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 just don't understand what they're doing there and why they felt the need to announce it. I don't put out a press release when I'm going on holiday (or to work, if that's what they're claiming).

I liked the navy outfit as well. She is wearing a nice skirt and shirt combo today that I saw somewhere too.

Can we call him HarryHarry from now on please?

HarryHarry probably would agree that the navy outfit was a welcome departure from ill-advised or ill-fitting outfits.

But normal service was resumed with the over baggy tobacco coloured jacket and the rust brown moist outfit.

She does look well in a white shirt. She always does. The polka dots were a nice change, although I wish it hadn’t been an ivory background but white like her shirt.

It just ever so slightly missed being wonderful. Again.

Harry and Meghan went to Colegio Cultura Popular, a local charter school with the Vice President. They sat down with students for an Archewell ‘Insight Session' where they dived into discussions about the impact of social media on young people today. The students shared both the positive aspects and the challenges they face online, like dealing with cyberbullying and managing their digital footprints (very important for children today) - a consistent theme around media and social media from the causes Archewell appears to support and promote are around media and digital literacy.

Apparently Colombians on X are calling them the ‘Temu Royals’ 😂😂

In the afternoon, the Sussexes went to San Basilio de Palenque, a historic village on Colombia’s Caribbean coast which is known for its rich Afro-Colombian heritage, having been founded by escaped slaves in the 17th century. Meghan had a too!

Meghan wore a stunning dress designed by Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz (she wore the palm trees version in Nigeria and the gold version at the Women of Vision awards - obv she’s a fan 🤣 ). I absolutely love this version of the dress she wore here - I just love the colours. Not feeling Harry’s look - I think the shirt is too loose or maybe it’s the leather thong necklace 🤣

Her outfits are much more appropriate than those she chose for Nigeria. She looks good. The navy was especially gorgeous, just the wrong shoes IMO.

I have to add, I honestly can’t stand the hypocrisy of them campaigning against cyber bullying when they don’t take a stand against the most notorious of all cyber bullies, the Sussex squad. Who have targeted George, Charlotte and Louis. Until they take a stand against this group (rather than affiliating with them), they won’t have a chance of being taken seriously. Especially as their latest initiative is ironically a social media platform. Everyone except their most ardent supporters is thinking and seeing this now and it’s damaging to them.

Back they went to Bogotá in the evening and wrapped up their day at the Responsible Digital Future Forum, where they dived into discussions as part of Archewell about creating safer online spaces for young people. Meghan spoke about the importance of digital literacy, while Harry highlighted the need for stronger regulations to protect users, particularly children.

Meghan wore a rust brown shirt and trousers and her trusty Aquazzura shoes - Harry wore the same suit and shirt he wore earlier. Again - Meghan doing well with strong colours.

Aww missed this one from earlier - how sweet

Temu.

About right.

Temu tailoring. Temu anti-perspirant. Temu hair. Temu teeth.

She needs to ease up on the bronzer or learn how to blend it .

The rust colour does not suit as much as deep jewel colours might.

The fabric is unsuitable for warmer climates/sitting about in as other photos have shown.

I preferred the colours in the latest hertz dress for her. Far more flattering.

The Sussexes and the Vice President were warmly welcomed to Colegio La Giralda with a vibrant display of student performances, where children dressed in traditional Colombian attire showcased their cultural .

During their visit, they spent quality time with kindergarten students, with Meghan showcasing her Spanish skills as she interacted with the young learners. A highlight of the visit was when the couple planted a walnut tree on the school grounds, as a lasting legacy of their time in Colombia.

She wore a simple blazer and trousers combination - not a fan of long line blazers but again am pleased with colour. Harry was jacketless- but much prefer the olive green trousers and tan shoes to the tan/cream ensemble he was wearing the day before.

I think safer online spaces for young people is a worthy cause.

i wonder if that includes Harry’s nephews and niece who had to read the most ridiculous nasty rubbish about their parents?

I would very much like them to address that while they are out and about.

It would be most interesting.

Out of interest @skullbabe what's your source for the updates and photos?

Your updates read almost like a news bulletin or press release, with some added personal commentary on their outfits.

I admit I don't visit the Archewell website, do they post updates on there?

Paid bot?

Snap! I was about to say the same thing.
Nothing about this pair feels authentic- including their “supporters”

It takes me time to look up where they are, why they’re there, who they’re with, what they’re wearing and find pictures. Sites with good info include Archewell, Sussex.com, the Vice President’s YouTube which links to her other social media and web pages, Getty and X for images and the AP. The purpose of this thread is

YouTube video goes here

too!

Meghan had a what too?
Presumably a (some) word(s) are missing there.
Did Meghan have a "dance" too?
Or did Meghan have a percentage of "rich Afro-Colombian heritage" too?
Curious now.

But you’re not discussing anything.

It’s just mindless promotion of their activities.

That’s not the point of a chat site. I would suggest this type of posting should be looked at by closely by MN.

Ah You Tube takes the words off when I link. You’ve reminded me to double up the words when I link to YT. Yes it says Meghan had a dance too.

Your perogative to speak to Mumsnet about my posts - have at it 👍🏽.

Agree @Twistybranch and not sure I am happy being instructed to be positive !

I think the fact that people are having to spend so much time searching for information about this “tour” is reflective of the interest in them waning. There is minimal media interest and coverage which is much less than that of Nigeria. It isn’t a success in those terms thus far.
Their chosen reporter is from Harpers Baazar who has connections to Omid Scobie.
They can look good and speak eloquently but they need to back up what they are saying because they don’t address their own issues close to home and hypocrisy with their supporters.
The lack of coverage is indicative of their lessening influence.
