Meghan, Duchess of Sussex spotted out and about, part 3

Part 3 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. h/t @queentim for the original threads.

I really liked this outfit and the way the skirt flowed as she walked - really good choice and quite pared back compared to some other people on the red carpet.

'and honestly shows just how watched anything Meghan (or in fact both of them) does is'

Yes they attract attention because they have behaved appallingly, people are more intrigued to see what crap they're coming up with next.

If social media had been around when the Duke Of Windsor was alive I bet those 2 would have generated a load of clicks too.

Yes. And I have a feeling there would be just as much online disapproval for David and Wallis as there is for Harry and Meghan.

Rightly so. Both couples were/are only interested in how much money they can make.

I'd saythe majority of people have a desire no matter how big or small to earn as much as they can and what's wrong with that? Only have to see people on here saying they want higher wages or earn more or how do I get to £100k salary to see that it's perfectly okay to wabt tonearn as much as you can.

But we all have different thresholds for what we would be willing to trade. My DH just asked if I’d run a McDonald’s for $1M a year. Not as manager; as owner. Nope, not for $10M. I value my leisure time too much.

I wouldn’t trade lives with most celebrities, either. I don’t think most people want millions or to move away from everyone they know to make all new friends in a strange place.

Slagging your family off for dollars is not perfectly ok

How does it do that @skullbabe ?

The video is part of the updated landing page for the Welcome Project and honestly shows just how watched anything Meghan (or in fact both of them) does is.

Yes but that doesn't answer my question?

How does the fact that it is on the Sussex website show "just how watched Meghan is" ? Because it has been reported in a newspaper ?

Most people wouldn’t presume a picture taken on Meghan in the UK was current.

Why not? Harry shot on a plane to London? You can't know that. You are surmising.

No one is jealous 🥱. Just rather sick and tired of petulant Harold moaning about his family, gossiping to the media then prancing about grinning like he's done nothing wrong. HTH.

I admire Meghan’s clothes. I want to talk more about that.

She does casual so well, doesn't she?

AliceOlive · 28/02/2024 11:20

This is old but I still need a new coat and it’s good timing for getting something on sale.

I’ve been banging on about the Calvin Klein coat I bought that arrived and was big as a house. It was also a wool blend and looked cheap to me. I finally returned it to the nearest store a few days ago so I’m on the hunt again.

I haven’t bought a new coat since pre-Covid. I need one that is plain and versatile first. Camel or black.

mrsmingleton · 28/02/2024 11:32

You have to be careful with some of those coats as they look very "dressing gown" type. There is also that tendency to tie them too high up around the waist in an unflattering way.

Gosh it is interesting seeing M in these photos - she looks so different now . I realise she is pregnant in one.

AliceOlive · 28/02/2024 12:35

Agreed. I don’t love the wrap look on me.

can’t believe this boucle coat went on sale so low before selling out. I love it.

how can you be tired of it, he hasn't done any of that since Spare. he has done what millions do, talk about their life and their family problems. various other members of the family have done so, including the King. This thread isn't about Harry, its about Meghan and her fashions isn't it?

AliceOlive · 28/02/2024 13:06

It could be about Meghan and her terrific fashions and also about positive aspects of their work, but seems like it’s not what a few people really want.

I think it's getting more tiring when stuff that did years ago keeps being dredged up again so people can keep having another pop.

Anyway now it's coming up to spring I look forward to any pictures we might get about what coats she might wear. I don't recall seeing her wear shorter coats or jackets, mostly blazers. 🤔

MsForgetful · 28/02/2024 13:34

I really need a new coat! its ridiculous now... I am wearing my sons! I just can't decide and am too short to look good in what Meghan wears!

I’m wearing my step son’s sometimes. 🤣

What’s your best style? My hits right above the knee. I had a lovely boucle Calvin Klein with faux leather and if I could find the same one again i would get it. Similar to the one I posted above but more tailored. I got compliments on it constantly but eventually ripped the back on a wire under an airplane seat.

I found a similar CK style and bought it but it’s not as nice and just would rather than woven.

MsForgetful · 28/02/2024 13:46

I honestly don't know, all my life I have struggled with coats and hats! I have ruined every holiday photo this way!! I had one that everyone says I looked good in, I am petite so it was very fitting at the waist, and below the knee surprisingly for a short person. I love Megan's coats, every one, but I don't think the styles will suit me because I am a small person.

What type of shoes do you wear? I think that makes a big different to what looks good.

What size is Meghan, anyway? I thought she was fairly small also.

MsForgetful · 28/02/2024 14:07

yeah, I am even shorter, I think she is 5"7. Ia m 5"2. Maybe I am just lazy and should shop and try on more! Its hot trying on coats in menopause. I don't wear heels as much as I used to, and that does make longer coats trickier. Perhaps I am just not used to the current styles of baggy or oversized coats. One of my daughters said I looked great in her huge oversized puffa jacket, but I thought I looked ridiculous and like a child!

Daisyislazy · 28/02/2024 19:57

I look like a mushroom when I wear a hat
