Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there are so many awkward moments in this!

There's nothing wrong with what happened in the video. All the women standing together is far more impactful than them being dotted about. I really don't like the dress at all though.

They’re actually culottes. The only time I’ve ever thought wow (in a good way) with her clothes was that gorgeous Stella McCartney dress she wore at their evening wedding do.

The interactions on the stage look fine to me.

I also loved the dress from the back but not the front. I think the swathes of fabric crossing the bust needed more volume / pleating. I suspect M had Hollywood-taped her boobs given that the dress isn't bra-friendly, and that area looked very static and odd.

I like this from Halpern better ...

That’s gorgeous!

No it’s a dress. It just looks like culottes in one of the photos

Meghan Markle has never looked better in daring halterneck outfit as she supports husband Prince Harry

The Duchess of Sussex looked incredible at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge to benefit Sentebale

Her heels are waaaaay too high for her. They make her walk like an insect. That’s why she’s awkward I think. I would feel very vulnerable if I had them on.

I have seen far more awkward interactions (that other polo trophy one was truly awful). Possibly this clip doesn’t give a very accurate impression of the occasion, but I got the impression that the Sentebale director thought she should stand next to Harry. Why was it up to Meghan to direct the line-up, so to speak? Also, it was very rude to make her duck under the trophy like that, but that’s more on Harry than Meghan, I would say.

ISeriouslyDoubtIt · 14/04/2024 12:19

I'm assuming she put herself at the centre because it's being filmed for Netflix.
I thought it was very rude and inappropriate of her to make the woman move away and have to duck under the trophy, the woman is actually the Director of Sentebale so really should have been able to stand next to Harry.

This adds some important context... wow!

No clue! The dress sold out in 4 hours!

It should be lined, that's quite bad for an expensive garment.

Her legs look painfully thin, other than that ..?

However I know you’re probably referring to meghan asking the lady to move away from harry to next to her.

But if you listen to it, it’s the other lady that asks her to move and meghan then also gestures .

to be perfectly honest, it was better she moved so now no one was blocking anyone else in the photo 🙄 .

media making something out of nothing again. They just want everyone to hate her . I mean the media are just bullies aren’t they

Media are bullies

Also you: calls a stunning woman painfully thin to feel Bette tv about yourself

Goes to show it’s different people’s pov, doesn’t it- I thought she was moving the lady so the lady would be the centre of the attention/picture

ZoeCM · 14/04/2024 19:20

I don't understand what I'm supposed to be seeing here? What's so awkward?

3peassuit · 14/04/2024 19:36

She looks lovely but is no respecter of grass in those heels.

Fredblog · 14/04/2024 19:44

It's weird. Why are the winners not in the middle? Why is Meghan centre stage and the actual polo players pushed out?

Fairly normal for those presenting the trophies to be in the middle

Very normal for Royal wives (when there as VIPs rather than in jeans) to present the trophy.

Shame it crowded ot the newish head of Sentabale though, but aside from that I think it's no biggie

mondaytosunday · 14/04/2024 19:57

Looks fine be to me too. They look happy and healthy. These trophy things are never the most natural are they? Just look at years of Wimbledon ones. This was better as she knew at least one of them!

idkbroidk · 14/04/2024 19:59

Meghan & Harry haters are so fucking weird. like i don't care at all about any member of the Royal Family, but the way that M&H get treated is fucking insane. the misgynoir is real

So you haven't given equal time looking at the utterly grotesque stuff about the Princess of Wales - and how one of the SS notables is still insisting that her video talking about cancer treatment is fake.

They're contemptibly beyond weird, and really do stoke division and conspiracy theory (whilst labelling any comments about H&M as "hate"). I expect there will be rich material for future psychologists in all the division-stoking and projection

Agree.

You'd think as aspiring producers of content they'd have thought the closing ceremony and subsequent line-up through.

As it stands Meghan looks rude while Henry hamming it up for the NF $$$ cameras appears to have scored himself a pass.

What relevance does any of this have to what pp said? A simple, 'yeah, people who follow Harry and Meghan to hate are indeed weird' would suffice.

Your second para is simply baffling. Are you hunting that you are one of those "hater" weirdos? Because the tone is so defensive and petulant. "But people hate on Kate too (so why can't I attack Meghan)!!!"

You aren't very knowledgeable are you? There are actually very few "haters" but a lot of people are disgusted by their behaviour and double standards.

I wouldn't start talking about misogyny when you literally can't spell it. And Harry is a man. Apparently.

Your post is more baffling.

The amount of horrible rumours that were circulated around the Princess of Wales was shocking, yet Harry and Meghan, the self appointed campaigners against social media trolling, seem to have if not encouraged it, tolerated it without condemnation.

And Meghan is not being attacked. She puts herself in the public eye - she will attract comment.

Screamingabdabz · 14/04/2024 21:11

Diana looked similarly awkward when she kissed and handed Charles a similar polo trophy. She was pink with embarrassment and so was he. It’s ok for things to be awkward sometimes.

I just wish someone would tell Meghan that she doesn’t have to make everything about her. Why does she have to be front and centre? I guess there is no one on the planet who would be able to tell her that though.

Runnerinthenight · 14/04/2024 21:20

The photo of Meghan above reminds me of the photo of Diana, wearing a skirt that was see-through.

Only she was working with small children at the time and she was 19.

Maddie212 · 14/04/2024 21:20

@Runnerinthenight right, ok, there we have it. You're the type of person being referred to.

Kate is not relevant to this thread. And if you can't accept that Meghan also receives poor treatment, then nobody is going to listened to your biased opinion xx

And Meghan is not being attacked. She puts herself in the public eye - she will attract comment.

No word on Kate? She obviously has no desire to be in the public eye despite being married to the future king?

It's all a bit dumb, so I'm not interested in any debate
