Maybe she’s raiding the wardrobe of Ian Wace’s wife as hers haven’t been shipped over yet?

Perhaps they have girly sleepovers and swap lipgloss as well.

It's her "I care, I am centring you, you are not alone" gesture that Harry or someone must have taught her. It just doesn't work because it's obviously not sincere and her entire aim with it is to centre herself and promote herself as a great humanitarian, rather than to help the other person.

I always interpret it as a 'here, let me help and guide you' dominance pose. Especially with her OH.

I thinks she's definitely imitating Geri Halliwell. She's always imitating someone.

Serious Geri Halliwell vibes in that outfit the difference is Geri has her clothes tailored to perfection to fit her tiny frame... Meghan is also tiny & has a fabulous figure she definitely should invest in the services of a very good tailor

Harry is listed as a co-instructor alongside American neuroscientist Dr Mary-Frances O'Connor, where they hope the class will help viewers 'discover new ways to process grief and loss so you can find your way back to you'.

I really, REALLY hope someone has the stones to stand up and ask 'just what exactly are your therapeutic qualifications for this apart from 'my mum died when I was 13'?

I wonder if she's got any jobs going? I lost a parent at the same age and I could sure use $ 100K.

I don't think Meghan has a 'fabulous figure' but no reason she couldn't look great in the right outfits. However, she seems more interested in showing off ostentatious wealth and dressing for who and where she wants to be rather than dressing appropriately for the occasion and her figure.

She owes Ralph Lauren an apology. Somewhere RL & co. are gritting their teeth but are too classy to.post a rebuttal.

It reminds me a bit of the old Tom Ford and Victoria Beckham story back in the day!

To be honest I do think Meghan has a lovely figure but the tailoring & styling is all wrong & it just swamps her. She could have so much fun with clothes with her budget

Lifewasapillow · 09/10/2026 12:15

Those white trousers are utterly stupid. Not elegant, classic or edgy.
Didn't she look in a mirror before she left the house?

I agree with this.

To me? She does not have a fabulous figure.

That said, she has shown (with the correct styling) that she can look great.

This was not one of those times.

Clownchic is not a thing.

Why have you created that image? It's fine to be critical of her outfits, but that's portraying her in a foolish and demeaning way.

OctopusFriend · 09/10/2026 12:27

I apologise, @occhiali if you were just trying to be humorous about the outfit, I took it as beyond the outfit.

occhiali · 09/10/2026 12:27

She did look foolish.

The outfit was foolish.

Her ‘ever so caring’ false look (which she has done before) was a mockery to Malala.

And, dare I say foolish.

She cosplays humble kind and caring but is anything but.

occhiali · 09/10/2026 12:29

The image was about the outfit and the false expression.

If anyone thinks that outfit was in any way chic and flattering? I’m afraid I think otherwise.

Can I ask a small favour? ….I have just popped back and see that Meghans awful outfit is still in discussion from the last thread and I personally think we can all agree it’s not a good look , however it isn’t the worst outfit she’s worn and it’s filling up the thread a tad , I’m sorry to be a wet blanket but I really have no interest in clothes.

I don't think there's any specific "agreement" between the press and all famous parents not to take photos of their kids.

The Editors' Code, to which most of the mainstream media outlets are signatories, is here

IPSO Editors' Code

With regard to children, it says (Clause 6)

i) All pupils should be free to complete their time at school without unnecessary intrusion.
ii) They must not be approached or photographed at school without permission of the school authorities.
iii) Children under 16 must not be interviewed or photographed on issues involving their own or another child’s welfare unless an adult with legal parental responsibility or similarly responsible adult consents.
iv) Children under 16 must not be paid for material involving their welfare, nor parents or guardians for material about their children or wards, unless it is clearly in the child’s interest.
v) Editors must not use the fame, notoriety or position of a parent or guardian as sole justification for publishing details of a child’s private life.

The Guardian, which is not regulated by IPSO, has the same clause in its own editorial code of practice.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are aware of the interest in their children, because of their constitutional role.
They balance that interest by providing pictures at intervals, allowing privacy for the family for the rest of the time.

Weren't PH and MM supposed to have met up with GH and whatever her husband's name is when they first arrived in the UK? I'm sure I saw a headline about it. Match made in hell heaven - GH and MM - can you imagine?

I still reckon the primary reason for keeping the Hamlets faces under wraps is that they’re not nearly as photogenic as the Wales kids, and HAM can't handle that.

Agree, this seems to be turning into Style and Beauty.

I think this has worked remarkably well.

I understand the calls that they shouldn’t be on display but the first paragraph explains why it would be difficult.

I think the balance has been struck beautifully.

The Sussex children can live their lives in relative anonymity and, if I were the Sussex ma and pa, I would be taking advantage of this. They have the means to ensure this. There is no need to display them.

If they do? One cannot help but think it is for attention seeking purposes. Or worse, merchandising purposes.

They just look so sharp & painful😂entirely unsuitable with the pants. I wonder if she has a stylist now or has she gone rogue? She has had some fabulous fashion moments but this is not one of them.
It was an easy brief as well, afternoon tea in a fancy hotel, a nice cosy jumper dress in autumnal or jewel colours & boots would have been gorgeous & appropriate.
Her outfit reminded me of something Geri Halliwell would wear

Yes. I agree with it being something Jerry Halliwell would wear and if memory serves me well it’s also very similar to something Mohammed Ghadaffi wore.
