Now, that's more like it!

Give it a rest for once gillybob

For heavens sake annsixty. They’ve just got married, of course she wants to be constantly touching Harry. It’s what healthy, happy couples do, especially in the first heady days of marriage. I wish people would stop criticising every single bit of their life. Give them a break!

Who is criticising very single bit of their life? It is unusual to see a royal wife being so touchy feely so we're bound to comment on it.

Every single bit? Don't be daft.

Honestly - why so defensive of them? They are in their 30s and when they are in public ( working terribly hard for example at Ascot) they should behave appropriately (and she should get a new stylist)

I enjoyed looking at the royal outfits.

Not a fan of Meghan's hat or dress I'm afraid. The hat looked like it used liquorice sticks for decoration and the lop-sided nature of it didn't suit her (IMO) The dress was just wrong somehow. The belt and full skirt made her look rather squat and thickset, and she's neither.

Was I the only one who gasped at that first photo of her bending forward with most of her face hidden? What an uncanny resemblance to Wallace Simpson in profile! I was shocked!

One again Sophie Wessex proves she has real style and elegance. She knows what suits her.

The Queen seems to be styled by someone who used to make costumes for Coco the Clown. Perhaps she got the gig instead of Chanel? That yellow is ghastly and does not suit Her Maj. She got away with a bright outfit for the wedding but the stylist lost the plot with the Ascot coat and hat.

Sadly Beatrice and Eugenie looked frumpy and wore ill-fitting clothes and looked trussed up. They really shouldn't appear together. One sister might get away with no dress sense, in a crowd, but when they are together they do seem a strange, badly dressed pair...almost the joke royals. They really don't seem to know what suits them.

Anne looked elegant in a simple, plain outfit I thought, but Camilla needs to tone down the hats and bits of embellishment on her suits/coats.

Really, Sophie ought to be advising them all. She gets it just right, every time. Her poise, grace and style is extremely regal.

(I am glad I am not scrutinised like this when I go out, I ought to add!)

How boring would a thread of "Oh I do like what MM is wearing at Ascot" followed by pages and pages of "yes I do too" hmm

Completely agree gillybob

The way some people seem aghast is strange. Do you think Meghan is scouring the chat forums of GN tonight? Don't we use these threads so we can voice our opinions - or is there only one opinion?

Public figures always have and always will be open to scrutiny. If we cannot speak (write) our minds, what on earth is the point of joining in on Gransnet.

I am becoming sick to the back teeth of those who feel it is their duty to pour scorn on others for their opinions, as if they occupy some sort of moral high ground. Give me honest and forthright opinions every time, as long as they abide by the T&Cs of the forum.

Self-appointed censors of thread morality, be offended all you like, but I will not curb my opinions. If views are stifled because they are not the 'right' views, whether we are discussing the royals or anything else, what on earth is the point of joining in? Gransnet might as well fold now.

Mapleleaf I could not agree more. I think Meghan is doing really well. She looks lovely in everything she wears and, to me at least, our Queen seems to enjoy her company. Well done, Meghan.

Oh c'mon annsixty Have you never been just married and very much in love? Of course she wants to keep holding her husband's hand and touching him. When I first married my husband I could hardly keep my hands off him, still can't sometimes and we've been married 50 years.
