Sorry! I was in a meeting and dropped the ball.

I'm so tempted to post a funny comment but it would sooo lower the tone of this thread.

Haha looks dodgy, but I think he was just flicking the blanket out before putting it over his lap.

Didn’t like what MM was wearing, bit frumpy ,

Who are the rest of the people in the Braemar photo??

Don't usually see Autumn playing that sort of public role.

Meghan looked fine. Still post-partum so the dress was flattering. Not sure about the cardi with it but separately it's lovely.

US open is more casual than Wimbledon ,but I Thought she’d wear something more wow!

Wonder the next time Serena advances to the finals and Meghan texts “I’m on my way” what will Serena say

Dress ok, but she does have a think for these ties at the waist. Since she is short waisted I think that doesn't look good on her. Don't think the cardigan worked with it. She looked happy and relaxed, but I guess when your every expression is being photographed constantly it must be a strain.

I do wonder what the reason for their decision not to go to Braemar is . Definitely not 'too busy' as they claim, Considering M has never been at all, it seems a bit rude. Obviously not because Archie is too young either, since he's not too young to travel to Africa.

I read somewhere that Harry never goes to Balmoral. Not sure if it’s true. I would imagine it has pretty grim memories for him.

Yes, that's true.

Good point.
I think the summer after Diana died; Charles took him to Africa; and that’s where his love affair with the continent began.

Apparently H&M have been working behind the scenes on their individual projects ( Travelyst and Smartworks) also that African tour is huge; although there is a team organising the logistics, The Sussexes must be organised in the planning, so must be busy.
Would have been a boring weekend with Bojo and the Braemar games.
However, it is a shame they didn’t go up with William and Kate. Whatever that situation is, I hope it resolves itself.

I have to say if it had been me, I wouldn’t have been able to resist having dinner with Her Maj and Johnson. I would have been in my private jet faster than you can say “environmental catastrophe”......

I read somewhere that capes were going to be in this autumn and thought it was bollocks. Maybe not.

Like the denim dress, I have a similar one. Less convinced by the cape.

I don’t think it’s a Cape , it looks like a j.crew cardi.

Meghan looks noticeably happier in those NY pics. I'm not getting the love for the denim dress, it's extremely ordinary, but since this is not a work thing I think she's entitled to wear what she likes.

I find it odd that she would want to leave her four month old baby - and PFB at that - for a weekend jaunt and yes I am judging her. I know others will take a different view but that's how I feel.

“I find it odd that she would want to leave her four month old baby - and PFB at that - for a weekend jaunt ”
I was wondering when that would start. To be fair, it’s taken longer than I expected.......

The denim dress is nothing exciting but it was fine for a tennis match. If she'd shown up in designer gear then she might've been accused of spending too much!

I don’t find it odd that she was happy to leave her baby in the care of her father and/or maybe her mother and certainly a very capable nanny. It’s what, a few days away? I don’t see anything wrong with it, either.

Sigh *his (Archie’s) father, and her mother (as in Doria).

Now if she'd left Archie in the care of her father then that would be a story and a half!

Heh yes I thought I’d better correct that quick-sharp! 😆😆

I couldn’t have left a four month old baby for a day never mind a weekend, but each to their own...

Yes quite. Each to their own. No judgement at all from me - for some people motherhood is one aspect of one’s personhood and identity. and one doesn’t necessarily have to be utterly consumed and subsumed by it.

Ffs she's now being blamed for Serena losing in certain newspapers. They're ridiculous.

I prefer a 'proper' belt on a dress as I don't suit those kinds. I think she looks beautiful.

God, I could have, and did.

Four month olds are extremely boring; add in the sleep regression thing and the fact that they have a nanny? Fuck yes.

How do we know she left her 4 month baby for the weekend? Maybe he was 20 minutes away in a hotel?
