More pictures of the jumpsuit (not on Meghan) but it's sold out.

It was reported as a last season jumpsuit, KillingMeDeftly. Meghan often picks styles (or colour ways of styles) from past seasons.

Jumpsuit looks good on MM. I had a quick look at her fellow speakers and she’s definitely star of the show. She’s so very star of the show she may feel she’s bestowing a lovely, grounded favour to Oprah.

Silvia, Victoria and Estelle at the Paralympics again.

Is that Estelle? She's so tall, when did that happen!

Gosh, she’s suddenly so tall!

I see Sarah Burton has been announced as the new creative director of Givenchy, with her first collection to be Spring 25. Interesting to see if the Princess of Wales becomes a Givenchy customer now as she looks to return to a public role in due course. I think Kate’s personal aesthetic is more Hubert de Givenchy than Alexander McQueen, generally, so it might be a better fit, brand wise, if she wants to continue working with Sarah!

SqueakyDinosaur · 09/09/2024 09:37

She tends to stick to UK-based designers, doesn't she?

I wonder how she feels about returning? I think she's guaranteed an enthusiastic welcome but it must still all feel pretty overwhelming. I always get the impression she puts up with the media attention, rather than enjoying it.

Here's Leti and Felipe attending his cousin's funeral. Leti looks very chic and appropriate in her favourite Carolina Herrera. I like her shoes. She doesn't often wear a necklace, but the pearls and earrings lift the outfit just enough.
Felipe looks sharp, as ever.

Queen Letizia Wears Somber Black at Funeral for King Felipe's Cousin

Letizia looks very appropriate.

I see she is wearing kitten heels which is a move on from the trainers, then sandals and block heels she has worn recently due to her foot issues. Perhaps her feet are recovering.

Maireas · 09/09/2024 11:11

I hope so, they're quite a slim fit. The dress is a rewear, and I like the flutter sleeves. Some volume without fussiness.

I like Leti's pearls.

Choux · 09/09/2024 16:45

Kate's new video is full of PDAs. Quite surprising from them as they rarely even hold hands in public. Anyway it's very slick and beautiful and most importantly she seems well and happy. Love the blue and white dress.

Eaumyword · 09/09/2024 16:12

I like Leti's pearls.

Apparently they date from 1846 and belonged to Isabella II, the last queen regnant of Spain.

QueryA · 09/09/2024 17:08

I was a bit surprised at the video of Kates. Like you say, lots more touchy feely then you normally see from the royals. I like both dresses that she wears in the video, though the cream one isn't what I would personally wear for a walk in the wood. The kids look lovely, in completely normal relatable clothes, and I love some of the scenes where she is hugging them. I wish her a swift recovery.

Thank you!

I like both of Kate’s dresses in the video. It’s a very different way of communicating by the RF and I like images of the family including Michael and Carole.

justasking111 · 09/09/2024 18:12

Wow that's moving. We'll be seeing a little more of Kate as she recovers. I suspect they've reassed their future as you do after an experience like this.

justasking111 · 09/09/2024 18:14

Leticia has lost weight, looking gaunt, most folks look rested after the summer holidays. I wonder how much pain those pesky feet have been giving her.

Maireas · 09/09/2024 18:18

A very touching video. They seem very happy and close. I'm glad she's on the mend. 🙏

Eaumyword · 09/09/2024 18:29

Kate looks fab as ever and I love her dresses.

gingercat02 · 09/09/2024 18:45

I'm glad to hear Kate has finished her chemo and will be out and about a little more. The video is a bit too insta for me, but I'm 10 years older than the Wales' and I get the need to appeal to the younger generation.
It's very "normal" for a royal communication, which is nice

Papergirl1968 · 09/09/2024 20:19

Letizia on an engagement today and a couple of stills from Kate’s video.
I do love the white and green dress even though it had vibes of Little House on the Prairie in some of the soft focus shots of her wandering through the fields.

I think rewears from Leti, although the low block heels maybe new. I like Kate's shorter blue dress, I thought it was nice and informal.

Evening all

I really love that video. My mum is currently going through treatment and is struggling with not feeling strong enough to do all the things she used to.

Maireas · 09/09/2024 20:28

Evening, @locketrocket . I'm sorry to hear about your Mum, and hope it goes well for her 🙏.
My sister is going through it too, and it's been rough.
So many families and friends impacted.💕
