Post some new pics of Kate then.

Megan and Kate don’t exist in a vacuum where we have to pit them against each other. C’mon PP, let’s do better! They are all beautiful women who have some hits and misses.

DP. It's Kate's worshippers who don't want to see Meghan's face, as the "Meg-stan" pp just proved without a doubt. Methinks the person posting all the Meghan pictures is trolling them.

Meghan isn't royal and isn't even attending royal events. She's just another LA wanna be influencer.

Meow. Meghan married a royal, which makes her a lot more adjacent than the Spencer sisters.

But with no HRH who cares? They have stepped back from the family. Quite deliberately.

People care because they post here and there is nothing you can do about it. She is part of the royal family. Harry can't change is parentage.

It's sad people desperately want to see her included with these racist white colonizers. There's some deep seated self hatred going on here. But, you do you.

It isn't desperation--it is a fact. She is part of the royal family.

Sure she is. Which is why we never see her with anyone else or at any official events.

No everyone hangs around their family. And going to official events isn't the definition of family. We can go back and forth all day on this if you want.

We can but you'd still be wrong. They are living the LA life and dream, not a royal or British one by any stretch.

While being related to and therefore being in the royal family. If you want to start a thread of fashions of "working members of the royal family" do so but the third cousins and Spencer's and 'em wouldn't be allowed to be included, nor the Middletons.

+1. I don't recall the Kate worshipper being outraged when somebody included the Spencer twins and Carole Middleton in this thread.

Also, Wimbledon is only "royal work" for the person who hands out the trophies, which has been Kate in the past (leaving aside the definition of "work"). Anybody else who shows up, including the Spencer twins and the Middletons, aren't there for royal duties of any kind, they're just there for the fun.

At least they are recent pics. Desperate to be included in this conversation by posting photos from 6 years ago is deeply pathetic. For any of them. If someone rolled in with Fergie's best look from 1988 it would be odd too.

Somebody posted a picture of Meghan in a white evening outfit from this week. Is that not good enough? You need to stop letting Meghan live rent-free in your head.

That was one out of like 10. But thankfully someone posted something recent instead of proving the point that she's no longer royal by posting only pics of the brief time that she was. A long time ago.

And next time someone posts pics of the Spencer twins or Zara that are more than a few days old, we'll expect you to chime in with the same gripes about them not being working royals. Because this couldn't just be a Meghan thing, could it?

It's a thing for the "BRF" Fashion and Megan is neither British or Royal these days and old pics are hardly fashionable. How about just stay on topic?

+1 exactly.

Yes, that is the point!! No one can tell anyone else what not to post. Thank you for understanding that the pics are too old or Megan really isn't royal so don't post her demands are to be ignored.

I guess that's the best Meghan has. Sad she has nothing to show for the last few years.

You have yet to explain why your head didn't explode over the pics of the Spencer twins or Zara. Or even of Diana or Fergie, both of whom divorced but lost their HRHs, yet I'm sure you'd welcome old Diana pics here.

Were you the one who posted 06/28/2024 17:14 of Pippa at Wimbledon five years ago? Or 06/28/2024 17:14 of Pippa in 2017? Were you the one who posted Lady Amelia Windsor from 2022 at 07/12/2024 18:39?

Or were you outraged somebody else did?

Seems like you've got a pretty obvious double standard.

Sooo desperate to be included here. Look at Meghan in 2015 before she was royal! See she counts. You're so upset in here that you've spammed this thread with every Meghan look you can find in the past 9 years, no matter how off the rack the look is.

She looked pretty darn great in that white evening gown last week. But you're obviously blinded to anything positive about Meghan.

I've said nothing negative at all. Just questioned the relevancy of using old looks for a current non royal just to participate. I'm sure Meghan is deserving of her very own thread to talk about her fashion which is decidedly west coast in recent years. Why lump her in with these pasty matronly women who prefer coat dresses anyway?

When you are actually included, no desperation needed. For example, I am a true, actual resident of Maryland, therefore I would never be desperate to be in Maryland-I am already in. Megan is already in. She's married to the son of the King of England. No desperation. So more pics!

Because the same shrews who don't want their eyeballs burnt by pictures of Meghan here would show up on a Meghan-only thread with horrible accusations and innuendo. We've all seen it before and the moderator ends up deleting the thread.

Let everyone post the pics they want so we all can enjoy them. Keep the personal attacks out of it. The thread was great before the arrows started flying.
