The British Royal Family #2

Anyone else get a flashback to Open All Hours?

I can't unsee that now.

Don't like Kate's outfit. It's a miss for me.

It’s a bit ill fitting or perhaps the fabric doesn’t move well and my first thought was “don’t like” but she still manages to look lovely. Camilla looks nice too. William and Kate are working so hard to preserve the image and good name of the monarchy to me it seems. They come off looking like they will make such good king and Queen consort. Charles and Camilla too (don’t want to wish them ill.)

Yup, I keep looking at it trying to decide what the issue is and, you are right, the fabric is too stiff and it's a bad fit. Also, something is off with the proportions--skirt needs to be shorter maybe and the boots are wrong--they should be more casual.

Bet it weighs a ton!

That's a massive tiara and a beautiful gown on her.

I just think that a larger, more poufy- ballroom-type dress with some ruffled neckline and big sleeves would have balanced out the "weight" of that tiara.

It makes her look like she needs a more " uplifting" bra. The skirt needs to be more fitted- or the jacket needs to be fuller cut- and the fabrics seem different in weight
- it looks mismatched in terms of flow. She still looks fabulous as always- of course- she looks good no matter what she has on.

Germaine Greer launches a brutal attack on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle | Daily Mail Online

Feminist my backside, I've never seen anyone judge the choices women make in their lives more than she does.
I don't understand the need to attack Meghan and Harry like that and it's particularly vicious. I really don't blame them one bit for upping and offing with the crap they've had thrown at them on nearly a daily basis.

Germaine Greer launches a brutal attack on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle | Daily Mail Online

Germaine Greer has never been one to keep her thoughts to herself

One important point that she made, and it applies to anyone who is in showbiz or marries someone who is in showbiz,

"'The marriage was terrible too, because it was full of showbiz personalities, as if Meghan lived in a completely artificial world,' she explained.

'The whole point about showbiz - it's not real, and it won't sustain you.'"

It takes a lot to maintain that life and it's not always fulfilling (according to one too many people in Hollywood).

I still hope that Prince Harry wins the struggle and gets to lead as ordinary a life as possible, for the sake of his mental health.

They should have stayed in the UK and take baby steps to carve a new life before one took off.... JMO

we all want happiness but the way it was done was so wrong on many levels. From dating to marriage to having a child came to fast.... JMO

Their spokesman confirms to PEOPLE that they separated last year and informed the Queen and other members of the family of their decision then.

Harry and William are taking on mental health. This is a situation that has been hidden and shamed for so long and still is.

Harry is royalty and he admits to having issues. Believe me, there are plenty of super rich filled with issues including being raised by nannies and never seeing their parents.

Blacks have now started looking at the generations of trauma and examining how it has affected them.

This all takes so much courage. People get money for all kinds of thing . The speeches are good as opposed to getting money for hawking fake meds online or whatever else people do.

I commend him greatly. I bet there are more people looking at their own selves now once they get over their denial that they have issues.

I was reading another article when I saw this. My thought is they will be doing more together not because Harry is gone but because William has to learn the job of the Prince of Wales. Just as he's begun to learn the Duchy of Cornwall responsibilities.

It’s a little sad...today’s engagement at a new hospital for disabled vets seems like the exact type of engagement Prince Harry loved.

Hopefully The Duke of Sussex will still be able to do a lot of charitable work with disabled veterans and other charities in Canada. I think it will really help him with his mental wellbeing if he is able to have a purpose in life that continues his Mum's legacy.
