I see in the paper that Meghan is being criticised for wearing jeans when she went to watch Serena Williams playing tennis on Centre Court. Apparently such daring is a definite no-no.

I wonder if anyone told her beforehand.

In the photograph I saw I think she looks smarter than the people sitting beside her.

I do blame her for having no consideration for those who had to wait for seats.

Please tell me how you know Meghan had no consideration for those who had to wait for seats.

Dare to be different ... High five to that!

Because she looked relaxed and comfortable as she chatted to her two friends. That certainly didn’t show concern . The
Windsors do not behave this way.

Not a bitchfest ? Do me a favour - she wore casual clothes shock! Crime! Kate wore a dress ! - implication Kate is so much nicer/ more regal. She must have pushed other people out of their seats. ( evidence? ) my son used to work for a company who always had seats in the big courts - sometimes they were empty but they paid a fortune for them a whole block- how do you know she wasn’t given a corporate seat? Kate sat demurely at Court 14 - how do you know what events Meghan attends unless you are in charge of her diary? I bet you’ll see Kate at one of the big centre court matches sometime soon, and I bet she sometimes wears casual clothes at some events when she isn’t on an engagement. Will the knives be out for her then I wonder?

Unless she wore the jeans over her face I shouldn't imagine it affected her watching the tennis.
Perhaps a nice crimplene pleated skirt might have been more the ticket.

Is it possible Meghan was seated in the Members Enclosure?

Apparently the Members Enclosure often has spare seats.

Baggs yes, I believe you are your right.
It is the dyeing process and the multiple rinsing which is the problem not the actual cotton material.

Nothing wrong with wearing jeans, she was in Court 1.

Crimplene skirt was uncalled for .

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 17:59:02

Kate will be in centre court in the royal box, she is patron of
Wimbledon, passed to her by the queen

crystaltipps Wed 10-Jul-19 18:10:29

Well that’s all right then. Let’s hope Megan is given a seat at centre court too.

They seem to be getting on just fine at a polo match.

MissA grin

Just before taking her seat Meghan had probably just fed and burped Archie.

Then Archie probably did
what babies the World over do when mum is about out, or in Meghans case catch the start of her friends match.....

'Puke' all over Mum

Not wanting to upset her friend,
Meghan just grabbed her spare Jeans and ran.
Thinking if no one is allowed
to takes photos,
Mil or Sil will never know.

Megan sat in the royal box last year, no empty seats ordered

crystaltipps Wed 10-Jul-19 18:32:57

What evidence do you have that she, personally, “ordered” extra seats? That she was smiling?

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 18:38:39

Has anyone said she ordered extra seats ?

crystaltipps Wed 10-Jul-19 18:41:50

You implied it was because she was there people with tickets were denied seats.

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 18:43:41

I did not,

Lessismore Wed 10-Jul-19 18:49:45

I'm going to put my fingers in my ears and say Megan is cool 3 times.

SirChenjin Wed 10-Jul-19 19:00:31

Good job you can’t hear the responses to that grin

Iam64 Wed 10-Jul-19 19:40:58

Lessismore - I'm keeping my fingers out my ears and I'll chant along with you, Megan is cool Megan is cool Megan is cool AND Harry loves her, hurrah for both of them and their baby Archie x

Baggs Wed 10-Jul-19 19:45:48

I'm loving the humorous posts responding to the absurd ??

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 19:49:16

This is so like ‘the Diana Years ‘. ?

Lessismore Wed 10-Jul-19 19:51:26

Blimey, Iam, yours is more like a song.

SirChenjin Wed 10-Jul-19 19:57:32

Elton John could probably put that to music Iam grin

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 19:58:29

Is there an American rose ?
