Now, that's more like it!

Nope, she won't Mapleleaf. I find it very distasteful to be quite so personally unpleasant about any young woman, particularly one who so far as I can see, hasn't harmed anyone and is doing her best in her new role.

I love the outfit but still find it looks a little big on her. Is she pregnant I wonder?

Leave the girl be. I wonder how all of you who make disparaging remarks turn out on special occasions - perfect no doubt!!!!!

Meghan is petite, with a flawless skin This hat smothered her. She should have a word with Sophie Wessex who got it right with a choice of hat that didn't hide her naturel beauty.

She’s not a girl she’s a 36 year old woman in the public eye- and how we turn ourselves out is completely irrelevant.

Sisterhood! Great to see it's alive and kicking.

I find the arm clinging rather strange, a woman in her mid thirties, actress, addressesed the UN is suddenly shy and vulnerable ?

I fail to see what's wrong with commenting on what someone who's photo is never out of the newspapers and clearly enjoys public attention is wearing.

She is/was an actress after all .

Shall we just all say that we love everything that she and anyone else in the public eye is wearing at all times. Actually we wouldn't need to would we? It would be a given.

How boring would a thread of "Oh I do like what MM is wearing at Ascot" followed by pages and pages of "yes I do too"

And all paid for by the British Tax payers.

Ffs who cares! The world is going to hell in a handcart and this is what bothers you?

If I was wearing 7" heels, I'd want to cling on to a strong young man too.

Beatrice and Eugenia need to take a bit of advice from Meghan who looked a knock out. I wonder if she has an older sister for my DS, he scrubs up well ], but I would say that as I am his mum.

Very demure look, lovely hat but did not seem quite 'her'. Do hope she's not being overly groomed by advisers.

I would think she has a mind of her own

SueDonim, i said that on daily mail thread but they didnt show it. Not half as offensive as some already on there.

I think Meghan looks very nice, but Sophie looks absolutely stunning. She seems to improve with age - rather like me!

annsixty She is in control when they are together with the clutching arm and the holding hands.. Noticed she stood in the background on the balcony Whether intentional or was advised. Not so confident when she was with the Queen, which would have been a daunting experience for her as a newcomer. Wonder what the future holds for this couple 'as a couple' once she finds her feet. Bring on the first pregnancy.!

perfect in fact Well actually, yes
Many years ago I went to the first day of Ascot. Did I wear a shirt waster with some embroidery on it, no!
This is a formal day. In her position that 'casual' dress wasn't appropriate.

There in ‘in love ‘ wasn’t you like that once I know me and h couldn’t keep our hands off one another when we were young sigh.
Not sure about the dress though.

I love the touch freely. Total break with protocol. Bravo! Just imagine she's a newlywed and in love.

Love her hat, in fact her whole outfit, I think her advisors have made the right choice this time, although GNetters will never agree, poor girl, there is always something wrong.Give her a break!

The hat was fine but the droopy shirtwaister was awful.
I've said before when she wore the oversized dressing gown to a wedding that I think she's being got at.
I loved the dress and shoulder cape that she wore for her engagement with the Queen, much more her style, let her wear more of that sort of dress.

Interesting that even Prince Harry has to wear a name badge.

I’m just so envious of anyone who, unlike me , can wear a hat or fascinator without looking like ‘Benny’ from Crossroads lol ! ( Oops sorry Maw ! )
