Royal style & gossip: Megs goes mad in Morocco, Kate keeps cool in Kensington

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Let's keep criticism to the clothes rather than the women please...

The side seams on the kaftan are puckering, I really wouldn't expect that from a Dior dress.

It doesn't seem made well.

That second photo on the madaboutmeghan blog - I swear I can see a limb or something next to her navel. Ouch!

Hope I just came on to play Afifth’a game too, but managed to delete my post instead of posting...

Anyway, that middle dress was one I’d picked!

Also this www.seraphine.com/en-gb/blush-silk-lace-maternity-gown.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwKnq54jV4AIV0xXTCh21Gg8JEA0YASABEgJFnPD_BwE

Or this if one-shoulder was acceptable www.isabellaoliver.com/uk/shop/maternity-clothes/maternity-dresses/belmont-maternity-maxi-caviar-black.htm

I think those first two would have had criticism for being too revealing for Morocco. Teal one is nice

Not crazy about the neckline and crossover on the dior dress much prefer her in red than that washed out colour. Her make up is always spot on.

Anyway, I don't particularly like the dress on her as neither the colour nor neckline is flattering but as usual her hair and makeup is spot on. It probably looks a lot better in person though, I'm sure most of this stuff is rendered less attractive by modern photography and high def.

Have to say for years wasnt keen on Kates clothes, she has upped her game a lot recently. Perhaps it takes time to find your royal style.

I thought that smegs!

I love this Dior look - it's matronly in the best possible way, I know that doesn't sound like a compliment but I mean the kind of swanning in like "yes I'm pregnant, yes I am wearing a crystal encrusted wizard sleeve kaftan and so what... I dgaf I am very important and fabulous".

Which is also what a lot of people dislike about her but I'm here for it.

Love the Dior but it is hugely disappointing that yet again she is not show casing british designers.

Exactly @PinguDance

It's very What Would Princess Margaret Do?

Same, Pingu!

Genuine question: at these events women are expected to be immaculately turned out and in their Sunday best. If she had turned up in a lovely Isabella Olivier or Seraphine dress, would the hosts perhaps be offended? What is the British equivalent of Dior? My favourite Meghan dress was her evening wedding gown, so maybe something by Stella would fit the bill? Would you count Claire Waight Keller, who yes designs for a French brand but it British born and trained?

I can’t decide if I like the Dior I think it might have been better in a different colour
She looks so radiant in jewel tones

That should be the motto for this collective actually

When it comes to personal/work stuff

What would Princess Anne do ?

When it comes to being glamorous and looking important

What would Princess Margaret do?

😂

So just incase the powers that be have a cheeky look in what British designers would people like to see Meghan work? For maternity wear or for post baby. Obviously Stella McCartney we know works for her and I liked the Victoria Beckham dress at Christmas but Who else? Kate has her go to favourites? Who would be on the dream list for Meghan?

The insect clasp on the bag is divine

British designers

Alice Temperley is British right? I like her stuff

Catherine Walker - I still covet the dress of hers Darcy Bussell wore

I sometimes ask myself that when I have a particularly unpalatable work task to do @bartonhollow > what would princess anne do?

Also, not following you around I promise!

Chardonnay I did wonder what the bump bit under M's left arm was .Is that the puckering seam ?

You're apparently my twin Aber so it's fine!

it does seem that way!

It would be nice to see Meghan wear some British designers but I do wonder which ones would suit her style - Kate is virtually a patron of Alexander MacQueen so MM might want to avoid them and I can't see Meghan in Jenny Packham or Temperly. Maybe she'd be more into Vivienne Westwood or Christopher Kane - but maybe they're a bit edgy? I'm sure there are lots of small British designers I don't really know about she could wear but in terms of the 'names' in British fashion I can't see her suiting many. I suppose she could venture out in a Burberry coat every now and again.

Seeing that picture I don’t love the way the sleeve drapes either

She looks beautiful though, obviously - absolutely
glowing

It's actually growing on me! There is something very odd around the bust though!

lol I'd have to work on my withering put downs if I were to try and channel Princess Margaret!
