Good to see pics of Meghan out & about again. Hope to see more pics of Master Archie very soon.

I think you’ll have to take a trip to South Africa in about 2 weeks to get a glimpse of him

I think Meghan has a different shape. She was far more slender before. Not that I would not love her shape!!!! Just comparing.

I remember when high heels with pants were considered a big “no”. And short pants were another big “no”.

I can see that pants would have to have a greet fit, but I do not understand the cost of the white shirt. It looks like any other white shirt.

I imagine Meghan has expressed milk for her trip away.

Good for her using her privilege to support causes.

Hopefully, it will lead to more and more good.

Is that the full collection? 1 dress in 3 different colours, black suit, white shirt and bag?
I don't mind any of the pieces, I just assumed there'd be more variety.

Disappointing that only the dresses are available in larger sizes (M&S and Misha Noo go to a UK24 which is a US20 and jigsaw only go up to UK16 which is a US12), I imagine smartworks has need for larger sizes than that even. It would be a bit rubbish if you were above a UK16 and all you got was the dresses. a bag and a shirt, no jacket or trousers. Maybe going forward they'll be able to partner with someone who can do the larger sizes in all the clothes. Jigsaw shouldn't have gotten involved if they were only going to do up to a 16

Is this a legit Websleuth forum?

Yes indeed!

BTW, I do not have the Portland Tiara, either!

Now if this one goes missing, all bets are off:

I am appalled by the mean-spirited posts on a victim friendly website. As a female, grandma, and mother, I find the posts body-shaming a new mother inappropriate.

As an educator, it hurts me to the core to read the comments about MM’s hair. I’ve had 5-6 year old students falling asleep at school because they had to get their hair “done” the night before. The process takes hours.

And my “mixed” students get bullied daily for being light skinned. I need role models to give these students hope. When I come here and read adults modeling the same behavior, I just get so discouraged.

Can’t we just try to be a little kinder? Maybe show some grace?

"I’ve had 5-6 year old students falling asleep at school because they had to get their hair “done” the night before."

This part of your post jumped out at me. No 5-6 year old needs to have hours spent on their hair on a school night such that they're sleeping at school the next day. That's beyond ridiculous. #priorities

So why does the Queen refuse to use the heating at Balmoral?

According to royal expert Brian Hoey the Queen does not use the heating because of her dogs.

He wrote in The Lady magazine: “Royal children often like to have their pet dogs - of the smaller variety on their beds at night for very practical reasons: they kept them warm on cold winter nights.

“Royalty have always avoided heating homes too much; ask any guest who has frozen when staying at Balmoral, even in August.

“Chilly bedrooms were made more welcoming after the pet dogs had lain their for a couple of hours before bedtime.”

I love seeing photos of Her Majesty with her dogs over the years I bet they were spoilt rotten.

I don't think MM's hair is natural but I may be wrong. I think , at least in my case, that people don't like her hair is because it never looks combed and she constantly fiddles with it. I hate that kids are getting bullied over darn their light skin and their hair. I feel like MM should look more polished looking considering her position but that is just me. I think a shoulder length bob would look great on her but then again I am not a stylist.

“Prince Charles’ wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is at it again – swanning around sunny Sardinia on a glorious private yacht, with Charles nowhere in sight.

The notoriously work-shy royal was papped soaking up the rays in the glamorous Mediterranean hot spot with a group of friends during a private jaunt.”

“The Queen is positively livid over Camilla’s holiday,’ a palace source was quoted as saying.”

Continued

“Britain's Telegraph newspaper quotes a source as saying, 'She is a lazy woman, she certainly doesn't want to work. Charles and Camilla argue about how little she really wants to get involved.'”

PICS: 'Lazy' Camilla strips down in Sardinia while the Queen fumes

This article is something else and I thought the Daily Mail was bad. I bet Her Majesty is too busy enjoying Balmoral to be livid over the Duchess of Cornwall’s holiday.

Does the Duchess of Cornwall normally get press like this in Australia? I do not think the Duchess of Cornwall is lazy.

I think it is interesting that her size is different. Kate was stick thin shortly after Louis’s birth.

It is interesting that you would take my post, I assume, as body shaming. Hm. I think it is in your eyes that you feel her body is not good enough?

I find it so strange that many stars walk out of childbirth with such impossible shapes.

Usually a mother with a 4 month old is not back to pré pregnancy.

It appears that Meghan is going with a more natural body progression.

Camilla is over 70. Americans who can are at their senior golf development playing golf and sipping cocktails.

^^ re: Swanning in Sardinia article. It seems Camilla is not popular in AU?

Ok, perhaps some have never forgiven her. Here’s what’s tragic, stifling rules of the monarchy broke three hearts.

Rules change, lessons learned... Harry could marry an imperfect bride, for love.

And with all the “engagements” tallying in the article, the image of Iditarod pops into mind... mush!



Camilla is having some fun with some GF’s, FGS. Those photos are so invasive.

And weren’t Camilla and QE enjoying, really enjoying the Scottish games at Balmoral last week? I think they get along well.

If anything, I think the Queen must be stressed out by the avalanche of tabloid press. It’s been quite relentless.

All this tallying... and maybe Camilla paid her own way? She’s a woman of her own means. I’ve always admired her for keeping her life out of the spotlight. And she’s protective of her children and grandchildren, too.

And with these exceptionally dishy articles I can see exactly why.

There. Ok, glad to get all that off my chest... lol!

I don't know whether the Duchess of Cambridge does her own hair or has a stylist who sees to it that Kate is always impeccably coiffed. For this particular event, when Meghan was introducing a line of clothing for women entering the work force, the Duchess of Sussex should have had a more professional looking hair style. I actually like Meghan's hair in a neat bun instead of the straggly and unkempt style that she features more often than not. I, too, would like to see Meghan with a fresh, new coiffure and lose the long locks altogether.

There is a video of her hugging her crew after the presentation and there is a small clump of what is obviously a set of extensions extending along her back while the rest of her hair is on her front side.

She really needs hair help.
