They are called freckles. Her childhood photos show those same age spots, as you like to call them.


This happens to everyone who has freckles. Everybody likes them and thinks they're cute when you're a kid, but you get to be over 35 or so and everyone starts referring to the very same marks on your face and body as age spots. It's crazy!


Another biracial black woman with freckles here. I used to dislike them, but I’ve grown to accept them. I get ‘em from my (black) mama.

both dresses were gorgeous. meghan's perhaps could have used a bit more of a bling factor, and kate's made her look like she had pointy cone boobs, but they were both gorgeous.

Kate's dress made a young woman look matronly. Whereas, Meghan's dress made a mature woman look young, fresh, and fashionable.


I would say completely the opposite.

No! She definitely looks at least 30


For WOC, this is what 36 looks like. Melanin does wonders.

Ha. Camilla had been sampling the Prince's wares while she was still married to her first husband and Charles' was married to Diana. Or so I've heard.

Diana's dress was gorgeous at the time and absolutely perfect on her but looking at it now, it is really quite dated.

I think both Kate's and Meghan's dresses are more classic looks that will stand up to the test of time.


I always thought that Diana's dress needed a good ironing.


The designers have talked about that.

The dress was perfectly pressed when she put it on but they forgot to account for loading all of that fabric into the carriage. It was a lesson learned for royal wedding dresses.

You mean the Episcopal bishop?


I loved him. He added the joy of God, and not just respect for God, to the ceremony. He certainly had a bit of Baptist gospel preacher about him, which reminded me of the influence Billy Graham had on Queen Elizabeth. Not the gospel preacher aspect, but of the low church disintermediated relationship with God and Jesus. And I say this as a Catholic, where intermediation reigns!



I fast-forwarded through all of the religious crap. Yawn.


Holy Matrimony is first and foremost a religious sacrament.

I am very happy Meghan choose a sleek, unadorned, style. It suits her perfectly. That's what I thought she should wear.

However! It does not seem to be properly fitted - perhaps she lost a little weight. The heavy fabric doesn't sit that well on her small frame - I would have gone with a lighter silk, perhaps weighing the ends. I am also not fond of the clash of different whites (shoes, dress and veil). I also wish she had not chosen such a delicate veil, or had a veil at all, because it is not in keeping with the dress.

But overall, a much better choice, for her, than anything with lace or ruffles.



Agree with this too. She should have gone with a lighter silk like a silk taffeta.

I agree with all of this

I LOVED Meghan's veil combined with the simplicity of the dress.

However, i did not like the cut of Meghan's bodice. I thought that while mature and demure, it actually looked old and frumpy. The cut of the neckline and fit of the upper bodice were not quite right. It looked like something a Duggar girl would choose for one of their weddings.

I was disappointed in that part of the dress but thought everything else about it (essentially rib cage down and veil) were beautiful and perfect.
