Daily Mail thinks it has evidence. Let's discuss.

The doc only came out that day though, didn’t it? I would think they’d all have their clothes picked out in advance.

I suppose that's even better then and shows that Meghan was making it up?!

Despite everything I am shocked at how much hate Megan still gets.

I don’t see that as hate more taking the piss . Unfortunately for Meghan she has been photographed wearing bright yellow, purple , red not to mention the hideous green thing she wore at the Commonwealth Service..

ChicCroissant · 21/12/2022 13:28

I assumed that the outfits were co-ordinated, but well in advance of the event (and before Meghan's claim about outfits and colours). A few of the Royals wore green for Philip's memorial service as it was his favourite colour - co-ordination along those lines.

They did wear a different colour to the senior royals (Charles and Camilla). As for the Yorks, I think one of them may be concealing a bump just now.

SnowAndIceLobelia · 21/12/2022 13:28

Oh I liked the green thing.

Wow.... this royal stuff is obsession for some of you.

If they did orchestrate it then it's a bit pointless seeings as the Queen wasn't there. If she were still alive and had elected to wear burgundy you can bet your life they wouldn't have all been in burgundy too

You...you do know that Camilla is queen now though, do you?

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 21/12/2022 13:36

It seems intentional.

Meghan is a liar as she did wear colours before Meghsit (whatever the term was!) - a green dress off the top of my head. It’s like she thinks people are stupid and don’t notice what she wore (it was on most newspapers daily too).

Georgeskitchen · 21/12/2022 13:37

I was led to believe that Her Majesty always wore very bright colours when out on public occasions so she could easily be seen by her protection officers.
Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong?😃

vera99 · 21/12/2022 13:37

They are obsessed with Meghan. The coordinated burgundy outfits scream “clique”.

Also, it’s telling that both Beatrice and Eugenie aren’t indulging Kate and joining in their mean girl reindeer games. Good for them!

In the 8 December episodes she says she “rarely wore colour” and chose “camel, beige, white” among other neutral tones.

In the 15 December episodes, she says she wore colour for their final week of engagements, after the announcement they were leaving. Many of the times she’s been photographed wearing colour were for that “farewell tour”, including the green number – plus red, turquoise: www.insider.com/meghan-markle-rainbow-outfits-last-week-as-working-royal-photos-2022-12?amp

Dunno when she wore yellow or purple but she never states that she never wore colour, simply that she rarely did. And looking at the photos of her time as a working royal, pre-Megxit announcement, that checks out. I even recall at the time thinking she dressed very blah and being disappointed with some of the choices (I was a fashion journalist at the time and all the beige, pinky-beige and taupe didn’t give our art desk a lot to work with).

Yep why blatantly lie and say like you were told or decided to wear sackcloth and ashes eg muted colours.

She’s a total attention seeking piece of work. And I liked her before.

I'm not an expert on this at all but can refute you there - the controversial green thing was actually worn on their Goodbye Britain tour back in March 2020. This was the set of events where meghan just wore what she wanted and didn't give a shit anymore. She was literally going 'Fuck you all, I'm getting out of here as fast as I can and I'm going to dress in all the colours I can find'.

I know this because I binge watched the Netflix thing last night for my sins. 🥴

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 21/12/2022 13:42

Also, I don't know if the burgundy thing is a dog but if it is, it's a bit lame in a year 9 girls kind of way.

PeaceJoySleep · 21/12/2022 13:42

Maybe. Her sister pippa is irrelevant, she can wear what she likes. Only zara wore the same colour I think

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 21/12/2022 13:43

dig not dog.

She didn’t say she was told, she said it was her understanding.

She went on to say she aimed to wear colours she thought the family might not wear: camel, beige, white, and that her aim was to blend in.

Why are you lying about what she said?

Camilla for all intents and purposes is the queen.

and Eugenia and Beatrice would never be involved, they are very close to harry, but more than that, too many and it looks stupid . It needs to be subtle.

Coxspurplepippin · 21/12/2022 13:47

What about Carole Middleton, she was wearing green, so was she not supporting her daughter? Or could it just be that 3 women wore coats in a similar wintery shade to a carol concert?

There's plenty pictures of events where members of the royal family are wearing similar colours. The Queen and Kate both wore pale blue at Ascot one year, Camilla and the Queen both wore green. Sarah Chatto, Zara Tindall and Sophie Wessex all in white. Maybe they didn't get the memo.
Many wore green to Prince Philip's memorial including the Queen, Camilla and Princess Anne.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 21/12/2022 13:47

'Let's all wear matching coats'

Oh such japes!

What thrilling company they must all be.

Wisteriaroundthedoor · 21/12/2022 13:49

I’m curious as to why some posters appear desperate to think that it couldn’t be deliberate and they turned up wearing the exact same colour clothes and Same colour ties by coincidence straight after Meghan said she thought she wasn’t allowed to wear the same colour as senior royals.

if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, the odds are it is not a horse.

How lovely that Kate has something positive and constructive to do with her time.

Carole isn't a senior royal.

caringcarer · 21/12/2022 13:52

Catherine and Charlotte often coordinate their dress but Zara is a junior royal and she joined in also Philippa isn't even a royal and she joined in. Just debunked Meghan's words as more lies without saying a word.

You...you do know that Camilla is queen now though, do you?

Is she? I thought that Charles was the monarch now and Camilla was queen consort.

And she wasn't even wearing burgundy, so I'm not sure what your point is
