Is anyone else super bored of this casual tour? Not hat events. No state dinners, galas, etc. Not a tie, military uniform or cocktail dress to be found. yes for the fashion, but no for the great causes. I am a complicated and hard to please royal fan |

I’m a sucker for emerald cut and Art Deco so Camilla’s would be my top choice.
Queen mums original and Anne’s would be up there too.

I was going to share over the weekend but more important info popped up,
But I stayed at the same hotel that the queen stayed at during her tour of Canada. I’m basically Royalty.

i'm legit shocked that Diana/Kate's ring isn't the top pick It's just average. |

Kate/Diana's ring is pretty, but not for an engagement ring, IMO. I love Camilla's ring.
I strongly disllke the trench dress.

I found this online - illustration, but it works:  I’ll take the Queen Mother’s then 😂 From this, I think I would go 1) Autumn Kelly 2) Meghan Markle 3) Sophie Rhys-Jones 4) Zara Phillips 5) Serena Stanhope 6) Camilla Parker Bowles 7) Queen Elizabeth 8) Wallis Simpson 9) Sarah Ferguson 10) Diana/Kate 11) Queen Mother 12) Princess Margaret 13) Alexandra of Denmark I feel like Alexandra's ring looks like a birthstone ring for a mom with a big family. |

I am a complicated and hard to please royal fan I feel like they've gotten so much criticism lately (a lot of it unfair) that they needed to do a more substantive tour so they did. I know a few times other royals have been accused of vacation-touring, which they get a pass for. But because H&M currently get criticized for everything, they kind of have to show they are all business or mostly business to make it harder for people to complain. |

Doesn't hurt that they actually seem passionate about these causes |

I am personally not a huge fan of any of the rings. Give me a big old round solitaire on a thin eternity band.

I will take Diana's/Kate's ring. Though I don't absolutely love any of them.
I'm picky as heck when it comes to rings. I told my then BF so, and said "I've never seen a ring that I love enough to wear forever. Good luck." And he found the perfect ring!!!

Right? What is it with the belts and buttons? Like, I love belts on a dress. A large portion of my dresses have a belt attached. BUT I am 5’11 and my torso is super long so it helps break it up. Proportions are crucial. Meghan doesn’t seem to get that. Yeah. I’m 5’1” with a short torso and learned to stay away from buttons in junior high. I blamed my small shoulders and big boobs for that style making me look like I was wearing a wrinkled box,but it turns out it’s nagl even if you’re thin and not shopping at Contempo Casuals. |

Is Diana/Kate's the QM's center stone reset? It looks like it from the illustration, but could also just be the shape/stone are similar.

I always thought I wanted a princess cut, but I love my round and I am round for life now too. My sister wants a princess cut and while her ring that she likes is actually slightly smaller than mine it looks bigger, but mine outshines hers |

Ugh I hate wrap dresses. The salesperson at Motherhood Maternity was really trying to convince me to buy one last week, hard pass. i've never found a wrap that actually covered my boobs so i end up with the unattractive tank top coving cleavage look. And i have small boobs so how do they work on big racked ladies? Size up. And a quality dress. They should have lots of fabric at the top. |

I knew going into it that it would be more low key with the baby and everything, but I’m still underwhelmed with the events and lack of fashion. Somewhat related, I’ve seen some of the royal blogger mention this tour is receiving less coverage than most, which is disappointing because they have been working with incredible causes, but I feel like missing those big wow moments is hurting them |

H&M are taking legal action against the Daily Mail. He also blasts the press for their treatment of M in the statement

I like Sophie's ring best. I like Camillas style, but on her finger it looks sooo big, so much ring. I am also a big fan of Kate's, but sapphires are the only colored stone I really like.

Hours late, but I think I’ll need to test drive all those rings before I can make a decision. Although Zara’s is more of what 12 year old Sally imagines a princess ring would be.

I just don’t really love diamond engagement rings, I find them a bit boring unless it’s a full Camilla style

What letter did they publish? I’m trying to remember but am too lazy to google. I’m surprised they spoke out and hope it doesn’t put more of a target on her back, but this is one of the few cases where I didn’t roll my eyes when someone cried “bullying”

I’m a sucker for an emerald cut, so I’ll take Camilla’s whopper as an upgrade for my current (much smaller) similar ring.

I’m also surprised they released Harry’s statement while they’re still on tour, it seems like one more distraction from the work they’re doing in South Africa
