On September 12, the Duchess of Sussex arrived in Germany for the 2023 Invictus Games. On September 13, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the Wheelchair Basketball preliminary match played between Ukraine and Australia at the Merkur Spiel Arena on the 4th day of the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023, held for the 6th time this year.
The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event established in 2014 by the Duke of Sussex. The adaptive event is aimed at wounded, injured or sick Armed Forces personnel and veterans, and it takes its name from the Latin word 'Invictus', meaning 'unconquered'.

I love her style!!!! She looks smart and trendy
ReplyDeleteYes she does! Ladyofthemanor
Deleteseriously! i feel so embarrassed for her, those shorts are not for public viewing, its like grandma's panties
DeleteM.
Sorry, but no this time.
DeleteUne silhouette qui peut tout se permettre.
ReplyDeleteJ aime
Froufrou
I agree.
DeleteHer outfit looks like something you would wear clubbing. The shorts should be a but linger to look nice.
ReplyDeleteWell yes, in germany we are a bit conservative. e.
DeleteOh dear!!! skinny jeans or tights would have been more flattering. But the jacket looks good.
ReplyDeleteA lttle bit too relaxed and short, better for the beach
ReplyDeleteThe best fashion this week has come from Harry
ReplyDeleteFrom formal to informal, weii cut suits, Hermes tie, shirts, polo shirts, jeans, Chino, highly polished shoes, sneakers. in different colors . The man has embraced fashion...and he looks....
Ana.
Agree 100%
DeleteKay
And by the way, happy birthday, prince harry!
DeleteI like the jacket very much. I cannot say the same of the short. Longer trousers would have been better. It looks a bit too childish to me. Rose
ReplyDeleteNo pictures from yesterday? Yes, again all black...
ReplyDeleteModerator, please, the nasty comments for the sake of nastiness are tiring and reflect on You as well for allowing the mistreatment of a person . There are sites that cater to these cretins.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? Comments here are personal views fashionwise, so what?
DeleteWhy is it for the sake of nastiness, people were also criticizing when Queen Letizia wore shorts and that was while on holiday in Mallorca!
DeleteShorts are for the beach or if you yourself take part in sports, not for an official engagement! Yes, she is no longer a working royal, but she is appearing here as the wife of the founder of the Invictus Games , so I would suggest some nice ankle length trousers or a skirt to go with the upper part of the outfit.
Oh Sarah, once again, this is about fashion and yes, last time I checked we were still allowed to tell our opinion freely.
DeleteSo please, try not to be nasty yourself and please, not to like an outfit is not nastiness but an act of free speech. Try harder to remember that next time. Thank you.

DeleteYou are mistaken. You must have said that yesterday. Until now everybody talked about fashion and clothes. I hope it will stay that way.
Is it not allowed to give an opinion about the clothes?
DeleteAn ugly, inappropriate outfit is begging for derision. Try to understand this. She looks like she’s at a play date with her children.
DeleteI don't think that D of Sussex is dressed appropriately for the event, a pair of slim off white pants would have been a better choice. This outfit would be fine in California but not at the Invictus Games. mjt
ReplyDeleteYes the shorts are very Californian/American, but why not. It's a sporting event ….no?
DeleteIts not the pants, its who is wearing them.
DeleteShorts may be "californian", here in germany at official events it is a bisserl nackert... anna e.
DeleteIt's nothing to do with who is wearing it. This outfit would be inappropriate for anyone out of their teens (apart from on holiday, of course). In fact, thinking of the various teen Princesses of Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, Netherlands, I cannot imagine any of them turning up at a similar event wearing shorts. It's not ageist, racist, Meghan hating, just a statement of fact. Her dress the other day was great and the leggings and T shirt she wore on another occasion were okay for a sporting event but this just no!
DeleteAccording to Annie there must be strict lists of clothes for women in their 20's, women in their 30's, women in their 40's and so on. Next up will be haircuts and hairstyles, heel heights, clothes for widows, clothes for mothers in law, etc. etc.
DeleteWhy compare teenaged princesses with a 41 year old private citizen? She represents herself. It was made quite clear to her that the titles were not to be used, but the commoners still want to remind her about royalty when it suits. As long as hubby does not mind, it does not matter. In fact, he seems delighted.
Are shorts really banned from all society, with the exception of beaches, in Europe? I am speechless. This is a very chic outfit, appropriate for going out for a bite to eat, shopping, or a sporting event. These are not shorts one would wear to the beach. It is very difficult to know if the criticism is real or extremely harsh because it is Meghan.
DeleteWhy not?It is the games not a gala.
DeleteWhen you have style and know how to dress well, you avoid very short skirts and shorts
DeleteWhat should be done about the other women wearing shorts to a sporting event? Should they be thrown out for breaking this imaginary dress code?
DeleteAnnieM it's so hard when royals doesn't know they shouldn't show legs at sports events https://media.gettyimages.com/id/590001366/pt/foto/queen-maxima-of-the-netherlands-king-willem-alexander-of-the-netherlands-and-their-daughters.jpg?s=612x612&w=gi&k=20&c=xv4y_zlEUJLJ2Nv6HPdg5CLeozQsEdeApJBp1sAzF3E=

Just sitting here waiting for the nastiness and hate to begin. Guess what they are gonna hate the shorts. They gonna hate the jacket. They are gonna hate the shoes. They are gonna hate the hair. They are gonna hate that they hold hands, because who are they fooling. What are they not gonna hate? Oh, yeah I forgot she has a black top on so that is also gonna be criticised. I on the other hand see a lovely couple that love each other, and who are supporting and are dressed appropriately for a sports event. Sarah.
ReplyDeleteAgain, comments here completely ok, just personal opinions about fashion choices...
DeleteDear Sarah
DeleteAnd in no time the bunion critics will be riding into town - opps sorry, the Invictus Games.
Better be quiet Sarah. You give the haters ideas.
DeleteThose pants are a bit too short for a official engagement
ReplyDeleteAn official engagement?
DeleteThey are in the crowd enjoying a sporting event.
And prince harry is in an official position there, not as a guest.
DeleteWell the answer to all this would be for Harry to wear shorts.....no?
DeleteRavie de les voir se tenir par la main en public ; qu'ils en profitent. Est-ce que la duchesse a beaucoup minci ? Cela peut se remarquer dans l'association de son léger blazer d'été au passe-poil élégant porté sur un short écru et un haut noir !
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction when I saw here was:
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she’s going to the beach 🤭
Meghan looks chic and delicate at the same time, which is hard to do. She has a special charm.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
Delete??
DeleteI like neutrals, but not sure what I'm supposed to make of her sad complaints about not being able to wear color whilst in the BRF.
ReplyDeleteI remember...
DeleteDid you see the note published by Boris Johnson's wife from the Queen.? It stated what color she was wearing to dinner to avoid a mishap. Stop the unintelligent school girl sniping.
DeleteWhat I remember is that she complained to the world about how hard wearing color was in the BRF, so she felt she had to wear only neutrals then, implying that she would have liked to wear color, but really couldn't. This is what she said to us. But in real life, neutrals are what she likes to wear. She was manipulating us, and it makes me feel righteous indignation .
DeleteAs an adult you are a lightweight if you allow yourself to be so easily manipulated by another family's internal feud. What you really want to do is regurgitate her statement every time she wears light color. She has also worn red, black and a dark denim or green dress since then, but you are too invested in putting her down to let it go.
DeleteShe doesn't know you to manipulate you. Immature sniping!
Agree to Lily Bart
Delete@11:00 What power she has to enter weak distant minds
Deleteand manipulate them over such a trifling matter.
Apart from the shorts, which I think are a bit too short, Meghan looks beautiful. Photo 5 shows how the outfit would have been chef’s kiss if only the shorts were trousers.
ReplyDeleteT
Meghan you better hide those chicken legs !!
ReplyDeleteThe jacket is nice, the shorts are too short and don't fit the occasion.
ReplyDeleteRight. I don't like the shorts. In some pictures they looked crumpled as well. And I am only talking about outfit/fashion, because this is what this blog is for.
ReplyDeleteI do think the same!
DeleteHideous outfit no taste. Other media sites show the outfit crumpled it needs ironing. Meghan looks sloppy as usual. Its what the young ones go clubbing with or to the beach with in those shorts.
ReplyDeleteHideous comment…go get a life.
DeleteYou know that linen always crumple on any royal or ourselves wearing it. Linen has been a hit this summer. Do you behave this nasty then too? Get a grip.
DeleteAgain very nasty comments, when someone just expresses her/his opinion fashionwise.
DeleteFor the umpteenth time, one of my comments has been censored. I would like to know why. A positive comment on Letizia yesterday and today I said of Meghan “che indecenza", just the truth, I could not have said anything else. No problem leaving this undemocratic site. Irene
ReplyDeleteHer legs are not her best assets. Never have been. Not body shaming - we all have something, some where, that's a little quirky or just not the best aspect of our physical appearance. (I'm a little too "hippy." No matter what size I am. A size 16 or size 8 - and I've been both - my hips are a little to wide in portion to the rest of my body.) IMO she has always looked her best when she de-emphasize them. For these type of shorts your really have to have FABULOUS legs. Skinny jeans, casual trousers, light, flowy long summer dress would have been much better.
ReplyDeleteEuropa
So true, hide your less than perfect legs, hide any body part that is not fabulous, hide the vets without legs or arms, hide the disabled kid, hide the old and infirm.
DeleteWhat is wrong with her legs? I really don't see it.
Delete@Europa 23:27: For those at the event who have lost their legs because they were fighting for your freedom, I'm sure they think that Meghan has FABULOUS legs.

TO ALL OF YOU - THIS BLOG IS ABOUT THE FASHION!!!!!!!!!
DeleteTHIS BLOG IS NOT ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL EVENT OR EVENTS THE PERSON IN QUESTION IS ATTENDING! IT’S ABOUT THE FASHION AND HOW IT IS WORN!!! PART OF A GOOD FASHION SENSE IS KNOWING YOUR LMITATIONS AND WHAT DOES AND DOES NOT LOOK GOOD ON YOU. THESE SHORTS DON’T WORK ON HER – AND THE SHOES ARE UGLY TOO.
ALL OF YOU MAKING YOUR HIGH AND MIGHTY, HOLLIER THAN THOU, COMMENTS NEED TO GET A GRIP, TAKE A SERIOUS INWARD LOOK AT YOURSELVES, AND *******REMEMBER***** WHAT THIS BLOG IS ABOUT AND WHAT IT IS ***SUPPOSED*** TO BE FOCUSSED ON – FASHION!!! I STAND BY POST!!!
AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION - NOT THAT IT IS ANY OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESSS - MY DAD WAS A VET! INJURED DURING SERVICE AND SUFFERED FROM PTSD!!! I HAVE NOTHING BUT TOTAL AND COMPLETE SUPPORT FOR THESE VETS AND THE INVICTUS GAMES!
AND YES – I AM SHOUTING ALL OF THIS BECAUSE YOU ALL DON’T SEEM TO BE LISTENING!!!
EUROPA
@ europa. If you continue to shout like that, you’ll have your neighbours banging on your wall.
DeleteTo deadeggs, i love your comments, make me smile! e.
DeleteThe blog is about fashion so it is safer to stick to describing the garments, to not get called out for being a 'leg critic'. Next will it be the people in the sit down volleyball wearing shorts and showing their stumps?.... Shouting to win an argument is ridiculous.
DeleteThe jacket looks nice, I like this very much. The shorts in some photos look very crinkled. Aside from that, I don't like the style or cut of the shorts at all. The two tone flat shoes look good, she has worn these before, I love them.
ReplyDeleteMy only comp!ain't is the shorts a d jacket really aren't the same co!or. I think she looks sporty and effortless.
ReplyDeleteBecause it was effortless.
DeleteInsults, slander, insinuations, hatred, ... and much more - have nothing at all to do with freedom of speech - and everyone knows that.
ReplyDeleteWho has a good nursery school, he is here at an advantage, because contempt for people is self-contempt.
Edmund
Brrrrrrrr what ?????
DeleteTake your meds
DeleteShe should not wear shorts in public, her legs are far too thin to do the shorts or her justice, truly.
ReplyDeleteYes, leave the shorts and short skirts to Letizia and Kate.....
Delete@ Anonymous 11:21
DeleteOf course the two royals who can't do wrong.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have just come to the body shaming portion of our program.
DeleteWould you tell a woman shouldn't wear a dress because her legs are too fat? Too fat or too thin, the comment is rude. Stop finding fault with women's bodies! There is nothing wrong with her legs. The audacity!
@Anon19:30
DeleteQuestion : Do you have to have a ticket to participate in this part of the programme ? If so, I'll have one in the gallery please.
@deadeggs The ticket is on me.
DeleteThanks @ Anon 08:43 I'll take up your offer.
DeleteWill there be a dress code for this part of the programme?
Will they be selling popcorn and peanuts?
Will dogs be allowed?
Of course only Kate is allowed to wear a shorts at a sporting event. Duh https://hollywoodlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Kate-Middleton-Shorts-Bahamas-Rare-SS-embed-1.jpg?w=620 https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/12/590x/secondary/Kate-Middleton-4204216.webp?r=1659268246717
ReplyDelete@ Anon 12:04. Thanks a million.
DeleteA photo speaks a thousand words.
She is even a bit wrinkled. Horrors!
DeleteKate was going out on a boat there. She wasn't heading for a stadium or sports venue. Slightly different situation
DeleteLilyBart this one said more about yourself so thank you.
DeleteTo me, Lilybart is right, completely different situation.
DeleteWell, after seeing what Meghan wore to the Merkur Arena today, I begin to think her luggage with pants and skirts has been lost. Her white jacket is longer than whatever she wears under it. (GM)
ReplyDeleteMakes me smile... e.
DeleteNo to this couple. They are non working royals. More photos of actual working royals, such as The Princess Royal, Anne, or Edward and Sophie, they were all out and about doing various engagements that actually meant something to the general public, not a self-promoting privacy tour of these two. Delvina
ReplyDeleteDelvia have the decency to scroll by. No one forces you to read and leave nasty comments.
DeleteThere are many of us who welcomes reading about them. Just as we read about other NOT working roulyals. The hate they get is shocking.
The fashion part of your commentary got lost. You may want to repost, dear.
DeleteThe Invictus Games are life changing for many. Your comments are just awful..
Delete@ Delvina.
DeleteYour comment would be very welcome on the London Daily Express Royal News. But you'd have to increase your hate level as you can't believe the hate comments which are accepted and printed by this newspaper about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Nasty comments are from nasty people who want to be the center of attention.
ReplyDeleteShe has great legs and it’s a sportevent in late summer. I think she looks fine.
