Royal style: the Sussexes in Africa - it's gonna take a lot to drag us away from them...

Tour itinerary

As always, let's critique the clothes and not the wearers.

I guess it’s like everything Royals do with their patronage’s; they raise awareness which I think can only be a good thing.
Who’d heard of smartworks ( as an example) prior to Meghan.?

My Fave Royal couple; Mette Marit and HottieHaakon. more adorable photos here

That's true but doing it in the U.K. is different as that's their back yard! Anyway, I'm sure Meghan and Sophie both mean well and it's not like either of them haven't previously expressed a commitment to women's rights.

Metre-Marit looks really well and HH looks great for a guy who spends most of his time in @frugalkitty's airing cupboard! I never really rated him before but he's getting better looking with age. Definitely up there with HCP and SFF on my Royal Totty list I could probably find a space on it for CPF too if I had to...

However that red ribbon is a tad odd !

The ribbon makes me wonder if she's trying to hide any scars from "work"!!

Thanks for the new thread Queen (this phrase now comes up in predictive text ).

And thanks to those who filled me in on whi Misha is.

CPV's is-it-silver-is-it-blue number is a rare CPV evening fail for me.

The silver is a bit short.

Fergies red ribbon is ridiculous looking. Maybe she'd done a box dye and was trying to cover bits that had gone wrong.

CPV's dress reminds me a little of those chemises women wear under their dresses in Victorian dramas on the BBC. I think it's the neckline that does it.

Never got the appeal of Haakon, King Felipe on the other hand is a total dreamboat.

H&M will visit a township straight after landing in CP. will Meghan address the issue there? Very sensitive topic to talk about in a township.

Mette-Marit looks well. Loving her ring too. Big old diamonds there

Weren't William and Kate meant to be launching a polar exploration boat on Thursday just gone? Did I dream that?

I read that.

You didn't imagine it @MilleniumHallsWalledGarden, that's this coming Thursday.

It's next Thursday Millennium, my mum is going to see if she can see them!

W&K are also going to a Pakistani cultural event at the Aga Khan Centre on 2 October and their trip to Pakistan has been confirmed as 14-18 Oct.

Oh, it's next week. Thank you :)

“And I'm a bit hmm at royal women going to Africa and giving speeches about it when there will be many African women who've been working hard in this field for years and years.”
I agree. I’ll reserve judgement til I read what she says.

Ha, excellent title Queen! 🙂

I liked the glimpse of Meghan's dress, was it Valentino? I liked the bit of softness to her hair style too.

The Trump dress didn't quite work, too much fussy additions around the neckline, she should have been brave with a pair of scissors!

Don't like Fergie's look, that black bin bag look rarely works, but good for her for keeping busy in adversity.

Well if Meghan and Harry raise oodles of money that does not get siphoned off I will be happy. A friend of mine works at Senebale has done for years Harry has done a lot of good there.

I know how to look after a man, Queen .....inside or outside an airing cupboard!

Why not call it what it is? Violence against women.

I agree. But I disagree that people should perhaps refrain from addressing it in countries other then their own. It's everyone's business, especially every woman's business.

Thank you for the new thread Queen

I’m not sure yet how I feel about it; OC sounds a bit like a parody; but I like her wit. Claire Foy was all about the emotion and the vulnerability. I’m sure it will be great, but HM in middle age is going to be a tough act to follow.
