Meghan looked great today and a perfect choice wearing pieces from the collection but that are still very her style Iyswim!

I wonder if they have done a small roll out for the collection initially and the. Can always do extra later if it's successful maybe even expand the collection a bit.

Meghan looks fabulous

frugalkitty · 12/09/2019 16:59

Leno I don't think she can see anything in the reflection of all the diamonds he cones with Grin

Reminds me of the line in Pride and Prejudice, something like 'one would be prepared to put up with a great deal to be mistress of Pemberley'

RuggyPeg · 12/09/2019 17:05

Mm looks fantastic today. Everything is spot on. I have serious hair envy too. It looks think and shiny and just perfectly wavy.

AppleKatie · 12/09/2019 17:10

Meghan looks great today.

The pictures upthread of Kate pre marriage are really interesting. I always forget how young and uncertain she looked back then. She has much more self confidence now and seems much happier.

ItsJustTheOneSwanActually · 12/09/2019 17:10

Yes just what does she see in PRINCE Harry ?? Grin

I too think she looks fab.

Spudlet · 12/09/2019 17:10

She looks great! Love the shoes.

Becles · 12/09/2019 17:11

Even though I don't shop at Jigsaw, I really liked the trousers on MM. They looked like something for most women in my life (women with hips and a bum IYSWIM).

She looked 'real' and aspirational rather than unachievable.

Gooseysgirl · 12/09/2019 17:12

Meghan looked fab today! Spot on for the occasion. Haven't looked at the clothing collections yet.

MoreProseccoNow · 12/09/2019 17:22

Meghan looks great. I like the dress in the collection.

hopeishere · 12/09/2019 17:24

She looks good. I had a very similar dress from M&S to that one. It was great as it washed really well.

frugalkitty · 12/09/2019 17:45

I've just read the script of her speech, very nicely worded and there's a real warmth in her words that (to me) suggest a real interest and commitment in this venture.

paradyning · 12/09/2019 17:46

I think she looks fab too. So modern and fresh. Love her shoes! And her hair. Make up immaculate as normal.
Gush gush gush!
Love the sold out tote bag too!

Amanduh · 12/09/2019 17:57

She looks nice. Lovely hair. But nothing special. Bit boring. But I suppose perfect for the event. Very literal dressing GrinWink

beanaseireann · 12/09/2019 18:06

Please tell me the lady in the navy polka dot dress with navy jacket is not bowing to Meghan. Picture 47 in the DM. Sorry I can't do links.
I think Meghan looks great. Perfectly dressed for the event and she has a lovely smile which always reminds me of Julia Roberts

Gonegrey31 · 12/09/2019 18:15

Meghan is being greeted by one of the Deputy Lieutenants for London, see her badge on the navy jacket which denoted her status. This means this is an official engagement and will be reported in the Court Circular.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 12/09/2019 18:23

I liked the fact that Meghan wore the pieces from the collection but styled them up in her own way.
The tobacco belt and shoes worked really well.
Herspeech great. Obviously being an actress helps delivery, but she knows her stuff
Sounds like the Sussex Royal Foundation 2020 is going to be a big deal. I suspect there will be a lot of A listers and a US style Benefit fundraiser.

BertrandRussell · 12/09/2019 18:30

“This means this is an official engagement and will be reported in the Court Circular.”
Still no need to curtesy. Oh well, if she wanted to. Like Theresa Nay curtsying to William.

thisenglishlife · 12/09/2019 18:38

Meghan wore one of Diana's bracelets and a pair of her earrings. Both worn previously by her.

Loved Meghan's look today - spot on for the event. I'm after a white shirt so will have a look at the collection.

She was just up the road from my work today - gutted I missed out on a royal spotting opportunity!

JaimeBronde · 12/09/2019 18:59

It's nice to see Diana's jewellery being worn by Kate & Meghan, sort of like she's still here in a way.
That's what my DMIL says to me as my wedding ring belonged to her GM.
DMIL adored her GM. And I'm quite honoured to be wearing her ring.

TSSDNCOP · 12/09/2019 19:05

I thought MM looked terrific at the event.

I’ve just bought the blue shift for work.

BlingLoving · 12/09/2019 19:27

I'm tempted by both the blue and black shifts. I'm just trying to work out whether to get the petite or regular. I often wear petite tops as I have a a short body. I have work petite dresses and it can go either way but regular can often be weird on me. But then, there's no waist on this dress so probably regular would work? I'm 5ft4?

banivani · 12/09/2019 19:58

Meghan looked good! Very appropriate for the event and sort of aspirational - giving you ideas on how to wear the clothes. Clever. I agree she’s a good speaker - better speaker than writer, what might become “flowery” on the page sounds natural when spoken. Pity the usual eBay vultures are out in force, let’s hope the charity gets good publicity anyway and hopefully new sponsors.

Sconesat4 · 12/09/2019 20:40

I felt Meghan did really well today. She looked good and spoke really well . Not sure about the clothes though, but they seem to be getting a positive response.

One thing that does drive me mad is the way she is constantly pushing her hair around and playing with it. If she stopped doing that she would have a lot more gravitas. It just looks a bit little girly.
