Here are some photos from today’s Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey. We will absolutely have full coverage tomorrow, when more photos (and better photos) come in. As it is, we won’t have the same quality photos of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge interacting with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex inside Westminster, which is what we got last year, when Meghan was pregnant. Those interactions were supposed to happen this year and they would have been “the money shots” the British tabloids were counting on for weeks/months of body-language analysis and stories about the “war” between William, Harry, Kate and Meghan.
We won’t get those photos because Harry and Meghan pulled out of the “Queen’s procession” part of the appearance, and then Will and Kate quickly followed suit and pulled out as well. The procession part would have been where we would have seen the two couples interacting as they awaited the Queen’s arrival, then they would walk behind the Queen. Now Meghan and Harry will be “conducted” to their seats instead of waiting around. Will and Kate will do the same. This is a very last-minute change, because the old Order of Service was confirmed and agreed upon (and put in print) just yesterday. So… take that as you will. I take it as neither couple was eager to A) see each other, B) pose together and C) pretend like they’re okay with each other.
As for these photos of the Sussexes and Cambridges entering Westminster Abbey… oh my good lord Beyonce, look at Meghan trolling the f–k out of Kate. Kate did Keen In Green looks all over Ireland last week, so excuse me if I believe that Meghan was like “girl, this is how you’re supposed to wear green.” This is so striking! And clearly, Meghan no longer feels the need to dim her sparkle to appease these dusty old farts. Speaking of, Kate wore… a coatdress. It looks new. It’s old. It’s red, obviously. It has velvet details and buttons. She easily has ten versions of this coatdress in different colors.

Kate: *spends whole previous week in Ireland wearing gods-awful twee green outfits*
Meghan: *swans into Commonwealth Service in daywear fit for a goddess like “bitch, I’ll SHOW you how to wear the color green”*
Princess Sparkle beats The White Dullard Duchess, hands DOWN.
P.S. I’m laughing at how Kate’s playing catchup to Meghan by wearing red. YOUR KOSPLAY GAME IS WEAK, KATE.
I love that red coat though.
I do too but jeebus haven’t we seen the very same coat in 10 more colors on her? What a lazy slob.
Kate’s is a repeat. She’s worn it before. She also has one with black velvet and cuffs.
Meghan looks GORGEOUS in green; I just wish she had a better tailor. This dress, like the VB turquoise one, is a schooch too tight, and bunches. It should lay smooth on her midsection.
But damn, girl can ROCK strong colors! Kate looks like oatmeal next to her!
It is a repeat, but it looks good on her. I think its a smart move by Kate, she’s obviously smart enough to know she couldn’t compete with Megan.
Didn’t Kate wear the same dress coat last year though? The only difference is in fabric and color of buttons; this one has cloth fabric buttons while the other (from last year) has big gold buttons but it’s the same. exact. coat., isn’t it?
Love it too!
Mary Poppins.
@scollins … “slob” ? A little harsh, no? It’s a repeat and she loves her coat dresses, but slob??
@Salvation – yeah. They are two different coats but pretty much the same.
Yeah, Kate is a lot of things, but far from a slob. She’s so expertly coifed and tailored here. What’s the opposite of slob?
I think the word to use is wasteful. When we can’t even tell which red coat it is because she has so many that look about the same, that’s a sign she has too many red coats, and green coats, and blue coats etc..
Meghan looks great in green. Love the hat on Meghan. Meghan is glowing.
@(TheOG) jan90067 – I like this dress but I do not like this dress on Megan. The dress does not appear to fit her properly.
I know people on this site will come after me with pitchforks & torches but I comparing clothes to clothes and only clothes to clothes. Cathy’s coat-dress looks better on Cathy than Meghan’s day dress looks on Meghan.
I am all about Megan!
BUT, Kate’s not a slob.
They both look great.
I like Kate’s red coat too, but not the hat.
Meghan looks good in green. The top photo with the cape blowing back is great!
I’m with BTB.
And, I love the red coat but don’t like the wastefulness of continually buying new nearly identical repeats.
Yes, Meghan is wearing that green! The chic style and her poise just amps up the wow effect.
Meghan as usual was drop dead gorgeous. She brought tears to my eyes. I went to Westminster Abbey and watched them all arrive and leave.
Someone either on twitter or in the pap stroll post said Kate would wear red today LOL
Well, whoever it was, was right! …and look, Willy wore a matching necktie! 🙂
She wore red to last year’s Commonwealth service.
@Mich, I fully expect to see color coordinated outfits and accessories from the Cambridge’s now.
Don’t know if it’s showing up in these pictures, but note that Harry’s coat is lined in the exact shade of green of Meghan’s dress. 🙃
Yes, I remember someone predicted that. And voila, Kate didn’t disappoint. Lol!!
@OGJan90067-
I think the fit in part is due to her short-waistedness. I am the same way- my physical therapist just commented on it last week! And after babies, one’s rib cage is permanently widened a bit, further exacerbating the proportion issue.
MM is a stunner in jewel tones. I love that she is once again embracing her sleek style in monochromatic colors. Just gorgeous. More importantly, she is beaming- I bet they are so happy with the decision they made in spite of the friction they continue to have to endure.
Wow at the fan fiction. Is it possible that they both just wanted to (and do) look great?
omg, no one here ACTUALLY thinks Meghan picked green because of Kate’s Ireland tour. Meghan obviously had this dress picked out well in advance.
But she does look a lot better than Kate looked in any of those ugly green dresses from the past week.
I think it’s funny how people who don’t wish to see what’s really happening in all of this royal family drama, continually try to depict the observations of those of us who can see, as being fan-fiction or conspiracy narratives. Nope, the battle that’s happening with the Sussexes being targeted by the British monarchy and the British media is very real.
Let’s face it that a lot of the problems which led to M&H stepping back from senior royal duties has to do with the Cambridges being insecure and unable to simply chill and embrace Meghan & Harry and put up a united front against intrusive media harassment.
I’m with Kaiser on the fact that each lady had to think about what to wear today. I had thought Meghan might choose white again (to go with her red and blue outfits on this farewell to royal duties– oh I forgot M already wore white to the National Theatre). Anyway, Meghan probably did think, ‘Let me show you how to rock green, Katie.’ And Kate reached back to her burgundy tried-and-true from 2018 Xmas at Sandringham, where the point was for Kate to shine as ‘future, future Queen,’ as they all took the faux Fab Four pap stroll to deflect claims of a ‘rift’ between the Wales wives. LOL
Whether such sartorial motivations are true or not, we can be sure there’s no love lost between these ladies. And I doubt the brothers are in any conciliatory moods either going forward. After all, Willileaks is responsible for throwing Harry’s pregnant wife to the tabloid wolves, and I doubt Harry can forgive William for that. The leaks and vile nastiness toward Meghan are continuing. Listen to the Sky News coverage by Angela Levin (a Harry biographer, who appears to think she owns him)! Listen to the RR and British morning show snark against Meghan after the success of M&H’s final events in London.
All of the negativity and dragging of Meghan while she was pregnant was orchestrated to ‘show Meghan her place,’ and to try and break her down in an attempt to marginalize her and to dim her sparkle within the institution. They didn’t bargain on Harry leaving with Meghan in order to protect himself and his family. M&H left especially to ensure Archie’s future would not be infected by the toxic mess of the royal family.
Yes, it is possible. The sniping about these two women while actively hoping they don’t like each other is really sad. Both women looked beautiful. Further, even if they didnt, that’s okay too. No reason to continually out them against each other but, of course, people will. That must feel awful for both of them.
Mary Poppins and the Joker.
THAT GREEN! Omg. You can tell Meghan is in her monochromatic element on this trip, wearing exactly what she wants to. Red! White! Turquoise! Green! The monochrome is her thing, and it shows.
Funny that they changed the arrangements 😂 that’s all I have to say about that.
Whoever Meghan’s new stylist is, and whatever inner aesthetic she has tapped into after cutting loose, is WORKING for her! The green is gorgeous and they weren’t going to give the tabloids endless pictures for “body language experts” to pick apart or play into any narrative. Somehow I think Meghan spent weeks getting the perfect outfit for each event, not waiting till the last minute to choose green just to annoy Kate. It’s a funny by-product though!
Oh, yeah, I think she planned to wear jewel tones for this whole trip. Like ” I am royal, bitches. ” Drop the mic.
I really think it’s Edward Enninful and British Vogue. Certainly not Jessica Mulroney anymore.
Hi Savu —- I don’t think it was a case of the Sussexes pulling out, then the Cambridge’s followed suit. I really don’t think the Sussexes would fly all the way to England to attend this service at Queen’s request and then do something like that to disrupt everything. Harry has too much respect for the Queen. I read that only the Queen can change Order of Service and that change was issued by her at last minute this morning or late last night. Neither the Sussexes, the Cambridge’s, nor Charles and Camilla were part of procession. They were all escorted to their seats and the revised Order instructed that nobody stand for any of them. (I shot over to the Daily Mail to look at photo of revised Order.). So, —- adjusting tin foil Tierra —- I wonder what went down yesterday after church? I hope it was the Queen listening to Sussexes about William and Charles BS toward them — especially Meghan. The great thing about the change is the Sussexes did not have to stand around with the other 4 and play happy families for the press and the body language experts. I watched video (yes — Daily Mail) of Cambridge’s taking their seats. Meghan and Harry smiled and said a brief hello. William — back to camera — looked like he acknowledged them, but it didn’t look like Kate even glanced at them. The Cambridge’s instead were all over saying hello to Edward and Sophie who were sitting directly behind Cambridge’s on aisle seats. Meghan was sitting next to Edward and Harry next to her. My take — William is once again ‘incandescent with rage’. I’d be surprised if Cambridge’s or Charles invited Harry and/or Meghan to have family lunch or dinner together. The 4 of them — the Drab Four — deserve each other.
The Sussexes weren’t on the printed program as part of the procession. The Cambridges were. So the Cambridges pull out was last minute.
my guess with the Harry-Queen discussion was “we just want to live our life” and she is getting reconciled to it now after a few months. If Harry was smart you don’t keep attacking, you just keep stating your own case of what you want and how you will be going forth. At this point in the game, the Queen either knows what backstabbing is going on or she will never acknowledge it. No need for H&M to keep stressing the point. Instead, keep the narrative about how he wants to be “peace-out” and happy.
@JA – I didn’t realize that Charles and Camilla didn’t walk in the procession either. Very interesting. Whatever happened to spark the change – it was after the programs were printed (what, yesterday?)
As a Canadian I actually appreciated that the whole royal family was not part of the procession. This was about the Commonwealth and not the British royal family. TQ is head of the commonwealth. POW was only elected by the nations as her designated successor in 2018. It isn’t a heriditary position. IF and it’s a pretty big if there is a commonwealth going forward it’s entirely likely that the head will be someone not from Britain. It made sense to streamline
@JA Lowcountry Lady I saw some video too and Will, House of Petty, does look rage-y. Of course, I’m not a body language expert nor was that what I was expecting. Ever the optimist I hoped for better. Still I’m glad they don’t have to fake it through family events any more. From personal experience that’s so exhausting.
According to US weekly, Will and Kate were in their car and gone before H&M had even left the church.
(I know its US Weekly, but that seems like something easily verifiable.)
But because it IS us weekly, the article then talked about how Kate had been a mentor to Harry, lol for days.
Lizzieb – As a Canadian. I disagree. I don’t remember voting on anything, it is a hereditary position in the BNA Act and if it wasn’t, there would be a real problem. I don’t have any respect for a Head of State who protects human traffickers and pedophiles. I don’t have any respect for what the Commonwealth represents, as it’s rooted in Imperialism and the genocide of Indigenous Peoples. I’m done with this notion of what Canada is. I’m done with respecting that shameful part of our history.
Too all re my above post —- My bad cause I guess Cambridge’s were pulled from stroll and Charles and Camilla did stroll. I don’t know why I believed anything I saw on Daily Mail — even if supposedly was a photo of revised procession showing all six of them not participating. Sorry. 🤦🏻♀️
I should’ve been more specific – when I said “they”, I more meant it as a vague “the people” instead of anyone in particular; someone in the royal family. It’s a day later and it’s still not clear where this came from. I don’t believe it would’ve been the Sussexes. I should’ve been clearer!
Exactly! Thanks for reminding me that Meghan already wore red, white & blue, signifying liberty and where she comes from! So yep, the monochrome green is surely exactly worn for the reasons Kaiser suspects! LOL
Red, white and blue was colour of the British flag long before the US came into being.
It’s also the colours of the French, Australian, NZ, Russia, North Korea and 22 other countries’ flags.
You shush with that logic!
Ok, but can we talk about Meg wearing ALL THE COLORS??? I knew she had it in her. This shade of green is fantastic on her.
I’ve been singing “De Colores” all over the house this morning, loudly, followed by a lot of giggling.
Me right now, like Ethel Merman: Deeeeeee coloreeeees, de colores
se visten los campos en la primaveraaaaaaa.
Because Meghan is a breath of spring and as much as the BRF stomps their petulant feet, they will never crush her blossom.
Did Meghan fire Jessica and get a stylist? These outfits and colors are glorious on her! The dress doesn’t fit, but who cares? That color!
I think she was dimming her light and finding what was “appropriate” given all the protocols. It’s clear she’s enjoying her showbiz roots and not giving a f*ck.
Agreed, the colours are glorious on her, but the cut of this dress is awful in the close up picture. I know if I wore a dress like that, I’d feel like I was being strangled by the cape.
I’m with you about the cut. The seam down the middle of the front of the dress, the bunchy waist and the straining at the seams shoulders aren’t great. The color looks fab on her though.
I’ve always assumed that because Charles felt overshowed by the glamourous Princess Di, pressure has been put on the Royal wives to NOT go too glam. Plus, they are kind of stuck using only UK designers. As was Di, who’s fashion game got much much better post-divorce.
I agree. The green looks great on her, but the dress doesn’t fit well. Way too tight in some areas and bunched in others. I thought the blue dress was a gorgeous color on her, but way too tight.
The dress fits alright when you watch the video. Pictures capture just a split second of a moment, they don’t tell the whole picture and judging a dress’s fit just by looking at a picture is just…… strange.
Too many darts
Agree about the seams. The dress appears overstructured. The silhouette is elegant, but needs less bulk by getting rid of all the superfluous darts. I would feel a bit strangled too, it seems to come up quite high around the throat. It doesn’t look comfortable, but it does look spectacular. I really love that she’s channelling her inner superhero with all the cape action in these last engagements.
Jessica is her good friend. Why pull her into this? Anyway, it’s obvious she wanted to project a certain look this trip with the colors and styles she wore. British based designers, clean sleek lines, strong jewel tones. She looked amazing.
Jessica may be a friend, but it was Meghan that pulled her into the conversation about her clothing by hiring her as a stylist. Not me. She wasn’t very good at it. That’s why I’m wondering if she got a new one. If this is Jessica’s work? Well done. But, somehow I doubt it.
@tessa. Did someone say Jessica was her stylist or was that people’s speculation. Forgive me if I missed it but I have never heard her say she was her royal stylist.
I wish people would leave Jessica alone. Those digs at her are unwarranted.
You know, I don’t know? I gathered that Jessica was her stylist by reading this website and taking people’s word, as I don’t actually follow royals outside of this website. I’m not an expert or source on anything. So if she never styled Meghan, and that was all bs, I’m sorry. But I hardly think I’m alone in believing that Jessica was styling Meghan. That was a strong rumor, if it was in fact just a rumor.
Actually I could see Jessica Mulroney wearing a dress like this. But at any rate – no, it was never confirmed that Meghan hired her as her stylist, it was just assumed that she was working as such given her profession, but never confirmed.
Look. I think a lot of people forget that pre-Meghan, a lot of people didn’t like Ben/Jen and the rest of the Mulroney’s. A lot of people only seemed to hear about them post-Meghan entering the scene. But that doesn’t mean that all of the criticism of Jessica is coming from Meghan haters.
I think Meghan’s fantastic. But I think the Mulroney’s are trashy and are in many ways only in the position that they are because of their name.
Brian Mulroney was one of the most hated prime ministers when he left office. I’m not sure there was anyone more up Brian Mulroney’s ass more than Brian Mulroney himself. He had a lot of dumb scandals. One was “Tunagate” where LARGE (1 million cans) amounts of tuna that were deemed unfit for human consumption were ordered to be sold to the public. The minister that ordered it told Mulroney’s office, and Mulroney agreed that he had. Then suddenly both walked it back and circled the wagons. He broke the record of handing out patronages to his cabinet members… people who were not qualified for the positions. There were questions on payments he received – just scandal after scandal.
So while none of this is Jessica’s fault, you do need to look at the legacy here to fully understand it. The Mulroney’s are people who have profited largely despite allegations of corruption and a wildly smug attitude. Lots of people can’t stand them, and Jessica is unfortunately lumped in with the lot – I don’t see it as being any different than people giving Carly Kloss crap for marrying Jared’s brother.
@Erinn, with all due respect, much of that context is missing for people who don’t know the details of Canadian politics. Heck, people who do know about Canadian politics often don’t know about Brian Mulroney.
And let’s be real here, the criticism that Jessica is getting specifically from international quarters is most definitely NOT about how she’s married into a family that includes a former PM with abysmal approval ratings from the 80s. So the comparison to the Kushners is completely moot here. Nobody’s writing up articles for the Daily Mail yelling about how Jessica is a person with questionable politics. Their sly condescension is purely based on what seems to be a completely unsubstantiated rumour that she is Meghan’s stylist, a rumour that spread with the intention that it would reflect poorly on Meghan. I doubt anyone making this criticism knows nor cares deeply abt yet another Conservative finance scandal, one from the 80s no less.
@ A — I agree, forget about whether or not Brian M. was a good PM or not, depending on which side of the political aisle you’re on, it has *nothing* to do with Jessica M. (and to call anybody “trash” is just…no better than what racist people call Meghan). And from all accounts, Jessica is very well-liked and as has been shown, a good and trustworthy friend. Her association and friendship with Meghan is what has painted her with the same hateful brush that others like to dapple Meghan with.
I don’t know why people think Jessica Mulroney has nothing to do besides “ style” Meghan and watch her baby. She seems like she’s pretty busy with her own career, and three children. Not only do they attack Meghan, but they attack her friends, and she’s the most visible. They don’t even have the same style. Just find it pointless.
This is such a loaded question, I almost don’t want to ask, but: Could Meghan be pregnant? It would explain the fits being less-than-perfect. Plus, her glow doesn’t have any of the smugness of revenge or pleasure in showing up the Royal Family. It’s just pure joy and happiness.
I’ve wondered, she is thick high up where she was last pregnancy.
But it could be the lower stress and she is able to eat again. She has such a happy joyful glow now
Originaltessa. I sure hope Meghan canned Jessica Mulroney. JM is not a stylist. She’s a rich girl who thinks she has taste.
Everyone looks nice. Hey for my U.K. peeps is the virus not a big worry over there? I saw video of M & H shaking hands with people and harry kept touching his face !
Well BoJo just went on this morning and said that we should “take it on the chin, take it all in one go and allow coronavirus to move through the population without taking many draconian measures.” 🙄
I read an article that Piers Morgan is furious that PM only wanted to be on morning show if Piers was not there that day. I so hope that is true. 😂
Meghan have MERCY on us please! What!!! Too much sauce!!! Girl is on fire!!!
Yes, she looked beyond amazing, the most beautiful woman in sight.
Sorry love the hat but hate the dress.
It’s a gorgeous colour on her but it looks too big- weird around the bra and creased too- the cape/scarf neckline doesn’t work either.
I much prefer that red cape dress she wore last night.
Sorry, Meghan still looks AMAZING!!!
Yep, and a long cape dress is for evening wear, not for a church service.
@kellebelle, you may be right, but I’ve seen many royal women in cape dresses at day time events -Queen Leticia, Queen Maxima, etc.
@kellebell its a good thing she’s not wearing a long cape dress then. She’s wearing a day dress with a scarf detail. And where I grew up people dressed UP for church. Even the Queen wears GLOVES to this event.
@lobbit, okay, but full length for daytime?
@kellebelle – the dress comes (appropriately) to mid-calf.
I “think” Kellebelle is saying that the red dress she wore a few nights ago was a full length cape dress and would not have been appropriate for this event. (in response to the comment that the person much prefers the red dress.)
Oh please, one of you other fashion “experts” on here was whinging on about the dress being “too tight” now you claim it’s too big. You can’t tell anything because it is windy and they are walking.
MsIsam: why so defensive about legit fashion complaints? This entire blog exists to nitpick what celebrities are wearing.
Guest, I think the suggestion here is that the nitpickers should pick a direction and stick to it. Like MsIam said: it is windy, they are walking. Meanwhile the nitpickers’ kite is flying all over the place.
Have to agree, MsIam. I didn’t notice too tight or too loose, just the beautiful colour on the beautiful lady.
LOL @MsTam I know it’s like we become fashion and body language and every other subject experts. Bottom line, though, she looks amazing. But, I ain’t about tamping down the comments (including yours) except for the obvs trolls that swarm about the internet.
I adore, flat out adore Meg and everything she represents. The blue and red were honestly, works of art. On her????? With the hair, the skin, the smile? Outta the park!
The green? I love the colour but I prefer Kate’s hat and coat dress. I don’t always love Megan’s hats, are hats a tricky thing? I would think so. Some I love and others I am not fond of. I am. Not enamoured of the hat, the woman? Yes!!!
And, as an aside, I cried watching those kids meet Meg on International Women’s Day. She is so desperately NEEDED in this family. XO
The fit could be better but from the neck up she looks flawless. Her makeup has changed, she wears more of it and she pulls it off so so well. Not everyone’s face is suited to it. Love it.
I agree with several posters that the fit could be better. It’s a tough style for someone who’s shortwaisted unless it’s made to measure. I’m under 5’ tall and it’s tough getting a good fit with some styles. In Meghans case I noticed the bunching but was so blown away by how flattering the color was on her and her glowing face. She looks amazing.
The dress is dramatic and looked stunning. It doesn’t have the perfect fit but still looks good on her. It was meant to stand out and it does. Thought the Cambridge’s and Sophie Wessex were incredibly rude. This whole thing was started by Will and Kate and whoever surrounds them, and they still look like the malcontents they are. That whole service looked like a collective root canal. Can tune out the rest of the royals for a long time now. I don’t need Meghan and Harry to conquer the world either. Just for them to do what makes them happy as a family, work in a way that makes them content and have purpose, and live their lives.
William’s apparent contempt for his brother and sister in law shows him to be a petty person. . Kate enabled this and may well live to regret it.
And Meghan’s absolutely stunning ensemble matches the silk lining of Harry’s suit coat EXACTLY! *swoon*
I swear I thought Kate’s coat dress was a repeat. SMDH over whyyyy she needs another replica.
That’s the detail that makes the whole look honestly.
I thought it was a repeat, too, but they all blur together.
It’s from Christmas before last.
I love how they have been matching colors at these events. These two are definitely a team.
I love how they have been matching colors at these events. These two are definitely a team.
Dragon slayer.
My God, she actually looks more beautiful and radiant every time she steps out… this is SO old-world glamour meets Sixties/Seventies Verushka. She’s finally nailed her style – can’t wait to see her future looks!
Kate looks… bland. Sorry.
LOVE Meghan’s dress, the colour is great on her.
Katie Cosplay’s coatdress is a repeat (I think she wore it at a Boxing day church pap walk), the hat seems new. She suits the colour.
Meghan’s make up is fab as for Kate she really really needs to rethink her eye makeup.
I’m highly amused by the colour competition that’s going on – we know Katie Keen is trolling Meghan but I think Meghan is trolling back. LOLz
Kate just looked sour and wore too much eye makeup. Her outfit was typical her, although that hat looked too old and fussy for her. I really don’t care what the rest of them do from now on. Was it really that hard to be decent to a new family member and just live their lives without stomping on Harry and Meghan’s? As for all these think pieces cropping up about Britain’s loss , what could have been and what they brought to the royal family, I say shut up. When it was happening in real time and got crazy vicious, they all dined on and enjoyed the spectacle. They didn’t want them, knew exact what was going on, chose to ignore it, and are still trying to spin it. They can also shut up about the poor Harry stories as well. It’s all concern trolling and dining on scraps.
Wow just wow.Meghan looks stunning
CopyKate wore red but Meghan showed her how to wear green. LOL
‘CopyKate’ – you nailed it!!!
Hi5 YES. LoL on “CopyKate’
I have no idea if their color choices were really related to each other but can we talk about Kate’s fascinator? Because that hat is completely bonkers. I feel like it is WAY too talk and positioned too far forward on her head. It looks like she took a normal hat and then just put it straight up vertically which is just a weird way to wear it, even for a fascinator. It is completely distracting from the rest of her outfit and it is just really odd.
@Anony83 The fascinator also clashes with the rest of her reds. It’s just off, colour and style-wise, enough to niggle (along with marmoset eyes and sausage curls); her whole look is jarring. She cocked up her colour palette when leprechaun cosplaying in Ireland, and she’s done it again here.
(And to echo the sighs of other commentators here: ANOTHER coatdress? How many does the woman have?)
Guys & Gals, sometimes colors look wonderful together in natural light providing a perfect tone-on-tone look but appear to clash when photographed. This has happened to me many times at weddings with accessories.
i Like the color on Meghan, but i have to say this is a really really bad dress, the fabric looks so grumpy and cheap. Kate looked like she always does.
Little disappointing because i really like everything else Meghan has worn on this trip (especially the jacket/trouser combo, easily the best outfit she has ever worn imo)
Disagree. I love the look. Kind of Old Hollywood drama. I dig it.
I disagree too. The dress is gorgeous and Meghan looks absolutely fabulous! This is a “really really great dress!”
Same here. Could fit slightly better, but the old world style and the outrageously delicious colour more than make up for it.
Bombshell. 💥🔥💥🔥
Agree with you. Very much Hollywood Golden Age.
When Meghan was in the church, out of the wind, the dress looked as it was meant to look. My only gripe was with the shoes – J would have preferred the blue shoes from the Endeavour Fund Awards. But overall, a knockout. Again.
There is another photo of her, again by Samir Hussein, of just her face in black-and-white. It is stunning. She is a woman in her prime and we are all seeing it now.
I’m wondering if some of the bunching stuff on these dresses is more about just getting out of a car? I know whenever I’m in a car and get out, the whole line of the dress gets skewed. OTOH I don’t wear high fashion LOL.
I disagree, Meghan looked drop dead gorgeous in her emerald green. Perfect or imperfect, which I hardly noticed, all adds to the swag. Girl keeps looking younger and younger. Poor Kate, is ageing fast. Is she happy?
Meghan’s green outfit is amazing — I love her bag. I wonder if Katie Keen is seething at that green dress. It could have just worked out that way, but honestly, if Meghan was being a wee bit petty — I’m down for it 100%. 100%!!! Although, I wished Harry would have matched his tie to her green dress.
I cannot believe this is what Kate chose –this is pretty for Christmas, but now it looks out of date and out of season. And doesn’t she already have a red coat almost exactly like this? Maybe a shade or two different? Boring. YAWN.
To be fair, Meg’s green is *also* “Christmas”.
Look, the colors suit both women. Kate looks great in red, as does Meg; Meg and Kate both look great in green. Bold colors suit both women.
The BIG difference is the “IT” factor of each woman: Meg has IT, Kate doesn’t. Simple as that. They could be wearing the exact same outfit, and yet eyes will go to Meghan. SHE pops. She has an “energy” that Kate doesn’t. It’s that simple.
Sorry but Meg just reinvented green.
I like the dress but that shade of green is not my thing and it does nothing for her complexion. A darker shade would have been better I think.
Agree The OG —- also — in response to other commenters —- I just don’t see any ‘trolling’ of Kate by Meghan. Meghan flew in from Canada with a limited, predetermined wardrobe for scheduled events. Her style choices had to have been made way before Kate showed up in Ireland Mar 3-5. Meghan is all about the sisterhood of women and supporting each other so I just don’t see her expending that kind of petty negativity towards Kate. I’ve always thought Meghan has behaved professionally with Kate, but I think it is Kate who displays the petty, mean girl behavior. I think Kate feels threatened by other women, where as Meghan genuinely likes women. Finally, I liked both women’s outfit choices here, but Kate’s makeup makes her look harsh from certain angles. Her face often looked harsh at last year’s service too.
To be honest, if we are just doing beauty .,. both of these women take me to the cleaners. XO They both are very attractive adult humans.
Today I prefer the red ensemble, I think.
I am still just so FLOORED by Meg’s blue and red and the pants and jackets at the school. I am thrilled I am not in love with Megs green outfit, she is exhausting me. XO It is hard work being bowled over with style love every time I see her. ❤️
You lost the plot with ‘to be fair’ because we are so not about that! One woman absolutely must be torn down for the other…you decide which one!
Kate could never pull this look off. Heck, I couldn’t and probably most women couldn’t either. And that hat!! Slay girl, slay. If this is truly their last appearance, then what an exit!
That side cape is very cool.
And no I don’t think she wore green to “troll Kate.” She would have had this dress picked out and tailored well before Kate wore green all over Ireland. Also, I don’t think she cares much about Kate specifically. I don’t think Meghan is that petty.
I think they want to avoid shots of then together and the accompanying narrative, whatever the press imagines it to be.
Not my favorite look from her the past few days but the color is definitely one she should consider in the future. Jewel tones are amazing on her. Best part….no buttons and that bag…need it.
Meghan Killeed that outfit. So Beautiful.
In other photos I’ve seen, the lining of Harry’s jacket is the same green as Megs dress. Genuinely my greatest joy since getting married is matching clothes with my husband for events. I love to see it
That’s a trick Harry picked up from Grandad. He’s been doing it this whole last tour in a more blatant way.
I don’t recall that Willileaks has done it ever, except perhaps by accident at Ascot. And yet here he is trying to get in on the game by wearing a red tie, that doesn’t quite match in reds. Or maybe it’s accidental again b/c Workshy Wanderdick doesn’t care about these things.
They do coordinate in like, official family photos and stuff, but y’know. Not anything aside from that as far as I can recall. Maybe in their earlier years, but not since then, and definitely not in the last few years.
But why is celebitchy referencing the Daily Mail? Thats disappointing to see. I dont want to support that racist “news outlet”
Meghan’s wearing the f@$& out of that beautiful shade of green to reflect all the haters as Willieleaks and Keen Kate just simmering in green with envy
That green is GORGEOUS! I hate it’s Emilia Wikstead though. Meghan probably doesn’t hold grudges but I do and it’s fuck that lady for life.
Ha ha. I forgot about her claiming Meghan’s wedding dress was pirated from her – well, in somewhat less direct wording. I’m a believer in not stepping on a bride on her wedding look, always beautiful and always a start, just like every baby is beautiful.
Kate’s coat is not new. She wore for Christmas 2018
I was pretty sure I’ve seen that coat before too.
Well, I’m sure in at least one of the gazillion articles yet to be written about this event, the Fail will give her points for “recycling”.
She’s probably wearing new earrings that cost thousands. She seems to always wear very expensive new jewellery if she’s recycling an outfit for a major event.
@Nic919, I would not be surprised to hear the earrings are fairly new.
@Nic919 her earrings are a new wear (at least in public) but she’s had them in her collection for quite a while – they’re part of a set she was given as a wedding gift. by Mouawad. They’re either a different piece of the set or two motifs from the necklace removed and reset as earrings, but either way – not new.
Ten bucks says the Fail uses this outfit and the pictures from this event to write a long, droning article about how Kate truly is the red brick in the foundation of the royal family, and how her closet full of identical coat dresses and matronly fashion choices are just so dependable and that’s what people need in this trying times, a woman with approx 8000 coat dresses in the exact same cut and varying shades and colours, each of which cost an upwards of $500 USD each.
@dynastysurf – interesting bc we only saw her wear the necklace the one time, right? I bet these earrings were part of the set but it makes you wonder how much other jewelry she has that we have never seen.
@Becks1 She’s also worn the bracelet that’s part of the set, but only once or twice. I think the last time we saw any of the set (before today) was in like 2013 or 2014?
@A – Kate is morphing into Queen Mary. Queen Mary wore the same dress for 50 years only in different brocade fabrics and QEII is not much better with wanna be Chanel knock-offs.
The only royals who really switch it up fashion-wise are Anne, Sophie and Meghan.
After all the money she spent on all those bizarre clothes in Ireland, she should recycle. I swear for someone who got what she wanted and supposedly is cementing her status, her and Will don’t exactly look pleased with themselves. The Sussexes showed that they can really bring it, but you can tell they’ve had enough. Royal reporters are still trash and you know once they leave, all the slime will be oozing out, but who’ll care? I think they’ll hunker down and work until the 31st and afterwards, who knows. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Wow she looks like a star. She stands so tall. You can tell she feels beautiful and confident. It radiates. She looks modern and chic.
She looks stunning! This is HOLLYWOOD glam, you dusty haters! The rest of that family could never! Ugh. That’s right Meghan, go out with a bang.
Meghan looks amazing! Kate is dull and lifeless, as usual.
Congratulations on de person who called it Kate is Lady in Red today but Irish eyes are shinning on Megan she looks absolutely stunning !
Go Meghan!! Gorgeous color on her and I hate green!! For some reason I am getting Alexis Carrington vibes from her, like “Bitch I am here now!!” LOL!! As for people complaining about the fit, in that picture it looks very windy and they are walking, you can’t tell a thing about the fit. And I see it is the same old folks with that same complaint……..
Yes! That’s what it is! Definitely Alexis Carrington vibes. I also hate green but cannot hate on this. She’s stunting on everyone. Her walk and gait says it all. Try me. I’m here.
In motion, it actually appears to fit very well. (It does have a lot of seaming and darts so perhaps that’s why it doesn’t look as good in still photos.)
I don’t love Meghan’s outfit from the front, it does seem to pull and bunch a bit. But that shot from the side as she and Harry walk up and the cape flares out? AMAZING. And the color is phenomenal on her.
Meghan’s face is so gorgeous! And I’m glad that she went with another bold, solid color look, rather than something in beige, black, or navy. I would love to see Meghan go to Kate’s tailor, though. It’s always been her one issue: she needs things tailored to fit her better. The combination of seams and darts and bunching wrinkles distract a bit. But seriously, I’m always drawn to her face anyways because she is just so stunning and glowing, so I spend most of my time looking up there.
Kate has impeccable tailoring but she looks dull, old/dated, and boring, and she has 50 versions of this exact coat dress in various colors. And then an additional 50 other coat dresses in the same red color. So she has approximately 100 looks that are either this exact shape, color, or both.
What I like best is that Meghan and Kate look like they’re going to the same event and that they hold equal rank. Meghan doesn’t look like she’s the poor step sister in dirty beige trying to blend into the background and keep her eyes down so as not to upset anyone/draw too much attention. She looks royal, confident, rich, noble, self-assured, and like her amazing self.
Your last paragraph is spot on. I feel like in the past when we’ve seen them together, Meghan seems very conscious of not “outshining” Kate or being accused of outshining her or anything.
Here, she’s just like “welcome to the final stop of my YOU COULD HAVE HAD A BAD BITCH” tour lol.
@Becks1 – Which to me is exactly part of the problem that we all keep forgetting.. William, and to some degree Charles, did not want a” BAD BITCH”. William and the KP courtiers wanted another Sophie Wessex as did a good portion of the UK populace that care about the BRF.
I think the best thing Meghan and Harry did was to leave and strike out on their own.
They may not have wanted one but that just shows how short sighted and narrow minded they are.
Well then @BTB if that is true then it just shows that William, Charles and the courtiers never really knew or understood Prince Harry. What is the world would ever make them think a dynamic and charismatic man like Harry would marry a “Sophie Wessex” type? And no knock against Sophie either but it is what it is. Harry is “go big or go home” and he was going to marry someone who fit the bill. I think part of his earlier unhappiness was being forced into the mold the others thought he should be in. So you’re right, it was best for everyone that H&M left.
@MsIam – I agree with all you that you say. My point is that Meghan could never fit in and remain her true self due to William and all those who conspire with him.
William, unlike the future Charles III, does not care about the BRF. William only cares for William, IMHO.
I don’t think Meghan’s intention was ever to deliberately show anyone up. I think she genuinely wanted to work well with the patronages she was given, and put in the work on the tours and the appearances. However, as pointed out, her definition of work was way different from the rest of the Royals, and she did see her role as an opportunity to genuinely make a difference. As for the rest, she’s naturally charismatic, knows how to give a good speech, and is naturally curious and genuinely interested in others. There’s no way someone like her could be in this entirely new scenario and just phone it in; she knew everyone was watching and judging, too harshly most of the time. For this trip, she had to look impeccable and wanted to radiate positivity. Again, why give into the “oh so sad“ narratives? Her formal looks were a little extra, but that’s what the people wanted, and she delivered. Her actual engagements, especially at the school, showed such a high level of commitment and authenticity. So while the dresses were great, they both also showed that they are very good at what they do and will continue to do.
Yes – your last comment. Meghan doesn’t look like the poor relation that stopped by Wal-mart for a last-minute change of clothes.
Meghan looks so happy to be there and Kate looks like she wants to go home, curl up on the couch and eat a gallon of ice cream.
A gallon of KALE chips. Ice cream probably never comes within 10 feet of her. EVER. A stiff wind will blow her over.
I agree with you except Kate doesn’t look like she would rage eat a teaspoon of ice cream
I knew Meghan was going to appear and be completely radiant. I was eager to see what Kate chose because I knew she was going to be aware Meghan wouldn’t be showing up to play, lol. I’m surprised at Kate – the red is very mumsy.
Hate Kate’s hat, too.
That hat looks like a school project perched on her head. Dreadful and does nothing for her face. Really does look like Mary Poppins.
I don’t know if Meghan really wore that green to show up Kate – I’m sure she had it picked out well in advance – but you were joking, right?
And I agree with everyone that she looks much better now that she’s not trying to fit in with the frumpy royals. She is so pretty in the strong colors and mostly simpler cuts!
The fit of this dress may not be perfect, but I think she’s going for an elegant 1930s look.
LOL, yes, she was joking, Meghan had all these outfits selected well in advance, I’m sure.
Agree, the fit is not perfect but she still looks great. She doesn’t have a typical model’s body, but I don’t think she needs to tailor everything to look polished. What’s good about this and the red dress is she’s showing a lot of women that you don’t have to be a perfect size 4 or 6, statuesque woman to look chic or glamorous in clean, lean styles. All of us can think of a number of women IRL who had/have this quality, like the church ladies from our youth, girlfriends with little money who always looked fab, co-workers who knew how to style a scarf or rock a pencil skirt. It’s the total look–the style, sense of style and personality–and Meghan’s just got “it”.
Perfect posture goes a long way to make a mediocrely fitted dress look perfect, and years of yoga have given her such a graceful way of holding herself, not like Kate’s “Olive Oyl” posture.
That side cape is EVERYTHING. it’s so dramatic yet simple. SERVE MEGAN!
Yes! That cape reminds me of Diana’s FU dress- the black one that she wore rt after C admitted adultery! She looks AMAZING.
God, Kate is so boring. She has the same coatdress in every color, and wears the same all the time.
Meghan looks like shes got her juju back. Her style while in the RF was awful.
High fashion!!!!!! She did that
I love how the lining of harry’s suit matches her green dress. Perfection!
Meghan, darling! Did you have to stunt on them so goddamn hard!? Breathtaking! Make them suffer knowing they could have had the baddest bitch around representing the crown but their jealous racist misogynist ways cost them everything.
Stomp them out with those nude pumps, love! Make them seethe with green ass envy!
Very elegant way to cap off the farewell tour. I could even forget that it’s Wickstead because Meghan carries the look so wonderfully. Kate…another one of her typical coat dresses that comes in 20 colors; should’ve picked a color that didn’t blend with the seating lol. That’s a ridiculous looking hat to go with it too.
The red is a beautiful color, but the entire outfit looks dated and matronly in comparison to the green one.
Meghan looks beautiful, but I think that she needs to be more careful about the bras she wears with certain outfits. Many women’s breasts change after kids, and you need more support and/or smoothing under clingy outfits. Her breasts are probably a little bigger than they were and it looks like she is probably still wearing bras that used to work well under thin fabrics before she gave birth. I grew from a 34D to a 36DD and was still cramming my boobs into what I thought were bigger bras. I now live with the larger size, but I can’t wear balconette bras under clingy clothes anymore. They need to be full coverage or I can look frumpy and the fabric looks cheap.
Also, I don’t know that she is getting things tailored much. She looks great in off the rack clothing. I think that it was picked out in advance, but not necessarily tailored. She looks great, but the fit is more like how things look on most women when we buy off the rack clothing. The way that I solve fit problems are with proper sizing and underwear that fits well because I can’t afford much tailoring.
Another fabulous dress. Meghan is going out with a bang. Again, I can seen myself in this ensemble.
Oh FFS, not another coat dress… boring, boring, boring.
Meghan looks stunning as usual, and she can wear the hell out of that shade of green.
Oh Meghan, you are killing me with these bye bitches out fits.
I love this, keep your head held high and that beautiful smile on your face.
Flying Fish…Lol!!!
“these bye bitches outfits” YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Ms Markle did not come to play. She said yes I am leaving and I’m going to look good as hell while doing it. Love the look, the color, the cape! And she’s matching with Harry’s suit lining. These two are giving me major power couple vibes! Kate also looks very lovely, but Meg is BREATH TAKING.
DAMN MEGHAN. She looks stunning. I love that shade of green, and she brought the fashion drama for sure. LOVE IT.
I see what some are saying about the fit, but I don’t even care. this is a total LOOK and Meghan knows it.
Also, I know people said over the past year that Meghan really didn’t know how to wear fancy hats or fascinators – I feel like this is a total “I CAN ROCK THESE DAMN FASCINATORS TOO” kind of moment.
Kate….oh Kate. She looks like Kate. And she did wear that coat to Christmas two years ago, which is making me think. That was Meghan’s first big “outing” with the royal family, this is her last big official outing – is Kate marking the occasion? You know she remembers when she last wore it, and she wore red last year too, so I would have expected to see something new this year.
Love the color on both ladies. As Kate is a working royal she’s got to watch her budget
And wear repeats foreva!
Meghan gliding in there with her fascinator perched to the side and cape blowing in the wind like some superhero slaying. I am here for this.
Meghan is so civil.. When Cain and Unable were getting ready to sit, she warmly smiled at them both. Unlike the petty displays of the Windsor.
Did they at least make an effort to smile back?
Nope; they only greeted the Wessexes and ignored the Sussexes completely. Even Harry threw a polite smile in their direction. Says a lot about the Cambridges that they couldn’t even bother to return the politeness (especially when they arguably caused this whole mess).
It looked like Kate ignored her and William sort of greeted her. But then William turned around to greet Harry while Kate stared straight ahead.
LOL, they mad about those diamond-rain drop pictures and that all red look! Bye haters!! You’ve been served!
The Keens have got their backs up because they got busted with their PR schemes and backstabbing, and are too small in character and low on self-awareness to own it.
To me it looked like William and Kate completely ignored Meghan and Harry. Meghan smiled at them and William sort of stared past them as he sat down (at least in the video I saw). Edward was the only one who made an effort to chat with them, while Sophie leaned forward to speak with W&K before staring off with a sour expression, face turned decidedly away from Edward and the Sussexes. It just made Will, Kate and Sophie look incredibly small and petty, and Harry and Meghan look like the bigger people that they are.
Edward looked like he was enjoying talking to Meghan, so I don’t think there is bad blood there. I don’t blame Sophie either bc its awkward to have a conversation among 4 people when you are sitting in a row like that.
Kate and William though…..yeesh.
Remember this time last year when we were all analyzing body language and this was the point that confirmed for pretty much all of us that the rift was 100% between Harry and William? This just confirms it again. Something bad happened between the brothers.
@Becks1 – yeah something bad went down between the brothers but considering how Kate blanked them both that tells me whatever went down she was part of it. Her coldness towards them tells me that there maybe some truth to the rumours that her family (ma and sister) were caught leaking to the tabs which came out when the Sussex’s joined that lawsuit against the tabloids. She and her family got busted for being part of WillieLeaks. Kate did not even look their way and her face said it all when she turned to sit down – she was not happy to see them.
I agree Digital Unicorn. I also heard that Pippa played a part because of her shady father in law. Interesting that Kate totally ignored Harry considering she turns into a pile of goo when she sees him.
@DU – good point. Kate’s non-greeting was very telling.
There is drama behind the scenes and I think that drama is one of the big reasons for Sussexit.
I wonder if Harry had something to do with Will and Kate not proceeding in with the queen and they were ticked?
When you can barely pretend to be civil at a major event when you KNOW you are going to be photographed and recorded – things are bad.
Ooh where did you see that??
Kate showed her true colors in that snub. Meghan was gracious and polite while Kate acted like a rude, jealous, petty bitch.
I have to laugh at the blogs where there is a constant series of posts calling Kate “classy.” Kate sure does not act classy, very rude.
Omg Meghan🤩🤩🤩
As a makeup lover I am really enjoying her extra dose of glam during these appearances. She seems to be having fun with her make up routine a bit more than usual which I love. She is a GLAM GODDESS and I AM HERE FOR IT !👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
1. The rift is REAL, huh? Harry must be truly over it.
2. Kate looks…Kate. It’s not bad, it’s not new, it’s what we’ve come to expect and everyone should just resign themselves to that. She’s gonna wear too dark eye makeup, sausage curls, and coatdresses.
3. Meghan looks delightful, I love the cape and don’t hate the hat (and I never like her hats). The green pops against her skin and her makeup looks really good as well.
4. Suits come in other colors besides blue, Harry and William. For all the crap everyone gives Kate, her husband hasn’t bothered to try in years (with the exception of that “urban” green velvet jacket last year). The guys could take a lesson from their dad, he’s not a bad dresser.
Charles makes the proper efforts with his clothes unlike his sons.
The dress is atrocious with it’s 47 darts…the hat is FIRE though and very artfully placed!
Meghan looks breathtaking in that color.
Although Meghan looks very fab I’m convinced this is not a “trolling” issue. This is a woman on a transatlantic trip with no access to her full closet. She would have picked her outfits weeks ago. Similarly I don’t think Kate’s red coat is a reference to Meghan’s red dress yesterday (?). She also would have chosen the entire oufit well beforehand.
I agree. I think people are dragging this mess of who wore what best and this color was worn to throw shade at someone else WAY out of proportion. Both ladies have hits and misses when it comes to the things that they wear. I doubt they are petty enough to be thinking about these things.
I jst want to see another set of pictures
The Fail has footage of the Cambridges taking their seats and its AWKWARD AS FK – W&K barely look at H&M and Meghan clearly speaks to them bu they are too busy fussing over their seats and the Wessex’s. It looks like Harry leans in to ask Meghan what was said.
The CBC ran live footage of them entering (before TQ), and taking their seats – Wills and Kate took their seats in front, and H&M were in the aisle behind them with Edward and Sophie. Edward was chatty with H&M, Sophie wasn’t, and WIlls and Kate didn’t’ even turn around to acknowledge their presence. Nothing to see here at all, folks. /s
Knew Sophie was an ass ever since the wedding. Nice of Edward to be chatty and I hope this puts to rest that Kate was just a bystander in the H/W fight. She completely ignored Meghan’s hello.
Agree about Sophie. Haven’t cared for her since she went all out on a fashion spree and left Louise looking like a stepchild in too small clothes for a couple of years.
Maybe he leaned in to tell her not to bother.
Interesting… when I looked earlier, that video was there. It has been yanked off since. Think Willileaks didn’t like the way it made him look more petulant and petty than ever?
Thank OG, I was wondering why I couldn’t find the video!
It’s still there for me or maybe its because of my browser cache. Its frosty from the Cambridge side and both H&M smile and say hello. It looks like William might have nodded at them but Katie Keen doesn’t even look at them.
You can find it on Twitter,
Google harry Meghan videos and its under a few other videos, you can see the Heir of the heir Taking his seat along with his wife. Meghan is very polite and sweet, Harry very serious.
It’s on the front page of the DM. You don’t even have to clk on the story.
I just saw it. Daaaaaaamn. W&K can’t even try and fake it. They are seething at H&M and it is so obvious. And Sophie, wow.
Watching it on the Global News channel on YouTube. That Sopie Wessexs’ behavior was despicable. She looked like she had’nt had a BM in several days as her husband, Edward, was interacting with Harry and Meghan. Wills did a half harded nod as Kate looked straight ahead. Meghan was the sweetest as she smiled at them and curtsed to Charles. Harry,lol!! He looked as if he was over the lot of them.
Okay, just saw it, and wow. I had seen the clip of them talking in the church (or not talking) but not W&K’s actual arrival. How awkward. It is possible that Kate might have smiled at them and we missed it because of the camera angle, but it doesn’t seem like it. William definitely seemed to say hello or something in response to Meghan, but there is nothing between him and Harry.
Wow. Things are bad.
to make everyone feel better, I saw a video on iTV of their actual arrival, as they got out of the car, and there were a lot of cheers, and then when they walked into the gated entrance of the abbey one of the guards completely turned his head to follow Meghan, LOL.
I was willing to give Sophie the benefit of the doubt because of her seating (it did look like there was some distance between her and Edward), but then I saw her having a conversation with Cain and Unable soooooo…..nevermind.
@bamaborn, excellent summary! #ImWithHarry.
@Becks1, I checked out the video and I think she had at least 2 guys’ heads turning. But, geeze, that effing Chris Sh*t/p.
It really is… not even an effort to hide it on Kate and Will’s part just cold like ice crystals are in the room.
Both ladies look lovely. I’m feeling nice today 🤷🏼♀️ Also, I’m *trying* to remember that this is about The Commonwealth & not about fashion… lolz! Just kidding. No shade from me today ♥️💚
I prefer Kate’s look. The colour looks nice on her and it’s suitable for a church service in winter.
Meghan looks nice, but that colour is not my thing in general and it does nothing for her complexion. A darker green would have been better, IMO.
Luckily with Kate’s look, you’ll get to see it again and again, and again.
In every color of the rainbow… over and over and over
Nothing wrong with knowing what works for you and your body. Look at Sofia Vergara. She wears the same dress to all of the award shows and most everyone rants and raves.
Well, Mary Poppins is a classic so……
Bah!! Mary Poppins!!! XO The only comment that made me laugh.
I keep thinking how that coat would look with the black cuff and collar. More winter than spring, but I bet the black makes that coat really stand out.
I think Charles was the best dressed. He looked very dapper in that pin-striped suit and I liked his tie.
She has never looked better than she has on this farewell tour! I love all the sleek dresses, the colors, her make up, everything!!! Bringing it!!!
Gorgeous!
It’s so weird to see Kate and Wills never show any signs of PDA. They never even hold hands….
They do when in private on casual walks. Senior royals aren’t supposed to demonstrate PDA.
No, they can. Even Charles and Diana showed PDA.
Stop repeating this lie. Charles and Camilla have been affectionate with each other in public numerous times. Hell, even W&K displayed some PDA in the first two years of their marriage. They fact that they don’t anymore has nothing to do with imaginary protocols, but I imagine Cambridge fans will cling to that reasoning in place of less pleasant realities.
You mean private casual walks on tour that happen to be photographed by the media. 😁
“Private casual walks” like up in Norfolk?
Yes, Nic19, yes, lol. That’s what I meant. Maybe I’m being dated. I read somewhere that the seniors didn’t do it, but everyone is right here. Charles and Diana and Charles and Camilla have done it. I love it when Harry and Meghan do it.
When they first got married, their lack of PDA was actually upsetting to me. William and Kate had just got married, were still on their honeymoon and they weren’t allowed to hold hands? I was indignant on their behalf and ready to storm the palace to give them the right to hold hands in public. My how things have changed.
The GLOW Meghan has during this farewell tour reminds me of that glow she had right before and after marrying harry….that is right before the smear campaign. She clearly got her mojo back. Go Duchess Meghan!
The “Could Have Had a Bad Bitch aka Stuntin” tour continues…
And that green…the whole look is *chef’s kiss*
The tour has been amazing! Meghan has looked fantastic in every look. I love the drama of this green outfit! This is surely a “you keep your petty royal family I am on to bigger things” outfit! Kate looks like Kate in a coat dress…
What’s going on with Sophie? She should really not be choosing sides!
Sophie was cackling at the AA priest during H&M’s wedding. Not surprised at all by her behavior.
I don’t remember that about Sophie, but I recall Zara openly making faces and maybe the York sisters trying to hide their laughter.
Sophie has always had rumours about how petty and unkind she is, hasn’t she? Wasn’t there some big thing about photos of her shouting at a staff member or something? She reminds me of that quote from Superstore about white ladies, and how they’re always the first to lose it when something doesn’t go their way, lol.
Sophie turns whichever way the wind is blowing. She’s trying to get in with Will and Kate.
She was known as ‘the cow’ in the first few years because she was absolutely horribile to the staff, IIRC.
Meghan looks breathtaking and I love that Harry’s coat liner matched her dress.
Kate looks tired and her dress was dated and dull. I wonder if she pulled it out of her closet to wear today because it was red like Meghan’s last dress or if she was always planning on bringing out some tired old dress.
Saw a clip after they were seated. They’re sitting next to Edward and Sophie and were happily chatting with Edward, which I thought was interesting.
Chatting with Edward but Sophie was ignoring them.
I don’t think Sophie was ignoring them. I just think she wasn’t going to lean across Edward to talk to Meghan before a church service. It gets awkward sometimes with too many people leaning over each other to talk. And I think she just has a touch of RBF sometimes.
she may not like Meghan or Harry, but if Edward was engaging with them like that, then I don’t think there’s any significant bad blood.
@Becks1 – RBF????
@ Bay – RBF = resting bitch face
He was a theatre kid, too
@Becks1 Kate has quite a RBF as well.
I bet he always got cast as the shrubbery.
Wow I’ve never seen a side cape so I appreciate she brought something new! Could be fitted better but it’s so refreshing. I can actually see young Anne or Maxima or Charlene or Sheikha Mozah wearing this (of course Sheikha would wear a modest variation). Maxima and Charlene love capes! More please!
CP Mary of Denmark brought caped dresses for the investiture of the Japanese emperor. She looked splendid!
What do you suppose Queen’s Mary, Letizia, Maxima, Rania, etc. think of the way the BRF has handled Meghan?
(missed you, glad you’re back AH)
I have no idea what other royals think of the BRF. They mostly see Edward and Sophie – because the BRF never send senior royals, even to big events in other RFs (like the weddings of the heirs or big jubilees). For non-brits the BRF has always kinda looked really snobby in relation to their European colleagues (relatives).
The color looks magnificent on Meghan, the fit is not great though.
As for Kate……….Sorry I fell asleep!
That cape/scarf thing is the coolest. She looks SO GLAM I love it.
Meghan looks stunning. Basically she ended Kate.
It’s cold and very windy here at the moment, the scarf/cape thing looks cosy to me particularly for sitting around in Westminster Abbey. Loving the colour too.
Like Meghan’s dress, hate her hat. Like Kat’s hat, hate the coat thing she does as the buttons just emphasize her thinness and it’s her go-to.
Glad that we were all spared the “being terribly forgiving to each other pap stroll.” Another smart move by M&H and I’m glad K&W copyKate’d that. This is how you start controlling the narrative.
@Poolmom, it’s a matter of perception. Some see Hollywood, some see glamorous, others see beautiful and chic. I choose the latter.
Yassss girl, throw it down!!! I LOVE Meghan’s outfit-it’s amazing!! Kate looks good too…but not as good though.
Are we sure that Jessica actually ever styled Meghan? If you can recommend a reputable source for this information, I would appreciate it. I have only read this in the DM and thought that it was debunked by Jessica herself.
If she did, maybe it was just done on an informal, “for a friend” basis?
Thank you xara. I mentioned that exact same thing above. I don’t think she was ever her stylist. I think she was given an assigned stylist to work with who was under strict instruction from the Buckingham chief stylist to ensure she followed protocol.
I think that Meghan relied on Jessica as a friend to give her input and advice, just like the rest of us with our own friends. I dunno about any debunking, but I think Meghan was struggling to fit in per the standards set down for her by the RF (implicitly ofc, they’d never out and out tell anyone what to wear, that’s not how the Queen does things), and she probably roped in Jessica Mulroney as well as a couple of her other friends into a group Skype chat so that they could see what her choices were and work from there.
Thanks all. I’ve had the same question. The other weekend I had no friends around to yay or nay a dress and accessories; I realized how often I rely on them and vice versa. Luckily at the event I went to a female security person hyped me all up and down. Gotta love sisterhood.
I keep forgetting that Meghan and Kate are the same age! Kate’s dated clothes, posture, etc. make her seem older. Even though she’s a bit shorter, Meghan seems “tall” the way she carries herself. If only her “glow” could be packaged and sold….
I won’t lie, I would like the red jacket a century ago. It feels very My Fair Lady.
Meghan in green is just ridiculously beautiful. That woman can wear colors. So happy to see her out there sparkling. THIS is what Cambridge’s were afraid of. The Sussexes are glamorous and modern and charismatic.
The color is great but that fit is terrible. Kate looks impeccable.
Impeccably 1885…
I do work to not put down Kate and I don’t even know why. But, yes @L84Tea, my thought with Kate was a Wonder Woman reject outfit when she’s trying on clothes upon arriving in London. It certainly won’t offend, though.
If that were true Kate wouldn’t have pulled that pap stroll at the book store the other day. Kate was all levels of petty today. As the future queen she should be above it and have fans swoon over the 1000th version of her coatdress. The Cambridges failed at leadership and that what counts.
Andrew was a no show that god.
Meghan’s outfit is revenge dress no.3
I love the revenge dresses. I would buy the red dress in a second! But she has looked amazing at every event.
On the CBC website you can see Willileaks and Kween Katie walking down the aisle and Wm is waving and grinning at everyone like an idiot. As soon as they sit down he barely looks at Meghan as she smiles at him and maybe says “duh… hello” but ignores Harry completely. Kate doesn’t even look around. Of all the stupid, childish nonsense….if he’d wanted to win the day all he’d have to have done was lean over, shake Harry’s hand and make a f*cking effort. Well both he and Kate shot themselves in the foot with that blunder.
Are they covering it on CBC Newsworld I wonder or just online?
I watched it on youtube.com
That’s what I don’t get. Do W&K not realize how great it would have made THEM look to be friendly and cordial to the Sussexes?? What a wasted opportunity for good PR, but I guess they just can’t help themselves in hiding their petty. Because that entrance was THE definition of petty.
They’re not bright enough to play the “game” at that level. They are, ‘entry level’ petty where they leave a record of how man/petty/ridiculous they are by their childish behaviour.
Yes, was coming here to say this — just saw a video of Meghan (and less so, Harry), smiling and greeting W&K as they arrived. Will gave a weak greeting, but Kate just flat out ignored and iced them out. I’m sorry, but the Cambridges are 100% the childish and petty ones in this “feud”. They need to grow up and act like adults, far less the royalty they supposedly are. Sad.
I love that Meghan properly smiled at that man baby and he didn’t know what to do. Kate just flat out ignored them and didn’t even look. I think Willy was expecting them to cold shoulder them, but Meghan is a pro and she isn’t gonna give them the satisfaction. Sussex 1- keenbridges 0.
Came here just to say I am pleased to not see the Duke of York present.
Agree. So glad he was missing. Not sure why Princess Anne was not there
Princess Anne is not here for the drama, lol. She would probably would rather be riding her horse!
That cape flip! Stunning! Meghan is working it this week. 😍💚
Meghan looks gooorgeous. I’m not even a fan of the dress, but I love the colour so much that I’ll stan for it anyway. Kate is surprisingly having one of her better outings, if not one of her best so far. After all the absolutely horrendous fug from the Ireland tour, she’s actually quite refreshing in the red coat dress. This look is really her old faithful, in that she can always pull it off, no questions asked. Maybe because she feels the most confident in this look? Who knows.
Tbh, when you compare the two ladies here (and comparisons are inevitable, lmao), the fact is that Meghan comes out on top. Even with the fact that her dress is not necessarily a winner. The eye popping colour, the fascinator, the makeup, coupled with this being the pinnacle of a truly fantastic round of events for the Sussexes–all of it makes her look so good. So engaged, so charismatic. It’s such a crying shame that a woman like her, who is eager and willing to serve and do good for others, was tossed out because? People couldn’t deal with the fact that she was too good? You can’t be too good because then you’re showing off, and that’ll make the underachievers look bad? I dunno.
There’s such a deep, unique vein of insecurity within British society, especially the upper-classes, and it’s bewildering. All societies in the world have their own specific insecurities, and they all have their blind spots, but the strange sort of classicism that’s endemic to British society really sets it apart I think. You have an aristocratic class that truly believes they’re a set apart because of their birth and their titles and their lineage, and yet they spend so much of their lives tearing each other down in such petty, destructive ways. If you have so much confidence that you’re better than everyone else because of your background, your titles, your poshness, the privileges of your class, etc…why would you be so threatened by a biracial woman from America to the point where you legit had to run her out of the family? If your status in society is so great, then why doesn’t it speak for itself? Why be so vicious towards this woman?
Arrested development?
Meghan looks INCREDIBLE. I actually like Kate’s red dress, too, even though it somehow looks even more costume-y.
GREEN!!! Love the hat, very old Hollywood.
Kate wore the coat Christmas 2018 when Meghan wore navy blue. Kate wore fuchsia to Eugenie’s wedding when Meghan wore navy blue. Kate wore red to last year’s Commonwealth service when Meghan wore white.
Somebody’s light ain’t gonna be dimmed no more.
The coat Kate is wearing does nothing for her, accentuates her thinness. The best look was the queen, love that colour.
Poolmom, seriously, give it a rest. Royal Dish misses you. And keep playing that tired 8-track about the FFQ in your head. Maybe one day you’ll actually convince yourself that it doesn’t matter. Until then, the celebrity will keep dunking on your fave.
I don’t like either look, but that shade of green really compliments Meghan well at least. Kate looks fine, it’s just boring.
I’ve never seen anyone look this glorious in something so poorly fitted.
It’s amazing.
Love the red ensemble on Kate. The green dress rocks but wish it were of a thicker fabric
She looks great! This is how you wear monochromatic green. Fantastic!
I want to know what changed with the Order of Service! So very interesting. Is this the Queen trying to “reestablish” herself as head of the Commonwealth, so those within the Commonwealth don’t associate anything with her messy heirs.
I didn’t see William acknowledge Harry & Meghan. What I focused on was Meghan being nice & waving at two people ignoring her presence. Not a good look for the Cambridges at all.
It is very clear Meghan is using this time in the UK to show off the fashion she could have been slaying with for the last two years and I’m loving it. She’s worn some great outfits since she became a Duchess but it was so clear she was trying to hold back and try to adhere to “royal” standards and not be accused of being too “glam Hollywood” or “outshine” anyone. Well now it doesn’t matter and she can wear pretty much whatever she wants. I love this dress on her, the cape is fierce, and the hat looks great. My only quibble is the outfit doesn’t seem to have the greatest tailoring, I actually thought her dress might be separates and I thought the bottom part was trousers when I first saw pictures dues to all the bunching. So I can’t tell if it’s too big or too small but that’s really the only thing, otherwise it’s a killer outfit. She looks very happy and relaxed.
As for Kate, I can’t criticize her, she looks perfectly appropriate in her repeat coat dress. I like this coat on her and thinks she looks great too. As for Kate and William pulling out of the procession thing, who knows what that’s about.
Came on here to say this. I think she was told to stick to neutral and leave bright colors to Kate.
Kate looks really well put together here but it’s very dejavu of her. In fact for a moment I thought that a mistake had been made and last year’s photos had been posted by mistake because William is dressed almost exactly the same as last year except this year he’s got visible polka dots on his tie.
Kate, for God and Queen, get a new silhouette. Coat dress. Buttons. God it is all so monotonous! With Meghan and Letizia you never know quite what to expect. That’s exciting. Sometimes there’s a dud, sometimes there’s something that takes the breath away. But they change it up and leave us in eager anticipation of the next event.
Meghan’s dress appears to fit fine in videos. I guess this particular dress just doesn’t photograph as well or there was an awkward moment with a couple of photos or something. Whatever…she looks amazing. The clean lines of her outfit are gorgeous. Yes, THIS is how you wear green!
It also looks like she might be wearing hosiery of some kind. I hope that will shut up the people who are always clutching their pearls about that.
She looks fabulous and I love how the lining of Harry’s suit matches her dress. That took planning and tailoring so I doubt she wore green to troll Kate. I don’t think Kate wore red to copycat her.
But isn’t that the Queen in light blue? Granny is trolling all of us!
Sophie almost looks perfect but the darts at the boobs are awkward. I can’t tell if she was snubbing the Sussexes or just felt leaning over her husband to talk would make her look common. Edward certainly looked delighted to talk to Meghan. They looked like old best friends. Interesting.
William did acknowledge Meghan nicely and included Harry in his nod from what I could see. And that was about it. Charles seemed to have eyes only for Meghan as he went to his seat so I guess they were chatting a bit. But it was a bad angle so I don’t know.
I can’t wait for more details on this tomorrow.
I didn’t see Charles arrive at his seat, I’ll have to find that video. I agree that William acknowledged Meghan (barely, but he did) but Harry seemed to ignore him, which I found strange bc he had to know the cameras were going to pick up on any interaction. But it doesn’t look like he even nodded or anything. And I’ll have to watch again, but i’m pretty sure Kate did not acknowledge either of them.
My interpretation of the Wessexes is what you mentioned, that Sophie felt leaning over Edward would have been awkward. Maybe she didn’t want to talk to Meghan so was happy with that, but I don’t think she was out and out snubbing her.
The Cambridges are getting some negative headlines though which is interesting – its a bad look for them bc you can tell very clearly that Meghan smiled and greeted them, and then for Kate to ignore her….hmm.
Wait someone said above Harry did smile, so i’ll have to rewatch, but if so scratch that part of my comment, lol. But if so, that just makes the whole thing that much more awkward.
And again I wonder why W&K weren’t part of the procession. I understand what someone said above about the commonwealth, and that makes sense to me, but if that was the reason it would have been hammered out before today. The last minute change is really surprising to me.
@Becks1 – I think the last min change was because someone didn’t want them in the procession and the reply from TQ or Chuck was that neither of his sons was going to be in it. Could this be the start of reining the man child and his stepford wife in? Kate is just as complicit in all this as he is. I think thats why they (she in particular) was looks so sour – they were denied the opportunity to lord it over the Sussex’s.
It will be interesting to see how the Cambridges react to the negative headlines? We all know that they do – so expect some pap shots of the kids to be released or some lovey dovey PDA from W&K trying to fake what H&M have.
I wonder how many instagram followers they will buy after this!!
Kate looked like she was sucking lemons. And we know Kate has never played well with other women, esp if they outshine her in any way.
I’m very interested in how Meghan was with Camilla. She seemed very happy to see Charles but her smile dropped some when she saw Camilla and she then looked at her program. No greeting. Very interesting.
Yes, Guest. Charles eyes were on Meghan and she curtsed to him. That was sweet. But wonder if this is the first time he’s seen her which would be really sad.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…the more I see Meghan, the more I realize why this song means so much to her. Never dim your light for anyone…never! Godspeed and safe travels H and M. We’re looking forward to the next chapter of your lives and rooting for you guys! You both fought a good fight…you finished with grace…well done!
So I think we can safely conclude that Harry has no problem being out-sparkled by his wife. I mean, yes, they look great together as a team, and their color matching speaks volumes, but let’s be real who everyone’s eyes are drawn to first.
Harry seems to love it!! He loves when people are excited over Meghan.
IKR? While the rest of this family is jealous of spouses and siblings, Harry somehow developed the confidence to be a true partner.
Saw the video of Willileaks and Keen not even bothering to say hello back to Meghan. Sorry if someone commented on it above but these people are so sad. Props to M&H. go get your life!
Now this is how you do a f**k you exit! Well done Meghan! Let your inner light shine through and through!
I adored Meghan’s dress. Beautiful! I did notice William give a slight nod but Kate just ignored both of them. Sophie didn’t acknowledge them either which was strange.
I love Meghan’s wardrobe this week; I may not have loved every outfit, but her confidence and attitude has elevated everything she’s worn. When she and Harry were first engaged/married, she seemed to be trying to play her “role” as royal duchess-wife of the spare and deferred to Kate. Now Meghan just DGAF and is showing the real Meghan Markle. I am here for it (and Harry seems to be as well ;)). She is just not going to let them get to her; she will smile, be polite and let her personality shine. You do you, Meghan!!
Attitude is everything. The art is being true to yourself while supporting others.
My theory:
Before her Ireland tour, Kate was given the head up from her fav Emilia Wickstead, that DOS would be getting a bespoke Green dress from that crew. Queue up CopyKate trying to trend the green looks narrative ahead of the Megs. If Emilia makes a bespoke dress for MM, why is the fit not perfect, as her fits have been perfect for Kate ?
Coincidence or conspiracy?
If I were Meghan I’d never wear Emilia anyway with her petulant sht over the wedding dress being a copycat, being a bad fit, and her hair wisps – only to send her out in a badly fitted dress.
too much time?
Megan has never looked better but her outfit is very ill fitting. I find that lot with her.
Kate looks super clean and polished- but Megan is totally upstaging her! Thanks
They both look pretty. Meghan’s skin and makeup have been notable this whole week—really lovely.
Omg, Kaiser has opened my eyes to the buttonphilia and now I can’t stop seeing buttons everywhere!!
Seeing Meghan look amaze-balls makes think: hell yeah, THAT’s how you should rock it. I believe she was told to dim her style down for Kate and now all bets are off the table. Love it!
Meghan looks so beautiful and youthful. Kate looks old and haggard….sorry but it’s the truth
I just watched a Youtube clip of William and Kate taking their seats. Harry and Meghan smiled and said hello and William and Kate ignored them. Kate didn’t even look at them. I really like Harry and Meghan and I always tried to root for Kate but no more! Kate couldn’t have been more rude. William and Kate showed their true selves – horrible.
Insecure even as a future queen. Sad.
I agree. They are very rude. Jealousy is a bad thing.
I think Kate does whatever keeps her husband’s next temper tantrum on delay.
Both Kate and Megan look nice.
I have not found the clip of the interaction.
It’s sad when you can’t say a simple hello..
It was excruciating. Meghan visibly said “Hello” with a big smile on her face and Wm completely iced her. Kate didn’t even bother to turn her head, the only person who engaged with Meghan and Harry was Edward. Sophie didn’t even look up. What a shoddy, immature and stupid move, the Cambridges could have gained a ton of good will by swallowing their gallons of pride and making nice, but no…they’re too childish and petty to make one iota of effort.
I’ve felt somewhat sorry for Kate all through this debacle because she seems to be the royal doormat for her bonehead of a husband, but no more. They have proven without a shadow of a doubt that they are horrible, spiteful people.
Jaded…in fairness to Wills, he did do a half-hearted nod in their direction. Kate, on the other hand, looked straight ahead.
I realize now how petty and jealous William and Kate are. They obviously were trying to score points with the H & M haters and/or possibly other members of the RF. I’ll be so glad when the Sussex’s get the hell out of there, can just imagine how anxious they are to leave.
Beautiful colour for both duchesses, although both styles are a bit fussy/matronly for my personal taste, both are totally appropriate for this event!
Judging completely on body language, I speculate that Harry has just had it, he’s so pissed off with his racist family and their unreasonable punishments and double standards, that he pulled out first, with the Cambridges following suit. Meghan is a total pro, she can put on a huge smile and fake reconciliation if needed in order to leave on good terms. Going further, it makes sense to me that Kate would react with anger to any kind of disruption to the family dynamic. Maybe she’s giving H and M the cold shoulder, maybe she’s afraid of saying the wrong thing, or maybe William wanted to make an effort to appear friendly and look like the “bigger man”, so only he gets to credit for trying? Lol we’re gonna break this shit down like it’s the zabruder film.
Sometimes, you just gotta put on your super heroine cape when dealing with villains! These people are villains.
There is a pic on the Daily Fail, Sophie, Edward, Will, Kate all chatting and smiling at each other quite animatedly. All four of them ignoring Harry and Meghan. You can see the fury in Harry’s eyes…Meghan looks slightly self conscious and uneasy.
The lot of these vipers MUST suck up to William, they will be dependent on him for their continued freebies.
Can you imagine Harry and Meghan being dependent on Willy Wanker? Imagine how much poorer he would treat them, especially Meghan. And he wouldn’t hide his disdain either.
Harry made the right call.
In the words of Sandor Clegane….F—CK The (future) King and his chicken lip future keen Kween.
Oh, and the Rose Bush will bloom again. Sooner than they think.
Poor Permanently Pissed Off Bill and Lazy Kate. Their plan to get rid of Meghan has spectacularly backfired on them. They will be feeling the repercussions for years and hating their own lives.
Kate’s style is so dated and stuffy, the closest this look dates to is probably the Victorian era, with a bit on 1940s, but without that cool quirkiness. Because she doesn’t have the personality to pull-off style from a different era, it just looks dated.
Meghan owns that look. I would never wear a bright green like that, but she totally killed it. Meghan ‘wears’ her outfits, they don’t ‘wear her’. I think Kate’s outfits tend to ‘wear her’.
I know I’m just repeating most comments on here but….my god, Meghan is a stunning woman. A charismatic, fully present, stunning woman. I’m so glad this messed up family isn’t going to dim her shine.
I love “fully present.” Indeed.
Both Kate and Megan look great! It is possible. Slob? Really? Jeez!
I take it back! K is not a slob. Lazy yes. I was in a rush this morning.
Even the DM has an article that many are scolding Will and Kate for not greeting Harry and Meghan. Kate went to later reception and greeted everyone there, cannot say hello to Harry. They are the lowest of the low.
If William was any kind of person at all he would have stuck his hand out to shake Harry’s hand and wished him luck. He does not have the makings of a king. Diana must be rolling over in her grave.
The DM now has a headline how harry and Meghan were ANGRY for being dropped and saint William and Kate ‘stepped in” to Diffuse the situation. William clearly got on the phone and threw a tantrum at someone after that video. Gawd, I can’t even deal with him!
I just watched the video on DM in slow-mo and focused on Harry’s face during the exchange and noted 2 things: 1). Harry says “Hey Kate” which leads me to think that at the very least Kate did briefly greet Harry (if not the both of them—hard to say with her back turned to the camera) and 2). He has a sort of devilish grin and bemused expression as he waits to see how his bro will receive them and again, it’s hard to gauge Will’s side of the interaction since his back is turned but Harry does greet him “Hello” with a clenched smile. Needless to say the whole thing is awkward and tense and it’s almost comically obvious these two are fighting/not speaking.
I don’t t think she was trolling. She would’ve had these outfits already. She was obviously determined to wear really bold, eye catching colors for this last hurrah. But did it have an unintended effect? Absolutely.
And small claps to William for saying hello. Boo to Kate for not responding to their greeting. And good for Edward to be actively engaged in chatting with both Sussexes. Real talking and leaning in not a brief exchange.
I stupidly clicked on some comment threads in my news feed that were all “Harry doesn’t look happy at all here.” I can agree he seems a bit pensive. Who wouldn’t be? But you’re telling me he doesn’t think he’s the luckiest guy in the world? Sure, Jan.
Meghan looking young and glorious; Kate looking like an antique doll that has been dusted down and wound up, brought out only because it is tradition for one bad fairy to be present at each Abbey service. Mechanically she walks and grins – do not expect her to turn her head for this jointed doll would snap.
20 bucks says Waity will be wearing a cape soon….
It looks like W/K had a tense conversation after they sat down. Both look disgusted. They really seem to be unhappy. I think-pure conjecture- that H/M weren’t to be in the precession this year and TQ removed W/K after she found out a few things from H. —Jmo.
The Fail has already started spinning. Harry and Meghan were not supposed to be in the procession and Harry got “emotional” about being left out so Wills and Kate opted to sit out as an olive branch to avoid another royal scene despite the programs being already printed. Yeah, right.
More likely the Queen felt bad that Harry was hurt and as a parting gift said, “I’ll make Wills and Kate sit out too.”
Its clear that W&K were pissed at not being part of the procession and are blaming H&M – I think William threw a tantrum and the result was the Cambridges being taken out of the procession. Something big went down as TQ would not do something like this lightly and there is no way the Cambridges would offer not to be a part of it.
Even though this dress has a poor fit, Megs is definitely shining here. She has a sparkle that can’t be duplicated even when her dress isn’t perfect. Kate is Kate: good colour and fit, but as usual dependable and boring. Can’t really imitate the star power of Megs. I do feel sorry for her though. Just imagine everyone comparing yourself to Megs and knowing you aren’t ever going to shine! And imagine being so jealous of it that you would force Meg to dim herself cause your self esteem is so crap! What a bummer.
Megs could outshine anyone while wearing a flour sack.
The clip I saw of the church interaction was sad. Even People is saying Kate avoided eye contact. I felt sorry for Meghan- had the vibe of the new girl at school being frozen out. I wonder if that’s why Harry looked pissed at times.
Anthony Joshua had a speech praising multicultural Britain and diversify and the irony of that on day of last Sussexes’ engagement
I also feel very sad for William& Harry as brothers. I wonder what Charles& Diana’s family/friends think of the clear distance between them. I hope they can work it out somehow.
I’m surprised the Queen was quite muted. Kate& Meghan brought the colour.
Oooo whee Meghan’s been serving looks this entire tour. I love that green dress, the hat, and especially the side cape…LOVE IT!!! 😍🔥
She is simply stunning and so chic. Well done, Duchess!!!
I don’t think it matters what Kate and Meghan wore today. What matter’s the most is the pain on Harry’s face. As Meghan always does, she was looking for the closest camera to get the best shot of her. She was once again oblivious to her husband. Harry was truly suffering leaving his family and his Country behind. It’s just pathetic.
Do you honestly believe that William/Kate make Harry more happy than Meghan and Archie? I’m sure Harry was sad probably about the whole sorted affair but to say Meghan doesn’t care is just radiculous. The fact that his brother refused to acknowledge him probably hurt him more than anything. William is a complete ASS.
Harry has made it very clear who takes priority in his life over everything else: his wife and his son. The royals will just have to deal with it, and so will every else. That includes you.
Bawahahahahaha!! You are too funny Carole…I mean Shirley.
You must a watched a different event than we did. Meghan and Harry talked and Meghan and Edward talked. She wasn’t looking at the camera the whole time. If Harry was in pain it’s because his loser brother (who smeared his wife to keep his affair out of the news) was in front of him. Harry was nice enough to tell him “hi” but William was rude and ignored him. Leaving is the best decision that HARRY has made.
Did you even watch the videos, @Shirley? Do you know Harry personally? The reason I ask is because it sounds like you’re making negative stuff up to fit your own agenda. Walking into the church, Harry looked as attentive and vigilant as he always does when they’re in or around crowds. And, as Marie said above, the DoS was engaged in conversation with PE and Harry while in the church. Sadly, what you’ve stated here is the same mess that’s being repeated over and over again on SM and royal gossip sites by fixated women who think they know what’s best for Harry. For your sake, it’s a good thing this is their last public appearance as senior royals. I don’t think some of you could handle it much longer.
No way, man. The way I read this, Megan is better at faking it… she pastes the smile and pretends all is ok. Harry is pissed at his family, and doesn’t care to mask it
What a crap thing to say and you know it. Again, as has been said many times, everyone acts like Harry is the only one with the feelings. The way Meghan has been treated is disgusting and demoralizing, and everyone acts as though it hasn’t affected her. She chooses to hold her head up, and she supports her husband.
Can I borrow your wedgie ball? I am sure you must be successful given that you know that a woman smiling is apparently something else………..there is nothing worse than the crab mentality or the tall poppy syndrome, a lot in the UK royalists circle seem to have
I think both women are amazing both champion amazing causes. Now Kates dress while i love the colour and cut it is a bit meh and dull as we always see her in that style. Pehaps its because she is married to the future king she is more restricted? Or the fact while she has an amazing slender figure and is on the tall side (i wish i were taller) and a conservative personality it keeps her choices limited? wish she would step out of the box and be a bit more wild with some bold patterns and prints even styles! Onto Meghans dress i love the colour it looks so stunning on her but i feel a more taylored style and minus that silly cape would make it just dead on perfect. The blue VB dress was to die for! The cut and colour just looked perfect. Meghans figure is amazing she is slender and petite which can be hard to dress for as you can look stunning aka Meghan in the blue VB or like a sausage bursting from its casing aka Kim K in anything by her husband or anything he picks! Both ladies nearly always hit the mark but this time both havent kate is boring and meghan a tad too ill styled!
@Punkypuss Phew. So many passive-aggressive backhanded compliments.
Right? Meghan was beautiful & regal yet most of these alleged Meghan fans felt compelled to nitpick imaginary fit issues…on a bespoke dress. If these are fans who needs enemies.
@bibi no just honest critisim. That blue vb dress on meghan was perfect and i do wish she had worn that to the commonwealth ceremony not the green dress.
I do think both ladies are amazing and probably could of done so much teaming up. Hopefully things sort out.
This is what all of this is about. A jealous brother and sister-in-law. It was so clear today. William barely speaking and Kate couldn’t look them in the eye. William and Kate’s tour of Ireland was a big boring failure. No one cared enough to write about them even the RR left on the first plane out of Ireland to cover Meghan and Harry for their first engagement. On que Meghan and Harry reminded them of what they would be missing. World Wide headlines and photos that could send their children to University. Not once, not twice but over and over again the Sussex’s delivered. Meanwhile, William and Kate couldn’t delivery ONE picture out of that Ireland Tour that was relevant to anyone but their fake Instagram followers.
LMAO. “Fake Instagram followers” had me hollering.
I bet Harry’s phone will develop mysterious issues and drop calls the next time the Queen calls to “order”/”Invite” them to the next family get together.
Apparently the programme for the service listed H and M coming in separately with W and K coming with Queen and Charles but W and K opted to also come in separately too…
They wouldn’t have been that rude and salty if they had OPTED to be out of the procession lol
It’s very obvious they were told to sit down
Fabulous Meghan to Fussy Kate
Emerald perfection, love this
I think the reason the Cambridges didn’t walk is optics: Sons of the heir apparent, one walks and the other doesn’t? Looks pretty bad. W and K are getting dragged for Rude-gate.
Megan looks gorgeous again! That dress is beautifully tailored and draped. So interesting. AND NO DAMN BUTTONS. The color pops. The hat is perfect. Her styling and makeup are lovely. Well done! She is also serving up a big FU in these appearances. She looks radiant and has the perfect smile plastered on her face. Even if she has to go home and take three yoga classes a day for next month it was worth it to show those clowns who she is and who they are not going to push into a corner. Kate looks so fusty by comparison. Hat is too much, hair is over done, coat is the same damn thing she always wears. Boring! It all looks so dated like she just stepped out of 1980. She also looks very peevish. She probably knows full well that she can’t compete with little miss thing beaming in the back row, and it sits on her last nerve. She’s not even trying to make nice. LOL. I bet the new work schedule is already making her snappish. She didn’t think she’d have to play this part for awhile and here she is. Chin up love. This is what you came for, non?
Nearly 120 comments and majority could not resist taking a dig at Meghan regarding the “fit” of her gorgeous green bespoke dress….
SMH
Agree. All this fuss over darts and the curve of her hips. The dress is fine and looks gorgeous on her. Loved everything she wore in this trip. She’s stunning. That’s it. Don’t know why people think a person in motion will have their clothes not move with them. Don’t get this “ she needs more tailoring, blah, blah, blah”. Like that’s going to fix everything they’ve been through this past year and a half. Meghan and Harry did their part splendidly. It’s the others who look like peevish amateurs.
Kate doesn’t have the VAVAVOOM feels. Drab really. She’s reliable and doesn’t rock the boat. She’s fit to be a FFQ though. Good luck and much love to the Sussexes. Their last royal round was a success. I’ll miss them so.
I think both women look lovely.
I want to like Meghan’s look but the cape looks like it’s choking her a little. It could just be me, but it looks like it’s heavy and weighing on her neck, which would make me feel very uncomfortable if I were wearing it
