Part 2 of a nice, unproblematic thread to discuss some of the fab outfits from the Duchess of Sussex, and some of the many great causes she (and Harry) and Archewell supports.

Back to the theme of the thread - loved the pared down look of the blazer/trousers combo - I think she looked amazing at the opening.

That type of outfit really suits her, she looks good

Yes, M does look very nice but wow H was in mid conversation with that man when M interrupted 😮 That’s rude.

Mytattooisbiggerthanyours · 10/11/2023 07:17

I’ve looked at the video @pilates and Meghan is in pure red carpet mode. Have you ever seen awards ceremonies when people are guided through exactly like that? It is how she’s been trained. As an actress she has to hit her marks, meet her cues and get her timings right. I’m sure if Big Suze and Freddie were more important we’d see similar.

She didn't interrupt. She wasn't the slightest bit rude. Everyone was stood waiting to carry on with the speech and cutting of the ribbon. She touched Harry's arm to indicate that. Crime of the century quite obviously!

Did you comment and call William rude when they were in Jordan and moving up a wedding line? I bet not.
Kate was mid talking for just a few seconds with the Bride Princess Rajwa and he moved over and said 'chop chop' and 'keep moving' whilst gesticulating to her to hurry her up. If you want to go down this route, I would call that rude!

Glad you think Meghan looked nice though, she really did. Her hair was very glossy.

@BethDuttonsTwin I am not sure why my posts were deleted. They were factual, about Archwell’s involvement with Aspen, and the hypocrisy of attending these events, when the very thing US veterans fought for is their target. I did also compliment Meghan on her clothing. No matter. It’s very telling when things like this happen.

Actual snort at this explanation 😁

Interesting. Once again, the actual veteran and the only reason the couple are invited hovers at the back looking miserable, while his wife -looking adorable in her pant suit, positively radiant, gorgeous glow, hair so glossy - gets the money shot. No need to usher Harry along, he was speaking to the actual host of the event, not needlessly dawdling, so everyone was not waiting, the host was not waiting and he was talking to the guest of honour.

pinkmont · 10/11/2023 07:38

I like the outfit, it was classy and she looked gorgeous.

I don't think they opened the navy fitness center though, from the video the ribbon cutting was done by someone else, the actual symbolic act of cutting the ribbon is the 'opening'. It seems they were invited to the opening and Harry to give a speech..

I know they garner a lot of clicks, as someone above says, but the majority of comments on anything about them is negative, so they bring an adverse aspect to things they are involved in.. To be fair, the US media have gone so much further with their skits and ridicule of them than any other media outlet has.

Also, there are often benefactor links attached to events they are invited to, rather than them being invited off their own accord.

Roussette · 10/11/2023 07:39

The contrast between this thread 'out and about' and Kate's is stark. Any excuse to criticise H&M. It's pathetic.

Meghan touched Harry's arm.. what a totally awful thing to do. Funnily enough I haven't seen any criticism of that dreadful thing to do anywhere but on this thread!

i wonder why that is

pinkmont · 10/11/2023 07:44

I think it may be because she does it repeatedly and unnecessariiy, its not a once off, now it has become one of those things you can't unsee and it stands out like a sore thumb,

BethDuttonsTwin · 10/11/2023 07:45

Yes, I read that the most recent event invite was the result of a sizeable donation.

People can't resist and woe betide there's a positive thread about M&H on MN.

Interestingly, even the Telegraph who have criticised them many a time, has written a nice article about their attendance at the West Coast Warrior Fitness facility. Very apt they were there, given Harry is a vet and Invictus of course.

Here is the article, I've archived it because it's behind a paywall, it's not a dodgy link!

Did you think William was rude too? Far far worse to interrupt Kate complimenting the bride on her dress with 'chop chop'... 'move on'... and hand signals.
Funnily enough, I didn't see any criticism of that rudeness on MN threads.

I wonder if it was from Archewell ? possibly from one of their very wealthy friends who are already financially supporting the organisation.

Absolutely it was rude and uncalled for, not only to Kate but also to the person she was talking to. I do remember criticism of it on here. and also posters making excuses for it.

I do have my standards Roussette 😘

Roussette · 10/11/2023 08:01

Thank you pinkmont I don't recall the criticism on here but that doesn't mean to say there wasn't any, I just can't remember

'To be fair, the US media have gone so much further with their skits and ridicule of them than any other media outlet has.'

Exactly! He's a figure of ridicule whichever country he is trying to be a VIP in due to his hypocrisy and petulance, yet strangely it's only ever the Evil British Tabloids that seem to get blamed for pointing out his shortcomings.

pinkmont · 10/11/2023 08:09

would it have something to do with this I wonder ?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle partied in Las Vegas with Wall Street billionaire Ken Griffin

The American billionaire Ken Griffin is in talks to help fund a transatlantic takeover bid for The Telegraph led by his fellow hedge fund manager Sir Paul Marshall.

THE NAVY SEAL FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES $10 MILLION LEADERSHIP GIFT FROM PHILANTHROPIST KEN GRIFFIN.

Everything in Royal circles, and I am including Harry in that, is opaque and rarely what it seems.

How strange that Harry would be invited to the opening of a Warrior Fitness Centre by the Navy Seals Foundation Chief Exec, given he's a figure of ridicule! I would've thought they would ask someone else to be there if so. Perhaps they don't know Grin

That was not in relation to K&W. You know it wasn't. Once about endless posts on how wonderful someone was. I believe it was deleted anyway so irrelevant.

It was not endless posts😁 it was two posters (I was one of them) that liked another posters comment and you asked if it was going to turn into a 'fan club'.
If I found a term offensive I wouldn't use it full stop, it wouldnt be dependant on what/who the subject matter was. Anyway, that's all I'm saying on it.

pinkmont · 10/11/2023 08:29

Potentially because H&M's buddy, the biggest donor to the Navy Seals Foundation, suggested it to them?

Not saying that is the case, but it is certainly another angle.

Roussette · 10/11/2023 08:32

Haha, it's all the time, not an isolated two posts!
I am admonished and will never use that word again, it was once only anyway . Let's hope I'm accorded the same politeness !
And that's all I'll say on the subject too!
