Sierra Leone in 1961 image uploadGambia 2018 image uploadThis is just a quick google but there is some dressing up while in Africa. Those are state affairs though and for the monarch/next in line. It was announced there would be no state dinners on this trip.

It feels like Meghan has been recycling dresses a lot for this tour, and love her accessories ! I that green leather dress look was amazing, I wish I had the body to pull it off. I also donβt get the timing of Harryβs letter but I guess enough was enough π€·πΌββοΈ And how come Andrew is still performing Royal Engagements?? Canβt the queen retire him so that he does not parade around. Unbelievable! She could, but since she doesnβt exactly believe in accountability for her favorite son, she wonβt.

Itβs not always boring casual engagements. Sometimes they get state black/white tie events.

So tinfoil hat here, major one, but the timing of the legal action coincides with Andrew and Co. going out and about again. Perhaps someone encouraged Harry to do it now in hopes of distracting the media from Andrew resuming engagements?

Iβm just stating that it seemed to me like a double slandered, I can see the difference between pointing to loser clothes as hiding a pregnancy to saying hey it looks like she has a bump. But Iβm also pretty sure bumps have been speculated about on Eugenie and Kate as well. Iβm at a 1 about it all so Β―\_(γ)_/Β― By us or the media? The only time I remember pregnancy questions were with megβs Coat at the wedding which again was more based on clothing choice I mean, I canβt swear to it, or anything, but I think Iβve seen comments here along the lines of βis that a bump I see?β And inspecting bodies to see if they look pregnant or itβs just the outfit. Iβm not saying anyone is bad or anything. Iβve probably done it too. I just thought it was interesting that it was pointed out as body shaming to speculate pregnancy for Meghan and not others. Also Iβm really at a 1. People speculate and will always and people will call it out and will always.

I donβt think Iβd have minded the skirt with a plain blouse or the blouse (minus color/cuffs) with a black or other solid colored skirt (like MMβs green p/leather), both both together is too much.

Do you think that the $30 Madewell earrings go in the same travel jewelry case as the $$$$$$ jewelry with security & all?

He gave the Queen a very quick heads up and did it.

At first I thought the timing of the statement was odd too. But now, π€·ββοΈ. Good for them for standing up for themselves it's about time. I hope this starts a change, but we'll see.

So the Sun is reporting that Harry didn't consult with the royal family before releasing his statement and the royal reporters are making a big deal about it, calling it a "rant" and so on. The Queen's secretary insists that she was informed beforehand but he didn't consult BP PR people for guidance in writing it and Charles and William supposedly only found out when it was published. But as anyone who has been following along in the past year knows, the family has done fuck all for Meghan's situation since the wedding so why would they consult them? Harry probably thinks they're part of the problem. It's really interesting to me that he didn't go to Charles or William for advice. He must be so sick of the whole family using Meghan as a shield to deflect from the larger problems (Andrew, William's rumored affair, etc.). It's really appalling when you think about it from their POV. www.thesun.co.uk/news/10055044/prince-harry-william-charles-press-rant-meghan-markle/

Oh huh. Thatβs interesting and definitely lends more credence to the theory that something much bigger than the letter has happened.

Also while the fashion was boring during their tour and for the most part we are here for the fashion I have a hard time saying the tour was boring because they were focused on such great great causes and she used ethical designers and I have to give her credit for that.

Iβm honestly so lost on this whole thing. A documentary on their Africa tour? It will explain a lot? What the fuck? Am I watching royalty or the Kardashians?

I know that it is about the fashion I am just saying I can't say boringΒ I feel like this is the equivalent of βbut she looks happy and her makeup is great!β We know theyβre there for the causes. Thatβs what all the royals do this for. But I am also here for the fashion and it was sub par.
