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!

Having had another look at the blue transparent dress, it is straining over her bust and really looks too tight. i imagine all the outfits were ordered pre pregnancy or before it started to show.

The skirt is bespoke Givenchy.

Re: the stylist; I suspect Harry & Meghan wanted to do everything themselves.
A bit like Kate & William thought they would manage without a Nanny when George was born

I think that’s the last we’ll see of Jessica Mulroney in a professional capacity. She was out of her depth as a stylist.

Meghan needs a proper ladies maid to accompany her on tour. I think she has good taste, but she doesn’t have the experience of a Royal tour to adapt fast enough.

Whenever Kate has a significant appearance or tour, she always has her hairdresser and stylist on hand

That skirt is gorgeous - I hope they fix the see-through thing so it can be worn again, and this doesn't mean it will be relegated off to the back of the cupboard. It's really lovely!

Unless you're Camilla...

Beautiful outfit and colour. And yes, they need someone who knows the ropes to check for transparency, skirts that need weighting etc.

Well done bruffin

Superb roving reporting

I was working at a large civic reception when Charles and Diana were guests (yes, I'm that old!), and we had to set up a small retiring room, for the the Royal party to return to for their lunch and 'rest'.

That skirt is gorgeous - I hope they fix the see-through thing so it can be worn again,

Well it’s bespoke so if she pops it back to Givenchy; they should sew a lining in for her. I don’t think Meghan will need to pop down to M&S for a petticoat.

Apart from the departure from NZ tomorrow; I guess that’s going to be all from the British RF for a while.
Rememberance concert at the Albert Hall on Saturday 10th so hopefully Kate will be in a gorgeous evening dress.
Remerance Sunday, so everyone in black coats & hats.
Then it’s Prince Charles 70th Birthday on the 14th November, so maybe there will be some events around that.
Apparently the Queen is throwing him a private party on the Wednesday but there probably won’t be any photos.

Charles and Camilla start a tour of The Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria today I think at least that's what he said on a Instagram video! (Don't get more modern than that)

Given her experience with the red carpet etc I'm surprised she hasn't been more in tune with checking how things photograph. Still, to channel my 79 year old mother 'she should have worn a petticoat' grin

That is surprising. Surely she checks her own appearance in a full length mirror? You don’t need a so-called stylist for basic things, surely?

But unless it's a mirror outdoors in the morning full sun, the see-through issue may not have shown up. I can't be the only person who has put what I thought was a totally respectable outfit on only to pop to the loo later on and realise that under different lights I'm displaying tomorrow's washing?

Vanillerysugar Camilla gives nary a fuck Good for her!

Ah. Good point.

I think if you pay ££££ for a garment, it should at least be lined!

@itswinetime

Yes & Camilla are going to the Gambia.

He has been such an idiot cooperating with the latest book.Charles had a lot of goodwill after Harry & Meghan’s wedding. Now he has self sabotaged on the eve of his 70th birthday; and where plans are afoot to make him Regent in 3 years.

Charles is an exasperating man.

I notice she checked she wasn’t showing her legs off, too, as she knelt which she did earlier in the tour. How utterly tedious to have to do those walk abouts! Thank goodness I’m not royal!

Link fail
Gambia

Looks like Meghan’s outfit today was inspired by Givenchy SS19

The colours are beautiful especially the blue green combos and the metallic evening gowns.
All those colours are Meghan. I think we will be seeing a lot of pleated skirts on Meghan; they have suited her really well during her pregnancy.

Sounds like a rather nice jolly for C&C. A bit of sun just as the weather starts to get cold over here!

I didn't realise he hadn't celebrated his 70th yet - I thought it was around the time of that garden party in the summer, a few days after H&M's wedding.

Morning all (just) checking in.

I think Meghan really needs to sit her friend down and tell her it isn't working. A sheer skirt with knickers showing for anyone let alone a Duchess is shocking! But also why didn't the dress maker line it!

Next we will see of M and H and the other royals really is remembrance weekend.

Hits n howlers

Some great Givenchys there. I saw a photo of Cate Blanchett wearing this dress and it was just so interesting and elegant on her.

Lets hope Megs breaks this ensemble out for Charles' 70th, and Harry could always try this one!

A couple more pics of the sheer skirt . Whivh I think is gorgeous

Surely Meghan is more than 4 months?!
