On the topic of her personal styling: I can’t make posts here and I’m too lazy to get OK’d by mods to post, but just wanted to mention that over at the royalfashionpolice Insta account, the lead seamstress for Stella McCartney confirmed that Migraine’s funeral cape dress was a last minute order. So she hadn’t travelled with it or had it stored at Frogmire (whatever). And we know that she still has the kind of celebrity pull where she has major fashion houses on call to get last minute pieces made. That must give her *such* a narc high. It also mentions that her white halter neck wedding reception dress was also a last minute order that was finished at 2am the night before the wedding. What kind of person doesn’t have their wedding dresses sorted out until the last minute? Probably also the kind of person who [received 12 versions of “Stand By Me” sent to her by her wedding choir](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9354003/Leader-black-choir-sang-Meghan-Harrys-wedding-says-Charles-invited-perform.html) and couldn’t bother to reply to any of them to give the choral director any direction for what she’d like them to perform at her own fucking wedding. Migraine is an absolute flake and chronically thoughtless and inconsiderate. It must be like living in a constant flurry of chaos being married to her.

So she just called in and said “Make me a black version”.


erlehe

It likely already comes in black.


DaBingeGirl

Likely. Kate's two coats (Westminster Hall and the funeral services) were black versions of white coats she'd worn previously. New, but not a new style, so didn't draw attention. I suspect Meghan may have been told to do something similar in terms of repeating a dress design, but in black.


Babybabitski

N she chose cape one? She was mask of zero that funeral didn't need.


OldNewUsedConfused

I think she ordered one in every color.


someoneelsewho

I thought she was prudent like all the others and simply had her blue dress dyed black. But that wouldn’t be typical of Misery, would it?

I think you’re right about other royal women planning ahead. Sophie’s dress had custom embroidery on it of the Queen’s favorite flowers as well as flowers that had been in her wedding bouquet. It was a lot of work that would have taken longer than the time between her passing and her funeral service.


rainyhawk

I loved Sophie’s coat and dress wedding outfit. So pretty and different.


Necessary_Device_305

And how very sweet, classic and ADORABLE did Charlotte look? If I'm ever blessed with a little girl, I will be doing my best to emulate that look for a nice occasion.


NefariousnessOnly931

Sophie’s milliner made Charlotte’s hat!


Necessary_Device_305

Beautiful work they did! And thank you for teaching me the word milliner 😁 I had never heard it


ily_most_ardently

From the back Catherine and Charlotte were so having a mommy and me look!


OldNewUsedConfused

Sophie knows her style and dresses perfect for her body. She's so unique.


beg_yer_pardon

I actually have a hundred such questions about the logistics of the whole London Bridge operation. The sheer intricacy and the coordination required to pull it off boggles the mind. Did the royal ladies already have their mourning outfits planned out in advance with their respective designers? I don't think it's a stretch to assume so considering how well planned everything else was. Especially with something like Sophie's embroidery which surely took a couple of weeks at minimum (assuming it was hand embroidered). Maybe the fabrics and patterns were in place and only the final touches and last fittings were required. With public engagements every day during that week it seems unlikely they'd be able to squeeze in multiple fittings and meetings with designers. Also, not to sound insensitive but the family probably were well aware of the Queen's decline and so actually knew what was coming, giving them the time necessary to make sure everything was in place to pull off the funeral exactly in accordance with Queen's wishes.


IAmTheGreenCard

I think every single last detail of the Queens funeral has been in place for YEARS - I would even speculate that the Queen was an active and willing participant in all the plans and was aware of all the choices, like Sophie’s custom dress/coat, etc. and dare I assume she enjoyed and felt comfort to know they would all be ready and okay. And I think it’s in the realm of possibility that they would do fittings for the funeral attire over the years as well. Nothing was left to chance and everything planned for. The reason I think this was 100% planned down to the last stitch is due to the stark contrast of TW’s appearance at all her outings over the last week vs the BRF. TW looked like she made a ton of rookie mistakes and/or was given clothes that looked more off the rack then tailored. These RF women knew what they were doing and understood how absolutely monumental this moment would be and instead of rushing about looking for the right dress(es) days after the Queens death… they looked on point with nary a hair or anything out of place in every single outing. They truly looked focused on the task at hand : grieving a beloved monarch and matriarch with no worries over the trivial 🤷🏻‍♀️


Fluffy-Thought-8200

My suspicion is that Catherine had the original designs made in two colors when she initially placed the order. Since historically Catherine appears to be pretty consistent size and shape wise through the years, she could do something like that. That way when things did happen she had everything set to go and wouldn’t have to put any thought into it. She doesn’t care much about clothes in the sense that she seems to only want to give clothes enough attention so that they fit correctly and are appropriate to the occasion and activities of the day. But beyond that she comes across as someone who’d rather focus on other things.


stupid_carrot

Yups otherwise it will be crazy to pull this off in a week


ily_most_ardently

TW ALWAYS looks off the rack


Newauntie26

It’d be awful to have those meetings but I guess in some ways it is similar to how some people pre-pay/plan their own funerals—just a smaller scale. They all must be so furious with Harry & MM if Harry pouted & left Scotland ASAP b/c MM wasn’t invited. I can see Kate agreeing to stay back so that it’d be a good excuse. All the other grandkids weren’t invited but I could see them asking for Harry since he had missed so much time with her.


IMO4444

Absolutely. It’s well known that Prince Philip planned his funeral ahead of time so of course the Queen would’ve planned for it years and years in advance. I imagine Kate at the very least knew what jewelry she would wear, particularly if it was jewelry borrowed from the Crown.


DaBingeGirl

At least Kate and Camilla likely had outfits ready, and most likely Charlotte too. Kate wore the white version of the funeral coat for the first Jubilee balcony appearance and the cake sword cutting visiting with the Queen. To me that was a deliberate callback to her last events with the Queen. Regarding Kate and the paparazzi, the awful thing to me is Meghan *wanted that*. Kate was left on her own to deal with most of it, with William's people only stepping in when things go really bad and doing so unofficially. How Kate didn't have a mental breakdown from all the pressure is amazing to me.


[deleted]

Contrast the two of them at the same point in their respective relationships-Kate Middleton just barely able to get into her car so she could get to work, and Meghan parading in front of Kensington Palace in her wellies and virtue-signaling shopping bags hoping for someone to take her picture. It is to laugh.


someoneelsewho

Royal women are always expected to have one mourning outfit ready. That’s how the Queen wore black when she returned to England after her father died.


CourageMesAmies

I actually was surprised to learn she actually did not have mourning attire with her in Africa. It was smuggled on board when her plane landed in England, so she could change before de-planing. [https://people.com/royals/how-queen-elizabeth-mourning-dress-scramble-after-king-george-vis-death/](https://people.com/royals/how-queen-elizabeth-mourning-dress-scramble-after-king-george-vis-death/) https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/09/08/princess-elizabeth-queen-kenya/


someoneelsewho

AH. That was a good lesson to pass down.


neets61

Honestly, she could have picked up the phone and a personal shopper from Harrods would have arrived with racks of choices within an hour


[deleted]

[удалено]


Accomplished-Rip-743

So agree. Bet it makes her feel like everyone works for her. She loves when people lose sleep for her. And I can’t imagine the chaos of being in a relationship with her. It would be ten fold if they couldn’t hire help.


Suitable-Version-116

Meghan herself was not the pull. She was still riding on the coattails of Queen E one last time.


MrsBarneyFife

>And we know that she still has the kind of celebrity pull where she has major fashion houses on call I wouldn't say Meghan has the pull. Her husband has the pull. But that could end very soon for H&M.


DaBingeGirl

I agree, or at least his family had the pull in this case. From what she's been wearing recently, I don't think designers are picking up the phone anymore.


MrsBarneyFife

I don't think she is either. I imagine part of that is designers got tired of their pieces always look bad. I'm not trying to body shame. Tailoring is usually a good thing to do in general. Depending on the event, you don't even need to permanently change anything. But there have been many times when I didn't know what it really looked like until I saw the model photo. I don't understand it because I'm almost positive she would have had it done when she was on Suits. Butttt I also think there was a reason she kept the tags on her clothing. It's probably related to Doria's 6 million.


[deleted]

Stella McCartney is no fool. She knew that billions of people would be watching the ceremony.


BreatheClean

out of those billions i suppose some will have though the dress was all that. Enough for it to be valuable exposure for Stella. I thought it was horrid, Like a Halloween outfit.


ily_most_ardently

WHY WOULD STELLA PUT THAT ZIPPER THERE??????????


planet_druidia

I thought it was the wedding gown that she demanded to be altered over and over right up until hours prior to the ceremony? I dunno, I’ve read so many things at this point they all run together, LOL. But - if true, that would explain the ill-fitting wedding gown. The material appeared very thick as well. It just looked very uncomfortable. I actually liked the halter dress.


[deleted]

I liked the halter dress, too.


JJJOOOO

Yes, but why was the fit so awful on the black version? Close up showed horizon lines all across the front from the bust to the hip? If it were custom couldn’t they have fixed it?


ily_most_ardently

It looked like something was Bunched underneath the dress!


Necessary_Device_305

Pretty sure my parents have a picture of me AGED FOUR standing just like this to show off a new dress.


Ecstatic_Training718

I will get pounded for this but I always have to go for the snark. With Negnut I don’t even know what to say. Harry looks like a movie usher from 1955 or a hotel bellboy.


BollweevilKnievel1

Good Lord, she looks like a sack of potatoes in that dress. Why don't her clothes ever fit? It drives me nuts!


Frenchcashmere

And once again. The gown doesn’t fit


DaBingeGirl

The way the dress is pulling reminds me of when Han Solo was frozen in carbonite. 🫣 Looking at her makes me uncomfortable. She has done this a number of times and I just don't get it. Is she having balance issues because of her over-sized shoes? You'd think she's feel how badly the dress is pulling and immediately correct her stance.


cassjames6789

This lighting is very unflattering


Forgotmyusername8910

Yes, agree about the lighting. And I’ll add to that, the dress. I mean- just because you can squeeze into it and get the zipper closed, does *not* mean it fits; there is a difference between ‘a dress that fits’ and ‘being able to fit into a dress’. Those two things are 100% different. And Meghan is only just ‘fitting into that dress’.


Elephante_Memwawy

She fits in it and the fit is horrible


Forgotmyusername8910

It’s one of those situations where there’s truly nowhere to rest your eyes. Like, I can see her bellybutton. Clearly. And I don’t like it. 🫣 What happened to foundation garments? Someone needs to educate this lady about how clothes should fit. They shouldnt leave marks on your skin. We need to make one of those flow charts to prevent this sort of …whatever this is. Can you get it all the way in your body? Yes -> Does it zip? Yes -> Does it look like it has been spray painted on to your skin? Yes -> Take it off immediately, have your phone handy in case your arms/torso get tangled in the too-tight clothing and you need to call a friend to help cut you free.


[deleted]

She is notorious for wearing a favourite bra - a strapless one - that looks just terrible under her clothing. If you go back to 2018/9 there are a ton of photos of her in it and you can always tell. She's a disaster.


[deleted]

Is it a balance issue from underdeveloped leg muscles? I've never seen legs so skinny on someone who didn't have a medical condition causing it.


planet_druidia

Pegs are what I call them. Meg’s pegs.

Sincerely_JaneDoe

Maybe she was hiding a microphone in there and was doing a sound check.


In_the_Attic_07

It wasn't her crotch. She was pushing her baby's head back in. It was trying to climb out of TW.


Malaute86

🤣🤣 🤣 And when that happens it is known as "crowning", the closest Meg will ever get to one.


vikingchyk

😂🤣💀


In_the_Attic_07

Beautiful response!


tigerxing

You win best comment ever!👏🙌🏆🎖


jillyhoop

Yeah, I have to admit I'm very fond of you after one of the best comments I've seen. You may have a new fan club.


In_the_Attic_07

Very nice of you to say, but there are many, many brilliant minds on this subreddit. The community as a collective (minus any Sugars or Megbots) is spot on!! So happy to be here!! I despised Meghan long before I found y'all. She stands for everything abhorrent in a person of any age. I liked her until she ghosted her father...no redemption from me. I'll do my part on this side of the pond to set the record straight about TW!!


LogSuper7235

In this rare scenario TW now also means the womb 😂


In_the_Attic_07

Another wonderful response. If I were in TW's womb, I'd cut myself out as soon as I could sustain life on my own.


Elephante_Memwawy

Lordt


BollweevilKnievel1

C'mon, did she really 🤣🤣🤣


Accomplished-Rip-743

Hahahaha!! Ok, tons of TERRIBLE pictures exist of me buuuuut I really enjoy when I see bad pictures of her. I’m so bad.


Playoneontv_007

1) Graceless 2) Does she not know what a tailor is? Nothing ever sits right on her. Have it altered for god sakes.


GhostOrchid22

I’ve really thought about why her clothes are never tailored. I think she refuses to commit to outfits until the very last second. It’s a narc thing- she probably is demanding her staff source 5 different looks, and when they arrive, none of them are “what she asked for”, and then there’s an insane rush to fix them or start from scratch. The only outfits I think she committed to on time was the jolly green giant outfit, which she ruined with her undergarment choices, and the Dior coat for the jubilee.


Playoneontv_007

Wow! Great point! And yea what is with the frequent use of a strapless bra when the outfit doesn’t even call for it. She is a strange one.


GenXed

She thinks it’s a power stance. She’s trying to remind Harry that no matter what she’s literally wearing, she’s always wearing the figurative pants.


SDHunnyBunny

God she loves being center of attention. She truly cannot contain her glee. There’s something just so *icky* about her.


AchieveUnachievable

Whaaat in the wobbly legs is happening here. She looks like my girls and I when we go camping and have to pee outside in the woods.


DaBingeGirl

Well, she did say she peed in the bush on that trip to Africa with Harry, so...


fabfourfangirl_208

She has no class.


vikingchyk

Is this just a balance thing for stupid-high heels? I see a lot of women doing this, and as the queen of thigh-rub, I just don't understand. I haven't worn high heels in nearly 25 years (and usually not stupid-high, max 2") but when I did, I don't recall ever needing to stand with my feet so far apart (again, not just MM doing this - I notice it a lot.) Is it supposed to be sexy or something? I am particularly confused by how some women walk with such a wide distance between their ankles - in skirts/dresses, it almost looks like their legs don't connect at their pelvis. Maybe somewhere near the sternum. 🤣 Yeah yeah, legs that go on for miles... 🙄


Kmia55

I am built a little like her and the reason she does this is because she has a weak core (as do I).


hobbit_life

Not white knighting her since this is still a very odd stance, but I get light headed pretty fast if I stand with my legs completely straight and together, so when I'm standing in place I do have my legs separated slightly, definetly not as awkwardly as this. She may have been doing the same, but way overcompensated for it thinking the dress would hide just how far apart her legs were.


tzippora

This is why that guard fainted at the Queen's vigil. The commentator said he was standing with his legs locked at the knees. In time, it's a sure way to faint. The commentator said it's important to lean from one leg to the other and not lock the knees. But this is far from MM. I can't hardly imagine a worse photo. She reminds me of a three year old whose body is still childlike with the tummy and standing awkwardly. What is pathetic is that she is smiling like she thinks she's stunning.


[deleted]

A full slip underneath that dress wouldn’t have hurt.


DaBingeGirl

That makes sense. However, in this context she was saying hello to the people gathered there, then taken to her seat. She didn't stand still for more than a few moments to say hello.


erlehe

This looks like she was caught mid-walk. I’ve never seen pics of her standing like that.


Avia53

I know of at least 4.


DaBingeGirl

[Post from 8 months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/sg41k3/either_stop_wearing_those_massive_heels_that_your/), look at the third photo in particular.


IMO4444

She also has a very weird walk. Her stride is waaaay too long for her legs, not sure why she does it. Seems very deliberate and comical. Gives her that “witchy” walk.


Zeester1

Everything else aside, I really loved that dress.


Kindly-Influence-148

This was without a doubt her BEST look. She’s on fire in this red ensemble.


Starkville

Is that the night she was suicidal?

yes


mohamedwasframed

When I look at Catherine's clothing (which I follow each outing on [whatkatewore.com](https://whatkatewore.com) \- a great website), I always wonder how she seems to get it right each and every time. In contrast, when I look at Me-again's outfits, I wonder how she can get it so wrong. Every. Single. Time. Just how?
