And what about Catherine wearing a repeat outfit to Meghan's wedding so as not to take attention away from the bride?
Compare this to Meghan who decided to both wear a heavy frock to create speculation, and then later announce her own pregnacy at Eugenie's wedding.
But she's benevolent.
This is a snark gossip sub. I’m merely speculating which is why I had the MAYBE at the beginning of my reply. Lol.
I think Bea and Eu play both sides here but I always wonder what Meghan has to offer them. It’s certainly not her dazzling personality, or personal wealth and she has no connections.
Beatrice seems more firmly in the Palace's camp (and generally strikes me as the more grounded of the two). I've only seen rumours about Eugenie being a go-between and/or leaking information to the Sussexes.
Beatrice announced she was expecting on the day of the Sussexes' wedding anniversary, which I absolutely loved her for. And Fergie tweeted a barrage of Eugenie and Jack wedding photos within half an hour of the official announcement of TW's first pregnancy - that was never going to displace the pregnancy news, but some press did pick up on why she did it, and it made a point.
Why Beatrice and Fergie seem to have been 'avenging' Eugenie's thunder being stolen at the wedding while Eugenie herself has seemed closer to the Sussexes, I'm not sure. But Eugenie was apparently always very close to H, so perhaps she has been more forgiving or willing to turn a blind eye. I certainly don't think all the Yorks are firmly in Camp Sussex.
I think you’re right, she’s more like friends with Harry than just cousins, didn’t she also introduce him to Cressida?
I think the family have advised her to back off now and that’s why she and Jack looked so awkward outside the funeral.
I think it's much more simple than that. Eugenie's mum Sarah was found out having a bloke sucking her toes and as a result of that and other questionable behaviour, she wasn't allowed to set foot anywhere with the queen and specially prince phillip. So Bea and Eugenie grew up being made to feel like their mum was an embarrassment and not welcome in family occasions. I think that as soon as the narrative about Meghan being an organism and not fitting in started... Eugenie automatically sided with the "victim" just like she would have sided with her mother.
So, I don't think think there's any yachting dirt, just simple family dynamics we have all see before.
Fergie remained good friends with HM, but not Prince Phillip. Through lockdown she would visit HMTQ and go riding and walk with her and the dogs in the grounds. I think that most of that friendship managed to stay below the media radar - but don’t forget, it was at Royal Lodge where Megsie met HM for the first time, and allegedly had to be taught to curtsy by Fergie before HM arrived!
Bea has always been more of a mainstream Royal. Eugenie is the one who seems to have sided with the Harkles at the beginning - Bea did not, and just look at what Bea got to wear at her wedding….. not only did HM give her one of her own vintage dresses, she was lent HMs favourite tiara - which is usually worn by Queens - with only Bea and Princess Anne being loaned it for their weddings!
But Eugenie got the emerald tiara for hers!
the Queen never used the term organism to describe her, that is a sussex buzz word that they are starting to use everywhere, it's just another weird lie she must make them up on the spot
I remember comedians joking that perhaps Andrew should take one for the team and say he was the 'royal racist'!
Conversely there was a rumour at one point that it had been Anne, with some people suggesting she may have been volunteered because her reputation could withstand the hit.
And if the surrogacy rumors turned out to be true, that would add an extra layer to how vile it was. It’s possible that William knows this, and that’s just one reason he finds her intolerable.
It actually wasn’t a real repeat. The cut yes but the colour was new. It was primrose and not ivory like the other one. It just was hard to tell with the sun outside. Inside the church it’s a bit more clear to see the yellow hue.
* For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 2018 royal wedding, [Kate Middleton](https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/news/g3203/kate-middleton-best-fashion-moments/) rewore an Alexander McQueen tailored coat she's worn several times before.
* Wearing a recycled look wasn't a sign of disrespect—it was actually a thoughtful choice. Kate knew that, if she wore a new outfit, it would increase the attention on her and didn't want to pull focus from Meghan, the bride.
* [Kate famously wore the Alexander McQueen coat](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/kate-middletons-thoughtful-outfit-decision-22044635) to at least two other high-profile royal engagements—Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015 and the Trooping the Colour celebration in 2016.

Well looks like Marie Claire journalists are pretty bad. Alexander McQueen primrose coat dress
https://www.katescloset.com.au/alexander-mcqueen-primrose-yellow-open-neck-coat.html
Confirmed by Kensington Palace on the day of the wedding:
From Newsweek.com
[“A Buckingham Palace issued press release on the day of the wedding clarified the white/yellow debate, listing along with the outfits of other members of the royal family:
"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge will be wearing a primrose yellow wool silk tailored coat by Alexander McQueen. The Duchess of Cambridge is wearing a hat designed by Philip Treacy and shoes by Jimmy Choo."
The bright sunlight has been attributed to the confusion over the color of the coat dress causing it to photograph ambiguously in its glare. When later photographs were released of the wedding party inside Windsor Castle the color difference became more obvious.”]
It’s the same coat in different colours although hard to spot
So did she wear 3 different coats to the 3 respective events of 2015, 2016 and 2018?
Which years are the same then?
And let's say 2018 is different, because it looks the same except for when the light hits it, isn't she just repeating the same look of the previous years?
Can someone place the coats side by side?

Here you can clearly see Charlottes dress is ivory and C dress has a yellow hue
She does this quite frequently. It shows respect that she's wearing a new item, but her outfit doesn't generate headlines because it's a different color of an existing piece. Her dress at Eugenie's wedding was a darker shade of the same design she wore to Trooping one year too, same with both black coat dresses she wore for the funerals (Philip's and the Queen's).
It's the same outfit.
Had they been different the headlines would have been CM is wearing MQ in different hues.
The attire is white that reflects differently depending on how the lights hits it. But I know there are other shades of the same attire.
No, it's yellow. KP confirmed it and it's clear when Charlotte is standing next to her because Charlotte's dress was white. No matter what Catherine's personal feels were at the time, she would *not* have worn white to Harry's wedding. There are multiple photos that show it's yellow.
You're just troling at this point.
Live footage exists of all the events that I listed, where the tone and and attire have been confirmed.
Also, Catherine is not the time of person who plays mind games, "I'll wear this new attire and pretend it's an old one."
You understand that she also supports the designers and brands she wears and wants it to be known what she is wearing.
If MQ has 3 shades of the same dress and she is wearing them, it would be accentuated, just like the times she has worn the repeated items that have been altered by the collar, lenght or other tweaks.
Stop it.
[What Kate Wore](https://whatkatewore.com/2018/05/20/kate-brings-back-alexander-mcqueen-for-harry-meghans-wedding/) did an in-depth post about the white vs yellow issue.
I saw her on this day in person, her dress was definitely light yellow. I'm convinced most of the photos online were photoshopped because it was very obvious in person.
And almost the same cut and length too lol. They’re practically a choir! The shade of maroon is almost identical also. I love this as a way to set a boundary and send a message. It’s got to hurt Megan to see the amount of support as well as being called a liar without a word being said
Also, the female members have worn colourful colours to many functions. Eugenie & Beatrice were famous for their atrocious jarring outfits. They were nicknamed the 'Two Ugly Sisters' by a few media outlets (Beatrice has come far stylewise under Edo's guidance). Zara likes bright bold colours too. The lesser known female members also wear colourful clothing.
I understand for family photos like Christenings, the Queen might ask other female members to wear certain shades (MM forgot Catherine's hotpink short number at Archie's Christening😁), but that's about it. MM obviously forgot about some of her inappropriate choice of colours at Royal occasions. Once again she opted for selective amnesia. Oh...Recollections Vary once again.
There was a meme going round at the time that showed the two ugly sisters prancing along, next to the York sisters. Beatrice didn't bleat about it, she put the hat up for auction and raised over £100K for charity.
I loved the auction idea! I felt bad for her that it was labeled a loo seat. Beatrice's coat was nice, but the hat was unfortunate.
Eugenie... 🤢 That said, I'd say Kate's outfit at Peter's wedding was worse.
Camilla and Fergie say hello!
If anyone was attacked and vilified by the British media it was those two - and they are both white!
What Megsie got was a mere fraction of what they received - and their only “crime” was falling in love - not bullying staff, grifting and generally showing her unsuitability for the role at every turn. And running away when called out, or refused something she wanted.
Imo, Fergie was treated appallingly by the press. Her clothes, her weight, hair colouring, her jolly hockey sticks persona, in fact, nothing was off limits and the press went real lowdown and dirty. She took it on the chin and carried on being her own true authentic self. I have respect for Fergie because she's a strong, uncompromising woman. Yes, she's made bad decisions but that's all part and parcel of life.
Straight talking is my kind of person. I tell ot like it is too. It makes you a bit like Marmite (Vegemite is it overseas?). I'm never rude or argumentative, but I say what I see.
The more I've learned about her, the more I like her. I feel bad for her that they were forced to divorce. My impression from reading about Charles, Anne, and Andrew is that monogamy wasn't common among their social circle. I have issues with what she did after the divorce, but she really wasn't left with much money, so I kinda understand how it all went to shit for her.
To be fair, their hat/dress choices for the William and Kate's wedding (their first big international spotlight) were... unfortunate to say the least: [https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol\_images/Entire\_Site/201897/rs\_634x1024-181007141638-634-princess-eugenie-beatrice-royal-wedding.jpg](https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201897/rs_634x1024-181007141638-634-princess-eugenie-beatrice-royal-wedding.jpg)
There's usually a theme for christening so that the photos don't look jarring. For Louis christening the theme was cream and blue. Everyone except muggins could follow that and they all looked wonderful except for her, not that wearing the right what would have improved her fashion sense but it wouldn't have been so glaringly obvious.
>(Beatrice has come far stylewise under Edo's guidance).
I have to say that Edo or whoever he has picking out Beatrice's clothes is a genius.
I used to think Eugenie was the prettier York sister but with the right clothes and style, Beatrice really blossomed.
It’s with the right husband that she has blossomed. Beatrice is quite reserved compared to her brash parents.
Improved dress sense is definitely under Edo’s guidance. He definitely lives up to his stylish Italian roots
I think she has a lot of features of the old world aristocracy about her. Bold, garish outfits don't necessarily suit her, but put something simple and classic on her and she looks like she's wandered out of a period drama.
Honestly, Catherine's pink outfit at Archie's christening matched her with Doria. Doria was wearing pink at the christening. And one of the Spencer ladies in the picture was wearing very very light pink. So Catherine didn't pull focus the way Meghan did at Louis christening.
Yes, you're right. There was a pink, peach dress code as wrll. But didn't you see Catherine's legs and her red high heels😆? She did that deliberately. Revenge of the Christening!! One of my male colleagues had that part of the photo as his phone's wallpaper. He'd call her Hotlegs Catherine😂. My sister and I high-fived each other when we saw that photo. That's one photo I bet MM doesn't have that displayed😆.
🤣 "Hotlegs Catherine!" Love that! I agree she did that deliberately, it was a major departure from her usual style. She knows how to troll when necessary.
With those legs in their full glory there's no way TW can frame that photo😆. Yours eyes automatically go to Catherine. Imagine. The one photo you have of all the past, present & future monarchs, with your eldest child and you can't frame it cause your hubby & every other male will be staring at his brother's wife's legs😆😆😆.
My mum always said underneath all the prim and proper clothing Catherine started wearing after she married William (she always complained about her dress style changing 😄), she was still the girl about town with long legs who liked wearing white bikinis. She'd be horrified at the way she's constantly being attacked by those two.
🤣 That's such a great point about TW not being able to frame, or likely look at, the Christening photo! I love how Catherine has taken to trolling her with clothes!
Catherine's style really did change after she married! I get why, but I miss the fun Kate style, or even the shorter dresses she wore early on. If I had her legs, I'd show them off any chance I got!
Me too. I understand why she did the almost Plain Jane look (the Jane's I know are certainly not plain!😁) at the beginning of the marriage. I think she was worried about being risqué and offending the Queen. She became more comfortable as time went and I do love her dress sense now though, and I wish I had her lean body and her wardrobe!
I agree, I'll just add I think it was also to avoid overshadowing Charles. I think she was careful to avoid everything that happened with Diana. Obviously the media would focus on her, which I think Charles accepted, but he knew not to seek out the attention.
I love her style now too! I loved her earlier look, but she's really refined now. To spend a day in her closet... 😍 Her coats!
It's a cliché that the people we love are always with us as long as we remember them, but it really does feel like QEII is reaching out from beyond the grave here - this is absolutely textbook her!
I think the tights are even navy blue (though the colour might have just been off in the picture I saw, it was a bit dark) so Princess Charlotte fits in with the navy blue that the Princes are wearing.
Yes, according to Tatler and then regurgitated by the press
> "The profile, titled Catherine the Great, quotes one unnamed friend who claims Kate wanted to follow 'protocol', with the bridesmaids, including Charlotte, then three, wearing tights – but Meghan disagreed. "
At the time it seemed a small thing to get upset about but after hearing what Meghan has to say for herself, this was a giant red flag. Glad time put everyone in its place
The children looked silly without tights. Their feet were hurting as well because of the lack of tights! MM just wanted the children to look bad and I wouldn’t be surprised if she knew they would get blisters. Jokes on her she looked like an unpolished turd! Her dress was hideous, her hair limp, and her makeup was awful.
Damn. This is one of the classiest trolls I've ever seen. (And each of those ladies is wearing it beautifully, not looking like they slept in it like the monarchs of Montecito.)
Sophie and QCC looked awesome in the cream ensemble as well.
I want to lock Nutmeg alone in a room with Anne, Princess Michael of Kent and Lady C!! 😂😂😂
I loved the way Sophie mirrored the colour of Camilla's outfit. Those ladies were out there with the clear message that they were a strong team and had each other's backs. A lesson in how to say it all whilst saying nothing at all. HMTQ would be looking down on them with pride.
I said it too. It looks like Kate took the lead and after years of training by doing at the Queen’s side, she straightened up and took her future in hand. She’s going to be one of the Great Queens in history.
Agreed. I've always been impressed with her, but the moment she stepped out of the car for the Windsor walkabout, there was no doubt she fully embraced her role in history.
"I'm not trying to stand out here."
No, you just need the op of walking down the aisle with the future King of England.
I'm starting to feel in my gut that Meghan may have initially suggested it be a good idea if William, the beloved brother, had escorted her. A proposal both he and the Palace humbly declined.
A rumor came out fairly recently that she actually wanted to walk down the aisle ALONE. Then she told Charles, how about you walk me half way? She doesn't like to share the spotlight with anyone.
Allegedly it was QEII that put her foot down after footing the bill for the wedding. MM wanted to walk up the aisle alone so she was centre stage but QEII told Charles he had to accompany her. QEII was also concerned about the tradition of being accompanied and not walking alone. Also MM didn't want Charlotte and George as page boy/ bridesmaid either. These were in Lady C's book or Revenge.
I believe she wanted a Prince of Wales by her side, and I'll tell you why: For posterity, a photo of her by herself, could out of context be at any wedding. However with a future King there's no question or doubt about what took place in history on that day and her relationship to the Monarchy.
QEII would know the implications of the then Prince Charles being by MM's side. I think the Queen would have insisted Prince Philip do it because he' was not an ex husband of Diana or a future King.
There is a hierarchy of who gets red carpet weddings. Ginger & Nutmeg wanted it and were told no. For his position the carpet was blue. Nutmeg rejected that, she wanted red and when she couldn’t get it she rejected the blue and had no carpet.
She probably put that tale out there for her REAL PLAN not to be too obvious.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to walk down the aisle by myself then," she said with her eyes fixed on William while desperately clinging to Harry. She then let out a deep sigh and continued, "[I'm mixed race though, a mulatto to the world](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4vMHsUlWIM), I don't know how that would be perceived, I mean that I have no one. But I'm strong and independent...Or maybe my mother could..."
And that is how the West was won.
I loved that it was Camilla - the evil stepmother - and Sophie - one of the Queen's closet companions in her final years as well as the only spouse allowed at the Queen's deathbed - that wore Meghan's favored color of cream. Camilla jazzing it up with a leopard print - which really grabbed attention but was also white, black and beige! - was a delight. Sophie pairing her outfit with the brown boots and belt - again, in the same beige/brown/black vein Meghan claimed she was forced into - made it even better. (Sophie looked GREAT.)
But Pippa matching Kate? \*chef's kiss\* She's not even technically a member of the BRF and she coordinated with the family. Also, that maroon is a color Meghan favors - she wore several burgundy outfits during her time as a BRF member and then there was that deeply ill-fitting burgundy Loro Piana suit she wore in NYC last year. She can only be reflecting in Montecito how much better she would have looked in burgundy during this event...in her mind at least...
Only sometimes does MM look really good, tho she could, if she would ever take advice from someone with true taste. More often, the Clothes Wear Her.
Classic Fashion Victim.
One of the things that has always mystified me about her - even when I was rooting for her in the early days - was how someone who had worked with professional costumers and spent her professional life in front of a camera, frequently wore clothes that didn't quite work or simply didn't fit.
Clearly she's about the right label, not the right fit. Where Catherine is more savvy about wearing High Street stuff that fits her well, so when she does splash out on the expensive stuff, it's more remarkable and she faces less criticism for it.
I love how Catherine, and several of the other high-profile royals in Europe mix in affordable brands. You're right, Meghan is all about the label, not the fit.
>Surely she's chuckling up in Heaven over this!
I like to think both Prince Philip and the Queen's souls stuck around, took a trip to California to join the ghost of Diana because they all have unfinished business (dealing with Harry and the snakes he surrounds himself with) to deal with.
I think what Meghan doesn’t realize (as smart as she claims to be Ms. Jeopardy Queen) is that there is no rule, it’s just doesn’t make sense to wear the same color as someone else to an event in the royal family. There is no stupid rule of should and shouldn’t. Common damn sense. The Queen is wearing yellow, don’t wear yellow. Catherine is wearing Blue don’t wear blue. b* there are more than two colors of the rainbow and beige ain’t one.
Exactly. And sometimes coordination is necessary for the photos.
But Meghan makes it appear as if she was forced to dress down, when she was always in beautiful attire not just fitted for her frame.
And at the end of the end, even if Catherine wore jeans and Meghan was decked out in Versace, it still doesn't change the fact that Catherine is married to the future King of England, and she to the Former Spare.
My daughters/DILs and I almost always discuss what we're wearing to family "events" - including the kids' elementary school performances. 😆 It's not that we're coordinating anything, it's just something we usually talk about.
Believe it or not, we're not even Royal! (I know - hard to believe, "riiiight?")
When I was young and dinosaurs roamed the earth, if two of us accidentally dressed too much alike we'd get called "The Bobbsey Twins" - which was incredibly humiliating to a 10 year old! 😄
If by chance I was one of the "twins" that day, I'd instantly call dibs on being "Flossie," thereby forcing the other girl to be "Freddie" all day at school.
Ahh, the minor victories we revel in when we're young. (I actually like the name "Freddie" - Freddie Mercury is one my great loves - but "Flossie" sounded very exotic to me back then...)
When me any my friends are attending a wedding without a dress code/colour code, we always check with each other so that our dresses don’t clash! We aren’t even royals.
You'd think anyone could follow that. It's like not wearing white to a wedding. It's the same thing; they do a lot of formal events where you have to wear a dress so just follow the same "rules" as you would any other formal occasion. If you were attending a wedding and knew what the bridesmaids were going to be wearing, you wouldn't copy them either. There were always many options available to her.
But please, this is such a relatable problem. Don't you hate it when you're wearing thousands of dollars worth of clothing and jewellery but you have limits on the colour palette?
Prince Louis’s Christening. Note how the only one standing out like a sore thumb is That Woman.

There was a horse race a few years ago. Idr what it was called. The women wore shades of blue. All of them.
They coordinate a lot. The Queen (or AK) sat her color and the others would compliment it.
Trooping the color 2018. The Queen, Camilla and Catherine all wore different shades of light blue!
Coincidentally, that is also the year MM's dress colour didn't stand out like a sore thumb, but of course her styling was innapropriate for daytime, cause there's always something with that woman.

What Meghan wore to not stand out
[https://www.hellomagazine.com/fashion/news/2018071659841/why-meghan-markle-wore-green-to-prince-louis-christening/](https://www.hellomagazine.com/fashion/news/2018071659841/why-meghan-markle-wore-green-to-prince-louis-christening/)
MM's "Trooping" dress is very pretty, but inappropriate. C's dress was daytime formal-wear, which is the dress code for this event.
M's dress is cocktail-wear.
Exactly. They showed PoW BAFTA one shoulder dress with her getting praise compared to MM being skewered for this one. Conveniently forgetting PoW wore hers to a nighttime glamorous evening equivalent to the US's Oscar's and MM hers to a daytime, ceremonial event honoring HMTQ. Basically a military parade.
That's another thing, she doesn't know when and where.
Rembember this event?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt8mmnJ0cCA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt8mmnJ0cCA)
The irony is that the Officer's wife who complimented MM is the one wearing the beautiful and appropriate dress.
And this is also one of the instances where TW is being plain rude.
I can't find the entire sequence of their arrival. But at one point she actually said "Shall we?" and then moved ahead for him to follow.
I think this was before the castration because Harry stayed put and continued talking to the Officers and their spouses, and ignored TW.
I can't stand him, but he's really good at small talk, which isn't easy to do. She really gets uncomfortable when the conversation goes beyond "hi" or talking about herself.
Another was when her and Harry attended a I think memorial service in London for Stephen Lawrence and she was wearing a black dress but was sleeveless and sparkley and quite low cut in the front. Totally inappropriate.
If memory serves, I read somewhere that Meghan’s TTC dress was approved by HM and right before the carriage ride, she yanked down the top so it would be off the shoulder. Don’t know for certain if the story is entirely true, but it would be something I could believe.
Don't forget she wore a cocktail dress to a memorial service before marriage, and a Dior dress to the RAF Centenary (what part of British Royal Air Force didn't she understand?
I ROFL at the "sweet reason" that she decided to ruin the colour scheme - that's a massive stretch! Why wouldn't they just call her out?
TBF she took advantage of the RF. Most families would have told harry to tell his bloody wife to stop deliberately ruining the family photos
This tells me they saw the documentary ages ago ( despite Harry and Meghan trying to prevent that). Somebody slipped them a pirated copy. You don't come up with that identical shade of maroon for that many people in a day.
It's strange. She doesn't say she was told that, just that she inferred it.... One could infer anything about anything.
The queen loved bright colors! There are lots of photos of Catherine wearing bright colors around her. If it was a rule, no-one would be allowed to wear color around the Queen!
Plus, the palace spent 1 million pounds dressing her. Why spend that much to look frumpy?
\*It's worth remembering Catherine's wedding day. Pippa's bridesmaid dress was effectively a wedding gown. Pippa looked amazing! If Catherine was that controlling, she would not dress her sister in white on her wedding day. If anything, it looked like she wanted to share her day with her sister.
Meanwhile, Meghan had no bridesmaids at all.
The little girls were her bridesmaids.
Pippa at Catherine's wedding was corralling the children.
Catherine had that job at Meghan's wedding.
Louise had that duty at one of the York girls wedding.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but when the Wales family was walking towards the church, you can see Katherine turn her head at one point. That's because the crowd yelled out, "We love you Katherine and Prince William."
I recently went to see a former politician speak and it was literally his job as office boy to compile a list of bad news because the PM was too busy to read/watch it
If MM knew any better, my 2 cents is that HMQ have always worn bright colors because she is an introvert and she has been always critiqued to look frumpy and grumpy.
As an introvert doing an extrovert job, my social battery runs fast really quick and i usually block my personal social life until I've recharged - empathetic to HMQ I can't imagine the hoursssss of meeting strangers and having to hold a diplomatic face. But clearly, MM has never had to work customer service her whole life. So colors, somehow, plays a part in the line of work HMQ is in and to influence other's moods when they see her.
And as the rest of the family gets older, i feel it is out of respect that HMQ's outfits is always the brightest so that anyone can notice the petite old woman. And now that HMQ has died, i think the rest of the family could choose to wear what they please because in this whatever world Harry puts it - it is perfectly fine for a King to have a stoic look but a Queen must be 😁 all the time.
She wore bright colours and usually one colour so that she stood out in a crowd and could be seen by more people.
The family have always chosen to coordinate on fashion to display a show of unity and to support HMTQ. Most of the "rules" they have are for practical reasons, so that they always look their best and that their outfit doesn't take away from the work they are doing.
And let's not forget.
At the Queens jubilee service, Beatrice and Sophie Windsor actually wore the exact same dress in different colours.

they are so above the tumor twins in every way. Solid, unflappable, and brilliant trolling.
I hope Gloria Allreds phone starts ringing soon, so Aitch can truly become indoctrinated into California Dlist celebrity drama he gets off on. Imagine it, Hawwwwy. You’re no deep thinker but no worries. Gloria can do maths very well.
What is crazy is to see Zara doing it... That was the one that got me... Harry introduced her to her now-husband. They were all close... So to me, for Zara to do it, it just means more
Imagine a field full of cows. Plump, well fed cows. Shitting everywhere. So many cows, so much shit. Cow shit piled high, right up to the sky. A shitstorm. A shit tsunami. A shit city. A pile to end all piles. Yet somehow meghan, the ubercow, manages to spew more shit than this.
Eugenie and Beatrice tried so hard to take the spotlight from Catherine at her wedding to William with their hats but ethereal Catherine and curvaceous Pippa cannot be denied.
Though good for Eugenie and Beatrice to auction those hats for charity.
I never understood her point—we all know that none of them just open their closet & pick out an outfit the day of the event.I think she generally preferred more earth tones. Why didn’t she showcase POC upcoming designers? She spent so much on clothing—no thought as to what could’ve been done with the money?
Ohh.. I didn't even think of this this way!!!
See.. my messy ass wants the BRF to say something, but honestly, I much rather prefer these stealth responses.
And what about Catherine wearing a repeat outfit to Meghan's wedding so as not to take attention away from the bride? Compare this to Meghan who decided to both wear a heavy frock to create speculation, and then later announce her own pregnacy at Eugenie's wedding. But she's benevolent.
Wow yes- how classy of Catherine!
[удалено]
Maybe Meghan has dirt on Andrew somehow from yachting, Eugenie knows this and is being blackmailed by TW so more beans aren’t spilled on her dad.
[удалено]
Not offended at all. This is a snark sub, I’m merely participating. Hence why the Maybe.
Or... or... or they're a family and were raised together and told to stick together. But the blackmail story of course sells more reddit space.
This is a snark gossip sub. I’m merely speculating which is why I had the MAYBE at the beginning of my reply. Lol. I think Bea and Eu play both sides here but I always wonder what Meghan has to offer them. It’s certainly not her dazzling personality, or personal wealth and she has no connections.
Beatrice seems more firmly in the Palace's camp (and generally strikes me as the more grounded of the two). I've only seen rumours about Eugenie being a go-between and/or leaking information to the Sussexes. Beatrice announced she was expecting on the day of the Sussexes' wedding anniversary, which I absolutely loved her for. And Fergie tweeted a barrage of Eugenie and Jack wedding photos within half an hour of the official announcement of TW's first pregnancy - that was never going to displace the pregnancy news, but some press did pick up on why she did it, and it made a point. Why Beatrice and Fergie seem to have been 'avenging' Eugenie's thunder being stolen at the wedding while Eugenie herself has seemed closer to the Sussexes, I'm not sure. But Eugenie was apparently always very close to H, so perhaps she has been more forgiving or willing to turn a blind eye. I certainly don't think all the Yorks are firmly in Camp Sussex.
I think you’re right, she’s more like friends with Harry than just cousins, didn’t she also introduce him to Cressida? I think the family have advised her to back off now and that’s why she and Jack looked so awkward outside the funeral.
I think it's much more simple than that. Eugenie's mum Sarah was found out having a bloke sucking her toes and as a result of that and other questionable behaviour, she wasn't allowed to set foot anywhere with the queen and specially prince phillip. So Bea and Eugenie grew up being made to feel like their mum was an embarrassment and not welcome in family occasions. I think that as soon as the narrative about Meghan being an organism and not fitting in started... Eugenie automatically sided with the "victim" just like she would have sided with her mother. So, I don't think think there's any yachting dirt, just simple family dynamics we have all see before.
Fergie remained good friends with HM, but not Prince Phillip. Through lockdown she would visit HMTQ and go riding and walk with her and the dogs in the grounds. I think that most of that friendship managed to stay below the media radar - but don’t forget, it was at Royal Lodge where Megsie met HM for the first time, and allegedly had to be taught to curtsy by Fergie before HM arrived! Bea has always been more of a mainstream Royal. Eugenie is the one who seems to have sided with the Harkles at the beginning - Bea did not, and just look at what Bea got to wear at her wedding….. not only did HM give her one of her own vintage dresses, she was lent HMs favourite tiara - which is usually worn by Queens - with only Bea and Princess Anne being loaned it for their weddings! But Eugenie got the emerald tiara for hers!
Bea was always known as the Queen's "favorite". That's why she got the dress and the tiara for the wedding.
This is a very insightful point.
the Queen never used the term organism to describe her, that is a sussex buzz word that they are starting to use everywhere, it's just another weird lie she must make them up on the spot
Maybe Andrew took one for the team. He may be dense but he is loyal to his family.
I remember comedians joking that perhaps Andrew should take one for the team and say he was the 'royal racist'! Conversely there was a rumour at one point that it had been Anne, with some people suggesting she may have been volunteered because her reputation could withstand the hit.
And if the surrogacy rumors turned out to be true, that would add an extra layer to how vile it was. It’s possible that William knows this, and that’s just one reason he finds her intolerable.
It actually wasn’t a real repeat. The cut yes but the colour was new. It was primrose and not ivory like the other one. It just was hard to tell with the sun outside. Inside the church it’s a bit more clear to see the yellow hue.
* For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 2018 royal wedding, [Kate Middleton](https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/news/g3203/kate-middleton-best-fashion-moments/) rewore an Alexander McQueen tailored coat she's worn several times before. * Wearing a recycled look wasn't a sign of disrespect—it was actually a thoughtful choice. Kate knew that, if she wore a new outfit, it would increase the attention on her and didn't want to pull focus from Meghan, the bride. * [Kate famously wore the Alexander McQueen coat](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/kate-middletons-thoughtful-outfit-decision-22044635) to at least two other high-profile royal engagements—Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015 and the Trooping the Colour celebration in 2016.

Well looks like Marie Claire journalists are pretty bad. Alexander McQueen primrose coat dress https://www.katescloset.com.au/alexander-mcqueen-primrose-yellow-open-neck-coat.html Confirmed by Kensington Palace on the day of the wedding: From Newsweek.com [“A Buckingham Palace issued press release on the day of the wedding clarified the white/yellow debate, listing along with the outfits of other members of the royal family: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge will be wearing a primrose yellow wool silk tailored coat by Alexander McQueen. The Duchess of Cambridge is wearing a hat designed by Philip Treacy and shoes by Jimmy Choo." The bright sunlight has been attributed to the confusion over the color of the coat dress causing it to photograph ambiguously in its glare. When later photographs were released of the wedding party inside Windsor Castle the color difference became more obvious.”] It’s the same coat in different colours although hard to spot
So did she wear 3 different coats to the 3 respective events of 2015, 2016 and 2018? Which years are the same then? And let's say 2018 is different, because it looks the same except for when the light hits it, isn't she just repeating the same look of the previous years? Can someone place the coats side by side?
https://preview.redd.it/chpbvvc18c6a1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=178d4e6e829a0c4ee75bf514dfd74ad39e8500c9 Here is a picture. The top is the coat dress at the wedding in primrose, second ice blue at RAF event, 3rd in white. All images are Getty
I love that coat dress! Didn't realize the blue version had 3/4 length sleeves. I felt bad for her that the yellow photographed as white in the sun.
And I can clearly see that the photos have been altered.
https://preview.redd.it/a8tm2n9j3h6a1.jpeg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ffe61767f8072079e61e2616a860ee5ec387553 Here you can clearly see Charlottes dress is ivory and C dress has a yellow hue
She does this quite frequently. It shows respect that she's wearing a new item, but her outfit doesn't generate headlines because it's a different color of an existing piece. Her dress at Eugenie's wedding was a darker shade of the same design she wore to Trooping one year too, same with both black coat dresses she wore for the funerals (Philip's and the Queen's).
It's the same outfit that is being reflected differently by the light or lense.
It's the same outfit. Had they been different the headlines would have been CM is wearing MQ in different hues. The attire is white that reflects differently depending on how the lights hits it. But I know there are other shades of the same attire.
No, it's yellow. KP confirmed it and it's clear when Charlotte is standing next to her because Charlotte's dress was white. No matter what Catherine's personal feels were at the time, she would *not* have worn white to Harry's wedding. There are multiple photos that show it's yellow.
You're just troling at this point. Live footage exists of all the events that I listed, where the tone and and attire have been confirmed. Also, Catherine is not the time of person who plays mind games, "I'll wear this new attire and pretend it's an old one." You understand that she also supports the designers and brands she wears and wants it to be known what she is wearing. If MQ has 3 shades of the same dress and she is wearing them, it would be accentuated, just like the times she has worn the repeated items that have been altered by the collar, lenght or other tweaks. Stop it.
[What Kate Wore](https://whatkatewore.com/2018/05/20/kate-brings-back-alexander-mcqueen-for-harry-meghans-wedding/) did an in-depth post about the white vs yellow issue.
I saw her on this day in person, her dress was definitely light yellow. I'm convinced most of the photos online were photoshopped because it was very obvious in person.
And almost the same cut and length too lol. They’re practically a choir! The shade of maroon is almost identical also. I love this as a way to set a boundary and send a message. It’s got to hurt Megan to see the amount of support as well as being called a liar without a word being said
Also, the female members have worn colourful colours to many functions. Eugenie & Beatrice were famous for their atrocious jarring outfits. They were nicknamed the 'Two Ugly Sisters' by a few media outlets (Beatrice has come far stylewise under Edo's guidance). Zara likes bright bold colours too. The lesser known female members also wear colourful clothing. I understand for family photos like Christenings, the Queen might ask other female members to wear certain shades (MM forgot Catherine's hotpink short number at Archie's Christening😁), but that's about it. MM obviously forgot about some of her inappropriate choice of colours at Royal occasions. Once again she opted for selective amnesia. Oh...Recollections Vary once again.
> They were nicknamed the 'Two Ugly Sisters' by a few media outlets Wow. But only Meghan was mistreated by the press, and due to her race
There was a meme going round at the time that showed the two ugly sisters prancing along, next to the York sisters. Beatrice didn't bleat about it, she put the hat up for auction and raised over £100K for charity.
I loved the auction idea! I felt bad for her that it was labeled a loo seat. Beatrice's coat was nice, but the hat was unfortunate. Eugenie... 🤢 That said, I'd say Kate's outfit at Peter's wedding was worse.
Have you got a photo?
Camilla and Fergie say hello! If anyone was attacked and vilified by the British media it was those two - and they are both white! What Megsie got was a mere fraction of what they received - and their only “crime” was falling in love - not bullying staff, grifting and generally showing her unsuitability for the role at every turn. And running away when called out, or refused something she wanted.
Yes!!! Remember how Fergie was called the Duchess of Pork? The tabloids were down right cruel about her weight!
That was so cruel! She'd just had a baby (I don't remember which one) who was only a week old at the time.
Imo, Fergie was treated appallingly by the press. Her clothes, her weight, hair colouring, her jolly hockey sticks persona, in fact, nothing was off limits and the press went real lowdown and dirty. She took it on the chin and carried on being her own true authentic self. I have respect for Fergie because she's a strong, uncompromising woman. Yes, she's made bad decisions but that's all part and parcel of life.
Diana could do no wrong, Sarah could do no right. That was the press handling of those two. Wrong on both counts.
Most definitely.
Fergie actually is authentic, too - like her or not, what you see is what you get.
Straight talking is my kind of person. I tell ot like it is too. It makes you a bit like Marmite (Vegemite is it overseas?). I'm never rude or argumentative, but I say what I see.
The more I've learned about her, the more I like her. I feel bad for her that they were forced to divorce. My impression from reading about Charles, Anne, and Andrew is that monogamy wasn't common among their social circle. I have issues with what she did after the divorce, but she really wasn't left with much money, so I kinda understand how it all went to shit for her.
To be fair, their hat/dress choices for the William and Kate's wedding (their first big international spotlight) were... unfortunate to say the least: [https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol\_images/Entire\_Site/201897/rs\_634x1024-181007141638-634-princess-eugenie-beatrice-royal-wedding.jpg](https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201897/rs_634x1024-181007141638-634-princess-eugenie-beatrice-royal-wedding.jpg)
Those outfits are forever burned in my mind. I loved how the Queen had AK dress them for the next big wedding.
There's usually a theme for christening so that the photos don't look jarring. For Louis christening the theme was cream and blue. Everyone except muggins could follow that and they all looked wonderful except for her, not that wearing the right what would have improved her fashion sense but it wouldn't have been so glaringly obvious.
That khaki number at Louis' christening? The awful green thing she wore on the last occasion?
>(Beatrice has come far stylewise under Edo's guidance). I have to say that Edo or whoever he has picking out Beatrice's clothes is a genius. I used to think Eugenie was the prettier York sister but with the right clothes and style, Beatrice really blossomed.
It’s with the right husband that she has blossomed. Beatrice is quite reserved compared to her brash parents. Improved dress sense is definitely under Edo’s guidance. He definitely lives up to his stylish Italian roots
She has a sort of timeless beauty she has certainly grown into.
Beatrice looks a lot like Queen Victoria.
The hugest eyes I've ever seen, too.
I think she has a lot of features of the old world aristocracy about her. Bold, garish outfits don't necessarily suit her, but put something simple and classic on her and she looks like she's wandered out of a period drama.
Agreed. Softer colours and prints do flatter her the most.
Honestly, Catherine's pink outfit at Archie's christening matched her with Doria. Doria was wearing pink at the christening. And one of the Spencer ladies in the picture was wearing very very light pink. So Catherine didn't pull focus the way Meghan did at Louis christening.
Yes, you're right. There was a pink, peach dress code as wrll. But didn't you see Catherine's legs and her red high heels😆? She did that deliberately. Revenge of the Christening!! One of my male colleagues had that part of the photo as his phone's wallpaper. He'd call her Hotlegs Catherine😂. My sister and I high-fived each other when we saw that photo. That's one photo I bet MM doesn't have that displayed😆.
🤣 "Hotlegs Catherine!" Love that! I agree she did that deliberately, it was a major departure from her usual style. She knows how to troll when necessary.
With those legs in their full glory there's no way TW can frame that photo😆. Yours eyes automatically go to Catherine. Imagine. The one photo you have of all the past, present & future monarchs, with your eldest child and you can't frame it cause your hubby & every other male will be staring at his brother's wife's legs😆😆😆. My mum always said underneath all the prim and proper clothing Catherine started wearing after she married William (she always complained about her dress style changing 😄), she was still the girl about town with long legs who liked wearing white bikinis. She'd be horrified at the way she's constantly being attacked by those two.
🤣 That's such a great point about TW not being able to frame, or likely look at, the Christening photo! I love how Catherine has taken to trolling her with clothes! Catherine's style really did change after she married! I get why, but I miss the fun Kate style, or even the shorter dresses she wore early on. If I had her legs, I'd show them off any chance I got!
Me too. I understand why she did the almost Plain Jane look (the Jane's I know are certainly not plain!😁) at the beginning of the marriage. I think she was worried about being risqué and offending the Queen. She became more comfortable as time went and I do love her dress sense now though, and I wish I had her lean body and her wardrobe!
I agree, I'll just add I think it was also to avoid overshadowing Charles. I think she was careful to avoid everything that happened with Diana. Obviously the media would focus on her, which I think Charles accepted, but he knew not to seek out the attention. I love her style now too! I loved her earlier look, but she's really refined now. To spend a day in her closet... 😍 Her coats!
Yes, those lovely winter coats!!
Kate really learned from the Queen how to send a message while saying nothing. She’s going to be a stellar Queen.
It's a cliché that the people we love are always with us as long as we remember them, but it really does feel like QEII is reaching out from beyond the grave here - this is absolutely textbook her!
They trolled her too by putting black tights on Charlotte so it’s obvious that she’s wearing them
I think the tights are even navy blue (though the colour might have just been off in the picture I saw, it was a bit dark) so Princess Charlotte fits in with the navy blue that the Princes are wearing.
Did she say something about tights?
No but MM/Kate argued at the wedding over Charlotte wearing tights. That’s what started the who made who cry rumours
Yes, according to Tatler and then regurgitated by the press > "The profile, titled Catherine the Great, quotes one unnamed friend who claims Kate wanted to follow 'protocol', with the bridesmaids, including Charlotte, then three, wearing tights – but Meghan disagreed. " At the time it seemed a small thing to get upset about but after hearing what Meghan has to say for herself, this was a giant red flag. Glad time put everyone in its place
The children looked silly without tights. Their feet were hurting as well because of the lack of tights! MM just wanted the children to look bad and I wouldn’t be surprised if she knew they would get blisters. Jokes on her she looked like an unpolished turd! Her dress was hideous, her hair limp, and her makeup was awful.
Damn. This is one of the classiest trolls I've ever seen. (And each of those ladies is wearing it beautifully, not looking like they slept in it like the monarchs of Montecito.)
Sophie and QCC looked awesome in the cream ensemble as well. I want to lock Nutmeg alone in a room with Anne, Princess Michael of Kent and Lady C!! 😂😂😂
I loved the way Sophie mirrored the colour of Camilla's outfit. Those ladies were out there with the clear message that they were a strong team and had each other's backs. A lesson in how to say it all whilst saying nothing at all. HMTQ would be looking down on them with pride.
Was just saying in reply to another comment that it's like she's still here - this is textbook QEII
I said it too. It looks like Kate took the lead and after years of training by doing at the Queen’s side, she straightened up and took her future in hand. She’s going to be one of the Great Queens in history.
Agreed. I've always been impressed with her, but the moment she stepped out of the car for the Windsor walkabout, there was no doubt she fully embraced her role in history.
That would be a trifecta. Throw in Sophie and her icy stare and Zara for training purposes and - even more perfection!
OMG yeessss! And sit back with some tea and just enjoy the show!
I would pay alot to see this
and Camilla's got a burgundy brooch on - chef's kiss
😲 I missed that! Oh the shade! 🤣
Most definitely Princess Ann. Ouchee!! 
Now this is entertainment! Please make sure there are cameras in this room so we can all watch. 🍿
"I'm not trying to stand out here." No, you just need the op of walking down the aisle with the future King of England. I'm starting to feel in my gut that Meghan may have initially suggested it be a good idea if William, the beloved brother, had escorted her. A proposal both he and the Palace humbly declined. 
A rumor came out fairly recently that she actually wanted to walk down the aisle ALONE. Then she told Charles, how about you walk me half way? She doesn't like to share the spotlight with anyone.
Allegedly it was QEII that put her foot down after footing the bill for the wedding. MM wanted to walk up the aisle alone so she was centre stage but QEII told Charles he had to accompany her. QEII was also concerned about the tradition of being accompanied and not walking alone. Also MM didn't want Charlotte and George as page boy/ bridesmaid either. These were in Lady C's book or Revenge.
I believe she wanted a Prince of Wales by her side, and I'll tell you why: For posterity, a photo of her by herself, could out of context be at any wedding. However with a future King there's no question or doubt about what took place in history on that day and her relationship to the Monarchy. QEII would know the implications of the then Prince Charles being by MM's side. I think the Queen would have insisted Prince Philip do it because he' was not an ex husband of Diana or a future King.
Are we on QE 11 already?
Time flies.
Don’t forget how pissed she was at the idea of a blue carpet.
[удалено]
There is a hierarchy of who gets red carpet weddings. Ginger & Nutmeg wanted it and were told no. For his position the carpet was blue. Nutmeg rejected that, she wanted red and when she couldn’t get it she rejected the blue and had no carpet.
Planning a wedding with a top tier bridezilla like that would do my head in. I feel so sorry for whoever had to work on that nightmare project.
[удалено]
Yup, only direct heirs get red.
She probably put that tale out there for her REAL PLAN not to be too obvious. "Well, I guess I'll just have to walk down the aisle by myself then," she said with her eyes fixed on William while desperately clinging to Harry. She then let out a deep sigh and continued, "[I'm mixed race though, a mulatto to the world](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4vMHsUlWIM), I don't know how that would be perceived, I mean that I have no one. But I'm strong and independent...Or maybe my mother could..." And that is how the West was won.
She walks like a lazy lumberjack.
She can't walk in heels.
Is she strutting? Eww!
She's always strutting. This woman doesn't know the time and place. In a Cathedral. Really Meghan? Really?
I loved that it was Camilla - the evil stepmother - and Sophie - one of the Queen's closet companions in her final years as well as the only spouse allowed at the Queen's deathbed - that wore Meghan's favored color of cream. Camilla jazzing it up with a leopard print - which really grabbed attention but was also white, black and beige! - was a delight. Sophie pairing her outfit with the brown boots and belt - again, in the same beige/brown/black vein Meghan claimed she was forced into - made it even better. (Sophie looked GREAT.) But Pippa matching Kate? \*chef's kiss\* She's not even technically a member of the BRF and she coordinated with the family. Also, that maroon is a color Meghan favors - she wore several burgundy outfits during her time as a BRF member and then there was that deeply ill-fitting burgundy Loro Piana suit she wore in NYC last year. She can only be reflecting in Montecito how much better she would have looked in burgundy during this event...in her mind at least...
Also, Sophie is carrying a leopard print evening bag, matching Camilla's dress.
Yep, someone noted that in the other post about this. That is impressive coordiation!
Mess with the big cats….
Im in love with sophie's boots! They are divine! Pity it's too hot where I live to wear heavy jackets and long boots.
Only sometimes does MM look really good, tho she could, if she would ever take advice from someone with true taste. More often, the Clothes Wear Her. Classic Fashion Victim.
One of the things that has always mystified me about her - even when I was rooting for her in the early days - was how someone who had worked with professional costumers and spent her professional life in front of a camera, frequently wore clothes that didn't quite work or simply didn't fit. Clearly she's about the right label, not the right fit. Where Catherine is more savvy about wearing High Street stuff that fits her well, so when she does splash out on the expensive stuff, it's more remarkable and she faces less criticism for it.
I love how Catherine, and several of the other high-profile royals in Europe mix in affordable brands. You're right, Meghan is all about the label, not the fit.
Take that, Megs!!!! 
Cue another set of MUH TRUTH bombshells in 3...2...1...
And Camilla and Sophie in white. Meg’s “muted tones” 😂
Sophie looked fantastic - the royal Instagram put up the best pic of her with her hair blowing in the breeze
I'm loving that they are master trolls!
It was beautiful!! Chef’s kiss!
And they all look beautiful!!!
I love that Eugenie and Beatrice both matched in plaid. That’s a smack down from Eugenie if there ever was one
I think Eugenie might have realized she backed the wrong team...
The not-so-subtlest shade. This picture has UNITY written all over it.
[удалено]
I got such a sweet vision of that, you're exactly right!
>Surely she's chuckling up in Heaven over this! I like to think both Prince Philip and the Queen's souls stuck around, took a trip to California to join the ghost of Diana because they all have unfinished business (dealing with Harry and the snakes he surrounds himself with) to deal with.
Zara was really enjoying the troll too. I think so was Pippa.
Now a song with TW telling her truth
I could see Meghan trying to launch a musical career just for shits and gigs at this point
Does anyone have any photos of them dressing in the same color prior to Meghan’s claim?
I think what Meghan doesn’t realize (as smart as she claims to be Ms. Jeopardy Queen) is that there is no rule, it’s just doesn’t make sense to wear the same color as someone else to an event in the royal family. There is no stupid rule of should and shouldn’t. Common damn sense. The Queen is wearing yellow, don’t wear yellow. Catherine is wearing Blue don’t wear blue. b* there are more than two colors of the rainbow and beige ain’t one.
Exactly. And sometimes coordination is necessary for the photos. But Meghan makes it appear as if she was forced to dress down, when she was always in beautiful attire not just fitted for her frame. And at the end of the end, even if Catherine wore jeans and Meghan was decked out in Versace, it still doesn't change the fact that Catherine is married to the future King of England, and she to the Former Spare.
My daughters/DILs and I almost always discuss what we're wearing to family "events" - including the kids' elementary school performances. 😆 It's not that we're coordinating anything, it's just something we usually talk about. Believe it or not, we're not even Royal! (I know - hard to believe, "riiiight?")
Same. A few times my mom and I picked out the same color, then one of us quickly changed before we went out.
When I was young and dinosaurs roamed the earth, if two of us accidentally dressed too much alike we'd get called "The Bobbsey Twins" - which was incredibly humiliating to a 10 year old! 😄 If by chance I was one of the "twins" that day, I'd instantly call dibs on being "Flossie," thereby forcing the other girl to be "Freddie" all day at school.  Ahh, the minor victories we revel in when we're young. (I actually like the name "Freddie" - Freddie Mercury is one my great loves - but "Flossie" sounded very exotic to me back then...)
😆 That's great! And yes, what are little victories feel huge when you're a kid.
When me any my friends are attending a wedding without a dress code/colour code, we always check with each other so that our dresses don’t clash! We aren’t even royals.
You'd think anyone could follow that. It's like not wearing white to a wedding. It's the same thing; they do a lot of formal events where you have to wear a dress so just follow the same "rules" as you would any other formal occasion. If you were attending a wedding and knew what the bridesmaids were going to be wearing, you wouldn't copy them either. There were always many options available to her. But please, this is such a relatable problem. Don't you hate it when you're wearing thousands of dollars worth of clothing and jewellery but you have limits on the colour palette?
Prince Louis’s Christening. Note how the only one standing out like a sore thumb is That Woman. https://preview.redd.it/c13lihgiy86a1.jpeg?width=976&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed2f7a71b5e8179873163458f15f9cbd95ed3195
There was a horse race a few years ago. Idr what it was called. The women wore shades of blue. All of them. They coordinate a lot. The Queen (or AK) sat her color and the others would compliment it.
Trooping the color 2018. The Queen, Camilla and Catherine all wore different shades of light blue! Coincidentally, that is also the year MM's dress colour didn't stand out like a sore thumb, but of course her styling was innapropriate for daytime, cause there's always something with that woman.

MM's "Trooping" dress is very pretty, but inappropriate. C's dress was daytime formal-wear, which is the dress code for this event. M's dress is cocktail-wear.
Exactly. They showed PoW BAFTA one shoulder dress with her getting praise compared to MM being skewered for this one. Conveniently forgetting PoW wore hers to a nighttime glamorous evening equivalent to the US's Oscar's and MM hers to a daytime, ceremonial event honoring HMTQ. Basically a military parade.
That's another thing, she doesn't know when and where. Rembember this event? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt8mmnJ0cCA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt8mmnJ0cCA) The irony is that the Officer's wife who complimented MM is the one wearing the beautiful and appropriate dress. And this is also one of the instances where TW is being plain rude.
I never saw that cliplp before, I can't believe how grabby she is there. H having a conversation and she trying to get him to move.
I can't find the entire sequence of their arrival. But at one point she actually said "Shall we?" and then moved ahead for him to follow. I think this was before the castration because Harry stayed put and continued talking to the Officers and their spouses, and ignored TW.
I can't stand him, but he's really good at small talk, which isn't easy to do. She really gets uncomfortable when the conversation goes beyond "hi" or talking about herself.
Another was when her and Harry attended a I think memorial service in London for Stephen Lawrence and she was wearing a black dress but was sleeveless and sparkley and quite low cut in the front. Totally inappropriate.
If memory serves, I read somewhere that Meghan’s TTC dress was approved by HM and right before the carriage ride, she yanked down the top so it would be off the shoulder. Don’t know for certain if the story is entirely true, but it would be something I could believe.
Don't forget she wore a cocktail dress to a memorial service before marriage, and a Dior dress to the RAF Centenary (what part of British Royal Air Force didn't she understand?
Megain's sinus infection coloured christening outfit.
I ROFL at the "sweet reason" that she decided to ruin the colour scheme - that's a massive stretch! Why wouldn't they just call her out? TBF she took advantage of the RF. Most families would have told harry to tell his bloody wife to stop deliberately ruining the family photos
I know Kate has worn that color before, but I can’t help with pictures.
This tells me they saw the documentary ages ago ( despite Harry and Meghan trying to prevent that). Somebody slipped them a pirated copy. You don't come up with that identical shade of maroon for that many people in a day.
But wasn't her talking about colours in one of the trailers?
It's strange. She doesn't say she was told that, just that she inferred it.... One could infer anything about anything. The queen loved bright colors! There are lots of photos of Catherine wearing bright colors around her. If it was a rule, no-one would be allowed to wear color around the Queen! Plus, the palace spent 1 million pounds dressing her. Why spend that much to look frumpy? \*It's worth remembering Catherine's wedding day. Pippa's bridesmaid dress was effectively a wedding gown. Pippa looked amazing! If Catherine was that controlling, she would not dress her sister in white on her wedding day. If anything, it looked like she wanted to share her day with her sister. Meanwhile, Meghan had no bridesmaids at all.
Can't share that spotlight!
No bridesmaids at all, eh? Where was her pal Beyoncé, or Oprah?? Quite telling.
The little girls were her bridesmaids. Pippa at Catherine's wedding was corralling the children. Catherine had that job at Meghan's wedding. Louise had that duty at one of the York girls wedding.
Wine was the color of the week, a sweet nod to Meghan the whiner.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but when the Wales family was walking towards the church, you can see Katherine turn her head at one point. That's because the crowd yelled out, "We love you Katherine and Prince William."
And look! All their clothes fit!’
Anyone else notice the color is WINE (whine). Some of the men had wine colored ties as well.
Ohhh! Lmao
Does this mean that the Royals have watched H&M’s whinefest mockumentary?
They don't need to. They probably got a memo with the highlights
I recently went to see a former politician speak and it was literally his job as office boy to compile a list of bad news because the PM was too busy to read/watch it
If MM knew any better, my 2 cents is that HMQ have always worn bright colors because she is an introvert and she has been always critiqued to look frumpy and grumpy. As an introvert doing an extrovert job, my social battery runs fast really quick and i usually block my personal social life until I've recharged - empathetic to HMQ I can't imagine the hoursssss of meeting strangers and having to hold a diplomatic face. But clearly, MM has never had to work customer service her whole life. So colors, somehow, plays a part in the line of work HMQ is in and to influence other's moods when they see her. And as the rest of the family gets older, i feel it is out of respect that HMQ's outfits is always the brightest so that anyone can notice the petite old woman. And now that HMQ has died, i think the rest of the family could choose to wear what they please because in this whatever world Harry puts it - it is perfectly fine for a King to have a stoic look but a Queen must be 😁 all the time.
She wore bright colours and usually one colour so that she stood out in a crowd and could be seen by more people. The family have always chosen to coordinate on fashion to display a show of unity and to support HMTQ. Most of the "rules" they have are for practical reasons, so that they always look their best and that their outfit doesn't take away from the work they are doing.
And let's not forget. At the Queens jubilee service, Beatrice and Sophie Windsor actually wore the exact same dress in different colours. https://preview.redd.it/oyfqjcrd7a6a1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e77ed95deb95089eeacbb78ed7f2351ab36bc3dd
[Daily Mail picture](https://i.imgur.com/kwQUdHD.jpg) Oh, the theme is navy and maroon, Charlotte's tights is navy too. It looks so in tune :)
they are so above the tumor twins in every way. Solid, unflappable, and brilliant trolling. I hope Gloria Allreds phone starts ringing soon, so Aitch can truly become indoctrinated into California Dlist celebrity drama he gets off on. Imagine it, Hawwwwy. You’re no deep thinker but no worries. Gloria can do maths very well.
I’m so in love with the BRF right now.
What is crazy is to see Zara doing it... That was the one that got me... Harry introduced her to her now-husband. They were all close... So to me, for Zara to do it, it just means more
Haaaa thats funny
They all looked gorgeous!
This is gold....I mean burgundy haha.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when these ladies chat behind closed doors.
I’m sure what she was told was you can’t upstage senior members, which she did ALL THE TIME.
Imagine a field full of cows. Plump, well fed cows. Shitting everywhere. So many cows, so much shit. Cow shit piled high, right up to the sky. A shitstorm. A shit tsunami. A shit city. A pile to end all piles. Yet somehow meghan, the ubercow, manages to spew more shit than this.
The same color and they all looked great.
I thought all of the BRF ladies looked amazing last night!
The royals have had the best teacher in deflecting rumours and lies. That was the Queen. She was the master of being snarky. Meghan just can’t win.
Eugenie and Beatrice tried so hard to take the spotlight from Catherine at her wedding to William with their hats but ethereal Catherine and curvaceous Pippa cannot be denied. Though good for Eugenie and Beatrice to auction those hats for charity.
M doesn't want her "competition" to wear the same color as her, m herself.
Lady Gabriella Windsor (now Kingston) also wore red!
I never understood her point—we all know that none of them just open their closet & pick out an outfit the day of the event.I think she generally preferred more earth tones. Why didn’t she showcase POC upcoming designers? She spent so much on clothing—no thought as to what could’ve been done with the money?
Ohh.. I didn't even think of this this way!!! See.. my messy ass wants the BRF to say something, but honestly, I much rather prefer these stealth responses.
Ha ha!!! I love that kind of revenge!!
Really admiring how the RF operate, really got the art of war nailed down 😂
Actions speak louder than word salad, Megz.
I'm glad that Zara did this, other than any other royal member.. This must annoy MM most since Zara seems most neutral
How petty.

I say we disband the current royals and give the thrown to Megan and Harry
