Prince Harry will not meet the King during UK visit.

I much prefer the Ortiz outfit she wore the other day Joseann. This wrap-around fabric doesn't flatter her body shape - though I think it's probably a good move "politically". I think the Ortiz dress looked really lovely.

I like the colours but would have preferred to see it as a traditional dress rather than with a white shirt. Was Meghan given Nigerian fabric? In which case there wouldn't have been time to make a dress.

A Slap In The Face For. Harry

Charles had made William Colonel in Chief of Army Air Corp.

How is this a slap in the face ? Charles was the previous Colonel
In Chief

I've done a bit of research for you here Callistemon. It would seem the skirt was a gift at some function or other. Harry was given a matching top it would appear. Look at his face, saying, "I wouldn't be seen dead in that. It looks like old man pyjamas!"

Which media outlet was that?
They are really stirring the shit pot aren't they!

Harry is not doing any more Royal duties and others have had to take over some of his previous roles, as decided by the late Queen Elizabeth.

A little on the large side for him?

It was offensive, she was mocking a very elderly lady

Maybe I’m thicker than usual, but how exactly was that mocking the queen? I took it that she was trying to mock herself for not knowing how to curtsy ( which I don’t believe for a moment), and copying how she had seen it done at an American Mediaeval themed restaurant.

I don’t think so Daddima. As I recall, she was showing in a very exaggerated way how she had to curtsey to the Queen (and everyone else who took precedence over her).

In defence of the hand-picked Royal staff, chosen by Harry, Meghan was taught royal protocol and how to curtsey to her future Grandmother-in-law. She had many months of training for her future role and to try to pretend otherwise is a variation of the truth.

Yes. Another of her untruths.

I do not believe she didn’t know, she had lived in England for
over 2 years, living in Windsor, Christmas in Sandringham
official duties . I am quite sure she would have had protocols
explain to her

I am quite sure she would have had protocols explain to her

I can assure you she had very good training in protocol prior to their marriage 🙂

True Callistemon she certainly knew how to curtsy to the
Queen during her marriage service

When the cameras were on her.

Yes, the entire family had much love and respect for the Queen
plus they kept to protocol with her.

Daddima are you seriously telling us you didn’t know that Meghan was mocking the queen?

Even H knew she was mocking her which is probably why he looked extremely uncomfortable when she did so.

What Meghan was doing was parodying the 'Texas Dip, 'a full obeisance sweeping the floor that American debutantes were supposed to perform when they were presented (no idea to whom) and apparently based on Anna Pavlova's movements at the end of the 'Dying Swan.
No court curtsy performed in England was ever like that; straight back and agonising balance on bent legs, one foot behind the other.
I remember M in the clip; her eyes were glittering, she was high on showing off or worse, and Harry looked ashamed.

She certainly was high , eyes looked wild

Yes, I am! Please explain how she mocked the queen.

As I said before, she was pretending she didn’t know how to curtsy, and quoted Mediaeval Dinner and Show, which I believe is popular in America and Canada.

I think Meghan has a sense of fun.
It's quite rare, aside from the late queen, and Charles and Camila.

With Camilla is the first time I've seen Charles have a good old belly laugh, and the late queen had a dry sense of humour too.

If you don’t know Daddima, I don’t think I could possibly make you able to understand.
Nor can I be bothered!

A woman who has expressed wishes to go into politics thought
a joke of meeting the Queen was acceptable!
