More style, beauty, shoe vexation and hair concerns...

Leti looks fab there and I like Anne and HMQ outfits too.

The Daily Mail has an article on how to get toned arms like Kate and Leti. I don't know how to link but here's a pic!

That headline - "fishwife"! And they've chosen an unflattering photo of Kate so that they get the commenters all riled up 🙄

I don't like Kate or Leti's arms actually. I don't know how they look in real life but in photos they look too scrawny.

She does look great! Fab outfit such a great figure, and virtually no makeup!!! Only criticism would be the shoes, which look a bit sensible and boring but she's 71!

I watched the Camilla programme, which was more interesting than I thought it would be. Her guest editorship for Country Life focused on the Brixton pony club, the war veteran artist, domestic abuse. She said "rural life isn't all buttercups and daisies, there is a dark side, too".

@Papergirl1968
I have to disagree with you.
I think Leti and Kate's toned arms are awesome.
So much nicer than my bingo wings

@Maireas I'll have to watch it on catch-up then! Thought it might be quite dull, but interested now based on what you say.

@Papergirl1968 @LadyEloise1 My 2p is I really don't find muscular arms attractive on women. I agree that that particular photo of Kate will have been chosen for the angle though - her arms don't look like that when she has them down at her side.

Don't want to stray further into making personal comments though, so I'll shut up now!

Yes, don't be put off by "Country Life". It all starts very anodyne, but her interests are wide. She's sponsoring an artist who lost both legs on active service in Afghanistan, and admires his courage and determination. I didn't know about the Ebony Pony Club in Brixton, and what a difference that has made. Nor the Bobby Van etc. All really laudable.

Leti and Kate are #armgoals for me but I've admired that look ever since seeing Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 as a kid in the 90s!

I think their arms look great.

They're both lean and toned everywhere.. through a lot of hard work I imagine. I take my hat off to them and think they look fab

I worked out for years in the hope of getting arms like that but no such luck. What did help was having a Velcro baby on the 98th percentile! Lugging him around did wonders for the muscle definition in my arms!!

TBF, if I had a gym in my house, a personal trainer and a live in babysitter/nanny I'd look a lot more like that than I look like me now.

Leonor and Sofia looking absolutely spot-on yesterday at the Denmark-Spain game. Right for their age, but still special and formal enough to mark them out as royal visitors. Looks like they had fun too!

I especially like the floral shirt and navy trousers combo.

I can't do links but H&M are at the UN.
Meghan in black skirt and top. Hair pared back. Nice Mulberry bag.

Here's The Mirror article. Meghan looks very chic in black Givenchy, slim top and pencil skirt. High heels, Mulberry bag. She looks good, very tanned (maybe a holiday?). Although I do find that scraped back hair a bit severe.
Chic overall, though.

I like her outfit - she has worn that skirt before? Or has it in another colour? Either way it’s a chic outfit, I agree.

I agree the hair is too severe; I don't like it.

Outfit is chic but i don't like all black.

Would love to know what she needs that big bag for.

Found it - in forest green in Northern Island. I prefer the green - that was a great look on her, from head to toe - but today’s look is also good.

Love the fact that a boy who only
Scraped through a couple of GCSEs and A levels is now giving a speech to the UN! 😮

I prefer the green too but can't fault her ensemble today. It's sleek and elegant and she's got the proportions right.

Yes, I prefer the forest green. Anyway, I think this is a silhouette that really suits Meghan, very pared down and monochrome.

Thank you for the photos @Maireas and @Serenstar.

I too don't like the severe hair style.

I also think, wearing a $1590 skirt and an expensive designer bag to a UN General Assembly where your dh is giving a speech to delegates on climate change and poverty, is not very empathetic.
Meghan would look good in a black sack or a skirt from H&M. She doesn't need expensive clothes to look fabulous.
