Meghan Markle's Sloane Ranger make-over | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4543086/Meghan-s-Sloane-Ranger-make-over.html#reader-comments)
*** Consider the source when reading the article. <_< :Jen:
There will only be one "Sloane Ranger".....while I hear some of that style is coming back, and she might be trying to subconsciously highlight golden days of yore of Harry's mother, I dont know if Sloans would have worn a toque, more hoser than sloane IMO.
But aside from that she looks presentable, and if Harry's happy, what does it matter.
?? There were hundreds of Slaone Rangers... but I suppose it has gone out nowadays, those girls who were upper crust and did odd jobs. Now they are more likely to have a business or a "real job" even if they are not exactly workers
You know what I mean, her face was on the handbook for goodness sake :lol: yes, I think both the idea of idle women waiting to marry doing silly jobs has gone the way of coming our parties, etc.
Besides most of what would be the current crop of English Sloanes have been priced out of the area.
I dont realy think it has, just there are more young upper class women playng at careers thatn in the 70s. And As Meghan IS a career girl and American I don't know waht you mean.
^ I think the DM gets sillier by the minute. That article, unless it's hinting that Meghan is making money by wearing (publicising) British clothing and footwear, which I wouldn't put pass the Daily Fail, certainly cherry picked its photos to illustrate its point (if it has one). The thing is though, which they forgot to mention, is that Meghan has been photographed many times wearing Italian boots, US dresses, Canadian skirts and sweaters, British jackets. Also, all the brands they've shown her wearing are on sale in Canadian stores.
I think Meghan is very pretentious and is dressing and behaving like a caricature of what she thinks is British. It comes off as desperate and not many people are buying it.

I don't see the career girl part. She works because she has to, not because she wants to. Ever since getting with Harry, she has dropped everything that once made her 'career minded'. She even drops filming her main job just to go to London to Harry. She is ambitious alright but not for work. She is searching for praise and validation.
Well, if Meghan works because she has to, she has that in common with about 98% of the human race, doesn't she? Meghan has also got a regular part in a TV series that has been going for seven seasons, not bad in a profession where the vast majority of actors are involuntarily unemployed for most of the time.
I've seen many non British people wear Barbour. It's sold all over the world. And as I've said, they really had to cherry pick those photos in the DM.
She's dropped The Tig which is a pointer in my view to her getting engaged shortly. She probably consulted Harry about it. How many royals do you know that have an active website on food, restaurants, clothing etc? As for dropping everything for Harry she has had about three days off filming since November. Most of her short trips to London have encompassed weekends, and Frdays and/or Mondays, including Victoria Day which was a public holiday in Canada. And Harry has visited her as well.
If 98% of the world works just as Meghan does, why make it out as if it's so novel and special? It's normal so it shouldn't be a big deal. Her dropping everything for an engagement is what everyone has been on Kate for over the years but now it's laudable because of Meghan?
In my opinion, there is no wedding coming soon since they only recently started dating seriously. I think we as the public always allow the press to get us into a frenzy over these things. The same headlines were said of Will, Kate, Chelsy, and Cressida. Look at all the recent weddings of this generation of royals, every one of them had dated for over 6 years before marriage. Eugenie is the most likely to be next for royal marriages. HM and PoW will not okay this because it is simply too soon. I think she dropped the site because she is working on changing her image from beauty blogger to potential princess. She's hoping on an engagement, that doesn't mean it's coming. This happens to many a woman around the world, not just her. Many women hope to marry the man they are dating but it doesn't always work out that way.
I think a calm and rational approach should be taken with regards to this relationship because there is just so much in the way at this point. She hasn't proved herself yet. Whether we like Camilla or Kate or not, they have proved to be long term consistent partners. Meghan has not spent more than one week consistently with Harry. Let them get to know the real version of each other before pressuring to fulfill some sort of public fantasy. As we have seen in Charles' first marriage, fairy tales can turn into nightmares if people don't know what they're getting themselves into.

I
It IS novel for a woman who is in the royal world to be "one of the world's workers. generally such women are socialites who may or may not have steady jobs.. or who may flit round from job to job or charity event to charity event. Kate didn't have steady work, she wanted to remain free to keep up with William. Camilla is of a generation where debs didn't usually have jobs. Diana had part time jobs. So Meg's being someone who has had a steady employment in the world of film acting is unusual. OTOH I gather her family aren't that well off so she DID have to earn her living.. she's been lucky and probably has worked hard at her acting career, though whether she's actually any good, I can't say.
I agree that it is problably way too soon for the PTB to allow an engagement. Even if its not realisitc for them to date for 5 or 6 years, since Meg is already in her 30s and getting on a bit for having children..Im sure the RF will insist that they try their relationship out for longer than a long distance one that 's not even a year in existence. They may suggest that Meg moves to the UK...
I think the engagement will happen when both decide it is time and they are ready to commit. TPTB can't dictate to the couple when to marry, there are various circumstances. If they don't want to marry and break up they will split up. William as I recall called the shots as to when he and Kate would marry. He publicly said he was not ready to marry when all the press talked of their marrying after they completed their degrees.
well yes they kid of can since he has to get his Grandmother's permission, to marry.
They will get it IMO. Since the Queen has three divorced children, two of whom remarried.
I'm sure she does not enjoy that fact, and is not going to be too happy if her grandson is wanting to marry a woman who's already divorced. She will probably give permission but she does nto have to do so.
The Queen will know enough not to be a hypocrite. After admitting the controversial and divorced Camilla into the family. Charles also was divorced as was Princess Anne and they got permission to marry other people. So if she is "unhappy" that her grandson wants to marry a divorcee, did she feel 'unhappy" about Camilla being in? After all, Charles is the heir to the throne.
Sandy, she may give permission, because she wants Harry to be happy. however, she is most likely concerned if he wants to marry a career minded young woman form another culture, who is also a divorcee. She wasn't entirely happy with Camilla joining the RF because of her previous affair with Charles, but their relationship had lasted for 40 years, Camilla is an upper class british woman who has been part of court cirlcles all her life and knows the RF lifestyle, so it was a lot easier for her to fit in
Meghan would certainly give up her career if she married into the family. If she does not want to she is free to mover on. Camilla and Charles did not have a '40 year relationship' she had a relationship with her first husband since 1966 they were married from 1973-1995. Charles was her lover not her husband for some of that time but officially she was the wife of Andrew Parker Bowles. I don't get why it is made to sound she was married to Charles. CHarles also had a wife from 1981-1996. It eludes me how it is determined the relationship "lasted" 40 years. It didn't. She was married to someone else, then Charles was married to another person. She was his mistress which is not like she was married to him. It was not "easy" for Camilla to fit in since she was not Charles' wife but the other woman and it took years after Diana and Charles divorce for her to marry into the family. It was not that she was instantly welcomed. Charles' grandmother for one thing did not want them to marry. Obviously Camilla did not "know" the rules since she needed a mentor and training for several years. As a mistress she did not have to do any royal work.

I agree with
@sandy. Yes the Queen and DoE have two adult children who are divorced and remarried so the BRF has already faced that hurdle during her reign. They're not that different than the rest of the UK with about half of the marriages ending in divorce. IMO one thing that is in Meghan's favor is that her marriage seems to have ended amicably and it doesn't involve any children.
Now one thing that they'd likely hope for is that the couple would have enough time to get to know each other before Meghan takes on a very new way of living. The more recent BRF marriages have been between couples who have know each other many years before marrying, so perhaps they're hoping that they couple might wait a bit before announcing an engagement.

Amabel are you sure you didn't mean that Charles and Camilla's relationship was purely sexual until they both divorced their spouses? If they had been in love for 40 years they would have married back in the early seventies. Camilla wasn't in court circles until she met both APB and Charles. Lets be real here Camilla's family were not the uppercrust that the Spencer family is and Diana was the epitome of upper class British women and it was difficult for her to fit in. The bottom line is unless you were born royal you will never really fit in so regarding Harry and Meghan like William and Kate they will do things on their terms and not be dictated to.

Now
it is true that the queen's children have had experience of divorce, but IMO that does not mean that the queen is very happy with it. She has had to accept it, that marriages do end, sadly and that in today's world it is so common that it was bound to touch the RF at some point. but I think she's been very sensitive to the accusation that her children have a VERY high rate of divorce, ie 3 out of the 4 have had broken marriages and 2 have remarried. And she's a conservaitive Christian- much more old fashioned than many of her citizens. So I think that she's now been willing to agree to her grandchildren having long term live in relationships with people they want to marry, though she problably doesn't really approve of thtat either, but feels it is better than another divorce in the family close to the throne.
If Harry were one of Andrew's children, and wanted to amrry an American divorced woman, she'd problaby feel that that was further away from the throne.. but she would still be anxious that the marriage should LAST. She had to accept Anne and Chalres remarrying, because in both cases they had been involved with Tim Laurence and Camilla, it had become a publicly known affair and generally speaking it was "good form" if such an affair became public for the couple ot marry. so once she felt that the public would accept Camilla marrying Charles (no one cares much about Anne), she was willing to OK the marriage. Perhaps she realised that the Diana and Charles marriage had just been a disastrous mistake and it would have been better if Charles and Camilla could have married back in 1980 or so... but at the time that seemed like something that simply wasn't acceptable.
So she might feel IF Meghan and Harry are in love, and compatible and have had time to get to know each other, and if Meg can fit intot the RF, it might be better to let him marry the girl he loves even if she has had a divorce.
However, the problem is that Meghan IS American, from a different culture. She has a career, which she may find hard to give up as actresses generaly "love to act". and she and H haven't really been able to spend a lot of "ordinary time" together, because they live so far apart.
So when you put it all together, a divorcee, American, not upper class, a career minded woman, who hasn't had a chance to live with H in an ordinary life scenario as other couples like Will and Kate have done and so she may feel that it is a bit dubious how much they really know each other or how well she would fit in with the Royal lifestyle.
Not everybody has "accepted" Camilla but nonetheless, she will eventually be Queen Consort. I don't think the Queen is naive to believe "everybody" or "most" have "warmed to her." Camilla had two small children and a husband in 1980--and with the Queen Mum afraid of another crisis in the monarchy, it would have been extremely unlikely unless Charles gave up his position in line of succession. I don't think the Queen would have thought of Charles marrying someone else. If he felt he did not love Diana and wanted to move on or Diana moved on, Charles would not have married Camilla but someone like Diana who would have been single and perhaps aristo. Americans do not have so "different cultures." She can give up her career and if she says yes to a possible proposal, a career would no longer be an option--except as a career as a working royal. Kate was not "upper class" she had an upper middle class upbringing. And she is married to heir to heir.
Ronald Reagan gave up his "acting career" to be a politician and gave up acting for good and became a President of the USA. He probably loved to act too but he was able to give it up.
Grace Kelly gave up an Oscar winning career to become Princess of Monaco. In her case there was more culture shock as she had to learn French and the European way of life. Princess Grace became beloved by they citizens of Monaco.
My gut feeling is that this is not going to progress beyond the dating stage. I'm not sure why I feel this way but it just doesn't seem to be for the long haul. I really do want Harry to settle down and get married.

Grace wasn't the world's greatest actress and she wanted to get out of Hollywood, but she did miss acting and wanted to go back to it. and it took her quite a time to settle intio the European Lifestyle.

[gmod]Such a shame we have to resort to this yet again....
IMO Meghan is more than just a wearer of clobber - but hey ho, if Members wish to discuss then here is the place. SCxx[/gmod]
Hi
@SophieChloe what do you mean more than just a wearer of clobber? She herself had a site promoting, plugging clothing, accessories. Any and everything of her lifestyle she marketed it personally. Each and All brands, sponsored freebies, she plugged at her TIG website. Her inspiration to open her own site was Gweneth Paltrow.
I suppose all the clothes and accessories she wears now will not be naturally or organically sourced as she previously lived (or tried). As clearly her engagement and first walk as bride, aren' naturally or organically sourced.
These brand new clothes are from actual season promotion, so I'm not sure how there may be sold out items, i.e. USD 600 handbag Contrasting to sold out past year to even 2 years past fashion promotions that are marked on offer a la Kate.
Now, I've taken my time to read tweets from all seasoned Royal correspondents, whom declared there seems to be an exaggeration by various of their colleagues in Meghan Mania, to crowds hundreds rather than thousands. Without pinpointing, the read is quite interesting.
MM is lovely. Great shape. Legs are shapely, but more bony. Kate has great legs.
MM can wear anything. Like Kate, anything. MM will be designers dream .
MM can look good in anything.
Hair is Perfect, Color, Body, Fullness.
Face, sweet, fresh face. Minimal looking makeup.
Posture, perfect.
Sleeveless gowns, one shoulder, she can wear it all. Prints and solids, fine.

Meghan Markle once wanted to be more like Ivanka Trump (http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/12/07/meghan-markle-once-wanted-to-be-more-like-ivanka-trump/amp/)
QuoteShe also built her own line of clothing and jewelry, which Markle admitted she liked to gaze at on her computer, ?staring longingly at the beautiful designs".
QuoteMeghan had also been making her mark in humanitarian circles for a number of years, doing work with organizations such as World Vision, the United Nations, One Young World and Myna Mahila Foundation to gender equality. For International Women?s Day, she penned an essay for Time?s website that the global stigma around menstruation.
I imagine her adoration for Ivanka has changed quite a bit after the truth about all the Trumps has finally been realized.
That TIG article is cringeworthy.

Meghan Markle fans track down engagement shoot replicas | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5206219/Meghan-Markle-fans-track-engagement-shoot-replicas.html)
QuoteWithin hours of their release, bloggers at MeghansMirror.com, which charts the former actress's wardrobe piece by piece, had tracked down the best replica looks on the net - and they come at just a fraction of the price of the real thing.
For fans who want to emulate the future princess's look, MM suggests a $428 (?320) frock by Japanese designer Tadasha Soji along with a string of cheaper options from Aidan Mattox, Unique Vintage and Jessica Howard.
The site also suggests a convincing dupe of her yellow gold and diamond ring - a $45 (?34) 'Diamonique' band from QVC.
They believe they have even tracked down the exact shade of Meghan's nail varnish, a nude hue from Rimmel's Gel Polish that costs just ?5.99.
WOW :runaway:
I have to say that I'm always amazed by people who are really into fashion and accessories in a big way. Within an hour or so or even less they can usually say where an outfit or shoes was bought, the brand, where you can get something similar cheaper etc. Its like their brains are a laser on that particular subject.
@Curryong-I too am amazed at those who can identify what any of the royal ladies or other public figures wear in such a short period of time.
Meghan Markle makes stylish appearance at Sandringham (https://fashion.hellomagazine.com/fashion-news/201712257816/meghan-markle-christmas-day-church-service-fashion/)
The only thing I don't like is the slouchy boots look, she's worn to Nottingham and Sandringham. Perhaps because her legs are too skinny so the long boot tends to slouch. I think with this cold weather, thick tights with ankle boots would favor her.
Or richly weaved long sock boot to hold in place. The expensive kind, the cheaper versions look badly executed.
Even though I have a lot of reservations about MM, I've always said that she is very beautiful and based on her past photos, very stylish and has a good taste, Tig layout and her house.
However so far she's been underwhelming. I did not like the outfit. Coat overwhelms her. Hat doesn't suit her face. Boots are slouchy again.
I've been thinking that she does not look as good as I thought she did since engagement announcement and today I went back to her Instagram to see what was different. It is her eyebrows, makeup and her hair. Some of her Instagram photos are absolutely gorgeous. So far, including her engagement photos, I haven't found her as beautiful.

She is beautiful but I think I know what it is. It's her royal style. Kate had years to get used to the fasinators/coat dresses and royal dressing that everyone loves to call boring but she looked like she fitted in from the start. Meghan hasn't had the time to get a look for these types of events. Hopefully she'll find her way.
Kate is also British, they tend to go full on with hats and fasinators to weddings, whilst in the USA not.
There are loads of pictures of Kate when single doing the very British dress code for such ocassions. Day time weddings in the USA do not dress like the British culture.
http://ris.fashion.telegraph.co.uk/RichImageService.svc/imagecontent/1/TMG8571345/m/kate-blue-coat-sto_1919220a.jpg
^^ That may be the case. Hats and fascinators are tricky. I have no idea what would go well with my face. I've always thought Kate was lucky to have a face that almost all hats suit her. I was looking forward to Meghan's hat game. But this was not the hat for her. She also needs to try more form fitting and structured coats. The UK is cold and she will be wearing a lot of them.
^ I loved Kate's pre-wedding style a lot. She looks so pretty. I liked her style in the first years. But the last few years, she became boring, maybe playing too safe? Maybe because she has little ones she isn't focusing on fashion. I can't put my finger on. But I remember loving to see what she wore, how she looked; not so much now. Pity, because she is very pretty and has a killer body.
Curryong - No, I don't like her so far, I sense her thirst (something I dislike, I don't like people seeking fame and attention) and am surprised her actions, which would draw criticisms if done by others, are mostly excused. But I've always praised her style and beauty and said it would be fun if she joined the BRF, I like fashion. Indeed I praised her beauty again. Like I said, I went to her Instagram to see what was different with her face. I like her with thicker and straight eyebrows and her old makeup suited her better. I also liked how she did different hair styles, she is blessed wit a bone structure that she can try almost anything. But so far, it's been the same hair and I find that boring.
I see, Thankyou. Well, I disagree about Meghan's personality obviously, psm, but at least you are attempting to be fair about her looks.

QuoteIt?s fun to imagine all sorts of soap opera scenarios with this foursome, but we think this appearance indicates just how much of a force they?re going to collectively be for the monarchy in this century. The brothers learned a lot watching their parents? respective relationships play out with the press and the public and we think pretty much every private and public decision they?ve made in the last few years have been about securing and strengthening their image in the minds of the public.
Engagement photos and interview outfit, fine. She needed pantyhose on though.
Enganment photos, no. That dress was too expensive. Whether she borrow3d it or bought it with her own money, no.
Christmas, fine. She looked best yet.
I know I am in the minority but I liked the engagement outfit & thought it suited her very well. But when I look at someone's clothes what they paid for it is not uppermost in my mind. :love12:

Engagement photos and interview outfit, fine. She needed pantyhose on though.
Enganment photos, no. That dress was too expensive. Whether she borrow3d it or bought it with her own money, no.
Christmas, fine. She looked best yet.
@FanDianaFancy- She's only had a few official outings, but so far this is my favorite of her outfits. I also like that her hair has a wave to it.

The velvet wrap dress is lovely although it has a very low cut. I wonder if for lunch she had it altered, if not the plunge is...
I have a few wrap dresses myself, wear them with a bodysuit, if not one would need to wear pasty/tape brassiere.
No way of knowing for sure but chances are she was not showing body parts to the Queen & PP. Or she could have changed.

@wannable-I believe that she could have wrapped it so the neckline was not so low or she could have opted to wear a camisole/body suit in a coordinating or contrasting color. (An extra layer would probably help as the Queen is said to be "thrifty" when it comes to heating at her residences.) :D

Style tip Meghan Markles's picked up from Kate Middleton | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5262357/The-style-tip-Meghans-picked-Kate.html)
QuoteAs a former actress Meghan Markle is well used to dressing for the red carpet and being in the spotlight, but it seems that Prince Harry's future wife has picked up one crucial style tip from the Duchess of Cambridge since moving to the UK to live with her royal beau.
The bride-to-be has been showing off her prowess at diplomatic dressing during her recent public appearances, by wearing a mixture of brands from Canada where she lived for six years and her new home, the UK.
I was wondering how long it would take the media to start giving Kate credit for Meghan's popularity & style. They think we are morons.
All brand stores have a scope of styles and colors, from MM past life to engagement, she wears contemporary fashion, a lot of neutrals white/black, beige or burgundy and dark blue.
Kate has gone through the entire pallet and her style is classic with a bit girly fashion.
The article basically says, MM wore during her latest royal outing clothes from brand stores where Kate has previously and still uses.
QuoteThe bride-to-be has been showing off her prowess at diplomatic dressing during her recent public appearances, by wearing a mixture of brands from Canada where she lived for six years and her new home, the UK.
For instance, she stepped out for her first official engagement of 2018 this week in a scarf by Jigsaw, an M&S jumper and Burberry trousers - all British brands - and a coat by Canadian retailer Smythe.
It's a trick the Duchess of Cambridge often uses, especially on overseas tours - by wearing a local designer while still championing British fashion.
Celebrity stylist Rochelle White told Femail: 'I think most people will see this as a positive message and, a bit like Kate, makes her relatable.
'It shows that she hasn?t forgotten who she is as a person, her home country and what she likes. She is keen to show her love for British fashion but also combines it with designers that she has properly worn for a while.'
This seems like a normal transition from one place to another. Quite likely she did something similar when she moved from CA to Ontario. She incorporated pieces from her old wardrobe with new ones bought in Canada. If her future sister-in-law and UK friends have given her suggestions about which brands are good quality at a reasonable price, that is a bonus for her IMO. :)
IMO Meghan wears the clothes SHE likes and Kate wears what she believes Posh people wear. Just like the silly take voice.
Either way, Kate is beyond rattled......GOOD.
Honestly I believe Meghan has developed her own style as Kate developed her own. Perhaps Meghan has read or does follow the British fashion magazines. I would credit Kate perhaps with hats since Americans or Canadians do not wear them on a regular basis except in Winter.

Who are Hiut Denim, the Welsh fashion company chosen by Meghan Markle? - Wales Online (http://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/who-hiut-denim-welsh-fashion-14173702)]
QuoteCardigan has a long history of making jeans - for almost 40 years the town was home to a factory that made 35,000 pairs of jeans each week for UK retailer Marks & Spencer. But in 2002 the facility closed with the loss of 400 jobs when production was moved to Morocco to cut costs.
So when David, a proud Welshman, was looking to open a factory to start making jeans, he chose the town.
The company name is a combination of the first two letters of his surname and the word "utility".
Now exporting 25% of its jeans, it takes Hiut about one hour and 10 minutes to make one pair, compared with 11 minutes at a highly mechanised jeans industry giant.
A pair of skinny fit jeans like Meghan's will set you back ?175.

QuoteAvoid the high street, ditch the black, and NEVER wear denim again: Etiquette expert William Hanson?s royal style advice for Meghan Markle following her debut engagements
By William Hanson for MailOnline - January 19th 2018, 10:57:34 am
According to etiquette expert William Hanson, Meghan Markle is not on top of her style game. He says she must ditch the black coats and stop wearing clothes from Marks and Spencer.
William Hanson says Meghan must master royal fashion rules | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5287803/William-Hanson-says-Meghan-master-royal-fashion-rules.html)
She's probably emulating Princess Mary of Denmark, a frequent pants wearer and mismatch earring princess. She did it first!
@wannable-Don't forget all of the royal ladies of Spain who have been wearing trousers for years now: Sofia, Letizia, Elena and formerly Cristina. (I've also seen Letizia with mismatched earrings too.)
The Northern European ladies tend to stick with dresses and skirts unless the event calls for pants, but the ladies in Spain are frequent pants wearers.
She is probably emulating herself but if she chooses to take style advice from a royal it should be Letizia.
She always looks so chic like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. I however hate the sloppy boot look. Don't like those at all.

I agree that Letizia is a good fashion role model for Meghan, but the BRF dresscode will require her to wear hats more frequently than than the Spanish royal family.
IMO another pair of good fashion role models outside of the UK would be CP Mary and Princess Marie of Denmark. (However I believe that Meghan is likely closer in size/height to Marie and Letizia.)

QuoteMEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry announced their engagement in November 2017. The couple enchanted the public at a photo call while Meghan?s outfit inspired the designers to sell out. Meghan is known for her slick fashion in various public appearances, but how much has her wardrobe cost since 2017? The price of these lavish garments will shock you.
Meghan Maven @MeghanMaven
QuoteSorry @emilyjhodgkin but this article is terribly misleading and really unfair to #MeghanMarkle ☹️ A lot of the pieces mentioned she owned before moving to the UK and some she has worn for years - also don?t forget, she pays for her own clothes.
The press & her fans are really trying to cover for Kate because the public are outraged about the cost of her clothing, how boring they are & how lazy Kate is.
IMHO the article is just filler until her next scheduled engagement with Harry. :shrug: All royal ladies have extensive wardrobes with Queens/Queen Consorts typically having the largest ones. :Jen: (It comes with the role.) :shrug: We the public are only having out first viewing of Meghan's wardrobe. At this point in time we don't know which pieces were already existing or what items have been purchased since the engagement announcement. For the time being, expect that there will be many more new-to-us outfits in the future. It's going to take time before we start seeing items repeating when she makes public appearances. In the end, the cost of Meghan's wardrobe will be borne by she and Harry along with her father-in-law who will provide a dress allowance for her. :nod:
They said the same thing about Diana and Sarah, we'll see how often she recycles outfits once she becomes a royal. She does have to expand her wardrobe for engagements, multiple changes etc. Other than the engagement picture dress, nothing thats out of the ordinary as far as royals go.
Also we dont know whos paying what for her clothes...
Meghan has made her own money & will continue to receive residuals for years. She can spend her money on anything she wishes.
This is because People are complaining about Kate spending so much on clothes & those blue coats. Except Kate didn't earn any of the money she spends.
The press is going to try & bring Meghan down to promote Kate in the same way they have done through the years with W&H. The problem they will have is H&M will outshine W&K because of the people they all are.
Yes
@Duch_Luver_4ever the press did the same with Diana and Sarah much like they're doing with Meghan now. All of the commoners who have married into a royal family have been required to acquire the necessary daytime outfits, gala gowns, cocktail dresses, shoes, bags, hats, etc...for their new roles. Meghan is fortunate that she's not going to have to add traditional folk costume: ie: Bunad or kimono to her collection.
Also I agree that we do not know the actual price that they're paying for their clothing. (Though I imagine that Charles does remember back to when it was just one royal lady's wardrobe instead of three. :wink: His mother funds Anne and Sophie much like she helped with Sarah's clothing years ago.)
Agreed
@TLLK often royals, or prospective royals get massive discounts paying about 10 percent of retail price due to the added exposure the designer gets with their outfit being so visible. Heck back in the day Diana could have run an auction on the steps of KP getting designers to PAY HER for wearing them LOLZ.
Kate recycles her clothes a good amount, although they then slag her for doing that, so she cant win.
I do think H&M will be more "popular" than W&K due to their personalities, but also their position and role will allow them to be more relaxed than W&K so its a bit of apples and oranges to compare them.
Yes, Charles must be groaning under the bill of an extra woman to keep in fine clothes, but im sure hes good for it LOL.
It does make one ponder though....perhaps its time, or for precisely when HM goes, that Charles looks at setting up some kind of structure similar to the Duchy system for the other royals in the succession line, given Charles success with the Duchy, and the variety of investments, trusts and structures that are available today. It could go either by Dukedom/Earldom now that they seem to use those more than in say the 80s/90s or by position of succession, say the top 4 in line to the throne.
Id imagine Andrew would rather have had something like that for his family than the infighting that will occur once he has to deal with Charles and the civil list, compared to dealing with his mother. Also it would take some pressure off taxpayers and give the RF some autonomy and insulation from public demands over finances.
Since this thread is about Meghan's fashion's & she buys her own clothing I am having trouble seeing how that would bother any royal. If Charles is whining about buying clothing that should go in Kate's fashion thread since she does not have any money of her own.

The infamous black dress takes big slice of the total amount to date. I suppose KP had to jump tweet in response to the shocker cost of the black dress, as she used it for the official engagement photos, copyrights of those photos belong to KP/Duchy of Cornwall.
Photos & dresses are two different things. :D
QuoteAgreed @TLLK often royals, or prospective royals get massive discounts paying about 10 percent of retail price due to the added exposure the designer gets with their outfit being so visible. Heck back in the day Diana could have run an auction on the steps of KP getting designers to PAY HER for wearing them LOLZ.
Yes that is true
@Duch_Luver_4ever and the royal ladies can often have a designer make alterations to a dress etc..so that it allows for more coverage or is a bit more modest. Also a designer might possibly offer a discount if a royal is buying more than one piece from them.
Like I mentioned earlier, Meghan will appear to be only wearing "new to us" items for awhile and then we'll start seeing the outfits or separates repeated. Should she and Harry be blessed with a family, then she'll have her own separate maternity wardrobe too. Should they have more than one child, then she can reuse those pieces again too.
R&R said the price, nothing about discounts though. So when the price was reported, KP announced it was privately purchased, not mentioning who though.
Cloak and dagger black dress situation in the BRF fashion history books.
Kate's fans just can't get over the engagement dress but are great with Kate owning 40 blue coats. :lol:
I doubt Kate has 40 blue coats. She repeats her clothing, hence her year to end total cost did not generate any negativity, scandal.
This is the first time a lady entering the fold carried out a single purchase of a dress paid by 'privately purchased' for the price tag mentioned by R&R of GBP 56,000. It did generate negativity. This won't go away so easily, the official engagement pictures are there to remind everyone for eternity. :unsure:
The only people who care about that dress are Meghan's detractors. The reason they continue to bring it up is because there is nothing negative about Meghan for them to bleat on about.
Meghan Markle Might Get an Allowance from the British Royal Family | InStyle.com (http://www.instyle.com/news/meghan-markle-allowance)
QuoteOnce she marries Prince Harry, Markle will begin benefiting financially just like he does. Prince William and Prince Harry have received $450,000 a year in investment profit from Diana's estate since they each turned 21. Both brothers and Kate Middleton also receive annual seven-figure allowances from Prince Charles, which is how they pay for things like travel and clothing. Still, it remains unclear exactly how much Markle would pocket.
"The key for Meghan and her advisors would be to figure out what type of income she will be getting," said Avani Ramnani, director of financial planning and wealth management at Francis Financial, to BI. "Will this income be from the investments of a trust, or 'wages' for any work that she does, or any other type of income? Sometimes, getting one form of income is more advantageous than another."
The Washington Post has reported that Markle's unique citizenship situation could "cause tax headaches" for the royal family, but until she officially ties the knot with Prince Harry, that remains to be seen.
More information on how Meghan's clothing will be paid for once she marries into the BRF. As a new member she's going to require a very different wardrobe from the one she's had in the past. :Jen:
Well since she isn't part of the BRF yet that means she is spending money she earned.

That's not to say there isn't bad ju ju connected with those rings worn during a failed marriage!

Meghan Markle's four favourite jewellery brands | London Evening Standard (https://www.standard.co.uk/fashion/news/meghan-markle-jewellery-a3741001.html)
QuoteAlthough Meghan Markle has her insane 3-stone engagement ring permanently on her finger, the royal-to-be is still fond of a subtle necklace or a dazzling pair of earrings to finish off a look.
From her acting days to recent royal engagements, the 36-year-old has showcased a selection of chic and subtle jewels that may be small, but certainly should not go unnoticed.
So, although we may never be able to get our hands on an engagement ring as stunning as Meghan's, we sure can copy a few of her other fine jewels.
These are four of the affordable brands she loves.

Meghan Markle wears a tartan Burberry coat and crossbody bag for her visit to Edinburgh with Prince Harry | London Evening Standard (https://www.standard.co.uk/fashion/news/meghan-markle-prince-harry-edinburgh-a3765601.html)
QuoteIn true Meghan and Harry style, the couple arrived at Edinburgh Castle in coordinated ensembles. Harry opted for neutral grey tones with accents of royal blue, while Meghan fittingly sported a navy and bottle green tartan coat.
The ?1,995 double breasted jacket is by British brand Burberry, who are known for their iconic check print and are increasingly becoming one of Meghan's favourite designers.
She looks like Victoria Beckham doing the 7 second walk from car to carpeted floor. Coat too large, pants too long, stiletto heels for the pebble, icy wet, muddy floors. And her hair got stringy, prefer the messy bun look.
Harry has not taken her to the MI5 training, the cross body bag, some lune can pull her, and a scene takes place, rather than avoiding it completely. Wear a clutch, pepper spray fits perfectly, or her handbag, she can hit the lune, like Miss Piggy.
Using a clutch takes up one of your hands to hold & makes it awkward in shaking hands. Not to mention very easy for a thief to grab & run with.
Meghan's purse is safer in the long run. It gives the RPO's an opportunity to nail the culprit & if not then there is no point in having an RPO.
Easy answer...go with a fanny pack. Hands free, secure around the waist. Can be fashioned from multiple fabrics. :coy:
Fanny packs suck.

Meghan Markle Crossbody Bag Breaks Royal Protocol (http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a17809126/meghan-markle-crossbody-bag-royal-protocol/)
QuotePer royal expert William Hanson, royals (and specifically Kate Middleton) always carry a clutch as a means to avoid shaking hands.
"It is protocol that you do not extend your hand to any member of the royal family (blood royal or those who have married into the family) unless their hand extends first," Hanson said. "The Duchess of Cambridge may well prefer not to shake hands with certain people?but there are other ways to achieve this, as used by the Queen and other members of the royal family, [rather] than opting for a clutch over a bag with a strap."
Meanwhile, CNN's Victoria Arbiter says Meghan didn't necessarily break royal protocol, but that "yes, she is doing things slightly differently. We don't generally see a royal with a cross-body bag."

I get it that the grey suits might want her to sound more british, but for gods sake let the women speak like she does, its not like there going to set it up that no one will ever remember or guess that she wasnt from the US.
She could wind up getting one of those awful fake British accents like Madonna or Lindsay Lohan if they mess around with things too much.
Even ppl in the UK in the article said it both ways...be happen if she uses life, boot, bonnet etc. but thats way too nitpicking to change the pronunciation of the same word used in both countries.
Do people in North America say the word for that delicious cake with a hard 'o' or a soft one? I know Scots say scOne but it is pronounced both ways in England as far as I know. In Oz we say 'scon' usually, but I do know that's wrong as the name comes from Scone in Scotland where the dessert originated.
We say it so that it rhymes with bone.
Yes, even at British themed shops they've just gone along with the scone rhymes with bone pronunciation. I've only heard it pronounced scone like in gone when watching British television.

QuotePandemonium is the word that came to John Muscat's mind as the Toronto fashion designer described the day Meghan Markle wore his white wool LINE coat to announce her engagement to Prince Harry last November.
First, his cellphone started going crazy with notifications at 7 a.m. Then, the media started calling.
"It was crazy. The entire globe knew who we were in that moment and that's something that I think very few people ever get the opportunity to experience," said Muscat, who was surprised to see the American actor choose his coat, despite knowing she's a fan of the brand from her years spent working in Toronto.

Tiny brand Hiut worn by Meghan Markle sees huge rise in demand | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5504317/Tiny-brand-Hiut-worn-Meghan-Markle-sees-huge-rise-demand.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailUK)
QuoteMeghan Markle has sparked a royal surge for a tiny British denim firm - and it is moving to a bigger factory to cope with a flood of orders.
Bride-to-be Meghan, 36, caused a 'remarkable' rise in demand after donning a pair of the ?230 black Hiut jeans on a visit to Cardiff Castle with Prince Harry.
Now Hiut Denim Jeans have back orders of three months - and have recruited extra staff after Meghan sported its jeans.
The firm's small team of 20 machinists are pumping out 150 pairs of jeans a week following Prince Harry and his fianc?e's royal visit in January.

QuoteMEGHAN Markle is fast becoming a modern style icon, with every fashion choice she makes scrutinised around the world.
Everything she wears instantly sells out and she is able to catapult smaller labels, unheard of in some parts of the globe, into international success stories.
That?s exactly what happened to New York-based designer Jason Wu when Ms Markle wore one of his designs during the first annual Royal Foundation Forum in London last month.
The $2375 belted satin wrap dress sold out on Net-A-Porter and his brand made headlines around the world.
?When somebody like Meghan wears something of mine, the brand is instantly exposed to every corner of the globe and all eyes are on her. It?s really incredible,? Mr Wu told news.com.au during a visit to Sydney to promote his new fragrance.
The One Detail You Need To Know About Meghan Markle's Northern Ireland Outfit - Look Magazine (http://www.look.co.uk/news/meghan-markle-charlotte-elizabeth-bag-606204)
QuoteThe girl behind the British brand, Charlotte Elizabeth herself, started the company when she was just 21-years-old. With zero training or experience in the industry, she went on to launch her own accessories brand ? with her own designs ? from her bed, having became paralysed.
At the age of 19, Charlotte attended a course through the Prince?s Trust in order to learn about how to set up a business. Sadly, two weeks later, she ?suddenly collapsed? and ?lost all muscle ability within seconds,? she told The Telegraph back in 2016.
But this didn?t stop her.
Despite feeling like she wanted to give up at times, she had something to focus on. ?I thought if I can create something through all of this I can do anything,? she explained. ?That?s why my business is so special to me as it started at the absolute rock bottom. It has been with me through my worst moments.?
Of course, with the Meghan Markle effect in full swing, she?s been inundated with attention since today?s public appearance. ?It was wonderful to see Ms. Markle wearing Charlotte Elizabeth Chestnut Bloomsbury today,? she told us.
Today was HRH The Duchess of Sussex's first official engagement. :Jen:

Meghan Markle Hiut Denim Helps Save Welsh Town | PEOPLE.com (https://people.com/royals/how-meghan-markles-jeans-are-helping-to-save-a-welsh-town/) The small Welsh jeans company is seeing a huge increase in sales since she wore them in Cardiff.
QuoteAccording to Hieatt, it was the British Fashion Council who suggested Hiut to Meghan?s team, no doubt knowing that the socially conscious royal-to-be would be impressed by their bold mission. The small town in the Welsh county of Ceredigion used to be home to Britain?s largest denim factory until 2002, when production moved offshore to Morocco ? putting 400 locals out of work. Hiut?s mission is to find jobs for all 400 machinists, or Grand Masters as he calls them.
More jobs have been added since the company moved to a larger factory.
Quoteearing the brand?s Dina jean in black (a high-waisted, skinny leg style that retails for $246) during an official tour of Cardiff with her fianc? Prince Harry on Jan. 18 has meant major changes for Hiut, the small denim label owned by husband-and-wife duo David and Clare Hieatt.
?In the next four weeks, we are moving into a factory that?s three times the size and we?ve hired eight new people ? the Meghan Markle Effect is real!? says Hieatt from the shop floor of his current factory in Cardigan, Wales.
I think that is a very heartwarming story. Thanks for posting it, TLLK. The company has received a huge boost from this, people's jobs have been secured for the near future, and really it's a win-win! All from wearing a pair of jeans!
KP has confirmed that Meghan has received a pair of pearl and diamond earrings from QEII. They're the classic pair that nearly every royal lady owns. Some are larger in size than others but they're the classic setting of a round cut diamond atop a creamy pearl.
Meghan Markle?s Big Day Out With the Queen (https://www.thedailybeast.com/meghan-markles-big-day-out-with-the-queen?ref=author)
QuoteMeghan was wearing an elegant pair of pearl diamond drop earrings, which, Kensington Palace later confirmed, were a gift from the queen.
It's not uncommon for the ladies in a royal family to have a jewelry tradition be it a special tiara worn by the women in the family on their wedding day to a delicate gold bracelet worn by the princesses in the Danish royal family. I have to say that this might be QEII's tradition for the Windsor ladies.

I will be curious to see if Givenchy continues to be one of Meghan's favorite labels. TBH I liked their dress worn in Chelster a little more than her wedding dress, but so far they seem to be of a style that she prefers.
Will Meghan Markle choose Givenchy as her go-to designer? | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5848151/Will-Meghan-Markle-choose-Givenchy-designer.html)
Quote'When you find a designer and style that is flattering to you, it is easy to continue to with that,' Miss White said. 'The Duchess knows what works for her and I feel that this is a representation of her style.'
Similarly the Duchess of Sussex is likely to add more Givenchy pieces to her wardrobe.
Miss White said: 'I feel that Givenchy is a good fit for Megan, due to their style and trends. They have a way of keeping things classic, and elegant but with a trendy edge.'
She added: 'It?s a way to keep to her true style without compromising on her royal status.'
The ensemble also featured a belt branded with the Givenchy logo and a bag with the brand name printed on the front.
Meghan Markle?s Royal Ascot Triumph Happened Without a Stylist | Vanity Fair (https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/06/meghan-markle-no-stylist)
QuoteTaking her seat alongside the Countess of Wessex and opposite her husband Prince Harry and Prince Edward in the third carriage of the royal-carriage procession, which marks the opening of the royal meet, Meghan showed she has mastered two tricky feats?millinery and high-society dressing.
Having forged a close relationship with her wedding-dress designer, Clare Waight Keller, the artistic director at Givenchy, and Philip Treacy, the go-to hat maker for the royals, Meghan entrusted the formidable duo to ensure she looked picture-perfect in her buttoned-up, bias-cut, bespoke Givenchy frock, which she paired with the elegant head piece which met the strict royal-enclosure prerequisites. After being blasted by the hard-to-please fashion brigade over the $5,490 Oscar de la Renta wrap dress she wore to a society wedding over the weekend, Meghan was taking no chances Tuesday.
WHAT???? I thought Harry was her stylist!!! I read it in the Daily Fail. :wink:
Yes, TLLK, and Harry was supposed to have personally visited the studio of a particular designer and chosen several designs and paid for them, with his own fair hands! Assistants there said so!
Actually, the idea of Harry paying any attention to women's clothing in any way at all is very amusing. In another forum is a thread on the clothing of Royal males. Harry's scuffed suede shoes and blue pants he wears for ever (not to mention his blue suits) have become an in joke there.
I once suggested, here on RI I think, that Harry threw that suit on the floor of his bedroom after each engagement, where it remained until the next time. I also said once that suit could find its own way to engagements he'd worn it so much!
This was a guy who in his early twenties often wore hoodies with loose hipster jeans so you could see his undies! The idea of this bloke suddenly turning into a fashionisto in his thirties, who supervises his wife's wardrobe and chooses her outfits is just laughable.
Perhaps he loves Meg so much he has learned about Fashion for her..
This is why Meghan Markle always wears shoes that are too big for her (https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/6591536/meghan-markle-shoes-too-big/)
QuoteUpon closer inspection, it appears there's at least a half-centimetre gap between the back of the shoe and her heel.
You could be forgiven for thinking a super stylish millionaire wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of ill-fitting shoes.
After all, it's hardly likely they were the last pair left in the sale.
According to Fabulous fashion expert Harriet Davey: "Celebs often go a size up, or even two, in the shoe department when they're at an event or on the red carpet and it's for one reason we can all relate to - to avoid blisters.
"There's nothing worse than uncomfortable shoes (we've all been there on a night out) and when celebs like Meghan are wearing heels for a long period of time their feet can often swell up."
She explains: "The swelling can cause blisters and in the long run bunions - like long-time heel fan Victoria Beckham has been rumoured to suffer with."

Good color for her IMHO as she has the warm skin tone to wear it. :Jen:
QuoteAs the royal family gathers to celebrate the christening of Prince Louis in London today, Meghan Markle wore an olive green Ralph Lauren dress and matching hat by Stephen Jones for the occasion. This marks the second time the new royal, who typically sticks to neutral-hued ensembles, has worn color in the past week.
A vision in olive green, the Duchess of Sussex arrived to the Chapel Royal of St. James' Palace for the ceremony alongside Prince Harry. The couple entered the church behind Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
I'm not a great fan of olive green to be honest, for myself, anyway. I think it requires Mediterranean type dark hair and skin tones to wear it well. I liked her shoes though and her little pony tail. Made a refreshing change.
Wish that we had better shots of her earrings today. :) Gold jewelry would work well with olive green.
Because the vast majority of Meghan's jewellery is tiny and delicate, in contrast to say Maxi's, it is often hard to get a good look. However, she is a fan of gold jewellery, so I'm sure that she did wear gold earrings.
(I'm a fan of the 'If you've got it, flaunt it school', which is probably why I like Maxima so much. I'm reminded of an anecdote about Princess Margaret and Elizabeth Taylor, who wore a huge rock of a diamond ring given to her by Burton to a party at which Margaret was a fellow guest. Margaret passed some remark about large jewellery being vulgar, at which Elizabeth allowed her to wear the ring for a few minutes. 'There!' Elizabeth said. 'Not so vulgar now, is it?')

I'm very much afraid that there won't be brooches of any kind, in Meghan's future, at least until she's the Queen's age. :P She's an extreme minimalist, even more so than Kate.
I don't go out bedecked in huge pieces of jewellery myself, but I do love to see bling on those who wear it well. For instance there are royals who can rock the big tiaras. And I like the unusual pieces that only Maxi can get away with. Unfortunately Meghan, and Leti, whose fashion sense I very much admire, usually put on a pair of earrings and perhaps a delicate bracelet, and that's the extent of it.

Regarding Meghan's reported "wardrobe malfunction" <_< by the tabloids, IMHO it was simply a camisole.

That being said I can safely predict the headline "wardrobe malfunction" will continue to appear for the next few years anytime there is an errant breeze or Meghan simply moves and we catch a glimpse of undergarments or body part. :shrug: Thanks to today's cameras and the incessant need for the tabloids to publish any photo, this generation of royal ladies do have a more difficult time of it than their predecessors in the past decades.

I like this outfit for the Endeavour Awards. It's very chic. Like the outfit, shoes, hair, makeup, everything.
It was a very elegant outfit for last night's awards ceremony.
Yes, I think it was. Though how anyone can wear killer heels while heavily pregnant is beyond me, much as I like those shoes. (I just winced when I saw Madeleine of Sweden in very high heels just before giving birth.) And Meghan was in good spirits at the award ceremony and looking healthy. That is the main thing.
However, I think that trip to Morocco should be her last flight on a plane until after April. The next two months will mean more physical discomfort for Meghan without sitting in a confined spot for hours!
For the POW's BP 50th anniversary celebration of investiture, Meghan is repeating all accessories I think, minus the dress, which is new.

I like it but IMO it's a bit "shiny" for a daytime event. At this point in her pregnancy, I have to wonder if this was a last minute substitution. Perhaps her original choice no longer fit?
Probably. I remember that problem in the last couple of months of pregnancy. Everything was always quite tent-like in my day, though.
I would have loved to see the dress without the coat. Short, Mid, 3/4ths, or long sleeve dress? And if the sleeves follow the pattern and textile of the shiny brocade.
The coat toned down the shine though, so I think it's good.

Yes. You could plan every item down to the last button and then...it doesn't fit. I wonder if the dress is sleeveless and that's why she's opted to wear her coat?
She may have taken the coat off later. This shows the outfit in another light.

Brave and modern: the message behind the Duchess of Sussex's baby debut dress (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/royals/brave-modern-message-behind-duchess-sussexs-baby-debut-dress/)

The white dress made a nice contrast to the richness of St George's Hall, I thought. Of course like every new mum Meghan has a bit of tummy there and the dress accommodated that, but she still managed high heels I see! I would have preferred to see her comfortable in flats but of course they were about to lunch with the Queen and PP so had to be a bit formal.
Also there could have been a pair of lower heeled shoes waiting for her to slip into after the photocall. Very blustery May weather across the UK today so St. George's Hall was an appropriate and splendid setting IMO.
New ring spotted on Meghan's left hand along with her wedding set. Appears to be a circle of diamonds. (Catherine received a similar ring I think after George was born.) I'm guessing it is a gift to commemorate the Sussexes' first wedding anniversary and/or for Archie's birth. :vday2: :wub:

QuoteMeghan is wearing a third ring on her ring finger - a delicate pave-set band - alongside her engagement and wedding rings.
She seems to be doing well with motherhood and marriage - the ring symbolizes that at least.
Fans noticed a change to the the band of her engagement ring after viewing close ups of her rings from the Trooping the Color. :Jen: It appears that the band now features pave diamonds. :Jen:

QuoteIn photos from Trooping the Colour, the ring looks like it has been reset, and now features a thin micro-pav? band, as opposed to the original solid yellow gold one. It's difficult to tell if the diamonds were altered as well.
Has Meghan Markle redesigned her engagement ring? | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7174203/Has-Meghan-Markle-redesigned-engagement-ring.html)
QuoteThe jewellery expert pointed out the difference in the band, saying: 'She now has little diamonds set down the sides of her engagement ring and the band also seems thinner than before.'
She also revealed that the glittering band only emphasised the Meghan's diamonds, and added: 'The diamond setting on the band looks like micro-set, this means there is very little metal in between the stones maximising the sparkle of the tiny diamonds.'
If this is the case, then Meghan is not the only royal lady who has had additions to her original ring. Denmark's CP Mary added additional diamonds to her ruby/diamond engagement ring. :happy:
It's a beautiful simple engagement ring, the thinner and adding tiny diamonds to the ring itself makes it look more glam and bling.
However there is speculation that this is a "temporary" ring rather than a redesign of the original.
Temporary? I don't understand. Harry will give her a new bigger or whatever engagement ring?
@wannable-Sorry should have mentioned that this could be a costume piece for Meghan to wear until her original ring fits again. It's very possible that her fingers had swollen to the point that it was too tight. Also this ring might have "smoother" edges and she could wear it without fear of scratching Archie by mistake.
I think pave diamonds have been added very recently to the engagement ring because the eternity ring that Meghan seems to have been given as a present for either Archie's birth, their first wedding anniversary or both by Harry, also contains tiny diamonds. The gold band on the ring is narrower, like the eternity ring. It makes it a more cohesive whole IMO.
My own taste is for the three rings to resemble each other as much as possible. So my engagement ring is white gold with a sapphire and a diamond each side, my wedding ring is white gold and the eternity ring is white gold with tiny sapphires and diamonds. All matches.
Harry may well have suggested the change and it was certainly done with his permission and consent. I certainly can't see Meghan changing her ring on her own. It apparently was changed by the Royal jeweller. It's got a narrower band and pregnancy may have made the old band too tight.
Crown Princess Mary has certainly added to her engagement ring over the years by adding diamonds. The wife and couple's choice.

Now it looks quite similar to her Trevor engagement rings with the added little diamonds around the ring.
Quote from: Curryong on June 25, 2019, 04:25:39 AM
^ I can't understand what on earth possessed Joachim to think that ring was a good idea for Marie. It's always good when the woman involved can be consulted a bit before going with these 'good ideas at the time'. What was Alexandra's like? Can't remember, will have to look it up!
And I think Harry should have consulted Cleave's the Royal jeweller, as they are more used to the jewellery side of things than the firm he went to. Dainty rather than clunky is always better, IMO.
Alexandra had a "flag" ring too but it is a bit different than Mary's. I noticed that Marie tends to wear a ring that the late Prince Henrik gave her more than her engagement ring.

QuoteStella McCartney has been slammed by social media users for plugging one of her coats worn by the Duchess of Sussex on Remembrance Day.
Meghan Markle wore a ?1,545 belted wool Stella McCartney coat to watch the poignant Remembrance Sunday commemorations from a balcony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall.
But the designer, 48, then used an image of the royal to advertise the coat on her Instagram account.
McCartney said: 'So honoured to have HRH Duchess of Sussex in our Autumn '19 coat at Remembrance Day service. x Stella.'
She later deleted the post after it sparked a furious backlash from social media users, who labelled the post 'insensitive', 'inappropriate' and 'tacky'.
I really liked the coat that Meghan wore on Sunday, but agree that using a photo of her in the advertising the day after was not entirely appropriate. Ms. McCartney could have shown the coat sans Meghan and just mention that the Duchess is one of her clients.

I'm sure the fashion industry adores her, because she is willing to take risks and wear more imaginative clothes. However, many of them are stylish but OTT and don't flatter her. In her shoes I would not want to be a guinea pig for way out fashion design. She is lovely and can look so beautiful in the right clothes.
What on earth does queen of Style mean? Megan's clothes nearly always look sloppy and wrong...
Well for what?s it worth Catherine is in the Vanity Fair fashion hall of Fame. This was before anyone outside of suits had heard of Meghan Markle

I don?t think Kate is particularly fashionable, but she pretty much knows what she feels good in and what she can wear well. She has learned as she goes, too. I?m pretty sure she is in charge, rather than the designers.

well Kate's clothes are OK but nothing special. but then the RF isn't really meant to do High Fasion. I think that K dresses nicely and appropriately.. but she's not original in her clothes thinking. However, nothing jars the eye. Meghan just tends to look messy..
No female royal has given the British fashion industry the huge boost that Diana did for over a decade. Nevertheless, in her 18 months or so in the BRF Meghan has won several industry awards and been on named several lists collated by fashion experts, so I'm afraid they disagree with you about Meghan's fashion sense.
Probalby.
to me, anyone saying meghan and kate are well-dressed, elegant or style icons are in itself syncophants and nothing more... if they were socialites, this same people/mags will be shaming their dress styles
I don't see anything wrong with Kate's dress style. It is attractive and does not jar the eye. Meghan usually does, because she looks untidy. But it seems that that s what fashions are meant to look like now...
kate is quite frumpy. and meghan is over-the-top and sloppy.
I don't see anything messy about Meghan's wardrobe. Sometimes Kate dresses a bit too "matronly" for someone still in her thirties. There were some fails like the retro 1940s dress she wore to Pippa's wedding. It just did not fit right on her and it would have been better for someone older. Kate and Meghan have long hair that should be pulled back. Kate's free flowing locks sometimes require her constantly pushing the hair from her face. Meghan also looks better with her hair pulled back.
but is fair says many people (including me) see meghan as sloppy... it's all over the internet... many dont see meghan as a elegant woman.

Maybe that is the reason I am out if sync regarding Meghan?s clothes. I think you are right...it is what is in style right now, and I just don?t like what is in style. That said I think she is lovely. Her smile is pretty and genuine, and I think she looks good with hair either up or down. None of us has the perfect figure, but I always think it?s best to choose what looks best on you and what is in fashion is second. Clearly That?s not what Meghan does. For what it?s worth, I am not into Catherine/Meghan comparisons. I think they are both beautiful women, smart, and serious about their work.
QuoteI think you are right...it is what is in style right now, and I just don?t like what is in style
I have the same feeling about a few of the more popular fashions that many of the royal ladies have chosen in recent years. I prefer a more tailored look and that's not always what the designers are promoting.
The looser fit in trend fashion is 'in', rather than 'fit' (not tight, smoothing fit here there everywhere). People like it because it does cover body parts the wearer may feel insecure about (rather than the use of imperfections) i.e. the best example are jeans, today one can find in stores and any clothing sight harem jeans, baggy (loose) here there everywhere including the t crotch section is all the way down the knees, rather than the traditional jeans. Woke. :P

True, I sometimes look at the pics of Kitty Spencer who is a model for Dolce Gabbani I believe and wears their clothes.. and they tend to look fussy and messy... and not IMO attractive at all. But I presume that's what they are supposed to look like...

I agree, but since the current fashion is either Sloppy and untidy or overly fussy, they have to choose their clothes carefully so as to not appear out of touch.

:xmas7:
Double post auto-merged: December 20, 2019, 12:40:18 AM
Of the two that Meghan has worn, I prefer the nut brown one from 2017.
Wh would she be borrowing jewellery when she's living in the US, there's no reason at present for her to wear fancy jewellery and she is not a working royal.
At present, her own jewelry. The (early) 2019 article really had to do with their Australasian tour October 2018. Allegedly Meghan wanted to wear a tiara at a Black Tie Fiji dinner.
It may be another one of those misinterpretations.
I'm sure she will though receive ''new'' jewelry gifts from Harry and maybe Charles and the Queen. The old personal jewelry is passed down to the future King/Queen; Charles, William, George...
Why will she get anything from the queen or Charles? Im sure that she is not very highs on their favourites list in the past year. Harry can buy her jewels, he's her husband. I dont see why the RF will buy or lend her jewelllery.
QE lends jewellery for official events. If Meghan is not doing those then why would she need them.

I don't know, because Harry's family is traditional, aristocratic?! My family is one of the oldest in Australasia, we still give to the blacksheep, new things, the old passes on to safer hands. So milestones like childbirth is gift giving, count in (new keepsake, i.e. gold bracelet with a medallion) jewelry to mummy and baby.

Meghan always managed perfectly well with wearing jewellery at engagements and will continue to do so in the future when she appears at events.
It was said that Charles gave Meghan several pieces when she married Harry such as a Cartier bracelet. And she has some jewellery from Diana like the amethyst cocktail ring. Harry got half of his mother?s private jewels, and Meghan doesn?t appear to care for huge hulking pieces of jewellery such as the BRF wears anyway.
The question was, will she get loans or gifts of jewellery from the RF in the future? ANd no, she wont because she's not a working royal...

Sara, I DID hear today from several youtube channels, amateur or retired professional readers mention the thread you opened to ELLE Magazine. I am not a subscriber to their weekly mag issue, but having some youtubers read it, this is basically what was said:
Harry called the Queen beginning of last week requesting her to loan Meghan some jewelry for the upcoming Vaccine event, the Queen said No. I'm not clear what ELLE Magazine was referring to the Diana pieces, these youtubers sound like IF the split of goods between brothers of all the chest of jewels is not true, only certain items, everything else has to be requested on loan, and that too seems to have been negated to Harry as well.
It sounds like nonsense. Why would MEghan want to wear jewellery right now? its not a time for dressing up fancily. And why would Harry have to ask the quen for his mother's own jewels???? He inherited half of Diana's property, and that included her jewellery.
I really don't care for ELLE magazine or PEOPLE and US WEEKLY :laugh:
Just happened to hear it in several youtube royal round up news by several youtubers; a mix of Australians, US Citizens and Caribbean (Jamaican and Barbados) and one South African.

Yes, the ELLE article in question via these youtube readers sounded vindictive with Diana's jewelry. To be clearer, they sounded like IF Meghan had absolutely nothing from Diana, that all the jewelry is under lock and key and the system is via loan request. :partaay: So ELLE is implying Harry left his part of DIana's jewelry at KP? The Tower of London? Before splitting by to Canada December 2019? And let's pretend that ELLE :laugh10: is a true story, Harry came back with Meghan for 1 week in January before splitting again, and William said nope not giving you access? Or the Queen via her Tower of London via her yeomen warders said nope.
I don't take none of the 3 mags seriously, only pictures from Just Jared, which will never be published in the UK.
That story depends on whether you believe a magazine report and the chatter on YouTube/Twitter!
As if Harry would be ringing up asking for the loan of some of Diana?s jewellery for Meghan at a Californian TV event at which they were co-chairs! Hardly a red carpet event and much of it will be virtual I would expect.
And who would be responsible for the insurance for this jewellery while it was flown to the US, then in the Sussexes? possession and later flown back again to London? That sort of thing happens only rarely, and purely on royal tours.
If Meghan has to borrow anything there are dozens of prominent LA jewellers who would be only to glad to lend her a necklace or earrings.
William and Harry split Diana?s PERSONAL jewellery. All the rest (which consisted of jewellery Diana had received as per her position as Princess of Wales, with the exception of some wedding gifts given by relatives) went back into the royal vaults.
That is what happens to all ?official? royal jewellery after divorce or death. For instance almost all the QM?s personal jewellery went to Prince Charles as a bequest. That included the Grenville collection that Mrs Ronnie Greville left her as a friend when she died. It was a personal bequest and so not required to be given back to the Royal Collection.
why menton the story?? Its obviously complete and utter nonsense. Harry has half of Diana's jewels, if he wants to use them now at a time when most people aren't exactly doing red carpet events, well words fail me. And if he went off to the US and didn't make arrangements for storing his mothers jewels somewhere he could access them, again words fail me. Why do peole believe every silly story that comes out?
I don't blame the youtube readers, they do a round up of ''royal'' news around the world, they make sure to mention which media/journalist and then proceed to read.

Yes indeed. I?m always glad to see Meghan wearing colours as I don?t like monochrome, which she seems to prefer, very much. And the poppy shirt dress flatters her I think. Her hair and makeup look lovely too.

What do you mean!! In past times as a single man Harry?s old faithful blue suit became a joke here on RI and other forums. I used to say that it could have attended engagements on its own it was worn so many times.
Then came a brief period (the Queen?s Diamond Jubilee year) and the Caribbean tour where he blossomed out in stone coloured and navy blue and cream suits and no more old faithful. Wonder where it is now!
It?s been replaced by the perpetual grey suit over the last few years, but after Covid I?m hoping for some lightweight Californian wear, and so Harry might reappear here!

CP Haakon of Norway has a pair of brown shoes he?s worn in public on every occasion for years, getting shabbier and shabbier and that has turned into a real joke in TRF male royal fashion thread. I suppose some males just don?t care about clothes and these two are perfect examples!
Although Harry did use to have some good ties at one stage, baby rabbits I remember and flying pigs designs.
I have a tendency to wear a comfy pair of shoes continuously until they fall apart. Currently its a pair of LL Bean leather slides that I have been wearing everyday for months. I have weird feet and it's hard to find something that fits and comfortable. So when I do :blush:
So the attachment to an old pair of shoes I understand. But buy several pairs so you can switch them out, guys. I also believe that the shoe battle is one wives may need to back away from. MM and Meghan may just need to turn a blind eye. :P
I have very strange feet, very wide ones with a high instep so I too understand about feeling comfy in a broken-in pair of shoes. Hi there Haakon and Harry!
We?re in the depths of winter at the moment and in lockdown as well so I am practically living, until bedtime, in a lambswool-lined pair of ugg boots that literally are falling to bits. Memo, Must get a new pair. However, royals being constantly photographed, males and females, should have a varied wardrobe, including shoes, even if it?s only for observers to be able to say ?Oh not that old thing again!? (The clothes not the royal!)

@Curryong- :friends: We're obviously related when it comes to our feet!
By the way here is the most complete fashion gallery that I've found for Meghan. From 2012 to her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017 to her fortieth birthday in 2021: evening, casual, maternity and official royal duties.
Meghan Markle Style - Photos of Meghan Markle's Best Fashion Moments (https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/fashion-trends/g3272/meghan-markle-preppy-style/?slide=48)
My feet only allow me certain types and makes of shoes. They are very strict! Yours are obviously the same!
Thank you very much for the Meghan fashion gallery. I?ll enjoy seeing it.
I have the exact same issues. I can only wear thong sandals because of my high instep. I have a very difficult time finding boots that will fit my feet. I typically have to go up a half size to accommodate my width.
Meghan on the other hand doesn't appear to have this problem.
Glad that you liked the gallery from Town and Country. :happy:
Here's Meghan's Sapphires for September.
She's worn some sapphire pieces most notably earrings, but it's not a gem that we've seen her wear routinely.

She also owns a pink sapphire ring that has been seen recently after she announced her second pregnancy.
Meghan Markle Wore $1,114 Ring That Paid Tribute to Canada (https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-wore-pink-ecksand-ring-candadian-roots-021-2)
QuoteThe Duchess of Sussex wore a $1,114 pink sapphire and diamond ring at her first appearance since announcing her pregnancy.
Meghan Markle wore the ethically-sourced ring by Canadian brand Ecksand during an appearance at Spotify's Stream On virtual event on Monday with Prince Harry.
Diana loved sapphires and diamonds and had a large cache, most of the pieces returned to the Royal Collection following her divorce.
However, of her private collection I do find it very very strange that, though Diana?s private jewellery was supposed to be divided equably between her sons, the only pieces of any great value that I have ever seen Meghan wear has been an aquamarine cocktail ring.
No diamond and sapphire earrings or large sapphire engagement ring for her, apparently. Where are the equivalent pieces? If Harry had any jewellery of any great value given to him, one would have thought his wife would have been seen wearing them, but no. Not divided equally at all, perhaps.
Meghan Markle news: Prince Harry's wife has 'not inherited' more Princess Diana jewellery | Express.co.uk (https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/style/1415236/meghan-markle-princess-diana-jewellery-inherited)
QuoteFans of the late Princess of Wales may be hoping to see more of her iconic jewels on the Duchess of Sussex. Has she inherited more?
Jewellery expert Charlotte White, head of design at 77 Diamonds, does not believe Meghan has inherited any other jewellery than the pieces mentioned above.
She told Express.co.uk exclusively: "Given Meghan?s readiness to embrace Diana?s legacy and fondness for some of her pieces, it is a difficult question whether Meghan has inherited anything else from Diana.
"On the one hand, she has not publicly displayed reluctance to use her late mother-in-law?s pieces.
I believe that Meghan has selected the items from her late mother-in-law's personal collection that suited her contemporary taste ie: the aquamarine statement ring, the gold bracelet with blue stones (lapis lazuli?) and the butterfly earrings with the blue stones. (I don't see her wearing the matching choker necklace with the butterfly.) Or she's considering having any other pieces that are in her possession redesigned. As we know, Meghan's engagement ring does have stones from Diana's collection and they may have been used when the ring was enhanced with additional diamonds. I simply cannot see Meghan who has displayed a very minimalist style wearing some of Diana's 80's and early 90's pieces.
As we were veering more into a discussion about Diana's jewelry and what happened to it after her death, I've split the topic and moved it to Diana's forum. Please continue the discussion in that thread. Thank you

I am curious about why would Meghan inherit any of Diana's jewelry as Diana did not even know she existed? If Harry had any of his mother's jewels then I would like to think he gave them to his wife, Meghan. Meghan could not personally inherit any jewels from Diana ever. Whatever the boys got or took from the collection of this mother is on them, not anyone else. And we really don't know who got what as it has never been published that I know of. The Express is imho just trying to create ill and bad feelings for they know nothing more than we do.

A very strange headline as of course Diana never met either daughter-in -law. IMO it was just a way to earn clicks. So of the pieces that Meghan has been seen wearing they appear to be her preferred contemporary style in gold.
Posts related to the jewels reportedly inherited by William and Harry from Diana's estate are moved to Diana's jewelry thread. Please continue the discussion there.
Dianas Fashion and Jewelry All Years (http://www.royalinsight.net/forum/index.php?topic=81236.msg1375278#msg1375278)
So sorry, TLLK. I had only just finished my long post and posted it when I saw your notice. Could you Please move it to the Diana thread? Very sorry!
De nada! Done :high5:
But as usual, with Meghan?s jewellery, they include her engagement ring (with a guestimate as to the ?price? of course, as well as many of the other pieces.) They used to do this regularly with her clothes and jewellery aiming at her so-called extravagance.
Since when have pieces like engagement and eternity rings been snidely focused on in royal photos? Does the Fail inevitably write down the value of Kate?s engagement ring at every appearance or Camilla?s or the Queen?s jewellery? No.
Just a continuation of the ?they live in an 11 million dollar mansion? that appears in every tabloid article on Harry and Meghan. No mention of course of the value of Anne?s country estate. The clickbait from all these articles has been keeping them in business for the past four years.
I think it's great for the jewelry thread (and when the DM or specialized accounts do the clothes too). There's a market for people who like seeing (and purchasing too) clothing shoes and accessories. Sometimes famous people do influence the fashion department. Related, the history and point of the MET gala is that, although most of the dressed up people look wacky.

Celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz fashioned the piece out of a gift of diamonds that the couple received from the Middle East.
Multiple sources have confirmed that the gift initially arrived for Harry, but that the Duke of Sussex then gave it to his wife, who turned to Schwartz to rework them.
Schwartz also turned the same set of diamonds into stunning convertible earrings with the same exquisite emerald cut, which Markle wore to the 2019 Trooping the Colour ceremony as simple studs.

Day 1 and 2 Meghan is wearing Autumn/Winter clothing. I've read/seen fashion critics, basically NYC weather 80 degrees end of summer, followed by the 'cost'. I feel for her, IMO she is covering the baby weight gain. ☮

Details of both days Meghan's Mirror - Chronicling the Chic, Classic and Casual Style Duchess of Sussex (the former Meghan Markle) (http://www.meghansmirror.com/)
Meghan's Mirror is the best for all MM fashion.
I love the colour red on Meghan, hate neutrals/monochrome anyway. She may be still nursing (probably left bottles for Lili back in California) and is wary of leakage perhaps. In normal circumstances I love her in bright coloured dresses, not so fond of the wide-legged pants.
True about the nursing. I find the critical fashion articles were bordering to body shaming. So I decided to add what I think are the best pictures available and Meghan's Mirror which of course is 100 percent support and MM fashion fan page.
I think I will use only the MM blog in this fashion thread. Note: That blog is all good, it's only fashion. No cray stuff like the Kaiser Celeb blog.
The red is pretty, yet why is it being called a coat? It is more of a jacket than a coat which is full length. I recently bought a jacket similar to that in redwood, a new color for fall. Short jackets seem to be in style this fall in very pretty colors.
Meghan should consider adding more items in this color to her wardrobe. It looks wonderful on her.
Well, nobody can object to Meghan?s outfit at the Global Citizen concert as being unseasonable here. I think she looks lovely in her white dress; hair and makeup and shoes perfect.

It looks from this that Meghan is, as wannabie previously suggested, still carrying some post-baby fat from Lili?s birth. And if she?s still nursing the fit around the chest area could be problematic as well.
Yes she is likely still nursing and is dealing with an ever changing postpartum figure.

I have to admit that after the Oprah interview I can't look favorably upon her, but honestly, it probably was not apparent that the outfit was so expensive. Anyway, she would be expected to dress well for that event.

The centre is set with the detachable brooch of ten brilliant diamonds.? Queen Mary sometimes wore the tiara with other brooches in place of the County of Lincoln Brooch, which is shown in detail here.
And since it's October, here's Meghan wearing a pair of opal stud earrings.

Meghan's red gown worn to the Intrepid gala on Nov. 10, 2021 has been identified as Carolina Herrera. She was also wearing her Birks diamond earrings, a gold Cartier bracelet, her late mother-in-law's diamond tennis bracelet. Her shoes are by Guiseppe Zanotti. Almost camouflaged by the red fabric is the red poppy that she is also wearing.

I don't like the fit of that CH dress. The waist of that dress makes her look thicker, the back also - Carolina surely (should have) noted that it's like a bra digging into her skin?! First Givenchy lady jobless. I love Carolina Herrera, think they should have more say and fix the details that in an evening dress is sooooo important. One little bad detail just runes the entire look, it's hard not to see.

The CH drawing of the dress.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FD6mltjX0AAgrj-?format=jpg&name=small)
This type of dress IMO would look great for tall and very slim, like the model in the drawing.
Officially Carolina Herrera wasn't involved in the fitting. Apparently there was no fitting. Her stylist though should have an expert seamstress. OR better yet, tell M that dress is not a good fit for her. Not only it makes her look thicker, one can see the skin crease/roll, the empty spots to fill the breast.
It's a no for me. Althought the red is fab, one of my fav colours.
Taller, slimmer, different body type. The colour is lovely and suits her. The dress fit and style were all wrong.

Massimo Dutti Archives - Meghan's Mirror (http://www.meghansmirror.com/product-tag/massimo-dutti/)
I'd like to add that I am very jealous of Meghan's winter attire as most of us living in Southern California don't usually have the need to have more than one dressy long coat. We mostly make do with a more utilitarian short coat with a hood that is used for everything. Yes a native Southern Californian would consider the mid fifties to be VERY COLD for a daytime temp. I have a feeling that Meghan probably misses living where there are real seasons after residing in Illinois, Ontario and the UK. :snowflake:
Where in Ontario she would be able to enjoy all seasons in a 24 hour period. It was 15 C and sunny yesterday, then rain and wind and now it -15 C and a blizzard. She would get to wear all her wardrobe.
Yep joys of Canada. Lived in Alberta for ten years of my life. The saying there 'if you dont like the weather wait five minutes'.
Where I am now lot less cold and the weather tends to be more predictable. Tons of snow though.
Meghan has learned well living in Canada how to both warm and stylish. She has a few coats I'd love to steal.
She would need them in Toronto. Not much snow but wind! Comes off the lake and funnels through the buildings. Three hours north of Toronto I?m enjoying a windless, sunny bright day with about 4 inches of fresh snow that fell last night. So pretty.
Chicago is apparently notorious for its wind as well. No way I?d be able to live in either city I?m afraid, though I visited Toronto briefly. At the moment here it?s summery here and we?re expecting a hot Xmas Day. I think Meghan adapted to Canadian weather well considering she was a California girl, and she always looked very warm and stylish.
Well she might want to consider swapping the wool coat for a rain slicker and changing her boots as we're looking at a wet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this week throughout the state.
Unfortunately this is usually accompanied by the threat of mudslides in hilly burned areas of the state. :(

Information on the beautiful blue dress that Meghan wore to the NAACP Image Awards. Just realized that she's wearing her sorority colors tonight with the two shades of blue.
What Meghan Wore ? The original What Meghan Wore site covering Meghan's fashion style and charities. (https://whatmeghanwore.net/)
Her dress-
QuoteUPDATE 2/27: The Duchess wore a blue one shoulder silk dress is by Christopher John Rogers. The dress is a bespoke piece, below is a sketch from the designer.
Her shoes-
QuoteHer shoes are by Aquazzura ? the Celeste glitter sandal in gold, $1250.
Her bracelets are familiar repeats including one that belonged to Diana.
Quotehe Duchess brought back two bracelets we?ve seen before. The first one is Diana?s gold and blue stone bracelet which we first saw when the couple was visiting Australia in 2018. The other is her Cartier ?Love? bracelet, a piece she often wears.
It's thought that her bracelets are by this designer.
QuoteMeghan had on a pair of gold earrings which we think are by Alexis Bittar ? the Crumpled Gold post style, $245.
It?s interesting that the dress incorporated the two blues of her sorority colours. I thought Meghan looked lovely on this occasion, hair makeup, gown etc, all perfecto! I didn?t notice the jewellery or sandals though. She still doesn?t wear masses of jewellery even at night, but I don?t think this gown needed it.

Duchess of Sussex wores Khaite bodysuit with Cartier necklace
So far I've liked her Khaite bodysuit with the slim fitted trousers as I believe that flatters her shape. The Chanel jacket is lovely but honestly I'd prefer to have seen her in an Invictus polo with her casual jeans.
Her Valentino jacket and slacks are far too large for her petite frame IMHO but her jewelry as listed in the link below is lovely.

This dress is also by Valentino and I'm not sure about it yet..it might grow on me.

Duchess of Sussex wores Brandon Maxwell Belted jacket
I like the belted jacket, but again Meghan has gone monochrome with her outfits. There was a debate on another forum about the fitting of the Valentino white pants suit, and several people there pointed out that these oversized suits are very IN at the moment. (Did you see Justin Beiber in a really oversized one the other day, photographed with his wife!)
I loved the white low cleavage top Meghan wore to the IG Opening Ceremony, as for the latest dress it?s OK but as usual I?m looking for some colour!
I really like Meghan's belted coat by Brandon Maxwell. The belted waistline is flattering look for her.

I actually like that Dior dressed her, it all fits nicely and the brand did a very good job from top to bottom (including the stockings, which are like Kate's 'secret' brand, they are so thin and yet superior that it's like not wearing but wearing).
Is it

Is it pale lilac? It must be very very pale! In some pictures the outfit appeared to be white, in others cream and still others an oatmeal with rather a pale pink tinge.

I like round neck coat dresses like Kennedy (and Kate today, not so keen of yellow but only because the cut and the very high elevated couture sewing was mind blowing it got a pass from me)

I agree, she looked very nice. I actually think she could probably wear lots of colors, but I think when she wears black or navy blue she looks very striking.

Meghan Markle wears Princess Diana's ?17,800 Cartier watch as she joins Prince Harry in Dusseldorf | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11185355/Meghan-Markle-wears-Princess-Dianas-17-800-Cartier-watch-joins-Prince-Harry-Dusseldorf.html)
Duchess of Sussex wores Cartier watch and bracelet but watch belong to late Diana,Princess of Wales
QuoteThe Tank watch, once owned by Diana and thought to be gifted to Meghan by Harry, was priced at ?17,800 at the time but is now likely worth a lot more given its history, and is one of the pieces sported by Meghan today.
The elegant timepiece was worn by Diana at a number of occasions, including a 1997 visit to London's Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple and an engagement at the British Lung Foundation that same year.
Meghan has been gifted several items from Diana's collection. They include Diana's butterfly earrings and gold bracelet which she wore on their Australian tour in 2018.
Yet the watch is a favourite and she has been spotted wearing it often. The watch had been gifted to Diana by her father on her 21st birthday.
Meghan has always been known to favour more conspicuous jewellery stacks, while members of the royal family typically prefer to keep their accessories to a bare minimum, and her choice of bling for her latest appearance was no different.
It's a design that she has worn many times in the past, and which is also thought to have been a gift from Prince Harry in the early days of their romance.
The Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson each had earlier versions of the Cartier Love Bracelet as well.
Quote
Designs, manufactures, distributes and sells jewellery and watches. Founded in Paris, France in 1847 by Louis-Fran?ois Cartier, the company remained under family control until 1964. The company maintains its headquarters in Paris and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Compagnie Financi?re Richemont SA.
Cartier is well known for its jewellery and wrist watches, including the ?Bestiary? (best illustrated by the Panth?re brooch of the 1940s created for Wallis Simpson), the diamond necklace created for Bhupinder Singh the Maharaja of Patiala and the first practical wristwatch, the ?Santos,? of 1904.
Cartier has a long history of sales to royalty and celebrities. King Edward VII of England referred to Cartier as ?the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers.? For his coronation in 1902, Edward VII ordered 27 tiaras and issued a royal warrant to Cartier in 1904.Similar warrants soon followed from the courts of Spain, Portugal, Russia, Siam, Greece, Serbia, Belgium, Romania, Egypt, Albania, Monaco, and the House of Orleans.
Cartier. Known as 'the jeweler of kings and the king of jewelers', Cartier was awarded a royal warrant in 1904 by King Edward VII following an order of 27 tiaras for his coronation two years earlier. The international company also famously made the tiara the Duchess of Cambridge wore on her wedding day.
King Edward VII once named Cartier ?jeweller of the kings and the king of jewelers.? The famed jewelry house has been beloved by celebrities, royals, and fashion icons since its inception. Today, Cartier continues to inspire the world with decadence, sophistication, glamour, and innovation.
There are currently three Royal Warrants for goods supplied to the Households: Her Majesty The Queen and Their Royal Highnesses The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales.
Asprey held the warrant until her death in 2002. The Prince of Wales, HRH Prince Charles gave Asprey a Royal Warrant as Jewellers, Goldsmiths and Silversmiths. Asprey continues to hold this Royal Warrant today.
A Royal Warrant of Appointment is granted as a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services to HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh or HRH The Prince of Wales or their Households. The Monarch decides who may grant Royal Warrants. These are known as the Grantors.
A Royal Warrant is usually granted for up to five years and reviewed in the year before it is due to expire so that a decision can be made as to whether it should be renewed for another period of up to five years.
Today there are around 800 Royal Warrant holders representing a huge cross-section of trade and industry, from individual craftspeople to global multi-nationals.

Liked the colour but not the fit of Meghan?s pants today. And I didn?t like the top at all, unfortunately. I would have preferred to say a dainty but form-fitting white silk cashmere top, similar to the one she wore the other day with pants. Oversized pants seem to be a real thing today with both young men and women. However you have to have model-sized height and physique to be able to pull it off.
@Curryong- I agree with you about the color and fit of her slacks today. IMHO Meghan was overwhelmed by the voluminous fabric. Even someone taller ie Queen Maxima might have been swamped by them too.
I preferred the ones that she wore for her arrival in Manchester which were loose but better scaled for her height and size.

Meghan Markle wears Princess Diana's aquamarine ring to New York gala | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11510373/Meghan-Markle-wears-Princess-Dianas-aquamarine-ring-New-York-gala.html)
The ring does have a matching multiple pearl strand bracelet with a large aquamarine clasp. However apart from the pearl and diamond studs that most of the ladies in the BRF were gifted by the late QEII, I've really not seen Meghan opting to wear pearls on a regular basis. From what I can tell she prefers gold contemporary pieces.

QuoteFeaturing an emerald cut aquamarine flanked by small solitaire diamonds set in 24-carat yellow gold, the aquamarine was given to the Princess by her friend, Lucia Flecha de Lima, and created into a ring by Asprey in 1996. While many people claim the aquamarine ring was commissioned as a replacement for Princess Diana?s iconic Sapphire Engagement Ring after their divorce in 1997, it was only worn two times publicly before her tragic death the following year.

Meghan looks good as always, as well as the Archewell employee that was with her.
I do love that she usually sticks to neutrals with simple (and gold) jewelry. That?s what I usually stick with, too.
I'm happy when Meghan steps out with a bit of color now and then too. The monochromatic red from this past summer was one of my favorites.

I wish that she'd opt for sunny yellow again as she has the perfect coloring for this sunshine shade.

That is a good color for her. I think she tends to prefer black though. Classic choice.
I?m afraid I?m a colour person, rarely wear black, except for slacks, and its one of my minor bugbears that Meghan is so monochrome in her choice of clothing. I think she looks lovely in sunny yellow and vibrant red but I think my favourite on her are blues, very rarely seen!
That?s like my best friend. She?ll wear every color under the rainbow and I?m standing next to her with my all black outfit like I?m hitting up a funeral in the afternoon lol Meghan is lucky in that pretty much every color looks great on her. She also knows what styles work for her. She rarely has fashion ?misses,? but I?m biased because it?s all styles I would personally choose.
I think all the royal ladies have a great sense of their own style, but Meghan?s wardrobe is the one I always wanna raid. I guess it also doesn?t hurt that she?s gorgeous lol

I don't know. I don't always like her clothes. For one, that taupe/olive green outfit she wore to Louis' christening I did not care for at all, and sometimes her clothes seem ill-fitting, which is odd as I'm sure she can afford to have them properly tailored.
But she is very pretty and she has had some looks that hit it out of the ballpark. I think she should wear more jewel tones, as they seem to suit her very well.
To be fair, I don?t think anyone looks good in that olive color lol I think she has kind of a boxy shape, which can look a bit off in certain types of clothing. Some lengths don?t suit her as well as others.
Yes, that olive color doesn't seem flattering to anyone-which begs the question why anyone would choose to wear it. :happy15:
I haven?t seen it since, so maybe it?s been retired for good?or one can hope.

Lots of Gold, haven't we seen that elsewhere. Yes, lots of people wear lots of gold all the time, even royals to stand out in a crowd and make an entrance. The Princess of Wales did that recently, a beautiful gold gown, it flowed as she walked down in with William.
I think Meghan looks spectacular here; hair, makeup, skin, everything. And that gown is stunning. The gold really suits her. Plus, btw, the DM in their article on Meghan appearing at this award evening upped the total cost of her clothing etc by including a Cartier bracelet that is a Meghan favourite once worn by Diana.
