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

Thomas is threatening legal action to get access to the Royal Baby now in the press it is disgusting.

It's time goes by, more and more, I think they sold lifetime rights to their story. Therefore they have no control over the story that is told and lie after lie after lie can be told.

What was the other high-profile case here that somebody sold their lifetime rights, and then somebody else bought them. Oh my gosh, never mind, that is political LOL I just remembered.

Yes it will go over £100,000. Prince Charles pays for the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex’s clothing for Royal engagements so they can pretty much buy what they want.

Do they really pay, though? Or do designers offer clothes for free or at a large discount like they do with celebrities?

I didn't know Prince Charles foots the bill. I can't imagine how awkward that must be. I feel awkward and uncomfortable when my mother-in-law visits and insists on buying nicer cheese than we usually buy.

Is that tag for real? I've never seen a sales tag attached to the hem of a dress.

Besides which: Doesn't Meghan wear designer couture? I don't think designers attach tags to the hems of their garments like that.

Perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about. But that tag seems fishy to me.

Fishy to me too!!!

The tag hanging from the dress is hilarious!

Oh, boy. She really needs to get a professional stylist who can make sure she doesn't make these mistakes. Seems like this stylist is in over her head. Also someone better at choosing appropriate and more flattering clothing.

I've read in gossip columns Meghan uses a similar trick as Jackie O: Have someone pay full price for the dress, (in this case Charles) then later sell it discreetly and pocket the money. Not all the clothing and accessories, but some.

She has a high profile stylist. She has clothes especially desighned for this tour. No dresses are picked off some rack. This is photoshopped.

"When her stylist reached out to inquire if I could make a dress for her Australian press tour, I stopped everything we were doing (my bridal show was just a week away) and immediately went to work on Her Royal Highness’s gown."

 

[Warwick7]

I really like the fact the Duchess changes it up and wears a lot of different styles and is much less formal in clothing than other Royal women. Princess Diana was a lot like this she looked great in a designer dress or a pair of jeans and a blouse.

The Queen and the Royal staff must be delighted at how well this tour has gone.

Agreed!!!!!

Curious if the tag could have been a seamstress tag with instructions for alterations or

A wardrobe schedule? Wardrobe is planned well in advance with notes for which shoes, jewelry, etc. So many events would make it hard to remember which dress for which event,country , etc.

It's a shame no one noticed .

When I visited Althorp in 2010 and ran into Charles Spencer ( Princess Diana's brother) in the gift store I purchased a copy of the full tribute he gave to Princess Diana at her funeral in Westminister Abbey Sept 6 1997. Charles Spencer kindly autographed it for me so I thought I'd share with you all.

The tag, regardless of what is written on it and what it's original purpose was, isn't photoshopped, it was real.
The Duchess's dress by THEIA was beautiful because it was designed for her. It looked and fit beautifully as it should. Meghan's poor taste and ill fitting outfits are the one's that aren't custom made.
Meghan likely doesn't know anything about the customs of the countries she attends, they have staff that deal with that. She isn't given a choice. When you visit another country you respect their customs, you are their guest even if you are royalty or married to one.

There are strict rules the Royals abide by regarding clothing and it is against Royal protocol to accept free clothing. They are often sent free clothing and Kensington Palace sends it back with a note saying thank you but it can’t be accepted. Famously the Kardashians sent the Duchess of Cambridge clothing and it was sent back.

Meghan is beautiful no matter what she wears.

Let us send Much Love to Meghan and Harry.

Yes, Meghan is beautiful. It's her outfits that aren't.
Unlike her outfits, Meghan and Harry are a good match.

With a baby on the way, one can only wish them well as a couple.

Meghan & Harry are going to be wonderful parents.

Their baby will be cherished.
