Royal style & gossip: more gowns, less frowns

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Link to previous thread.

And once again, let's keep this good-spirited. Spiteful comments are about as welcome as Fergie at Prince Philip's birthday party!

Lots of emphasis on cruelty versus kindness. Making a point there I think. The cradling the baby bump is just bloody annoying.
All credit to her for continuing to show up in the face of all the gossip and speculation

I think this is where her showbiz background serves her well, she has the confidence and experience to do this kind of event by herself.

Something very pointed in Meghan's speech when she said it's "cool to be kind": not just the words but the inflection and tone. Anyone else pick up on that?

God though, do people need to find whatever they can to criticise this poor woman on?

She looks flawless tonight

Have posted pics of the other celebs attending on the Celebrity Style & Gossip thread.

Yes pupsiecola.. that’s what I meant. Definitely making a point

She looks a good six months to me

Cross posted moon. The bump cradling is reminding me a little bit of Angelina's Leg.

Bless her, MM is out tonight. All the other Princesses look a bit dowdy compared to Meghan tonight

After all the crap that's been thrown at her lately, I think I can forgive a bout of bump cradling! And she looks amazing tonight, just radiant.

If I could work out how to post emojis I would post one of the ‘crying with laughter’ ones!

Is that a JUMPSUIT on MM @CurlyWurlyTwirly? She's brave!

Love meghans dress tonight and I like the sleek bun she is glowing! Only have very limited internet at the moment so I haven't seen the clips but in the photos you all have shared (thanks for my fix) she looks happy and relaxed maybe it's an act but considering the amount of negativity she has directed at her at the moment it's nice to see.

And in other news Prince Jacques And Princess Gabriella of Monaco turned 4.
I like to see they’ve picked their own clothes!

In response to the Anjelina’s leg comment

According to twitter MM is wearing a dress (gown)

Meanwhile the adorable monegasque twins have turned 4. Jacques looks like any other little boy his age in jeans and Spider-Man hoodie (no twee shorts for him!) but his shoes appear to be several sizes too big and give him Goofy feet!

Snap @CurlyWurlyTwirly!

Perhaps cradling her bump makes her feel a bit more confident, in the way that DoC used to always hold a clutch with two hands. I mean, after the recent nasty press and family matters again it may have taken a lot to step out on that stage, alone.

Meghan looks gorgeous, and got a warm welcome.

Meghan has literally been analysed from top to toe in an hour.
She is wearing ethical earrings

Spring could mean March 1st so she may well be six months gone already. Or she might be having an 11lb plus baby which is why I was also the size of a bus at a similar stage......I had big bumps with all of my babies, and I think were used to seeing Kate pregnant who only really had a noticeable bump towards the very end of her pregnancies.

Her dress and shoes are fab. Her hair looks so much better like that

Meghan looks stunning...and surely cradling your baby bump is natural.

I dunno, I remember taking a photo of myself in a mirror at 20 weeks and I looked the exact same. I was sending it to someone to ask if my bump was too big? I felt enormous. Everyone was commenting on how big I was for 5 months, it was so embarrassing. I was so self conscious. I just popped really early. It wasn't fluid or anything, and there was definitely only one in there!

I actually looked pretty standard by the end. I plateaued. But since then I don't judge bumps cos I know from my own personal experience that some are quick, some are slow.

She looks amazing, this is my favourite look from her so far. It's clean, classic but still contemporary.
