And feel free to skip the nice comment to make up for the hate. No need to add how great her make up looks, luscious her hair is, or sparkly her teeth are to show you donβt think sheβs a trash human I hated Maximaβs red dress, but Iβm pretty sure sheβs never murdered anyone and her smile is pretty. Itβs like back on the bump with the helpful tips. That dress is fucking terrible and makes her look 80 but she should try fabric softener sheets for dusting.

I think part of it is that even if itβs something I donβt like, Maxima wears it with such confidence that I start to doubt myself. Itβs like sheβs always in βIβm fabulousβ mode and I find that really hard to argue with. π€·ββοΈ Itβs not just the outfit, itβs her, know what I mean?

Since people have been commenting on the casual nature of Meghan's clothing choices during this tour, I wonder if that was intentional. She's been getting so much criticism in the media this past year for being high maintenance, demanding, and a diva with lots of commentary about the expense of her wardrobe. I wonder if she wanted to show herself putting her nose to the proverbial grindstone on this tour and not give people an opportunity to make a fuss about her clothing.
Personally I like seeing the royals wearing casual clothing because that's closest to what I wear in real life so sometimes I'll think about buying a piece (but never do, lol). The one unfortunate thing was that they didn't have any fancy occasions to bust out the gowns and jewels!
Kate's casual clothing choices are my jam but I liked a lot of the pieces Meghan wore on this trip too.

I would have preferred she swap the black and white dress at the beginning for the trench dress at the end. Granted I can't remember what the engagement was for where she wore that, but that dress would have been a better option for meeting dignitaries IMO.
For the record, I have yet to see a trench dress I actually cared for on anyone - royal or not.
ETA: I forgot about the Desmond Tutu meeting dress. I liked that one too and looking back it felt like good choice for the engagement.

I think the royal women in general aren't going to please because if they take the safe choice all the time, I'll find them boring. If they take more fashion risks, there are bound to be some looks I don't like. I'm hard to please. So I think I would prefer fashion choices like Maxima and Letizia where they look great a lot of the time even if I don't like all their looks than some of the more boring royal dressers out there like Camilla or Kate.

Awww She was trying to tell MIL about Meghan yesterday and I think my MIL was not as impressed with her fascination with her, but I had to school her on the great causes she speaks for. She said ? The princess?. I gave up

Letizia looks great, until I get to the shoes. She couldn't have found some black flats that didn't look like granny shoes?

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? Was I the only one wondering why Tom Brady was doing a documentary on H&M? I was very confused for a second. +1 LOL

PRINCE Harry is suing the UK tabloid papers of both Rupert Murdoch and their industry rivals Mirror Group Newspapers for allegedly hacking his phone, Byline Investigates can exclusively reveal. In a major escalation of his war on Fleet Street, the 35-year-old Duke of Sussex filed documents at the High Court in London last Friday, September 27, via his lawyers Clintons LLP alleging both news groups misused his private information for stories. It raises for the first time the possibility of a serving member of the Royal family entering the witness box in trials against some of the most powerful media organisations in the world. A legal source told Byline Investigates: βAn appearance by the Prince in the witness box would immediately make this an historic moment in British law. βThere are strong matters of principle at stake here for the prince. A lot of work has gone into preparing these cases to the point they can be formally filed. βHis legal team plainly feels there are cases to be answered here.β Byline Investigates understands the Princeβs claim is unlikely to proceed to trial until early 2021 at the soonest, and will focus in part on the activities of private detectives commissioned by The Sun, the News of the World and the Mirror titles. The Murdoch and Mirror papers have a record of settling phone hacking cases at the door of the court. It costs them a lot of money, but it also prevents a public trial at which executives and reporters past and present would be required to account for themselves and at which all the facts would come into the open. βIt also suits many complainants to settle because, angry though they may be, they are reluctant to risk the costs of a trial. βThat logic may not apply to Prince Harry. It's too early to say, but depending on how much he wants to make the press bosses suffer, he might yet precipitate a sensational civil trial.β www.bylineinvestigates.com/murdoch/2019/10/4/world-exclusive-now-prince-harry-sues-the-sun-and-mirror-in-war-on-tabloids

And they already said whatever money they get they are donating to anti bullying groups so I can see them going full on

Ahhh, now the scathing letter makes more sense. Harry is in a really interesting position of being extremely relevant right now, but his future is less and less so as the Cambridge kids grow up. So he can make some huge waves now if he needs, without it following him all the way to the throne like it would Will.
I say, go get em, Harry.
