The British Royal Family - news, views, clothes & shoes! #7

She seemed very thin in her jeans at Wimbledon.

MM's legs have always been thin, but she might have post-pregnancy belly, hence the loose fitting top and jacket at Wimbledon and the unbelted dress at the polo match.

Meghan's hair looks much longer than it was before she went on maternity leave. Could she have hair extensions? So many women have them now, it's sometimes difficult to tell who has their own long hair and who has extensions.

Late last night I went back and looked at yesterday's article from the DM because they always keep adding photos throughout the day. There are a ton more pics than when I first looked at it and one of my thoughts was she got extensions.

Where have you been?

You might wanna start here...

I recommend reading all the posts from there as you may miss the whole nostalgic 'Miami Vice' thing...

Or you can just skip to these;

Oh sorry, I see the name Piers Morgan and my eyes immediately roll down the street hahaha

So nope, I did not read his tripe (JMO!)

But I get it

I’m actually reading a book again I found while cleaning out and going through my collection, wanting to donate some. Found the one that Diana’s personal security officer wrote
Holy moly, what they have to go through daily before a royal even steps foot outside!

I usually do not like things Meghan wears....

But I liked this one “omg, that looks so comfortable” lol (runs and hides!)

Me too. I thought it looked comfortable and easy to wear if you are going to nurse a baby. I like the color on her, too.

When you see the photos of the scene from a longer distance, it's clearly meant to be a private family occasion with the cars rather hidden from sight behind a tree and a half-fence and the photographer's long lenses seem kind of intrusive.

I also think her hair is natural and she has that lovely "pregnancy hair" that many women get where their hair grows in thick and fast during their pregnancy.

...I got mixed up and posted the wrong death threat in previous post...

And yes, while Harry was the target, Meghan was the reason.

Thank you - I get it now

For the whole Royal family unfortunately 'death threats' are quite common. This I'm afraid is nothing new & kinda 'comes with the job'.
Remember Lord Mountbatten?

In 1979, Mountbatten, his grandson Nicholas, and two others were killed by a bomb set by members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, hidden aboard his fishing boat in Mullaghmore, County Sligo, Ireland.

Who coincidentally was born at 'Frogmore House'
Thankfully they do have excellent security & protection thou.

The ‘Lone Mujahid,’ Who Threatened Prince George, Pleads Guilty ​

LONDON — In a surprising courtroom reversal, Husnain Rashid, a self-described jihadist accused of encouraging a terrorist attack on the school of 4-year-old Prince George, the third in line to the British throne, changed his plea on Thursday and admitted a series of terrorism offenses that could bring life imprisonment.

...According to court testimony, Mr. Rashid used an online messaging service in October to publish a photograph of Prince George’s school in London, with silhouettes of jihadists superimposed on it. He also gave details of the school’s address and a warning that, “Even the royal family will not be left alone. School starts early.”

Sadly also so are people connected to them in a lot crazy ways ...

Mysterious death threats could explain why Prince Louis' birth certificate was typed instead of being handwritten​

Former Westminster registrar Alison Cathcart revealed she received death threats over her 'messy handwriting' on Prince George's certificate.

...In an interview with the Daily Mail in 2014, she said: "I got death threats. One person said their cat had better handwriting, someone called for me to be fired and someone even said I was illiterate."

I'm back to tiaras!

The Cameo Tiara

*Whooa... Look at that "CHAUMET WESTMINSTER TIARA"

The Cameo Tiara
1804: In France, Napoléon Bonaparte is crowned emperor at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. At his side is his wife, Joséphine.
Born in Martinique as the daughter of a wealthy Creole planter, Joséphine had previously been married to Alexandre de Beauharnais, a French aristocrat who was guillotined during the Reign of Terror. She is crowned empress by her husband at his coronation,

PLEASE don't get me started on the other Royal Houses listed at the "Tiarapedia!"

But wait... Did someone mention Prince Albert?
0h go on then...

Tiara Alert!

THE BAINS DE MER TIARA
- Monaco -

​

Made by Cartier, this tiara gets its name from the company who gave it to the Monegasque princess: the Société des Bains de Mer.

SBM owns some of the most important institutions in the principality, including the casino in Monte Carlo and the Hôtel de Paris, seen in two James Bond films.

Not at all surprising that they’d want to offer a tiara as a wedding gift to the famous actress who was becoming their new first lady!

Her dress is so ugly. It looks like a hospital gown except hospital gowns have better colors. That green would look sickly on anyone.

Everyone complains about her hair which I have thought was OK.
But this long.p, scraggly hair is bizarre

LOL

One of my friends who knows that I enjoy news about the Royals sent me this tweet Richard Palmer on Twitter


Sorry I don't know how to get the tweet to preview. It talks about Wimbledon and the whole Meghan no pictures thing.

@RoyalReporter​

It is perhaps The Times that provides the most damaging account, quoting a Wimbledon official involved in organising Meghan’s visit: “It was a nightmare, she was a nightmare.”

Forever a fashion icon: Princess Diana's iconic Virgin Atlantic sweater - her favorite gym-going attire - sells for a staggering $53K at auction, fetching more than TEN TIMES the estimate

I wish he would stop talking about the Duchess I am sure she couldn’t care less what he thinks. The Duchess was wise to ditch him as a friend when she started dating Prince Harry.

Jmo I have never seen anyone hold a baby like that. Just odd.

Ooops...Sorry, This was only meant to jokingly say @gregjrichards posted this 1st so beat me to it ... again

I like it too!
She clearly wasn't expecting anyone would be snapping pics of them just hanging out socially I guess she kinda underestimated just how much of this type of everyday intrusion is gonna affect her life now?

While I see his point on a couple of things, much of it is based on assumptions about her wishes and actions. Does anyone honestly think that the criticism would stop if Harry and Meghan followed Piers Morgan’s 10-Point Improvement Guide to perfection?

Let’s call a spade a spade. As Rosemadderlake pointed out earlier, Meghan is biracial. IMO there are some (if you read various article comments) who will not forgive her for marrying Harry no matter how hard she tries to comply with their “demands.” Add that to general resentment of the Royals’ wealth and privilege and it’s a no-win situation.

I wish he would stop talking about the Duchess I am sure she couldn’t care less what he thinks. The Duchess was wise to ditch him as a friend when she started dating Prince Harry.

I’m sure Meghan knew that Piers would use their friendship to attack her, much the way her father and sister have. I hope she has a “duck’s back” and can let this stuff slide right off.

Hair does grow faster during pregnancy. I would think if they were extensions, she would have a cute style.
