Oh dear , oh dear! Really ted? Since when has Meghan ever promoted or protected people’s health? “ it’s not her job to coddle people “ afterall! And she certainly didn’t care about the health and wellbeing of her staff!
I’ve heard he’s dodgy but this is not a good look for WHO!

The jacket is not a good fit! The trousers are way too long.

The blazer is too short in the sleeve and it’s pulling when the button is closed, which it shouldn’t. It’s not a good fit.

It's pretty awful really isn't it? Why is there so much material at the crotch ? Buttons make or break an outfit and these just break it. It emphasises what she needs to minimise.

There were rows of chairs set up in front of the lecture from which Meghan spoke - you can see them in this picture. I too presumed the rest of the attendees were not pictured, to protect their privacy. But you can see from this video, pre-arrival, that there were 40-45 chairs set out in total.

Thanks @Serenster! I sat through the whole thing and it only shows the empty chairs! , even if they were all filled thats a pathetic turn out ! But the picture with people is cropped and doesn’t show all the seats! Were they filled?

But that makes the photo on insta worse.

So not sharing fashion links due to the occasion (so looks like they have learnt something) but instead creating a photo to clearly show what she was wearing prior to the speech. So they haven't really learnt anything.

In fact this is possibly even more shameless, given the subject matter.

Yes this was a site which usually posts and links what Meghan wears. She has learnt the lesson - Meghan never will.

Catherine was presented with the Primo Tricolore in Reggio Emilia, so Meghan has to be presented with something too. A field vest a la Princess Diana (although hers was a Red Cross/Halo Trust one).

I doubt there was a large crowd.

I don't think Meghan's presence at that exact event was known in advance and in any case, she's hardly a household name in Switzerland. Why would the Swiss care about the American wife of the younger son of the British king?

I think what's more telling is that this was basically a minor event on the periphery of the WHO conference. Which isn't to say it wasn't very meaningful to the parents of the children commemorated, but it wasn't a high level occasion. I can't imagine, say, Angelina Jolie flying all the way to Geneva and leaving her children at home yet again just to speak at this low key event. So unless Meghan has some other 'appearance' scheduled, this kind of reeks of desperation to me.

Which makes it all the more shocking that she flew all the way from the USA for this minor event, and presumably WHO funded her flight and expenses.

I wonder if the field vest fits her properly 🤔

Why present anything to MM? The bereaved parents of the Parents Network are the ones doing the ongoing campaigning. Why isn't she insisting the right people are acknowledged? This is just one more fake award for things she hasn't done.

AtIusvue · 18/05/2026 15:22

Still absolutely nothing about where the dress is from. If she’s had it made…maybe she’s thinking well QE2 had all her outfits made….?

Didn't she complain about all the lilac suits at Smart Works? Maybe she nicked one.

Serenster · 18/05/2026 15:24

That lilac dress is a very poor fit if it’s bespoke - it’s swimming around her waist and hips. Meghan has worn fab and perfectly fitted bright yellow and crisp white sheath dresses in the past, so this is unusual for her.

No, she will have to have it redesigned in a pave setting and have DoS emblazoned on it for her to wear it.

Yes, I think someone said that upthread.

WhatMeghanWore always finds out where the outfits are from and absolutely nothing on this. If it was made…it’d be pretty easy to do. It’s just a shift dress and dress coat in a cotton fabric.

….wait…didnt Harry once say she sows her own clothes? it’s not got that bad has it 😂

I’ve just seen a YouTube video from a Swiss YouTuber called “my Switzerland style “ , apparently nobody came apart from the parents and the WHO staff! , it was embarrassing apparently! , she also goes on to list all the bad behaviour of ted!!
can’t link unfortunately!

Ooh, her own fashion line. You too can look ill fitting and wrinkled!

Just pointing out that if you google Princess Diana in lilac suit, there are many pictures, including Elizabeth Debicki's portrayal of her in The Crown. I think she's definitely pivoting into her Diana the Humanitarian Era.

ShamedBySiri · 18/05/2026 15:31

It is rather amusing that Meghan wearing an unremarkable black trouser suit has generated so much discussion, some approving, some in the “could do better” camp, chiefly because it is an improvement on her usual efforts. Meanwhile someone involved in the organisation effortlessly wore a similar (but imo better cut) suit which she probably wheels out regularly for work events. Black suit = professional garb and many, many working women have at least one such outfit in their wardrobe.

Anyway here are some pictures of Lady Helen Taylor from back in the day when she was Armani muse. What a plum job. 🤩

I’m going to break my tradition and ask what is going on with the satin trousers and crotch in the second picture!!! , normally I don’t notice womens crotch’s but that isn’t a good look!

Serenster · 18/05/2026 15:41

Do you mean the watermark over it? Or the horizontal lines in the fabric ? Satin isn’t stretchy, and creases like mad, so is an unforgiving choice for tight-fitting trousers. 😀

Are there photos showing the audience at the Geneva event? The only photos I've seen show the barriers next to and behind M and the optics are terrible. A few stray, disinterested people. It really shows her up as a nobody.

I just wondered if there is a large crowd in front I haven't seen in photos?

There’s some footage on Proper Wiseguy’s YouTube channel that shows Meg’s talking to an empty roundabout. She cuts off at the end very abruptly - a muted ‘thank you’ and she turns and leaves.

I suspect her somewhat nervy performance may have been because there was no applause where was expecting there to be. There wasn’t even any at the beginning when she walked out or at the end, let alone in the middle.

Someone’s going to get it in the neck for putting her through this. It wasn’t ’intimate’ - it was embarrassing on a Spinal Tap level.

I was thinking the same myself, if there had been crowds like Catherine had in Italy she would have been in her element, I think the nervy speech was because she was embarrassed and probably furious at the empty seats.
