Meg’s era of joy

[Triplesec]

Showing up to support her very close friend who lost her child and also the children’s hospital at an evening gala. What a friend to have in the Duchess. Meghan was glowing, fresh faced, wore minimal makeup, was confidant and smiley. She was well spoken and supportive of the evening fund raiser when interviewed. Show Up, Do Good. Yes, she always does. Loved her look too.

What were the occasions that led to the comments about the dresses?

Royals have been happily wearing off-the-shoulder in evening dresses and ball gowns for centuries (eg Queen Victoria before she was widowed - possibly even further back than that)

But not for daytime clothes. I can only find one pic of the Princess at a daytime event in an off-the-shoulder maxi dress at a German garden party (back in 2017)

I don't think MM was often criticised for her preference for off the shoulder/boatneck, even though it's a style she wore many times.

I already answered this.

As you are an adult and able to read and go back through the thread yourself.

I won't be trawling back through the thread for you.

So basically you're saying you saw 'racist' posts on this thread and didn't bother to report them?

Mumsnet has a very low tolerance of racism, and rightly so. If you have seen racist posts, you really should report them.

To my eyes she is looking different from the last couple of years.
It's like her face shape has changed- got longer with a bigger forehead.
I can't explain it, can't put my finger on what it is.

Throwing unsubstantiated accusations around is a form of bullying.

I knew you would bring it up, no they were deleted cos I called you a liar for incorrectly quoting me and when asked for evidence you couldn't show me the exact post I said it. So if you are going to quote me then it needs to be accurate otherwise it's a lie. I don't personally attacked you for your comments about M&H though.

And I answered you.

No, you didn't - I asked which posts on the thread show jealousy or racism and you haven't identified any posts. Could you please?

(It's not great to just accuse a bunch of people of racism without specifying who or what, is it?)

I think she's changed her eyebrows - they look more solid (perhaps with paint to give clearer edges esp in the middle) and slightly thinker.

But @Spectre8 calling someone a liar is a personal attack so QED, no?

My guess is an eyelid lift, botox and cheek fillers, combined with extensive weight loss.

I swear 40’s is really an age where you can look either in your 30’s or even late 20’s or 60’s 😂 I really notice this is real life also , there doesn’t seem an in between!

I mean Meghan looks incredible for 43!

43 is not old. I see great looking women that age and older every day.

So Meghan's behaviour is so indefensible, that all anyone has now is 'Well, you're all just jealous anyway. And racist.'

After desperately attempting to derail with; Charles, Diana (and their early 80's relationship), Catherine, Camilla and, of course...the british press.

But the prize has to go to the poster that didn't make any personal attacks, but admits to calling another poster a liar. Because in a world where Meghan does nothing wrong, calling someone a liar isn't personal, or an attack.

You're joking right?
I just went back to the pictures of her and zoomed in.

She has so many 'laughter lines' and 'crows feet'.

I'm ten years older and don't have any.
No surgery to my face, just an ordinary 53 year old.

Not saying she looks awful, but saying she looks great for her age is reaching a little

You said 'I asked which posts'. 'Could you please"

And I replied "no."

Youre allowed to ask. And I get to say no.

You don't get to order another human being around.

I'm not trawling back through the whole thread for you.

You can do that yourself.

So did you report these posts @Roundthemoon ?

The 'off the shoulder' outfit that caused criticism was her first Trooping the Colour (they had only married the month before) where she was wearing pink. I thought the criticism was ridiculous and she looked very nice.

But the key to dealing with the British press (if you're a royal) is to ignore them. They were looking to stir up drama and clicks any way they could. It was transparently obvious (to a British citizen who has followed royal news for decades).

One jealous post that stands out in my memory, and I believe is early on this thread.

One poster said "meghan looks great"

And another poster instantly nastily replied

"What, you mean the nose job"?

This whole thread should be reported for bullying and cruelty

Yes I did.

I know what you mean. I can’t quite put my finger on it but I agree her face seems longer (not sure if that’s weight loss). She was attractive in Suits (I’ve only seen the trailer snippets in stuff as I don’t have Netflix but she was very attractive in it). She seems plain now. That’s not a criticism just an observation as I look a lot plainer than I used to, but she doesn’t look like the head turner she was when she first met Harry and he was wowed. If he met her for the first time now I doubt he’d be bowled over. It happens to us all though (except Catherine who barely looks a day older than her student self grrrr).

If these posts were indeed racist they'll have been deleted immediately. So why are you telling posters to go look for them?

Report it then.

And just because you disapprove of a post, it doesn't make it evidence of 'jealousy'. Personally, if I were inclined to be jealous of people I'll never meet, Meghan would not be one of them. I see nothing enviable about her life.

Diana got criticised for wearing a strapless black dress in her early years. The (late) Queen was always very traditional so anything that veered into ‘modern’ got criticised regardless of your colour, race, age, whatever.

Learn to read the thread iced purple! You can do it.

The poster didn't just ask about racist posts did she.

She asked about racist posts, and jealous posts.

She asked where they were.

I said I'm not going back though the whole thread for her. But I kindly quoted one jealous post for her.
