I'm not a fan (just not one of the DCUM Kate stans, which in their crazy worldview makes me a MM fan, I guess), but I could not possibly care less about what she spends on clothes. I don't get why MM's detractors care, either, and I think the fact they make such a fuss about it makes them look like even weirder people than they are.

I also doubt she is paying full retail. But even if she was paying more than full retail, I honestly do not see why people care about her budget.

She isn't. The Queen of Jordan publicly came out in January 2019 and said royals like herself borrow and/or are given heavily discounted high-end merchandise. Makes sense since they're walking billboards.



“The focus on clothing and spending wives of leaders in many countries and accusing them of wastefulness — whether right or wrong — is not new and has been exploited as a historical political tool,” the post read.

“Today, we see some in Jordan adopting this approach to portray Her Majesty the Queen as far from reality, far from the truth,” the statement continued. “So they may reject this clarification and question it in principle in an effort to build a false public opinion.

“We realise that this explanation may be out of the ordinary, but in the absence of facts, rumours and false information are spreading and the wrong impressions accumulate, so we put these details in your hands.”

“Some may deplore the fact that a person of Her Majesty’s status accepts the principle of ‘borrowing’ but we do not advertise or promote fashion on any of Her Majesty’s pages on social networking platforms, unless the designs are Jordanian.”

Kate re-wears lots of clothes. Especially throughout her pregnancies she will wear coats and dresses from her prior pregnancies. I assume Megan will do the same thing. This particular pregnancy she will spend a lot but it will tapper down significantly for the next pregnancy.

Meghan visits her new patronage, SmartWorks, an organization to help unemployed women with interview clothing and skills. Tone-deaf MM shows up wearing an Oscar de la Renta coat and accessories costing nearly $4000.

so obnoxious

And if she hadn't dressed nicely you and Will's proxy whisperers in the press would be complaining about how insulting it was that she didn't dress nicely.

MM could rewear an outfit, especially a coat, every now and then, you know. High street fashion (mass market brands from a store like Macy's) don't cost a fortune and would have been more appropriate in this instance. It doesn't take a lot of money to dress well, look nice and know your audience.

I repeat, she is tone-deaf. Especially since the British public is critical of her extravagant clothing choices.

There is literally nothing she could wear that you would not criticize her for.

Did you even read my post? Re-wearing a coat for this occasion would have been appropriate. Wearing a store brand/mass market brand would have worked. No, she wants to always promote some new brand. So obnoxious, as some other PP wrote.

I read your post, but let's be honest. You would have criticized her if she'd reworn a coat as well. Don't pretend she could ever do anything you would be positive about.

OMG -- I shop at TJMaxx and Target. I would LOVE for MM to show frugality in her clothing choices for more than one or two occasions. THAT would impress me.

Yes, I AM happy! She looks beautiful. And yes, I am the TJMaxx/Target shopper.

Whoever posted the white maternity dress must not have seen the later pix. It was riding up and folding on itself, even above the chest. She looks a mess, especially her hair, although it looks OK when she pulls it back tightly, with no "tendrils."

So how do all of the MM fans feel about her astronomical clothing costs compared to Kate’s? There’s no denying the price of clothing so....

That's how maternity clothes fit these days. That's how they fit Kate, that's how they fit me.

She doesn’t even need to cup, considering the maternity clothes she chooses. They do all the cupping for her. Tacky.

A) It’s a benefit gala for Prince Harry’s patronage and foundation - Sentebale.

B) Harry and Meghan did a similar benefit gala in August 2018 where they raised 300,000 pounds (roughly $650,000) in a single night for the same foundation.

LOL The press leaker must be fuming. They keep sniping with whispers from sources and Meghan shows them up by doing what she does best - interacting with the people.

Well, she is known for pulling her coats aside and cupping her belly when the press is there. The latest faux pas is wearing a full length evening gown to Cirque du Soleil?And the cuppinghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190116/7eedf325a765b0d2eeb1f789ce4dbdad.jpg

What evidence do you have of the bolded? Or are you just assuming that they would not want a biracial family member? Why do you think that?

Other than one extended relative, I haven't seen any indication that they have a problem with her being biracial.

I think it is called projection. The Queen would not have handed off two of her patronages - National Theatre and Association of Commonwealth Universities, and especially not one a long-standing and prestigious as the NT - if she didn't value Meghan.

Don’t forget the Correspondence College of Tampa!
