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

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

an Angela Kelly type advisor. Not AK herself!

Michelle Obama was extremely good at that and is a family friend

I quite like the Dior, especially in the videos. It looks somewhat heavy in the still photographs, but in the videos it is very silky and flowy.

And other commonwealth designers too - new, young COmmonwealth designers. Imagine what Megan's patronage could do for them - and do her own image no harm either.

Clearly the ultimate arbiter of if it is a British Designer is the Daily Mail:

Emilia Wickstead - sounds British so British
McQueen - sounds British so ignore fact that clothes made in Italy
Clare Waight Keller - works for Givenchy, sounds French so clearly bad plus Meghan factor = evil
Zara - thrifty Kate factor, British

Barton you're killing me!

I wondered when someone would google him

To be fair Anna I think the Fail would prefer the Duchesses turned out in the manner of the Handmaids Tale.

Google not needed Barton

Has Kate ditched Topshop now that Philip Green is mired in accusations of sexual harassment and bullying?

It is hard to be super glam when pregnant, I think Meghan is doing well most of the time. I made myself a couple of maternity tops it isn`t easy it is not just your stomach that changes shape.

Ah I missed the "an" in your post, youllhavehadyourtea, sorry!

I wonder if people in Sweden insist that the Swedish Royals should be championing Swedish designers etc...

Well if that's true @TSSDNCOP then Meghan certainly gave them what they wanted last night

To be fair, the Swedish royals have lucked out when it comes to high street as they've got H&M, Arket, &Other Stories and Cos to choose from!

Maxima champions a Dutch designer but I can't remember his name right now.

And Letizia has Zara and Mango...

Meghan needs to get herself down Dorothy Perkins

Lucky Swedes. Arket is my new favourite place.And they can kit out their palace from Ikea.

Jan something beginning with T?

She wears a lot of Natan, which is Belgian.

Jab Taminiau?

Jan FFS

Claes Iversen is the one I was thinking of. But yes, she does wear a lot of Jan Taminiau (sp?) too.

Mathilde wears loads of Natan too which figures I guess

CP Mary wears a bloke called Jesper Hovring loooooaaads. He's Danish.

Charlene is forever wearing Akris and goes to his shows as a cheerleader and everything, but it's a Swiss brand so I don't get the connection. Perhaps he lives in Monaco now, I dunno.

The talk of Lipsy and Boohoo reminded me of when Kate wore this £50 maxi dress in India. It was from the British online shop Glamorous which is kind of similar to those brands! I thought that was a quite random choice of shop but it looked really good on her!
