Princess Diana's Favorite Gym Sweatshirt Sold for Over $50k at Auction

And you thought athleisure was already getting too expensive.

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

Meghan is in the public eye, a celebrity. She is not a regular, unknown wife and mother, that is the difference.
It's not gossip, she dresses in clothing that does not flatter her and is not right for her body type.
Could you imagine if QE2, Prince Charles, or William and Kate decided to "groom themselves as they wish"? It would not be good. There are royals in Europe who also dress to a certain standard because they represent not only themselves but a culture and an entire nation. They also know that there are protocols for what to wear, just like regular people have dress codes that they have to wear at work in the office.

How would people feel if their lawyer showed up to court wearing jogging pants and a ripped, stained t-shirt and uncombed hair? People wouldn't be telling him to groom as he pleases. Maybe not a lawyer, but how about your accountant or your real estate agent during a viewing of your place. Most of us would be upset. Presentation matters.

This is George McCorquodale, Diana’s sister Sarah’s son, that red hair!

And just because... I love these pics of Diana and her sisters

REVEALED: The woman who rejected Prince Charles​

PRINCE CHARLES had a relationship with Princess Diana’s sister Lady Sarah Spencer, however it “came to an abrupt end” in 1977 and Lady Sarah publicly rejected the Prince of Wales.

Lady Sarah said at the time: “He is fabulous as a person, but I am not in love with him.

“I wouldn’t marry anyone I didn’t love, whether it was the dustman or the King of England.

“If he asked me I would turn him down.”

In the past, many Royals and titled were highly unattractive.And the fact that there was so much interbreeding caused a lot of unfortunate features.

How has it come to be that there are such beauties as Lady Kitty?

Queen Elizabeth was very lovely younger. Queen Victoria, no.

Habsburg jaw and lip, which can still be slightly seen in the last remaining descendants from that royal line. Because it's a deformity, I'm not going to comment on their looks and treat it the same way one would a cleft palate or facial birth mark.

The Spencers weren't royalty, they were aristocratic. As for the royal family, they looked like any other Germanic European family. And even before the internet, they were hounded by the local press and people also talked about what they looked like, what they wore, how much they spent, and who was dating who.

Queen Victoria, was incorrectly blamed for causing hemophilia in the royal family, but now science has proven otherwise.

WOW

That dress is fabulous! She is by far the best-dressed Royal. Super-gorgeous

The Spencer kids are gorgeous, but they're not Royal.

But where has she shown up as so? Just Wimbledon?

Let’s face it, not all ladies have the best style but we really can’t say her out fits (mayyyybe trooping the colour but I really didn’t see the whole outfit) are that disrespectful?

Are they? Maybe I have missed some occasions lol

I distinctly remember this number of princess Diana’s that was like “what the hell was she thinking?!?! Oh, honey, just no” No way a stylist picked this, right? Lol.

Should add, Diana did lots of this “grooming as she wished”

remember the pearls down the back? Wearing gorgeous jeweled chokers as headbands?

And damn if she didn’t get slammed for that at the time too

The Duchesses are going to Wimbledon! Kate will join Meghan to watch her pal Serena Williams in the Women's Final tomorrow - a year after their first joint solo outing at the tournament

Oh god Meghan, please wear a simple pretty dress please! Just to stop the madness! (JMO)

Wouldn’t it be cute if Kate and her went as twinsies? Hahaha

Can someone photoshop a tiara onto this natural hair image:

This image is from the Top Ten list linked above. The tiara worn for the wedding -- with that pouf behind -- stunning!

JMHO YMMV and puleeze not for Wimbledon tomorrow....

 

[Kensie]

I am going to zip my lips and not say anything derogatory about M's appearance tomorrow. If I cannot say anything nice, I will not say anything at all. M, please look nice, have good makeup, nice hair style and killer clothes on. Zipping my lips is not easy for me.

Hey @Kensie, this is us:

Oh, I think is what a bad stylist might very well pick. Having seen photos of some celebrities in outfits done by a stylist, I am surprised by nothing.​

I really hope the Duchess of Sussex arrives at Wimbledon centre court like this just to wind up the Daily Mail online and its comment section.

LOL, SideEye, that is the most dreadful outfit I've ever seen on Princess Diana. I'm trying to unsee it
As for Meghan, I wouldn't say "disrespectful", she simply doesn't wear flattering, proper fitting, outfits. I don't think she dresses like that out of disrespect for the family, more like ignorance.

Should add, Diana did lots of this “grooming as she wished”

remember the pearls down the back? Wearing gorgeous jeweled chokers as headbands?

Kensie, can you make an exception? Now I'm going to be curious about your thoughts on her outfit and most importantly, her hair.
