be around. Those animated expressions, often being mirrored by those talking to her, are lovely and show she is comfortable in her own skin.

I'd like to see Meghan letting it all hang out a bit personality wise. I guess her training as an actor makes having tight control over your face and body second nature and hard to switch off.

Max is just fabulous. She’s got oodles if style.

And she always looks like she's having a fantastic time, wherever she is.

I think Kate looks so drawn. I looked similar 8m post birth- between feeding and lack of sleep and have never been as slim since

Thanks Queen. How sad they never made amends before Dianna died. And all over that! I like this picture from the slideshow, they both look very chic with their glasses.

Oh dear, I see the DM have been having a field day after M was seen with a label hanging off her red dress. I bet all her outfits are labelled for the occasion she will be wearing them and she is so bloody knackered she didn't notice.
Agree the white dress needed silver shoes. I LOVE those Jimmy Choos the Kate wore!!
Don't like the green dress much and I think the red dress is a bit overpowering on her.
For me, every outfit is just a bit wrong somehow.
I thought her friend Jessica Mulrooney was out there advising her - they can hardly have a minute to spend together if so.
I am also bamboozled by the way her bump appears and then seems to shrink again!
I think M just lookslike she's left her body and is going through the motions.
Love Harry's clothes and his proud new air of confidence.

@AhoyDelBoy Fergie probably feels quite sad about that as I'm sure they would've eventually patched things up. Apparently Diana fell out with Elton John too but they kissed and made up at Versace's funeral, just a few months before she died.

Funny how well I remember hearing about Diana's death. I can remember exactly where I was and even what I was wearing!

Also @AhoyDelBoy the ad underneath the photo you posted "Motor injury" 

I think Megan is now wearing actual maternity wear so her bump looks smaller as there is extra material to accommodate it. Previously I think she wore a bigger size and I know she wore a certain style dress that is not a maternity dress ( I have it and prefer to say it is a flattering fit and particularly kind to the stomach area 🤪🤪🤪

Oh shit Queen that was the ad under it, I think it’s for a legal practice

Ooo which dress Limpy?

Her cheapest high high street The burgundy polka dot.

That's a gorgeous dress!

Funny how well I remember hearing about Diana's death. I can remember exactly where I was and even what I was wearing!
I can remember answering the phone (an old landline attached to the wall) to my Nana who told me. I must have been 12, I was so upset 😰

Mad About Meghan has more info on her bling. She wore Diana's aquamarine ring, which she also wore with the Stella M dress on her wedding day.

There's also a picture on there of Diana wearing it with the electric-blue one-shoulder sheath dress, my all-time favourite gown of hers.

@AhoyDelBoy I was about 20, about to head off to the uni library to study and it came on the radio. My mum and I were standing in the kitchen in shock.
