Royal style: the Duel of the Duchesses

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

What will tomorrow bring for Kate? Does her love for green know no end?

And Thursday night sees the return of Meghan! I know she can be polarising so let's stick to just discussing her clothes rather than the intricacies of Megxit. There's plenty of other threads to do that!

@paradyning it was resting but a regular brought it back up.
It was only yesterday I brought it up not days ago by the way.

Oh we also had days of shredding Kate while she was in Ireland but nobody was told to give that a rest.

Such hypocrisy on this thread.

If you have a root around on you tube MM before PH was on the horizon was interviewed a lot and did some pieces on Toronto. She style was lovely back then. I do get serious shoe envy when I see some of her shoes.

I would also point out, no-one ever likes the bags they choose for an event. Funny women love bags but not each others.

See, I didn’t mind her red shoes and bag with that dress. I think that black would have perhaps made the red look a bit too garish, and gold would have looked way too matchy matchy with Harry. Having the accessories blend in with the dress meant the dress was the centre of attention, imo, rather than having other things to compete with it.

Re Catherine being a literal/national colours dresser Meghan wore blue, white then red..

allibaby, Elspeth, Drina - whenever I see these names, I just know there will be a criticism of Meghan in some shape or form in the posts.

It’s easier to skip over the posts than try to respond to them. There is a hate Meghan thread somewhere on the board that would love to read them though.

So she did!

Didn`t they back in the day have their shoes dyed to match outfits.

Indeed we can all agree the double breasted suits are bad can I tag on the fleeces William is so attached to at the moment?

And Bea’s fiancés brown loafers too please.

Tbh it's not Edo's feet that I notice

Re Catherine being a literal/national colours dresser Meghan wore blue, white then red.

Maybe she thought she was in France...

Joke - promise

@LittleBearPad How DARE you, take your sense of humour and GO

Little Bear nahhh she was reminding us she's American

Can those who are derailing this thread please stop? Any future negative comments that ought be pulled up, should be challenged.

Can we also please stop taking quotes out of context or using just one word from them and then repeating them again and again?

Can we not reply to those who ignore these guidelines?

But the US is the wrong way round.

Must be the UK. If there a dragon on her outfit tomorrow we’ll know for certain 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Ever get the feeling you are being watched 👀

His face @beanaseireann, his face! He's a very handsome man.

He’s a lovely looking man. But the shoes would have to go.

Brown suede loafers with a purple monogram.

There are no words.

@theschoolonthehill
Show me one comment where I have said anything negative about Meghan?

Oh that's right you can't because unlike some I don't sit all day bitching about other women I don't know on a public forum.
I actually don't know either Meghan or Kate but all I can say is that both seem like nice women from what I have seen.

Oh and this is a public forum where if you make public uncalled for nasty comments then it's not unreasonable to expect to be publicly pulled up on it.

I'm trying to upload a photo of Charlene from today, but it won't post. Not sure why, I'll keep trying. She's wearing a rather nice poncho-type coat which looks burgundy in some pics and plum in others.

I’ve been having a few photo issues too, weird.

Not sure what I think of the neckline on the top, in some photos I like it, and in others less so. I think you could end up looking like you had a rather scrawny neck if you weren’t careful. Like the blocky heels though and the cropped trousers.

@thisenglishlife
It's not derailing the thread or trolling or anything else you want to call it to respond to posters.
It was actually @frugalkitty (I think, sorry if I've got posters mixed up) who brought it back up this evening.

Some pics of Steph too

Quite a lovely maternity blouse she's sporting.

Spudlet you beat me to it, I was trying to load the pics of Leti too, but at least I know it's not just me having trouble with photos. Thought it might be something to do with our internet for a bit there which was worrying as DH is away and I no nothing rely on his superior tech knowledge when it comes to such things.

Agree about the blocky heels, for those who felt Meghan's heels weren't right in the school visit photos, a similar blocky heel to the ones Leti had on might have been an alternative option to the flats someone suggested.

Leti looking great there. If anyone even marginally bigger than leti tried to wear that top it would be matronly and awful. On her it somehow looks both appropriate and cool. (Wrong word buy I hope yswim)
