I don’t think either woman considers her SIL a rival. They have very different styles and now travel in very different circles. But the tabloids profit from telling weak-minded women that there’s a great clash between these two and they have to take a side.

I don’t care what Meghan is doing. I just don’t like this look. It’s not because I picked a side, unless you count ‘good taste’ a side. Her hair reminds me of stars wars Princess Leia and there’s something off about the dress. The look is supposed over the top fun but something is off. It looks weird.

You would be in the small minority, because the Duchess broke the internet with that iconic look.

On top of making her wait 4 years past-engagement (and she's known the young man since 2011), and stripping her of the $1.3 million dowry, the household also is refusing a crucial and highly symbolic wedding ceremony - her last official farewell to the Emperor and Empress of Japan.

Considering she is moving abroad to the United States right after her wedding, its especially cruel.

Jesus. That sounds like the worst life, being part of the Japanese royal family. Just completely controlled by the Imperial agency with no say in anything. Worse than the BRF. Run away Mako!

Wasn't it widely believed that the Imperial Agency's treatment of both Michiko and Masako drove both of them to depression, Masako so much that she was out of the public eye for 10 years?

Yes, it absolutely was. After Masako gave birth 'only' to a girl and kept trying to have more children but was struck by secondary infertility no matter what she did - she spiraled. Women can't inherit the throne in Japan, so a girl was worse than useless. The thing is - her husband stuck by her and tried to do things that made her happy - like talking with the public in less formal settings or going abroad on tours (she was a diplomat fluent in 6 languages before she married in) but the Imperial Agency refused all of his requests. They ordered her sequestered until she gave birth or else...and well - she never did.

Masako is/was so smart and brilliant and they broke her. A Harvard/Oxford graduate, linguist, diplomat, and one of only two women *out of 800 applicants* to pass the Japanese foreign exam in her class.

Masako’s sister-in-law had to step up and bear a male child when she couldn’t.

The Emperor’s brother was aware of the maneuvers to get his only niece crowned future Empress. Oh well. In other news, the IHA is doubling down on assholery.

The couple will register their marriage on Oct. 26 and will have a news conference together, the Imperial Household Agency said. They are expected to start a new life together in New York later this year.

There will be no wedding banquet and other rituals for the couple “because their marriage is not celebrated by many people,” the agency said.

Classic and casual. There’s a reason 90s fashion is coming back into style…

King?

I like the dress but the hair is totally Princess Leia. Hey, she wasn’t twirling her fingers in her hair, so that’s an improvement.

Cute! I wonder if fans sent her the sweatshirts?

Can’t speak for the Virgin Atlantic sweater, but Diana picked up the Norhwestern sweater when she visited the school and the Harvard sweater when in Boston.

That’s one of the saddest things I have ever heard. I will think of them on 10/26 because they deserve celebration. All they have gone through!

A great example of how a plus size dress can be very simple. I hate that some many plus size bridal gowns are maximalist in the name of disguising the bride’s body.
