Recently spotted at a TSwift (allegedly), Barbie movie for her birthday, a restaurant, and then hanging out with friends in an Instagram selfie. She looks phenomenal in this photo!

Glad to see she's enjoying her life back home with her family.

I liked she teamed it with the gladiator flats and the casual up do, she looked fab.

Me too!

It’s frustrating that the rules are not consistently applied. Last time it was me reacting to something overtly racist which was subsequently deleted. But my posts were left up and I was attacked because people couldn’t see how offensive what I was responding to was, and I was threatened with mass-reporting when I provided the context to defend myself. On the other hand, if they’re deleted you look guilty too. I think the rules need to be applied more consistently, and if something is deleted for breaking the rules then replies to it should be hidden (so that people who reacted to something upsetting are not then open to further abuse).

Indeed!

Is there any woman in public life who does not have botox?

Largely becasue of this type of thing - a simple photo - but botox/ but filters/but 10 years old/but melanin/but - what was yours again? Boat loads of plastic surgery?

FFS - three women having a glass to say "happy birthday" turns into a sneery, bitter, misogynistic fest.

Leave her alone?

MillWood85 · 16/08/2023 18:34

She is a very beautiful woman.

I just find her desperation for attention a little wearing.

How so @MillWood85 ?

@ILikeDinosaurs - ok then after plastic surgery and Botox she looks like a normal person in this photo - like anyone may be friends with, not a 'stunning' or 'beautiful' shell (I won't say person as those who are worldly wise realise beauty and stunning looks are just a mask)... is that clearer?!

Ooo@FloofCloud you are very clear indeed.

Always are.

debbrianna · 17/08/2023 13:45

Looking young/younger because of minimal make-up. You can easily see that.

AliceOlive · 17/08/2023 13:59

@IamSTARVING You won't get anywhere engaging with a person that goes after any woman's looks. It is very sad and really does not come from a healthy place.

I agree entirely.

You know @AliceOlive , I did not care one way or the other about these two until the legal cases came up. I got "involved" that way (someone I know was on the wrong end of a tabloid story, and I saw up close how nasty it can be).

The hatefull campaign against the Sussex family is so consistent and so egregious I like to get invloved.

The picking apart of her looks is actually great in a way - it really highlights the irrational (or paid?) side of it.

I mean - however you slice it and dice it - she is a photogenic, pretty (for some) beautiful (for others) woman.

PrincessTigger · 17/08/2023 14:10

I don’t think people who get cosmetic surgery should be criticised… criticise the society that doesn’t value women when they age!

AliceOlive · 17/08/2023 14:53

@IamSTARVING The posts in this thread about her looks were just vitriolic. But also only from two posters? Mostly it was complimentary but that gets lost because those two kept posting and posting every time someone challenged them.

@queentim - poor attempt at trying to turn a negative into a positive

Not that this attempted derail has anything to do with the thread topic anyway.

Except it is a positive. I don't think them being viewed as no longer caring about the UK at all is a negative. They seem a hell of a lot happier. And winning their court cases is a positive. So win win win all around.

The only people who care seem to be those who are bitter they left, claim to despise them, but spend a disproportionate amount of time stalking their every move.

Meghan does seem to be enjoying the California weather and sun again.

I saw on insta a recent snap of her at a resto wearing a white tank she wore to Germany with Harry, she looked great.

I enjoy her going back to her easy Cali style

I find her “easy Cali style” pretty dull. I prefer her wealthy European “MaxMara coat with an Hermes scarf, Chanel shoes and Goyard bag” looks. But each to their own. 😀 She always looks beautiful, in my opinion.

l. I prefer her wealthy European “MaxMara coat with an Hermes scarf, Chanel shoes and Goyard bag” looks. But each to their own. 😀 She always looks beautiful, in my opinion. that’s my usual look 😂,
I own all these items , except the goyard! Too plasticky for me.

MrsFiddle · 18/08/2023 23:15

Has she had cosmetic surgery?

asterdaisy · 18/08/2023 23:24

Most brown and black women look younger than white women. It is the natural protection from the sun.

MrsFiddle · 18/08/2023 23:37

That photo is current as just read an article about her not wearing her engagement ring anymore and that photo is referenced 💍

Princessfluffy · 26/08/2023 19:51

Princess Meg always looks so kind and clever and beautiful in photographs, like a true Disney Princess.

Such a perfect role model for other women in middle age.

I am sure that she has spent a long time studying Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth and Princess Kate and it has really paid off. No wonder Prince Harry is so smitten! America finally has its own RF.

MrsFiddle · 26/08/2023 20:10

Looks like we are going to be seeing more of her if the instagram stories are true.

Princessfluffy · 26/08/2023 20:22

Spreading joy and happiness and humanity around Instagram

So she’ll be going back to being an Instagram influencer. It would be interesting to see her compete with the likes of Kim Kardashian, who has 350 million followers and gets paid a million per post.

AliceOlive · 27/08/2023 04:17

Instagram is a competition?
