Special edition: Eugenie wedding thread

Harry and Meghan have 2 days more in NZ before they head back to London and, if I was her, I'd put on pyjamas, get Netflix fired up, and not leave my bed for several days! William and Kate will be out for a sporty engagement in Essex tomorrow and I'm sure we'll start to see them more as she's now officially back from maternity leave..

No idea what the continental royals are up to but New My Royals (does that title even make sense?) is my go-to link for them!

AhoyDelBoy, I think you are right because her weight hasn't changed since her wedding. I hope she is healthy and happy and doesn't feel pressure due to the constant public attention regarding her looks and weight. I remember hearing about how Diana struggled in this respect and wouldn't want that for this generation as well.

The Givenchy jumper and skirt combo are equally gorgeous. Really suits her

I agree @rosewater09 didn’t Diana suffer with eating disorders?

Yes, she did @AhoyDelBoy, and she was pretty open about it during her later years. I love that Cathrine is keen on sports and you can see when she is participating in sports that she enjoys it and is good at it.

Yeh I agree. I’m sure Kate wants to be a healthy role model for her kids as well.

I might splash out on these for soft play/winter. Expensive but worth it I think

This afternoon’s outfit.
Did you say it was Givenchy @Paradyng?

It’s a bit sheer in the sunshine so the press are having a field day
I like the colour. I think it is a sort of electric blue / violet.

The pears are really smart and the knit fabric must be comfortable to wear....

*pleats

Based on that photo alone I love it! I love the colour!

Well Rotarua was the last day and that was their last engagement.
The stamina it must have taken them to survive all that is incredible.
I think they will be dressed up for their formal farewell rom Auckland; tomorrow morning.
However if Meghan wants to wear a onesie and ugg boots on the plane; I will not blame her!

Oh what an absolutely gorgeous outfit! Incredibly chic.

Yet again she's been let down by her advisors/stylist though. You can see her pants very clearly, and this should have been picked up. If you know your client will be photographed, you check the material holds up to this.

LOVE the blue Givenchy! I thought Kate looked great yesterday, though I wasn't so keen on the jacket. I wonder will they have a fourth 🤔

I don't imagine we'll see MM again until the Remembrance day events. She must be exhausted.

They went to Rotarua????? OMG the place stinks of rotten eggs. Give the girl another medal for not gagging.

Apologies to NZ friends but you must know what I mean 

Yes Givenchy. Didn't spot the transparency. Oh dear poor Megs!

That's a gorgeous skirt and top, I love the pleats. The colour is gorgeous and it really suits her.

The Stella dress is nice as well. I like that she wore a necklace that she was given earlier on the tour as well, I think it was made by a Maori artist and has symbolic meaning? Nice touch of fashion diplomacy.

But the transparency... whoever is supposed to be styling her needs to take a step back. What with the tag thing and then this, they really haven't covered themselves in glory here.

Love that outfit on Meghan but agree she needs to get rid of her stylist. Mistakes like that shouldn’t happen.

I can't do links but the DM have an article called 'meghans hits and howlers' if someone would like to link it, kind of a montage of all the best and worst outfits from the tour...

Is the skirt transparent? I looked and the photos and thought it was just the way the light reflected off the multi-tonal fabric.

I don't think she has a "stylist" though. I think her friend is just advising her (badly).

She needs to sit down and look at each outfit and then the overall look / tone and be totally ruthless about what worked and what didn't. Having said that, the emerging pregnancy won't have helped as she's definitely got a bigger bust now!

@Queenoftheandals I think you can see a visible pant line...
I really like the outfit apart from the sheerness. Agree she needs words with her stylist she really shouldn’t need to worry about this kind of thing.

I’m sad the tour is now over although I’m sure they are both very relieved!!

@VanillaSugary Jaysus is forgotten about the rotten egg smell there!!! I wouldn't have been able to handle that while pregnant 🙈

@mmmgoats Yes I wasn't sure if that was a trick of the light or not. Oh well, if it was sheer then at least she was wearing sensible pants, not like when poor Kate's skirt blew up and she was in a thong!

That Givenchy is just beautiful, shame about the transparency but what the heck!

A very royal colour Meghan is wearing. I love it.
Kate does look incredibly thin in the video from that event, but I just think she does a lot of working out and all black is very slimming anyway. She has always been sporty, friends from school say her and Pippa were natural athletes. She also has access to the best nutritionists and can sources good quality foods and has someone to cook for her.
