Meghan and Harry spotted out and about - Montecito Moments Edition

[skullbabe]

Part 6 of 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. This is a relatively drama free zone - let’s keep things light! Clinking a glass of lemonade 🥂 to @queentim for the original inspiration.

I like that casual outfit, except for the shoes. I hate pointed toes, partly because they make my feet look enormous, but also because I don't find it the most flattering shape.

My God this is on point and I've said the same, just move on people, press etc. They clearly have and they are living their life how they want to and if they are happy that's all that really matters and they do look happy.

A bit flippery.

So nice to see M&H back home with their kids - they must be absolutely exhausted!

I am still amazed by what they, Invictus and the Nigerian government and others just pulled off. A flawless, successful quasi-presidential level tour! Who would have imagined that 4 years ago when they fled the UK!

And to return to warm words of support for Archewell by Governor of California Gavin Newsom himself…

Plus all the exciting Netflix projects and ARO and the first ever Invictus Winter Games in just 9 months…

I remember the CEO of Netflix commenting on the success of Harry & Meghan, saying people (including in the UK) watched the hell outta that show. Like Spare which became the bestselling book in UK in 2023…

No wonder H&M said in their exclusive post Nigeria interview with People: “we’re happy”

I would be too, despite everything! 😂🤩🌟

and I didn’t even mention “Suits” becoming the most streamed Netflix show of all time in 2023 with 58 billion viewing minutes…

(… such Hollywood losers, really!… 😆😂)

....in the US

That's insane.

But Suits is a great show 👌 one of those that keeps you entertained.

Have you watched "Psych"? It was on the same network and also entertaining

@TallerSally I'm happy for them, they're going from strength to strength and seem to be supported by a good group of people

Same, I've always tried to avoid pointy toe shoes (but I like the design/colour), they make my feet look huge

You should really consider more than the basic headline if you really want to understand this. This has all been discussed before ad nauseam. 🥱

Meghan back home in an apparently Princess Di-inspired outfit!

Thanks @skullbabe for the thread

That's a phrase I'd love the press to retire, for Meghan and Catherine.

I don't for a second believe they are basing their outfits on Princess Diana. It usually means 'wore spots' or 'wore blue' or something equally mundane. In this case, 'paired cream and camel' which is hardly groundbreaking.

And whilst I'm ranting I think both of them have better dress sense than she did.

@skullbabe

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.

You used this phrase in your previous thread. I noted it and said that I was interested in these terms and wasn't offended by them. Why would I - or anyone - be? I prefer "MBE" purely because it's not London-centric but it's not a big deal to me.
However no MLE terms cropped up. I mentioned this. A bit later after my post saying I'd seen no MLE you talked about ladies looking "hydrated".
It seemed odd to me as well as to other posters and I looked it up.
You told me, eventually, that it meant hydrated and moisturised is related to being non ashy with your hair laid and being generally non problematic.
So, like anyone uses the word "hydrated" I suppose and certainly not the slang term I and possibly others had found from Googling something like "hydrated slang MLE".

You also, eventually, said in reply to me in my asking about MLE terms:
there may be not there only will be in my OP. My reference to jollof was tongue in cheek as you well surmised.
I'm not sure that I "well surmised" the reference to joloff. I said that a friend from Ghana made the most delicious jollof I've ever had but I still don't really get the reference. You also quoted some Norfolk dialect which was easily Googlable. I'm not sure why but it was interesting.

You added Simples after your explanation of the term "hydrated" to me.
I'm sure you didn't mean this term to be patronising but it came across that way. Maybe it's a use I don't understand.

Anyway, there were no MLE terms in your last thread for anyone to be offended by and I really hope that no-one will be offended by such terms if they occur here.

It looks like H&M also visited Save the Children whilst they were in Nigeria - goodness they were busy.

Oh wow, from Save the Children UK? They were very busy indeed

I really liked that video, and it makes me so happy to see more civics-minded youth especially with how the world is

Found a nice photo!

Gosh her lip fillers are really noticeable when she doesn't do a full smile.

So many beautiful people! 🤗

Thanks for sharing, @cookienomstar !

Where are they?

They were at a Save the Childen event in Abjua. Their friend Misan is the global ambassador and invited them

@TallerSally I've seen several of these kinds of articles and discussions from the UK that have been along the same thread this past week.

Absolutely hysterical (by that I mean pathetic) and rolling my eyes. But this attempt at changing the narrative is so unsurprising

the Westminster Abbey service to commemorate the Invictus Games, when King Charles and Harry were both present

I was so confused by this I had to Google!

The Spencer family was there to show some love and support for Harry and the Invictus Games Foundation

Helpful my arse and that is massive. There are always countries who are desperate for respectability and there are always punters who are willing to buy the goods. There are always people who are dazzled by glitz and gold.
