I'm pretty sure Kate has nude tights on in that photo.

itswinetime · 07/01/2020 18:10

The argument that she was/would be cold with out tights is ridiculous. The sweat patches while unfortunate show she wasn't cold in the slightest.

Tights would have made no difference to the look of the outfit and I really don't think they are needed or that an outfit looks cheap without them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 07/01/2020 18:16

I thought she looked lovely.

She does look best with her hair up though, I think.

Josette77 · 07/01/2020 18:17

Kate has tights on in the photo, not that I think it matters.

The armpit stains are unfortunate, as is the wrinkled skirt. Harry and Meghan always look a bit sloppy to me. And the PDA is not appropriate for work. They get paid a lot of money to show up and act/look professional. Ironing clothes, not holding hands isn't hard to remedy.

FiveTwoFaster · 07/01/2020 18:20

I think the clothes probably were ironed but if they came from Frogmore it’s plenty of time to crush them again. If they had just come from KP you could just sit very carefully for a short time so as to not crush.

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 07/01/2020 18:25

Just reading the comments on the sussexroyal Instagram post.. some of them are sooooo divisive, there’s no need to be like that 🙄

paradyning · 07/01/2020 18:27

Come on. She needs serious respect. She's wearing a silky bias cut skirt so soon after having a baby. I was a few weeks before her and there is NO WAY I could wear that.
The skirt is very similar to the brown monstrosity Kate wore in the mountains during the Pakistan tour.

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 07/01/2020 18:30

I wonder if the hand-holding is because M is unsteady in the too-big shoes? Especially coming down steps.

QueenOfTheAndals · 07/01/2020 18:31

The coat might've been fine when she left in the morning. I'm now paranoid that my wedding dress will crease!!

It’s the jumper that ruins it. Very frumpy. Maybe a crisp white shirt ?

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 07/01/2020 18:34

Her make-up looks great, and I love the shoes. I like the coat. It’s a much better style for her than the huge belted ones she’s previously worn. I don’t mind the skirt. It’s not my favourite Meghan separate, but it’s OK.

For me the jumper is a huge fail. Everything about it seems wrong (including the colour). The arms are too short. It’s too tight in some places, yet too loose in others. The neckline is wrong - it makes her shoulders look huge.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 07/01/2020 18:43

Thanks for the new thread.

I guess we all sweat. But we don’t all have paps recording our sweat patches. Fergie has massive sweat patches for her daughters wedding. Don’t recall anyone commenting on her.

astralweaks · 07/01/2020 18:53

Kate is clearly wearing tights in the photograph posted.

frugalkitty · 07/01/2020 18:53

I've just had a good look through the photos in line and it wouldn't surprise me if she's had something done to her face while they were away. I can't put my finger on why she looks different, but in the close ups she does. Still beautiful, but a bit different. I wonder if she carried her coat on the way out to show how trim she is, to put a stop to the 'is she having another baby yet?' reporting that might have been the case otherwise. Still, I liked the coat, love the shoes, just not keen on the jumper and skirt combo. She looked radiant, I thought Harry looked a bit washed out today.

astralweaks · 07/01/2020 18:55

I have read similar about her having had work done.

astralweaks · 07/01/2020 18:57

Harry needs a buzz cut. Unlike his brother who didn’t suit it, I think he really would.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 07/01/2020 18:58

Just seen H&M on the news.
The handholding looked like an instinctive grab for reassurance from Meghan.
The skirt didn’t work for me. Wrong fabric and wrong shade of brown. She should have worn another pencil skirt. Tobacco leather or suede would have looked great with the camel,coat; polo neck & shoes.
Hair looked like she’d had quite a lot chopped off since Africa. I’m not a fan of her hair down for professional engagements; but I’ve seen it look worse.
I think Meghan was pretty nervous hence the sweat and hand holding. Unfortunate.

astralweaks · 07/01/2020 18:59

I can't put my finger on why she looks different, but in the close ups she does.

Her eyes are apparently “rounder”.

justasking111 · 07/01/2020 18:59

Like her false lashes they are really flattering.

TSSDNCOP · 07/01/2020 19:03

I like the outfit if I don’t examine it in minute detail if you see what I mean. The satin skirt is everywhere this Christmas, love the shoes. Feel sorry for her with the jumper, that’s the downside of a trip to H&M, thrifty but plastic.

MotherofPearl · 07/01/2020 19:15

@CurlyWurlyTwirly has it spot on - one of her leather pencil skirts would have looked far better with that polo neck, and more appropriate for the season. I don't think tights were necessary though.

When is your wedding @QueenOfTheAndals? Maybe you'll allow us a glimpse of the dress?

7Worfs · 07/01/2020 19:18

Are we starting a petition for @QueenOfTheAndals to have a tiara on loan for the wedding? For services to Royal Fashion etc Crown Grin

Queen do you have a favourite one?

QueenOfTheAndals · 07/01/2020 19:23

Zara's wedding tiara is my favourite but I'd settle for Meghan's or Eugenie's if HM would oblige...

Junie70 · 07/01/2020 19:26

I loved her shoes and the skirt...... just not a fan of the top, it was too sheer for cameras pointing at it!

She has really slimmed down since the Africa trip, thought she looks amazing for a new mum.

WineOrGinOrBoth · 07/01/2020 19:30

There were comments Dobby about Fergie. And also comments that she must have been told not to wave after the sweaty patches were spotted.
