I can't understand why some almost cheer that Meghan markle is now a Royal and she is going to change up the "stuffy" traditional Royal family to a modern one. It's tradition. It's not her job or say so to change it up. I wonder who people think she is???? Oh, she's an actress, former actress. Oops, I forgot!


But it’s ok to bush her. By the way she is a duchess and the future mother to QE grandchild. And about “emotional connection»

look like they love each other and happy so it’s all that counts.

Re: Kate and Meghan at Armistice Day Service

This is Meghan's first Remembrance Day as a British royal and I see nothing wrong with her outfit, makeup, hair, or her deportment.

The photo shows how Kate has aged IMO.  She has aged well and is very pretty, but has definitely aged (see esp. around her eyes).  We had a different recent discussion about this on another thread - I'm just saying the close-up photo really points it out.


since she has an infant at home, i think it is quite likely some days she is up in the middle of the night as i understand she is quite the hands-on mother.  this wreaks havoc on one's face - until rest restored.  have mercy.

What. in havens name has Meghan Markle done to cause such nasty comments? She and Harry appear to be in love and are expeting their first child. Meghan doesn't need to take advice from QVC shoppers on her makeup and attire. From everything that I have read about The Duchess she gets along very well with Prince Charles, Camilla, and the Queen. I am sure that his family is thrilled that Harry has found someone who makes him happy. I still just can't understand why some people disllike her so much. It's a mystery to me.

You know why she has aged?  She is older.  Also, she doesn't dress to look like a 20 year old.  I think she is an intelligent woman with style and grace, and it shows!  To me, she is an excellent role model for young women.  Someone who has a role to play in life and wants to do it well and make a contribution to others.  

 

I wish we had more females comfortable with being middle aged and not worried about looking "young" but worried about what they have to give.   And yes, your 40s 50s an early 60s are middle aged.   Middle age seems to have gotten lost somewhere.

I agree with the first paragraph that Kate is a true Brit and it would be rather difficult for someone to step in and appreciate and understand the traditions.  I do think she had on too much blush, and I do think the hand holding thing is getting to the point of being silly.

 

I also think maybe a few dislike her and some are simply jealous of anyone with a lot of money or in the public eye, and so it goes.  I think most people here are simply giving opinions about someone in the public eye, and those opinions come with the territority.

 

If you don't want people talking about you, don't be on tv and don't be in the news.  You can't have it both ways.

@sensibleshoppingsoothes  I know how old the Queen is.  My previous mark was meant to be facetious, hence the smilie emoticon.

@Sooner  Of course I know why she has aged; she is older.  D'uh.

Nevertheless, I commented about it.

Re: Kate and Meghan at Armistice Day Service

For heaven's sake, this is a fashion forum.  We comment about clothing. (as well as hair and make-up)

 

It's perfectly fine to mention (what some perceive to be) bags under eyes and aging.  If however you think someone's clothes are ill-fitting, or you do not care for her hair and/or make-up, you are jealous.

 

Seriously?
