Megan’s choice of outfit at the Endeavour awards, what was the stylist thinking? Is it a dress? Is it a shirt tucked in wrong?I have been liking her styling lately but someone missed the mark tonight!

I seem to remember as child, there being a bit of attention to princess Anne because she had a red streak in her hair.
Who cares?
Its chitchat, nothing more.

I haven't got a clue what you're on about jura. What am I supposed to be enjoying? I didn't make any comments about Wallis Simpson.

What makes me laugh is people who criticise the comments of others and declare they're not going to bother reading them in future - Yeah right!

Try reading my posts properly and no, I'm not Swiss. My Sis-in-law is though and thankfully has a wonderful sense of humour and doesn't take people to task for their opinions.

She won't care anyway about GN opinions. Why would she? We don't know here & she has no idea we exist.
GN is not a top fashion mag critiquing her style. What it probably looks like to outsiders is just a bunch of disparate older white women (mostly) rather enjoying the chance to be unkind about the dress sense of a young, mixed race woman in a fortunate situation.

She is not the only person in the public eye whose choice of clothes are commented on . When a tv actress she willingly posed for the cameras

Merlot said clearly 'it made her laugh' - so I do hope she enjoys it. Not every post responds directly to you personally petra ;) lol. Is Merlot Swiss?

Theoddbird Sat 09-Feb-19 13:19:32

When are people going to stop going on about what she wears. How would you like it if someone kept saying they didn't like the way YOU dressed. Leave her alone PLEASE

petra Sat 09-Feb-19 11:42:28

but if it makes you laugh...enjoy
Who's laughing? Certainly not me. Must be a Swiss humour thing.

Anniebach Sat 09-Feb-19 10:03:15

I think a loose, long t-shirt looks better than a dress which stretches under the bump

Gonegirl Sat 09-Feb-19 09:50:53

Oh I second RosieLeah's comment about the t-shirt and tight leggings! With the protruding belly button. grin

Anniebach Sat 09-Feb-19 09:50:41

She was a divorced American woman who married into the royal family

merlotgran Sat 09-Feb-19 09:49:32

I was wondering that, Gonegirl

Threads meander though.

Gonegirl Sat 09-Feb-19 09:48:32

What the flip has Wallis Simpson got to do with the price of fish? confused

jura2 Sat 09-Feb-19 09:46:22

Saying she could not hold a candle to Mrs Simpson- certainly sounds very personal. But if it makes you laugh - enjoy.

merlotgran Sat 09-Feb-19 09:42:46

It makes me laugh when people declare how bored/fed up/angry/ dismayed they are with negative comments about the RF then state they're not going to bother reading them in future.

Promises, promises.

The truth is they see a thread title and can't wait to zoom in on their high horses with their bossy comments.

The same will happen with the next thread and the next and the next. hmm

Commenting on royal fashion is not a personal attack.

Lily65 Sat 09-Feb-19 09:28:56

petra, I think the rolled up sleeves thing may be fashion?

When you say Wallis Simpson couldn't hold a candle to Meghan, you mean she was neat and tidy?

jaylucy Sat 09-Feb-19 09:25:20

Bored of all the negative comments about the way that Meghan dresses.
Also, when will people get into their thickheads that her surname is no longer Markle ???? angry

petra Sat 09-Feb-19 09:23:47

Megan couldn't hold a candle to Wallis Simpson.
Could you imagine WS going to a public event (or anywhere) with untidy rolled up sleeves on a white shirt?
No.

LullyDully Sat 09-Feb-19 08:47:45

I have just looked the outfit up. Rather smart black skirt and white blouse. Why do people worry what the poor woman wears for goodness sake? She must be so fed up with the carping of the media.

RosieLeah Sat 09-Feb-19 06:56:20

At least she isn't wearing tight leggings and a t-shirt, as so many pregnant women do.

Anniebach Fri 08-Feb-19 22:08:25

But has been said Wallis was a mother substitute for Edward and she controlled him , he was so smitten

Lily65 Fri 08-Feb-19 21:54:04

not peas, please

Lily65 Fri 08-Feb-19 21:51:50

Agree Annie and.......

Pease in what way or ways is Meghan like Wallis Simpson?

GreenGran78 Fri 08-Feb-19 21:07:54

I ‘m just glad that I don’t have dozens of photographers pointing their cameras at me every time I show my face anywhere. There wouldn’t be enough room on Granset for all the disparaging comments that would be generated.
It’s bad enough that the media are always ‘having a go’ at her, and implying that she, Catherine and the Queen are at daggers drawn with each other. I just wish that everyone would find something better to do with their time.
Next time I see a post mentioning celebrities I will refrain from reading it.

Anniebach Fri 08-Feb-19 20:12:02

I don’t think the navel sticking through a dress is flattering

Iam64 Fri 08-Feb-19 20:03:44

Oh my, here we go again a three page thread, largely full of comments criticising the dress sense of a young pregnant woman.
She looked fine.
Ngaiol - your comment tops the lot for me. All the young pregnant women I know where tight fitting clothes and look absolutely fine. I wore a huge tent of a frock during my first pregnancy in the 70's - looked so much less flattering than anything the young women wear now
