Not listened to the first in Meghan's podcast series, a conversation with the founder of Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Heard, but the Mail has collated all the press reviews so far, with links. The Guardian, Telegraph and i-Paper are unanimous: the podcast is cloyingly dreadful.

That maybe one of her worst outfits so far - and that's saying something. I can't understand how such a beautiful looking woman can make Ralph Lauren look so bad.

He doesn't seem to mind the Queen getting attention.
Is there going to be a new "But Charles..." trope?

I agree, Harry did look down. He was ignored when they arrived, particularly by his wife who tootled off while he was reaching out a hand to her, and he then had to scurry after her to keep up.

I have noticed in the past that if she is the focus of attention she tends to not be so touchy feely and grabby around Harry. If he is the focus of attention she is holding his arm in a double clasp and directing him by touching his back. I don’t think this is me picking holes for the sake of it, I’m sure it is a thing and I haven’t imagined it.

That's spot on @BunnyLake! She invades his moments but doesn't share hers.

That’s a good way of putting it 😁

Profhilodisaster · 24/04/2025 11:18

I wonder if Harry has ever mentioned her outfits , I'm sure a decent partner wouldn't want you going out in something that doesn't fit.

HonoriaBulstrode · 24/04/2025 11:19

Is the Ralph Lauren suit on her ShopMy page yet? Though if I was RL or anyone else, I wouldn't want her promoting my clothes if she couldn't even make them look good. Do the makers of these clothes have to give approval/permission for her to put them on her site? I don't really know how it works.

RandyRedHumpback · 24/04/2025 11:22

The vocal fry of both interviewer and MM set my teeth on edge. Plus I have indigestion from the overdose of word salad and syrup. Why are reputable publications/orgs still giving this air head a platform? All I can think of is clicks - people will hate watch, but at least they are watching.

Wildbird12 · 24/04/2025 12:59

I'm not sure I've ever commented on anything she has worn but that suit does not suit her at all. It looks about four sizes too big - she is swamped by it.

Although Don Johnson’s Armani suits were tailored to fit properly, even though the style was baggy. And he isn’t going to be tripping over the hem. And he looked cool (in the context of the times) 😆

I just don't believe this. Her entire shtick is clap back. In her latest podcast, her friend didn't have children so she can't lean to her working mom persona, but she gets in that her guest is the kid's auntie, clapping back at their lack of family. She is your hairdresser, it's all so transactional.

The Time 100 thingy was also clapback. Really happy people don't have to keep telling you they are happy. And frankly, given the COL crisis, there should be no reason for her not to be happy and joyful. I probably have 1% of their wealth and I thank my lucky stars every day. I don’t go around boasting about it!

Quite. The whole thing felt like a clapback at the accusations of....clapping-back.

If he ever reads MN he’ll know a dh never ever negatively comments on his wife’s attire unless it’s to say how wonderful she looks.

Spectre8 · 24/04/2025 09:05

She isnt boasting though. In a world of constant negativity and moaning it's nice to hear people are happy. If I'm asked how I am, I'll say I'm happy because I am. I'm not going to downplay it incase it is seen as boasting. Why should anyone have to. There has been a COL crisis for years now does that mean we should just all be miserable or tone down our happiness cos we wouldn't want to offend anyone. You can be happy even if things are tough, happiness isn't measured by wealth.

Edited

Hers is!!! Can't imagine her being too happy if she was suddenly poor!

BemusedAmerican · 24/04/2025 14:52

I'm just envisioning the Ralph Lauren people weeping into their lattes.😁

I didn’t manage to read most of that thread but I recall there have been unpleasant comments about Louis ( and George and Charlotte) in the past from the SS .
It is a new low to pick on young DC.

I only saw the first page of posts, so I don't know what happened. It's disgusting.

Wearing this suit shows how little M understands how to dress for her body type and the occasion. She's small so this big trouser suit look is not for her, unless she is confined to her Montecito estate. Linen never photographs well when the wearer is standing up. She would have known that she was going to climb out of a Range Rover in full view of the cameras.

BasiliskStare · 24/04/2025 15:25

I think what Meghan may not have learned is a lesson I learned years ago. If the photograph of the outfit on the model looks fabulous - read the bit which says "model is 6ft and wears a size 6" and believe it. 😂

I lasted about a minute. They sounded so alike. It was vomit inducing. I would love to see someone interview her properly rather than suck up to her.

Spectre8 · 24/04/2025 15:55

Woman deciding to wear what she wants 🙄 so what if linen doesn't phitogrpah well. She wanted to wear it, she has. She wears linen alot. Actually it's a silk linen blend because I checked the ralph lauren website given the chorus of omg it's creased, when actually it isn't the photos of her in it are similar to the website, it's the material as it is.

Wide leg trousers are back on trend 💁‍♀️

Why can't anyone wear them if they want to. Why doesn't everything alwsys have to be about making sure its for your body type so yo ualwsys look your best. Why not wear clothes because you like them and stuff what anyone else thinks if it's for you or not.

Hello @Spectre8 I see you are quite fired up this afternoon.

Any of us can wear whatever we like, of course. Most of us, though, do our best to look our best, out of a sense of pride in ourselves and respect for others. And a few - perhaps you are one of them - stuff what anyone else thinks and deal with the consequences. I think white and cream swimwear is sensational but I am red-head pale, nolonger slim and middle-aged so I would look ridiculous in it. Out of respect for myself, I choose not to look ridiculous.

glitterturd · 24/04/2025 16:18

@Spectre8it's important for her to dress well as she is trying to make a living by flogging it.

glitterturd · 24/04/2025 16:23

I think it's also the way she walks - Fanny first .

HonoriaBulstrode · 24/04/2025 16:25

She was attending a public event with the purpose of promoting herself as a businesswoman. Of course she should be aiming to look her best - smart, organised, efficient.

And what is the point of spending $$$$$ on designer clothes if you aren't then going to present the outfit to its best advantage? The trousers were much too long. It spoiled the line having them flopping on the ground like that, they were a trip hazard, and the hems would soon be frayed and grubby through having them drag on the ground.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 24/04/2025 16:25

I don’t think anyone has a problem with wide leg trousers. It’s the fact that she looks a mess in them.

Yes, there is a natural crepe to the material as it’s silk linen, but when looking at the official brand photos of the clothes compared to her wearing the outfit, it’s badly creased (especially around the bottom of the jacket and the top of the trousers). It’s fine if your Joe Bloggs walking down the street but she’s trying to give the impression of a professional and her poorly pressed clothes makes her look sloppy.

Secondly, the hem of her trousers are dragging across the floor. A sign that she should have had the hem taken up so it actually fits her proportions. She’s a woman; not a mop.

She probably should have gotten it taken in a bit too if you want my honest opinion, but that’s her style, if she wants to look ridiculous in oversized clothes, that’s her prerogative. At the same time we are allowed to comment and pass judgement on her clothes as she is a public figure. I also think Harry looked a bit sloppy with his popped top button but there you go 🤷🏼‍♀️

NeverTookTheTime · 24/04/2025 16:29

Although I agree that she doesn’t always get her clothing choices ‘right’, (her wedding dress was awful for example) I quite like the suit on her!
