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!

W&K standing closer to C&C but H&M scuttled off quickly

Now lets see where they sit and how that goes

Kate's coat is very familiar I'm fairly sure we have seen that before the hat I haven't though Kate's hair looks lovely.

Harry is very thin on top now isn't he. He seems to be more like prince Philip the older he gets.

so.....a brief awkward hello between Meghan and William. Meghan looked uncomfortable. No "hello" between the brothers although Harry smiled I think.

No acknowledgement between Meghan or Kate.

H&M not sitting next to or directly behind W&K

Cordial greetings were exchanged and M&H deep in chatter with Edward. Oh to be a lip reader...

Kate is in this dress from a Christmas day I think.

Kate looks fabulous.

Something odd going on with the back of Meghan’s dress.

Love the Queen’s cornflower blue.

I thought Kate and Meghan smiled at each other.

The women all look amazing! Harry's suit doesn't fit brilliantly.

Love the green of Meghan's ensemble. Like how MM in green and KM in red

I'm a lipreader. And my friend does the "official" lipreading for royal events for the newspapers.

I've probably outed myself now.

Edward asked about the baby I think and Meghan said Hello to William.

I thought they did too @mrscampbellblackagain but I guess people will see what they want to see.

Love Sophie's blue and white.

Meghan's hat is something else! Amazing!

I'm not in UK so relying on twitter for my pictures so off to look for the rest!

I like the colour on Meghan, but really not a fan of this cape thing choking her. It looks like the wind has blown it off and she's not bothered to fix it. I don't think she looks pregnant though. Just not a very flattering fit

I bet this commonwealth service gets the highest ratings ever

I have always thought Kate and Meghan are probably perfectly cordial just not best friends and caught up in a whole load of other stuff.

I thought everyone had a polite how are you chat like families do in church. Poor Queen having to stand for so long!

I don't think you can read to Much in to any greetings we have no idea if they requested to be separated or that's just the way it is. Right to left order of seniority the queen then Charles, Camilla, William Kate then on the next row it would be Harry, Meghan, Edward and Sophie so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought Harry and William did exchange a smile but it's hard to tell.

I think it's a dammed if you do dammed if you don't. A big hello shows it's the first time the brothers have seen each other and Harry and Meghan have been back a week? And not enough all the rumours will start again.

She's certainly going out with a bang, I assumed this was Givenchy but it's Emilia Wickstead. Harry though, does he not have another suit??

It’s a shame that’s Meghan’s final official outfit. Her clothes rarely fit but that one is truly awful. She has the same problem with her bra as with her wedding dress. Not sure if it’s the style or just too small but it’s all lumpy and bumpy.

I'm not very keen on Meghan's outfit. It's a lovely colour but she looks a bit trussed up.

Kate looks beautiful. The colour and shape are lovely on her.

Camilla is boot free they are not surgically attached

I'm so glad you've made a playful reference to this @itswinetime as I felt a bit told off for my jokes about the boots upthread!

Meghan looks nervous today. It must be a very poignant day for them all.

I really like Meghans outfit - surprised it is emilia wickstead as not general a fan of hers. But interesting choice of designer as there was some alleged snarking from her about MM's wedding dress - maybe Meghan's way of saying don't believe all you read.

Kate looks fab, would love to get an up close of her up do, it's looks lovely and complicated at the back.

Found this video and it definitely looks like they say hello to each other and sort of smile?

I really feel for her. She looks so nervous.

Enormous sparkly broach on the Queens coat
