Royal style and gossip: photo calls and tennis balls

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Everyone ready for a joint Wimbledon Duchessing?

Am really hoping Serena wins; it would be historic. Fingers crossed!

I think Meghan looks nice, agree a navy shirt or blouse would have worked better though.

Kate’s dress is a fabulous colour, the darts don’t bother me particularly. I’d love to know what she eats and how she exercises to maintains such an amazingly toned figure.

All credit to Halep for not being over awed but I'm dreading if Serena loses. She's not a gracious one imo.

Wow. Didn't even finish my strawberry gin!

That’s a Wimbledon tie ( purple and green)

I preferred last year's outfits. They both seemed to be getting along famously too.

A green skin, seriously. I just realised that's an outy belly button. I also just realised how tight it is over the crotch region.

Serena was very gracious in defeat.

I saw both Kate and Meghan talking and laughing together.
There is no issue with them.

Well played Halep, bad luck Serena.

Actually Meghan's shirt looked snug in the photos but it looks fine on TV and not tight at all.

I think I am a little in Love with Simona!

Wonder if there's a headline 'Serena loses in record time so Meghan only needs to sit by Kate for an hour' 🤣

Simona was lovely.

Simona is adorable! Why is she so keen to meet Kate? I guess she just likes her?

As someone who has struggled with her weight since having kids, I'm going to say how refreshing it is to see a celebrity who hasn't 'snapped back' straightaway after having a baby. I think Meghan looks fab with a bit of extra weight on her! Not keen on her severe hairdo but I don't blame her for having it up, as always I'm struggling to know how Kate can stand to have her hair down in the heat! Pippa looks lovely and summery, so fashion wise she gets the gold from me today, Meghan gets silver and Kate gets bronze.

So Harry and Wills played polo together happily enough, and Kate and Meg seemed to get along just fine. The papers are going to be half the size tomorrow!

No if they can't talk about a rift they will start on how much they cost us don't worry about the papers they shall be normal size!

So tomorrow it's William and Kate at Wimbledon and Harry and Meghan st the lion king premiere busy weekend by royal standards

aj Piers is having a stroke as we type!

Agree with this. I’m never sure about commenting on people’s weight but it was a relief seeing Meghan looking normal after the pictures of Kate looking rail thin.

I much prefer Meghan’s outfit, I like the crisp white shirt look on her it gives of that cool American vibe. She obviously really likes the crisp shirt and full skirt combo, she rocks it here.

That should have read off not of!

I don't like those Elle photos at all. They make her look like she has no torso at all.

She does seem to love the shirt look but I think she looks so much better in tailored sheath dresses (like that lovely yellow one she wore). I suppose she doesn't want to look like she dresses too much like Kate/her character in suits.

I’m still not a fan of the shirt and skirt on the Elle pictures either. I think Meghan has a short-ish torso which is what makes the skirt look pulled really high up.

Personally i don't find the stiff shirt tucked into full skirt look very flattering. It's one of those looks which needs the right body shape to pull off. Unless you've got the long slim torso OR an accentuated waist you risk looking wide and a bit sort of ... compacted. Even when you're not wide or compacted. The shirt misbehaves around the button area trying to escape and bunches up easily giving a shoulders round the ears effect.

Oh sorry xposted with others. Took too long to type.
