In response to PPs, I too think Meghan's pregnant again. The giveaway is the leather skirt - slightly too big - and tucked in blouse combo. Last wheeled out when she was in the early stages of pregnancy.

DevonUkelele · 07/11/2019 23:48

Gee... that coat looks like a dressing gown on the model too. What hope for us mere mortals, if we were to wear it?

I quite like the velvet hat though.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 08/11/2019 00:01

I agree with a PP who said it’s status and position that can up someone’s level of beauty and attractiveness, however even if Meghan was a complete nobody pushing around a trolley in Sainsburys doing the weekly shop, I would certainly think she was a stunning looking woman, she is definitely a head turner famous or otherwise.

thisenglishlife I agree about KM's hair colour - needs to be darker, lighter hair washes her face out.

EnFinale · 08/11/2019 00:24

@FATEdestiny a small amount of warmth, to prevent chin rub, to prevent shoes chafing or feet blistering, to make the legs look smoother, to give a more polished look to the outfit.

EnFinale · 08/11/2019 00:24

Chub rub

Maybe if Meghan is pregnant again; that would explain the robust attack against the press. She probably doesn’t want to have a 2nd stressful pregnancy.

Looking at the coffee morning pics, I really wish she would chop 6 inches off her hair. It just overwhelms her face and upper body.

Grin You'd have to pull your tights up a very looooong way Grin

Crikey, hats off to Meghan if she is pregnant again. Not much of a gap there. I hope they keep it to themselves for a lot longer this time, if they can, and that it goes as smoothly.

I really don't see W&K having a fourth. She looks as though she's really enjoying life just as it is. And why put yourself through the misery of HG?

queenofarles · 08/11/2019 09:02

I might be in the minority but yesterday’s makeup and hair was very OTT, you can visibly see eyelash glue in some of the pictures , the hair was just too messy a simple updo would have been more elegant,

BertrandRussell · 08/11/2019 09:04

As I’ve said before- Meghan and Kate both remind me of the times when my dd’s hair drove me mad and I insisted she let me plait it!

QueenOfTheAndals · 08/11/2019 09:05

You'd think Meghan would go for expensive eyelash extensions, not the kind you stick on with glue.

I don't think we'd be seeing Kate out and about so much if she was pregnant, unless someone's invented a miracle cure for HG.

I don’t think either duchess is pregnant! God, can you imagine how awful to read constant speculation that you’re pregnant because of a teeny tiny tummy bulge or to know everyone thinks you look puffy and tired?? Because the kids have apparently kept you up at night? Such wild speculation! Grin

queenofarles · 08/11/2019 09:23

Queen there are some good falsies, you can see it here, it’s quite noticeable, also her hair looks like there is quite a lot of it here.
She is prettier with less makeup.

Royal style: it's leather skirt season!
escapade1234 · 08/11/2019 09:25

queenofarles well I agree with you. The entire look was so overdone and distracting. The massive tumbling hair curls (what’s that all about?) and sultry makeup - all very glamorous for an awards do or something - not a remembrance service.

That coat is the worst thing I’ve seen on her.

The hair should have been up in a chignon the way she used to have it. Keep the hat because it was cute. Plain and black or navy coat and keep the boots to add interest but only if the coat is very plain.

That teddy dressing gown thing should be burnt.

SunsetBoulevard3 · 08/11/2019 09:28

I think in the interview with Tom Bradby she looks very ordinary . Lots of skilfully applied make up etc does ramp up her appearance, but without make up i reckon she probably looks fairly unremarkable. I think her hair is too long and the eyelash extensions are tacky. Perhaps she's trying to do a Kate, or use it to hide behind. She looks more polished with her hair up.
I think her outfit at the coffee morning is a bit strange but she looks happy and engaged.
Don't think Kate will have another pregnancy, and you would think M would want to wait for a bit to be pregnant again with all the stress she is under. On the other hand age isn't on her side and they probably want siblings close together.

On the royal IG feed there are commenters criticising Meghan for looking sad/serious. It's a Remenbrance event!

I do hope they have another child, Archie is so adorable and having two dcs close in age is great.

BlingLoving · 08/11/2019 10:07

Personally I think both Kate and Meghan need to lop a few inches off their hair. It's too long and when loose just overwhelms. It's very much the thing these days though. I had my hair cut the other day and asked to go back to a slightly shorter style (it's been hovering a few inches less than Kate for a while now and now it's just on my shoulders) and my hairdresser was horrified. She felt the longer hair was more glamourous blah blah blah. I want it to be softer, silkier and a bit more movement without having to do a huge blow dry that turns my hair into an event! Grin.

BertrandRussell · 08/11/2019 10:18

“ On the royal IG feed there are commenters criticising Meghan for looking sad/serious. ”

And on here she has been criticised for looking too glamorous.Grin

bohemia14 · 08/11/2019 10:21

I'm not a Meghan fan but I think she is incredibly beautiful. I didn't like her outfit yesterday at all.

tinyteece01 · 08/11/2019 10:41

No wedding ring for William.

tinyteece01 · 08/11/2019 10:48

@queenofarles

Queen there are some good falsies, you can see it here...

Yes these are OTT - definitely not necessary at all. Extensions of any sort are a bit Confused
