Charles and Camilla in Penzance today.
Charles looking exceedingly dapper in that suit.

Nice pale blue on Cams. The parasol is a good idea

I love the parasol! They both manage to look nicely cool when they must have been baking.

I'm pretty sure Meghan isn't the first person to wear expensive clothes to the UN.

KillingMeDeftly · 18/07/2022 20:43

That's a bit of a paltry parasol Camilla has there. Looks like she's borrowed it from on Charlotte!

Indeed @Serenster. Eternal birthday girl CPM too, Letizia, the list goes on!

"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."

Yes, there is that 😬😂

annunciataz · 18/07/2022 22:48

Do the UN clothes budget rules apply to just Meghan or the other royals mentioned upthread too? I've never noticed anyone comment on Maxima or Mary wearing designer gear to the UN and Mary especially loves her brands!

Eaumyword · 18/07/2022 23:05

I do agree, @LadyEloise1.
I think she looks polished and really suits the black outfit but like pp have mentioned, maybe her hair is too severe. I think she suits a soft low chignon best.

Gooseysgirl · 19/07/2022 00:03

I think she looked fab! She was there to support Harry and I expect wore black so as not to detract from him. But I agree the outfit in green is nicer!

paradyning · 19/07/2022 06:10

The Meghan green was one of my favourite looks. I like it in black too!
I suspect that a comparatively cheap UN outfit. Have you seen what Amal Clooney wears?

gluenotsoup · 19/07/2022 10:21

I like the outfit, it suits her. I agree the hairstyle is a little severe, but she carries it well. Harry could crack a smile though.

gluenotsoup · 19/07/2022 10:30

Meghan was also pictured later in the day at a restaurant with Harry. She looks great in the trouser suit, very similar to Kate’s Top Gun dress. My only criticism is it looks like it’s pulled up too high at the front, and Harry looks under dressed, he should have scrubbed up a bit more , he’s showing her up!
Also seen with GS, I’m less keen on this. I like the shirt, shoes and bag, but not with the shorts. And not shorts with heels. I had a couple of pairs of tailored shorts very similar about 15 years ago when they were fashionable, but wouldn’t go there again. 🙂

It is very similar to Kate's dress!
I really like the shirt and shorts but I agree that they don't look good with those spikey high heels.

MrsOwainGlyndŵr · 19/07/2022 13:37

Shorts with heeels is a definite no from me.

dolphinsarentcommon · 19/07/2022 13:46

I don't really like any of her outfits BUT I recognise it's just not my style and is obviously hers, and she pulls it off well

I also like how she wears what she wants (the shorts with heels) with little regard to fashion.

Eaumyword · 19/07/2022 15:09

I like each of those looks on Meghan. Don't like spiky heels with shorts normally, but I think it works here.
I like the black/white contrast to the top of the jumpsuit (think it is a jumpsuit?)

Maireas · 19/07/2022 15:25

Yes, it's a jumpsuit - very similar to Kate's dress.

LadyVictoriaSponge · 19/07/2022 17:42

Agree with @dolphinsarentcommon. The tailored shorts and heels are part of her signature style, she wears it well, her legs are amazing.

gluenotsoup · 19/07/2022 17:47

Those two looks re shorts with heels work much better than the recent one. For some reason it just isn’t something I like, maybe the shorts are more formal than the previous looks. Personally, I would have put a chunkier, lower heel, maybe a wide strapped tan sandal. It’s a dressy shoe with office shorts for me.

Serenster · 19/07/2022 18:58

I love the colour palette of her shorts look, but there’s a lot of volume in the shorts and the shirt there. I think swamps her a bit.

I like the black jumpsuit she wore to the restaurant - Maxima has worn one very similar. I prefer the jumpsuit version of this look to the dress variant Kate wore, but I prefer Max’s over-arm white band. So it goes Max > Meghan > Kate in my personal “who wore it better?”

susiebluebell · 19/07/2022 19:13

Ohh, Maxima looks amazing in that!

KillingMeDeftly · 19/07/2022 19:44

Charlene and Albert have been to the Red Cross Ball but her dress looks like something she picked up at Coast. And his ensemble is an odd choice for a formal event 🤔

Maireas · 19/07/2022 19:46

Maxima does look fabulous! She wins!
I'm smiling about the Coast dress, Deftly, but you're not wrong!
Albert does love his white trousers, maybe it makes him feel nautical!
