Royal style: we want more salwars and we're not sari about it!

I like Meg's Hugo Boss skirt and the jumper, but I don't think the shades work well together. I'd like to see the skirt with a pearly pinkish grey silk blouse. The skirt is a nice fit!
I like her hair up, but those droopy loops that she has to keep tucking behind her ears are just silly.

Harry looks like a second hand car salesman in that suit!

For the record, I love the neckline. It's low, but not at all inappropriate. Very flattering.

Oh god- Harry’s socks are too short! I know I keep saying it, but he needs to sack his valet. Or get one if he hasn’t got one.

I have just finished watching Mad Men and thought the same when I saw her outfit. This is the look that suits her. She was well dressed in Suits too.

Nope, don't like it. The top's too low, the skirt's too tight, and doesn't match. I love the berry colour, but it looks badly put together as a look.
And I have absolutely no issue with her carrying extra weight but leather stretched over a baby tummy is not attractive.

Actually looking again it's the waist that is too tight and creating a bulge.

I think a silk blouse would have been better, but it’s cold so a jumper is more practical.

I liked her little speechy bit at the table - serious, and well considered but she was quite funny too.

She always preps really well and speaks wonderfully - with research shown. I remember KM doing a quick speech at one of her garden projects this year, a really basic thank kind of one... and she looked at her notes every other word.

I love listening to her speak. It's clear she's putting the work in.

Thanks @itswinetime That looks like the one, and even if not, I like it!

I love what’s she’s wearing.

To be fair though she speaks well because that’s her training.

One of my dc is an aspiring actor. At my fils funeral the grandchildren all spoke. My dc knocked everyone else out of the water with how they spoke including my other dc.

Meghab had the skills as a child - did she have actor training at that time? It doesn't necessarily make you a good speaker, writer and improviser.

There's a YouTube video of a young Kate acting and singing (My Fair Lady??) - she was confident (and quite good).

One of the things that surprises me about the rf is how crap they all are at public speaking. Generally speaking private schools are really good at teaching that sort of thing.

Meghan's an excellent public speaker and I don't think it's solely down to her acting training. She manages to sound sincere as well as knowledgeable about her topic, which can be tricky to master.

It's the DM but interesting article about Meghan rewarding her clothes, ditching jewellery and wearing inexpensive frocks to be more relatable.
I bet she reads these threads. It's all the things we've discussed in the last year.

Rewearing, not rewarding

Exactly. My ds is great on his feet and it has taken him a long way. It's definitely a skill worth mastering and not everyone can do it.

They aren't, you know.

Call me cynical but that DM article says to me, "'course we love Meghan, M'lud, look at all these lovely things we've been saying about her".

“ Generally speaking in my experience private schools are really good at teaching that sort of thing”

They aren't, you know.

Of course she could've been intending to rewear her clothes all along but pregnancy prevented her from doing it until now!

Love the colours on MM today but agree that they don't quite go together.

Re the Prince Charles doc, was it a new one? I'm sure I saw one not long ago that had him discussing his 'work'.

I like Meghan's outfit today except the mismatch of reds. The jumper is a lovely berry shade which has photographed really well, but the skirt is just a bit off. I agree that she's an excellent public speaker, I think the difference between her and Kate is confidence, Meghan already has it, Kate took a long while to find hers.

It was the generally speaking bit that through me. My experience is different from yours then Bert

I think that KM doesn't practice/learn her speechs fully. Does someone else write them? I'm not criticising, it's just what I would guess. Maybe I'm wrong and she gets nervous speaking in public.
