Royal christening pics

Thank you Sarah, I don’t like or dislike Megan, I was wary of her when I saw her poses for her engagement, so professional, she cannot be camera shy , she is the most world wise woman to marry into the Windsors

I thought Kate's hat was inspired by the 1940's and she looked so happy which is lovely. Meghan seems to have been told, even by Harry, not to hold hands all the time so taking his arm if she is not sure sure where to go or stand is her only option. I liked her dress but it was the odd one out, does it matter? Goodness knows if she really knew the "part" she was up for, her father obviously had no idea what happens to most royal in laws.

123coco I'm glad somebody said it. They are still in their honeymoon period, she has left her country friends, mother behind and is learning a new job with lots of rules (look how people pick of little things like wearing too bright a dress) and she isn't supposed to hold his arm? I think you are right - there is something else at play. Have people forgotten so quickly how difficult Diana found the early years and although Meghan is obviously older and more used to the limelight, it is still a massive change all done in the public eye.
People who actually meet her seem to like her and she has led an interesting life.

Anniebach. I agree.There is no need to use race when referring to a persons actions or choice.
Anyone who can go on a TV stage, open to the world, and seen to be removing their clothes is no shrinking violet Royal photographs must be a piece of cake in comparison.The 'dynasty '? which Meghan has entered may not be quite what she expected. Time will tell.

I agree Megan is totally diferent to Kate. Kate was 29 when she married, Megan 36 and it was her second marriage. Until her marriage Kate was not use to being photographed as is Megan. Kate went to university then lived mostly with her family. Megan lived in Canada for 7 years , as well as an actress she launched her fashion line with a company. She has addressed the UN, worked in Venezuela and studied in Spain.

I cannot see the shrinking violet that some see.

Oh Annie Seriously ? A football strip ? Or was that just because I said I didn’t like the outdated style of the photo and George’s blouse ? I mean my family always have their family photos taken in football strips propping up the bar in the local pub ! But there again we’re common .

I think I MM looked lovely . She’s very natural .

George's shirt was ok, but a little toddler-ish,

That's the point I was trying to make about George's clothes. He's five on Sunday and little boys change a lot in appearance from the toddler/kindergarten look so why dress him in clothes beneath his age? Most parents love to see their little boys look a bit more grown up on special occasions.

Totally with the MM comments, stop all the negativity. Loved the olive green dress and I thought she and Harry both looked very happy, with just a hint of nervous as you do when mixing initially with the in-laws and her BiL's in-laws. I found all those very pale colours an odd choice with small children's sticky fingers around, and didn't Camilla's hat look like one of the Queen Mother's?
George's shirt was ok, but a little toddler-ish, just an ordinary white short sleeved shirt with those shorts would have looked better. (I wonder if William ever looks back at all those awful clothes he was dressed in?)

Think back to those photos of Princess Diana and Prince Charles where they were standing apart and she looked so sad and lonely. Is that what's wanted for Harry's wife?

Well said Theoddbird!!

well I think she's lovely AND I think she looks like she is struggling terribly.

Why does everyone pick on Meghan. She is totally different in every way to Kate. Please everyone STOP comparing them. Meghan will find her way. I think she is lovely

I doubt that Sarah she looks exhausted from all the attention to me...

but you are right I think about Kates support system, it has always grounded her and given her a buffer from the stresses if Royal life IMO.

Kate comes from a loving family and this reflects on the love she shows to her own children. It was a pity Her Majesty was not on the photos of Prince Louis's christening. Was it so essential for Meghan to do her 'clutching arm' act. Could she not just for once, and as these photographs will no doubt go into the Windsor archives, detach herself from her husband's body? I do
not believe it gives her a feeling of security but creates attention and maybe this is what she craves when all eyes are on Kate.

Princess Charlotte looks so like the Queen it is uncanny.

I would be happy to see her looking happy...but she hasn't been ?

For goodness' sake, leave Meghan alone! Don't you think she has enough on her plate with that poisonous father and half siblings troubling her with their vile comments 24/7. She looks lovely, her clothes are stunning and she loves her new husband - be happy for her and him!

If you haven’t go anything good to say about Meghan Markle the dont say anything.

It is not unkind to notice if someone is looking unhappy...its usually the opposite.

The way she has been looking makes me worry for her

I know the Duchess of Sussex is used to posing for photographs but, posing as an actress must be very different from posing for official photographs as part of our very traditional and protocol driven royal family.
Before anyone shouts at me, that is not a criticism of our royal family!

I've just seen that lovely pic of Prince Louis. He reminded me of someone, at first I couldn't quite place who. Then it dawned on me, Prince Charles that's who. It's the smiling eyes, I think.

If I was at a do and standing beside my husband, I'd take his arm. What's more natural than that?

Why again has racism been brought into this? Too ask racism is the reason for not liking the colour of a dress or why the need to grip someone’s arm just for a photograph says more about the one who asks .

As for in a new country, she is still in the West , and she has never shrunk from the limelight , all the photographs on line of her posing at events with no arm to clutch .

I don’t think Duchess of Sussex is unhappy just nervous and a bit worried she’s taken on a massive responsibility and being American it’s going to take a while for her to get used to royal protocol.
I remembered when Kate first joined the royal family she always looked nervous and timid but she’s doing well now
I think her fashion sense has gone out the window a bit the hat she wore to the chrisening was something the queen mother would have worn.

He’s only four! Most little boys his age wear shorts in hot weather. I hate to see children dressed like adults. Fashion should be more or less irrelevant at that age.

Jeans would have been both unsuitable and uncomfortable. I saw a lot of young children at my brother’s birthday party at the weekend. It was in the garden and not at all formal. Not one child was wearing jeans. Boys and girls alike wore shorts and tee shirts. George was wearing the formal equivalent of a tee shirt.

Heavens above. If you haven’t go anything good to say about Meghan Markle the dont say anything. She’ s in a new country away from all her friends and thrust into the limelight and into the House of Windsor. Shes had a lot of public appointments which Saint Kate never had to do early on. Cut her some slack or is it racism Im wondering.? The comments last week about her were despicable. The Firm have already dulled her down !
