Royal style and gossip: photo calls and tennis balls

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Everyone ready for a joint Wimbledon Duchessing?

Meghan's hair and make up are flawless, as always, but the dress just can't match up to that. She seems to like a waistband at that height (maybe to hide the post-birth 'pouch!?) but I just think it cuts her in two and it's much too tight around the chest and back.

Not sure about Queen B's high leg but hey, she's Queen B.

Queen I agree with you that Meghan has a lovely, natural way with people when she's doing visits etc.

Whenever I read about Queen B I keep wondering who's Queen A.

Im a huge Beyoncé fan but that dress is awful. Beyoncé has no sense of style generally.

MM hair is too severe combined with that matronly dress, it's a huge fail. Her ankles are too thin to wear a dress that billows out and cuts her off at the shin.

All that said, I love how enthralled Beyoncé was at meeting MM. I hope the two of them become friends. I feel like only a select few know what it's like to live in a gold fish bowl and MM could probably take some lessons from Bey

Wasn't Harry hugging Elton John too? They know each other don't they?

Oh yes, Candle in the Wind for Diana and all that @noodlenosefraggle

Meghan’s dress is ok, quite low key for the event but that’s probably a good thing. The mesh is too tight on her arms and is pulling and puckering across the bust. Doesn’t really look worth £3454. Like her shoes as usual!

I had Elton down as a possible godfather for Archie!

Christ almighty Beyonce looks obscene!

Meghan pics

That is a whole lotta leg!

I don't think M's dress is flattering. There's one photo where it looks like she fed on one side before she left. However we all know postpartum dressing is hard!!!! She just need to embrace that she's a wee bit bigger and dress to accommodate it.

Kate looked lovely today. That colour suits her.

Meghan’s dress appears to actually be cutting her neck, it is so tight.

Agree on the hugging issue!

Any nice jewellery? Can’t really make it out but looks like nice earrings!

Just asked ds about the “hugging issue” and he said “It’s Beyonce! Who wouldn’t hug Beyonce !!!!!”

I really love what Megs is trying to do. Very elegant etc. But it is too small

But the royals often do that air kiss kiss cheek thing with what seem to be random people. Why is that ok, but hugging is not?

I think Beyonce looks as though she's draped in an old curtain from the dressing up box!

Delurking to say that, having watched MM in Suits, she often wore a shirt with a high waist banded skirt which highlighted her shorter torso - seems she is mimicing that with her choices lately.

I hate Beyonce’s Dress, she’s a beautiful woman and can wear what she likes but for me it doesn’t do anything for her.
I think Megan’s dress would be stunning in a size up. I agree she’s having trouble dressing for her size at the moment - she looks beautiful with glowing skin though.
I’m fourteen weeks pregnant and already feel like a beached whale, I think I’d cry pretty much all the time if I had to be wheeled out in front of people I knew were going to judge everything I wore - I know she chose this but I do feel for her. And that’s not a dig at this thread, for the most part I think it’s usually friendly and positive - nothing like the vile comments on the mail and Instagram.

Meghan has fab shoes.
Beyoncé; put it away love.

So many royals at the tennis & only Andrew at the cricket???

thread speculating whether Kate is pregnant
Good grief.
Yesterday; she was too skinny

Kate’s bag today was so pretty

My theory about Kate going for late 40s fashion is she is trying to make a visual connection with the young Queen Elizabeth.
I liked her coordinating with William today. He looks sharp in separates

I still think it's a winter green tho, and like a PP don't wear pastels. I'd love to get my colours done, I think I would be similarish to Kate. I can't wear black but like raspberry, purple, teal etc. Did anyone else think William looked a complete set blanket today?! He seemed very hard work, so unsmiling and serious. Kate looked lovely. Well done to Novak!
