Jeans at Wimbledon

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.

She turned up with Harry at a sports event when they first knew each other in ripped jeans, but that was in America.
She knows perfectly well what the dress code is for Wimbledon; just Desperately Trying To Be Different from the Duchess of Cambridge and establishing herself as a Private Citizen (subject actually).
She won't win, because DoC isn't playing.

Why on earth would their staff be checking out Gransnet?! Even if there were I’m sure they really don’t give 2 hoots what we’re saying about any of the RF - it’s a free country confused

Someone in the media has got it in for the Duchess of Sussex, I am beginning to sympathise with her and the Duke.

I should imagine that their office staff do discretely check out websites where they are being discussed, I can only hope they never pass on any Gransnett threads to them.

I was surprised. But she looked ok.

Can you tell I don't care?

My DD went to Wimbledon in jeans.

Kate would have security but there were no empty seats

This is not bashing Megan, it is not what we expect at Wimbledon .

Court 1, Serena Williams playing !

Another let’s bash Megan bitchfest. I bet Kate had security around her.

Iam64 Wed 10-Jul-19 13:55:45

Yet another Thread where Meghan gets it in the neck. If I was in charge of her security I’d be cautious if grannies can be so unpleasant ?

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 13:50:57

Like these Ellan ?

Not sure how much of it is true, Annie but there are reports online.

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 13:44:06

If there were concerns for her safety she should have been stopped from sitting there, not the public stopped , those tickets cost a whack

EllanVannin Wed 10-Jul-19 13:44:01

Nothing wrong in the way she's dressed, jeans or not. At least they're not those vile ripped ones that all the sheep wear.

Pantglas1 Wed 10-Jul-19 13:43:02

I remember Princess Diana watching the tennis with her mother without any fuss .....

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 13:40:52

Merlot, surely not ? No seats were kept empty for Kate

Baggs Wed 10-Jul-19 13:40:41

Thanks, merlot.

Given how much shit has, bafflingly, been directed at Meghan, one can hardly blame her security detail for being extra careful if that's what it was all about.

merlotgran Wed 10-Jul-19 13:39:08

Why is she treated differently from other members of the royal family though? Kate sat in an outside court with friends without any hoo-ha.

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 13:38:40

Stay out of the rows around where she was sitting in Court 1,
if it’s true then shame on Wimbledon.

Last week Kate sat with the crowd in Court 14

Baggs Wed 10-Jul-19 13:38:34

In the photo I saw there were people sitting directly behind Meghan. Body guards?

Again, not her fault.

Gonegirl Wed 10-Jul-19 13:38:25

Bet she's had loads of work done merlot.

Yes, I know. Meow.

merlotgran Wed 10-Jul-19 13:37:27

Apparently they had to form a queue to go in once they were allowed, Baggs. Not sure how much of that is true though.

Baggs Wed 10-Jul-19 13:37:06

If it's what anniebach intimates, that people were kept away from Meghan because she is Meghan, that's hardly her fault.

merlotgran Wed 10-Jul-19 13:36:29

Her security detail wanted forty seats left empty around her, Annie

She looked like Billy No Mates.

Baggs Wed 10-Jul-19 13:35:35

how she managed to get 40 people who had VIP tickets to stay out

???? Could someone explain this, please? Stay out of what? etc, etc.

Anniebach Wed 10-Jul-19 13:34:01

I just checked, Court 1, but as Serena was playing how come so many empty seats where Megan was sitting.

I hope it isn’t true that the seats were kept empty because she was sitting there
