Sorry Meghan, Kate wins hands down today.
Those trousers are awful.

Well of course we are mabon we all live in glass houses after all ?

At the receiving end of your callous comment on “Bereavement” I imagine you do not include yourself in the “nasty lot” hmm

I thought Kate looked pretty and feminine in her dress and Meghan looked, if not dreadful, messy.

Messy hair, baggy shirt with skew-wiff collar and awful trousers which were FAR too long AND with black pointy-toed stilettos. No idea.

I love the clothes that Meghan wears - so smart and stylish - but didn't like her outfit at Wimbledon. I thought Kate looked lovely, as she always does.
So mabon you think some people have been 'nasty' on this thread - well we were asked by annsixty what we thought of the two duchesses' outfits and, as you would expect, some liked them and some didn't. We clearly have different ideas to what is nasty, that's for sure!

Kate looked like an English Rose and Meghan looked stylishly American.

Meghan's couture outfit drowned her tiny frame. It would have been fine if the shirt had been 2 or even 3 sizes smaller and the trousers had been 6inches shorter.

Kate, as always, looked perfectly dressed for the occasion. She is our future Queen and will do us proud.

Selena's tennis dresses are not very flattering, apparently the long sleeves are for compression since she is prone to blood clots.

I agree with Old Meg, I am glad they both have their own style; it would be just awful if they became the same. I liked Megan's blouse, it looked fresh and comfortable for a hot day, whereas I bet Kate wasn't quite so comfy.

Although I think its good they have distinctive styles, I would have been happier in a dress to sit there all afternoon in the heat. I liked Meghan's outfit but could someone please do something about her floppy hair, could Kate lend her a hairnet?!

Does it really matter who dressed the best? Not a point for discussion I am sure. I would not like anyone criticising the way I dress as I dress for me...nobody else. Oh and I thought they both looked lovely by the way...they each have their own style perfect for them.

I’ve just spent the day on the coast. My ensemble included a big striped cotton shirt. Very baggy and baggy long shorts (not quite culottes) I bet I was more comfortable than most of the others. My skin benefitted too. Bet Megan was cooler than many others too!

Always think Megan looks nice, Katherine used to but gone a bit old fashioned lately but both lovely girls,
Beatrice and Eugene are the worst dressers ever, wonder what the wedding dress will be like.

HannahLoisLuke Sun 15-Jul-18 17:35:20

They both looked lovely in their own way but I prefer Meghans style usually, edgier and more up to date. Can't stand those over long trousers though. Silly trend that started with Victoria Beckham.

grannybuy Sun 15-Jul-18 18:16:57

Meghan reminds me more than ever of the Duchess of Windsor. Those trousers could be from that era.

MissAdventure Sun 15-Jul-18 18:27:13

Kate looks middle aged as far as I'm concerned.

Anniebach Sun 15-Jul-18 18:36:19

Kate looked great today , she likes dresses, very wise in this weather

Irenelily Sun 15-Jul-18 20:45:48

Just seen this and had to add when I saw the royals at the tennis, I had just come back from town - wearing a blue striped blouse and white trousers like Meghan’s BUT they fitted me properly and were bought in M&S 3 years ago! I was quite flattered but I bet she wouldn’t be - to think a pensioner had made a similar choice!

maddy629 Sun 15-Jul-18 23:09:31

I agree about Serena's dress but it must have been comfortable, she wore it at every match, although she could have had more than one the same.

fluttERBY123 Mon 16-Jul-18 11:20:33

Guessing Serena is still breast feeding. Her bust seemed to vary wildly in size from day to day.

Jalima1108 Mon 16-Jul-18 12:43:48

No, she's not fluttERBY

However, whilst some women complain that they become 'flat as pancakes' after breastfeeding, others may find the opposite.
