I saw in the newspaper that Megan Markel's dress cost £56,000. To me, this an obscene amount to spend on a dress and very poor public relations when there are so many homeless, and thousands struggling to make ends meet on inadequate pay. Surely Kate has got the right idea when she buys "normal" clothes and looks lovely in them.
Some people sound very bitter. It is up to each couple what they spend on photos and what they wear. What one couple chooses to wear does not affect others. I hope they are very happy together.
This is the dress. It's perfectly decent and shows nothing. Why should anyone advise she shouldn't wear it? I think they look great in all the photos and Harry has never looked better.
As for the cost, do people think the gowns worn by the Royal Family are run up by a local seamstress? ALL of the gowns are custom made by designers and cost thousands of pounds. We're talking about names like Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham. MM paid for the dress herself, but didn't pay anything like the amount quoted everywhere. The price is just another stick to beat her with.
Why are people beating her so ? is it really just pure jealousy is it because ‘ a foreigner’ has penetrated the English ranks is it because she’s of mixed race heritage, or are people so small minded they just want to break down anyone that seems to have what they haven’t got There was none of this bile for the English roses that were Diana or Kate so it’s not about status and being a ‘commoner’ I m beginnng to think it IS inherent racism and that is shocking and makes me ashamed of my fellow countrymen
[BlueBelle] completely and utterly agree with everything you have written here, there are many on this thread who should be very ashamed, thankfully in the minority on this site
Completely agree Bluebell, some of the comments on here are filled with such bitterness, envy and spite. There should have been more than the one deletion imo.
I agree too BlueBelle think Princess Pushy showed how many people feel with her brooch. So sad. I wish them both a happy Christmas and good luck for the future.
I wish them well. I prefer more formal photos but that’s just me. Whatever the cost of the dress I didn’t think her choice was suitable. In private the Royal family are more relaxed
Can't believe this thread but just to throw this in the mix, the coat worn by Kate to church for the Christmas service, cost twice as much as Meghan's choice for church today. (If the media are to be believed.)
We expect them to look good though, don't we? If she had turned up in something from Primark there would have been twice as many posts on here criticising her for that! I don't believe the price quoted is correct anyway. Leave them alone.
