MM, please cut the hair. It looks terrible. Always greasy looking and never falling into place. Lone hair is nice when you are under 30, but the hair is not a good look.

Guess you would like me then @Kensie Lol. I am 54 and have long blonde hair. Just wear it up always. I joke that I’ll be that old lady with a bun

I have long wished Meghan would quit straightening her hair. I wished the same about Michelle Obama and she finally granted my wish. Gorgeous!

Five Epic Moments From Michelle Obama At The Essence Festival

I agree!

 

[Sherwood Park]

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.

Meghan's hair is not natural. She straightens her hair. Her natural is very tightly coiled. Her hair is what happens when there is too much product buildup. I've said before, she really needs to have a hairdresser who understands her type of hair. I've said before, she has black friends in Hollywood, she can ask them.

The dress isn't good for breastfeeding. It didn't look like an accessible dress for nursing.
It was a charity polo match. It wasn't a "private" event. However, I do wish the press would let them all be and enjoy themselves without having their every move being photographed. Unfortunately it comes with the territory.

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


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...

​

I had to log off the tiara site. Way too many beautiful tiara's and even better, stories behind the tiaras and jewels.

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

She might have extensions, she's worn them before. I'm more used to seeing women wearing the traditional "messy bun" and "ponytail" when they have a new born. Dirty hair, no one cares!

What "cute style"? Whenever I see women with hair extensions, many of which are obvious, there is no definitive "style". The extensions mostly hang loosely and straggly - like Meghan's hair in recent photos. The primary goal of hair extensions is to have long hair when your own hair doesn't grow well, or you can't/won't wait long enough to allow your hair to grow to the length that you want.

@BetteDavisEyes. I wish I had that problem. My Mom and best friend are both losing their thin hair and I have sooo much hair. As I posted above, I just pull it up. They both curse me. Meghan seems to have my type of hair. Unruly.

Wow, that’s a beautiful tiara. —*and one stunning Princess Grace.

...The tiara itself is made of three ruby and diamond elements set on a thin diamond-studded frame. The three upright elements can be removed and worn as brooches or as pendants on a necklace.

​

At some point, a pair of ruby and diamond earrings and a ruby and diamond ring were added to the set to make it into a small parure. Many think that Grace’s husband, Prince Rainier, was the person who supplied the extra pieces.

...Grace remains the only person to have been photographed wearing the piece as a tiara.

Nothing wrong with long hair. My friend is in her 60's and has long hair. The difference between my friend and MM is that my friend's hair has a style and never looks greasy. I personally love long hair but once my hair gets below the shoulders it does not look good.

Meghan needs a baby carrier / sling

Don’t they put sun hats on tiny babies anymore? lol

Glad to see them out and about

Prince Louis omg he’s adorable

Ohhh when watching Harry and Meghan’s wedding I was sure Prince Harry looked very concerned / worried moreso than a typical groom. I wondered if there were security concerns

 

[Hazelnutty]

I think Meghan looks fantastic for all she's been thru this last year.

Have mercy!

Fresh meat! Piranhas & sharks all around!

Too bad these gossipy news web sites are relied on as truth. She could possibly be a wicked . She could be a sweet little thing. Who knows?

Kudos to Meghan for being herself & dressing herself and grooming herself as she wishes. I hope she continues to live her life as a happy , healthy & decent person in whatever personal style she wishes.

It has to be awful to be judged so. I cannot even begin to imagine.

Master Archie is absolutely Adorable! He's got a wonderful set of parents

 

[Keine Engel]

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'm sorry but I gotta highlight this again.^

This IS NOT an issue whatsoever here!...
Not even our gutter press mention it
So as far as I've seen it's only been brought up by foreign (U.S. ) media where they keep making it sound like some kinda big deal?

We Brits with our 'quirky' customs & traditions may find many things to complain about Megs' 'heritage' is NOT one of them!

I’m not sure if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me! I said “some.” So I hope you don’t think I’m painting Brits with a broad brush. I was referring to the ones in your footnote.

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?

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."

Wasn’t Princess Anne almost “attempted” kidnapped one evening at gun point?

I’ll have to google but remember reading about it and how she was so cool and calm about the ordeal

Yes, found it

Royal KIDNAP: How Princess Anne was centre of horror abduction attempt




Or the shooter who shot blanks at the Queen once during trooping the colour? Didn’t someone break into her bedroom once too?

Queen Elizabeth ASSASSINATION attempt: How a TEENAGER tried to shoot the Queen


Man Breaks Into Buckingham Palace While Queen Elizabeth Is Sleeping

These women are the definition of stellar steal fortitude in times of crises. So admirable


Also a man trying to shoot Prince Charles while on stage, I remember that one.

My goodness, I’ve gone down a rabbit hole lol

I agree, she has beautiful natural ethnic hair from what I have seen of young pics of her. Maybe one day she will “just let it go”

But I will admit, sometimes women just start to feel “comfortable” with one style. I have had the same kinda long layered cut with bangs since, goodness, the 90s it feels like hahaha. It’s just what feels comfortable to me. It’s hard to change hair styles and what YOU like on your self. I think most women can agree to that?

And more on this, damn if I’m not jealous that I cannot look beautiful with my hair just parted down the middle or just totally pulled back off my face. Both of my daughters just have long wavy hair that can be parted down the middle, pulled back, however, and look gorgeous. Me? Pfffttt

I just look homely and totally “nerdy” for some reason lol Just cannot pull it off....oh well

I actually have many UK friends, not just saying that! Lol have a “baby” website and I am a part of a lot of mom groups that are mostly UK-based and I’ve made a lot of friends that I’ve had for years and years and years. I can kinda attest to this. They never even mention how she is bi-racial it’s not even a thought to them? It’s intersecting the dynamic with that. Though we have many similarities, most common speaking English and many here are from European descendants, we do have a very different “culture”.

I hope that makes sense and doesn’t offend!

Stunningly beautiful, Lady Kitty Spencer, Princess Diana’s niece in Lake Como Italy.
I met Charles Spencer, father of Lady Kitty, at Althorp Estate in 2010 and amongst other conversation I told him how much I admired Princess Diana.

No! I know you weren't
It was to make it clear that overall it's just not a 'thing'.
By that I mean not just in a 'racist' capacity of any kind, but in any capacity.
It's altogether a 'non-issue'
If that makes sense? lol

I do realise you're probably unaware so I should also point out that 'aphorism' may be somewhat inappropriate -
