Meghan and Harry spotted out and about - Naija Edition

[skullbabe]

Part 5 of (mostly 😂) drama-free and positive threads, delving into all things Meghan and Harry. Whether it’s the causes they support, their business initiatives, or Meghan’s fashion choices (Harry’s too, on occasion 😉), there’s plenty to discuss. Just a pro-tip - that there may be use of MLE terms and discussions of dupes - you might want to exit stage left if these things offend. Hat tip to @queentim for the original inspiration.

I saw this woman yesterday and loved her outfit

Love the design on the lower part of the dress.

It looks like it’s respectful to cover your shoulders too, Harry looks fantastic in white though!

Honestly, and this could just be my sensitivities as a POC, I am finding the revealing outfit designs, block colouring while all the other women around are in beautiful print, and pale colour palette all a bit reminiscent of colonial dressing a la White Mischief.

She does look nice though only saw her with this clip

Where Meghan appears to walk away mid conversation from her though perhaps she is walking towards the musicians.

Oh dear those poor school children 😢

I agree with you that the lady looks great in the green and turquoise. I must see if there was a whole row of them in those colours.

If you think of it as a royal tour a lot of the things are odd, but it isn't. It's a celebrity tour, lots of celebrities do them on behalf of charities they are associated with. They are no different from all those who go and visit foreign countries on behalf of Comic Relief.

Love this dress. Does anyone know the identity of this woman?

Do you mean between US and Nigeria?

I thu know she has been looking good and they are both clearly happy. I liked the white dress it looked great in her.

I couldn't pull off the colours and prints the Nigerian women wear also some of the colours they out together I just personally wouldnt. They look fab though and it suits them but I just couldn't pull it off.

lots of celebrities do them on behalf of charities they are associated with

Indeed. They have been to the school they are associated with via Archwell and now are doing Invictus associated events.

Do Comic Relief and other charity celebs do military inspections from a red carpeted platform, like Harry did yesterday?

No, but it probably did provide some with comic relief!

I admit I've only been looking at the frocks here so I missed that he did that.

I suppose, because he seems to have been invited by the military, that was inevitable but if I were him I would have declined. But if Harry made better decisions we wouldn't be in this position.

It reminds me of the saluting at Pearl Harbour, doesn't across well.

So glad we have so many people here from the diaspora to tell us about how things are 😉

Anyway I spied a gele and cloth in the Meghan's presents.

He's there is his capacity as a private citizen, he is not representative of the head of state, as made abundantly clear by the FCO. It would be inevitable in a royal tour, but not in this case. He does not need to think about diplomatic sensitivities or offending the host nation, the military is not the state of Nigeria, it works for the state. He is being played and is too stupid or too vain to say no.

I agree, it was what I meant by saying he needs to make better decisions.

I'm mildly interested to watch the fallout from this tour in the US. I'm not sure it's providing the optics they expected.

I thought Comic Relief had decided to stop doing this given all the (justified in my opinion) criticism about white saviourism?

They employ local reporters and film makers to highlight the projects they support.

Yes they have, this is a bit of a throw back.

I absolutely agree. I was just trying to consider a different aspect as someone who married into a different culture. I know from my own experience that it can take years to understand the nuances. Best wishes.

why is Meghan wearing a wedding dress?

She isn’t.

No between the US and the UK.
