Royal style and gossip: photo calls and tennis balls

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Everyone ready for a joint Wimbledon Duchessing?

Poor old Roge

But well done, Novak!

I didnt think Beyonce looked awestruck, they were chatting away

I like the idea Of Meghan's dress and the length is a great length on her shoes on point as always. But she is still struggling with fit not surprising really when her body is still changing so much.

Kate doing the trophy? Really Duke of Kent was right there too? He didn't look great though

Megh looks fabulous. From photos it looks like she is breastfeeding and boobs have filled again. She can't control that.

She looks like a gorgeous new mum, but unlike most of us she can't get away with sweat pants and baggy bras!

Wine I imagine they are preparing for Kate to take over next year

@itswinetime She's doing it with the DoK, they haven't snubbed him!

Oh I see has to turn off and go to work that's fair enough then yes it seems the transition has started than.

Come on, the dress looks awful. It doesn’t fit at all and is reminiscent of that flowery dress she wore to meet the elderly. There’s no excuse as she could have got something much more accommodating last minute.

Her figure looks great but she’s clearly one of these women who had it in her mind tag she’s a set size when she’s actually 2 sizes bigger.

What on Earth is Beyonce wearing?

I think Meghan looks glorious - and I don’t think the dress looks too tight or ill-fitting at all!

Beyoncé posted very emotionally about Meghan marrying Harry and how much it meant to her to see someone black marrying into the royal family. It was really moving. So I’m not surprised to see how genuine and warm their greetings look.

I know I’d much rather be meeting Beyoncé and watching The Lion King than going to Wimbledon - I hate tennis. I love both the duchesses’ dresses though!

And Chardonnay, I was slightly taken aback by just how much of Beyoncé I could see I some of the photos - that’s quite a side split on the dress! But she is Beyoncé; I think she gets away with it!

I like the dress but with the simple design, colour and severe hair I think she would have looked stunning with some big statement earrings

I don't know, that's a lot of Beyonce on show.

How did they manage to cover so little of her body using so much yellow fabric will is quite the achievement.

Meghan’s dress doesn’t fit, looks awful and the proportions are all wrong.

Awful is a bit strong but it is tight on the bust. Some (otherwise lovely) women just cannot ‘see’ when they change shape. Someone should be telling Meghan though. She’s a beautiful woman and looks fabulous, in perfectly fitting clothes she’d be even better.

She looked incredibly comfortable chatting to Beyonce. Having Beyonce fan girl towards you must be though.

I had heard rumours another baby might be on the way sooner rather than later. If so that may be why she struggling with fit.

I have a small gap between two of mine and about 5 weeks into pregnancy two looked about five months.

The length is gorgeous. She has fabulous ankles. She has fabulous shoes and looked much younger than me than her years. She has wonderful skin and is so pretty.

But that dress looks uncomfy.

Oh now I’ve seen more photos the top is very stretched in parts.

They might well go for a tiny age gap but there is nothing about Meghan’s figure to suggest another pregnancy! She looks unbelievable for a two-months post-partum mother. I would love to have her figure now, five years post-partum!

Okaaaay I’ll bite... this is a shit dress for post-preggo bodies because how bloody horribly uncomfortable... and it’s the same as KM’s dress earlier, it’s giving me hot flashes just looking at it. Too tight and somehow not nice on a summers evening. Also looks a bit “old lady evening line at Debenhams”. Honestly whoever is giving her advice is mean, they don’t seem to consider she’s going to be sitting there in that tight dress for hours. Plus she’s a beaut, so how hard can this be!!!? Great shoes though, as ever

I’ll bite too on the vids I’ve seen on IG. I know you’re all going to absolutely flame me for saying this but ho hum, we can have different opinions :) I love Beyoncé. Like... LOVE HER. Do I think any royalty should be hugging her (...ready for the flaming)... no. Because H&M are there as UK representatives. It’s a formal event. For anyone else excited to meet MM it’s a case of “who does she hug and who does she not”, it looks preferential. Kids, fine...adults, no. Royals are supposed to be neutral. Here it’s ok-ish we not exactly a diplomatic group, but I personally don’t like to see any great variation in how they interact with people. Sooooo boring but there you go. (Would I hug Beyoncé? Yes!!)

Beyoncé... well it’s her premiere, she can wear what she wants :) And lovely colour on her... and she’s just too fab so can wear what she likes :) can you tell I love Beyoncé... :)

Yeah Captain I did wonder if I should post as it sounded figure critical and I think she's beautiful!

Also... wouldn’t mind at all for another little H&M baby on the way! That would be really exciting :) Nice news if and when it happens :)

@Notmyrealname855 you've probably given the Mail ideas now - the headline will be "Meghan hugs inappropriately" tomorrow! Though to be fair, she hugged the Hubb kitchen women too so it's not like she doesn't have form for doing it.

I wouldn’t mind a MM hug, she seems really sweet :) but when it’s a bigger engagement somehow it seems a bit off for a royal to break rank. I’m not going on the Fail!! :(

Out of interest... seen Andy at the cricket (not envy). Wonder what happens if Epstein case evolves and requires his involvement, but Bea wants to get married... interesting.

I think the dress is a little tight over her bust but she looks fantastic I think.

I really wish Beyoncé would not wear clothes that make her look like a stripper
