Royal style & gossip: down with fleeces and double-breasted suits!

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread, complete with our acronyms.

Ive been mostly following these threads since they started but have no idea who this poster is!

Lovely to see the duchess of Kent she does indeed look to be enjoying herself and looks well

I'd love to see Meghan BF in public if she wants to. Not that she ever would, but it'd be nice to see someone in the RF going for it where so many women feel scared or embarrassed to. I say that as someone who struggled to BF both of mine and ended up pumping and mix then formula feeding later.

But I agree, it wouldn't be worth the papers would it. Let's be honest who'd want to BF out and about if you knew you had a lens pointed at you trying to get the money shot to publish everywhere.

Max with giant sleeves!

Max jut loves that sombrero doesn't she?

Beg yours @Elllllle. Long-time lurker and only occasional poster, plus a fairly recent name change. MN member for three/four years but sometimes the etiquette gets away from me. Blame my colonial upbringing.

Not many can carry off a sombrero like Max though

Really suits her though!

Good to see Duchess of Kent 🙂

She'd be at work so of course she wouldn't. The only reason anyone in her position would do that is if they wanted attention for themselves. And it would backfire hugely for that very reason. The last thing Meghan needs is more evidence of ill-judged self-promotion.

Duchess of Kent looks beautiful in those photos.

Lol @DevonUkelele not you... this mysterious former posh poster that curly had to take down a notch.

@DevonUkelele. I don't think Elllllle was referring to you more the old friend posters were talking about. Don't worry there is no etiquette really

I think our 'old friend' was not all that they claimed to be. A number of their posts were factually inaccurate. Just saying...

Just de-lurking to say that she had a name-change fail several threads back, and an advance search on the other name told a very different story!

Oh phew @Elllllle! I thought I had put my foot in it . As you were ...

(I think I do remember her. She did have the best stories, the very best stories )

I had an inkling the Daily Fail might be insinuating bulimia.

Kate must be under a huge amount of pressure so let’s give her some support. I think it’s fair to say “nice dress” or “didn’t like those shoes today”. Picking her apart - looking at you Daily Fail - is not helpful.

Would you mind reminding me of previous instances of Meghan's self promotion? I'm not always current and would be good to know context. Thanks

I didn't mean at a working event but rather somewhere she was off duty, like watching Harry at the polo or out for lunch etc.

@Becles so many but recently the whole hoo-haa about her friends speaking up for her publicly, and the documentary made by Gayle King, both of which must have had her blessing otherwise they would have been frozen out.

Buckingham Palace issued a denial re the Gayle King documentary, saying that it was made without the consent of Harry and Meghan so who knows?

HM is out at BA's headquarters today. I think she's had an engagement every day this week, which is not bad going for 93!

To be honest the amount of nastiness thrown In Meghans direction by the press I have some sympathy with wanting to put another side across. It may not be the way it's normally done but she isn't revealing royal secrets or trying to drag others down (from what I have seen anyway) so I don't think it's too bad for her and those that care about her to want their side of the story out there.

Oh, Jessica Mulroney. There are NO paps in Windsor unless you phone them yourself.

The same can be said for Meghan, but then we start talking about "self-promotion."

Jessica has been papped in Windsor @mumdom? I heard that she was on her way here but not that photographers have been after her.

The Royal Family always freeze out people who speak to the press. This hasn't happened so tells you it was away least with their approval and at worst at their instigation. That's nothing compared with wearing plasters and getting accused of bulimia.
