Royal style & gossip: look out, duchesses about!

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Completely missed the ball with the previous thread so hope this thread is easy enough to find!

Previous thread

I wasn’t expecting Meghan to be cleaning out cat litter, but at a pet rescue centre; where are the photos of her with the animals?
I thought cream was a brave choice, if an excitable puppy was likely to jump up.
She looked fabulous, wore high street maternity, but it looked liked she popped in and didn’t do too much....

Ok, dog pic. Matches her cream Armani coat and apparently Atella McCartney bag.

But a £25 dress!

Thé dress was a great choice.
Here she is chatting to a former homeless man
She was good at namecheching the Mayhew.

I may be a bit old fashioned, but why did no one offer a seat to the pregnant duchess?

She's out again this evening at the Cirque du Soleil premiere but I'm guessing it'll be basic black for our Megs.

Right, i asked Charlotte of mad about Meghan and hrhduchesskate... she is UK based!! 😀 s
Also sent her a link to this thread!!

I'm not sure about the dress. It looks cheap and is a bit short. Also the bare legs look terrible.

Popping in and not doing much is the whole raison d'etre of royalty. Their entire life is a sequence of photo ops, they may do a bit of cosplay but Meghan doesn't seem to favour the literal dressing that Kate goes for. I liked both of their outfits, love Meghan's dress today! And super cute dog.

I'd also be very pleased if my bare legs looked that terrible!¡!

MM looks fab and happy, but still, the bandaged squished boobs effect is still there. Looks very uncomfortable. Havent seen any Californian earth mother looks yet

Her poor little legs look raw.

I’m also not sure about that dress...some of the pictures don’t look good at all

I thought that was a bizarre outfit to wear to an animal rescue centre. Trousers and a jumper with flat boots would have been so much more appropriate.

I really like Camilla being called Duchess of Rothesay in those Aberdeen posts. At least in Scotland, she and PC get to use the same title name.

I think it's 5 visits by royal women - one for Kate and two each for Meghan and Camilla.
Anne would do five on her own, before lunch

I think Meghan looks fab, but in her shoes I'd have gone for skinnies, nice boots and jacket. She does look a wee bit daft traipsing about with a puppy dressed like she's at a wedding.

Gah. I hate beige. Such a non colour.

No no no. Far too tight. But how is this even possible? Looks dreadful, possibly a size up would help at least.

I think Megan's outfit today is awful. Too short, too tight and looks cheap.

I'm sorry it's a no from me for both Duchesses. I love the colour of Kate's suit but don't like anything about the style. The tights and shoes I don't like either. It looks too old, too fussy, too frumpy.

I don't like meghan's outfit either. The dress is just a nothing dress, too tight, shapeless and a nondescript colour. I think it's too short and the bare legs just look awful . Also think the outfit is all wrong for the occasion. She really, really needs a proper stylist.

I also don't understand why Meghan isn't wearing tights. It's winter and cold.

That tight dress looks so vulgar. Why does she have bare legs in the UK in January? Why doesn't she get a decent stylist or maternity wear advice from Kate?

I like the bag, but that's it.

That’s a strange dress, but we get a good look at the bump. Maybe that’s what the dress was about,

Maybe she didn't like Kate's maternity style, maybe she doesn't want a stylist to tell her what to wear, maybe she hates wearing tights and doesn't want to bother for all of 20 seconds outside between a chauffeur driven car and the place she was visiting, no doubt heated. I don't see what looks terrible about a woman's bare legs. And nice legs at that!

The dress ^^is cheap. One day she is slagged off for spending too much, the next she looks cheap. Kate looks terrible in tights, simultaneously Meghan looks terrible bare legged. I used to be quite anti royal but I'm surprised at how much sympathy I feel for these (albeit pampered) women, criticised for every decision on something as inconsequential as clothes and hosiery

It's actually from H&M's maternity range so it's meant to be snug-fitting.
