GRETA CONSTANTINE Oseph Off Shoulder Gown
Sentaler Baby Alpaca Cape
Wow, love the green gown on her. Not everyone can wear a number structured like that but Meghan has the perfect figure for it.
ReplyDeleteI also like the cape. Pairing it with leggings and knee high boots makes for a chic ensemble.

I agree completely! Also great hair and make-up with the green dress. Damsel Dragonfly
DeleteAgree. It looks amazing on her.
DeleteAgree with every word @Anon 9:13. I would like to have that cape.
DeleteIs she the only one with a long gown?
DeleteShe looks like the Duchess of Windsor; Wallis Simpson in the first two pictures
DeleteThat kind of green suits her perfectly, same colour as in the dress she wore for prince Louis's christening. Looks like a happy occasion, I'm glad for them! Nice to see them here on the blog too. (And this time I won't read the haters' comments, that would be too depressing.)
Delete-B.
Didn’t they want privacy?
ReplyDeleteYes, they wanted to chose when the press can have pictures of them. They didn't want the British press/royal rota to choose this for them. This is one of those moments the press is allowed so no privacy issue this time. You can read about it on their website. Damsel Dragonfly
DeleteI agree, they said they wanted to live a private life, then have remained in the limelight ever since. Sad that they could possibly have done a lot of good, instead they destroy most every project they touch. Hurting Rachel's family, then Henry's family, with such vitriol is sad they cannot be truthful with themselves and make a turn-around in life.
DeleteNo, Anonymous 23:50, they did not want privacy. That is the tired old gong rung to death by hostile The Daily Mail and picked up by others to get clicks and laughs. They wanted independence, which they have achieved. They are not funded by the UK or royal family.
DeleteNo they didn’t … stop saying the same thing. They wanted to escape from the viciousness of the British press which is entirely different. LRB…. Not anonymous.
DeleteThey never said that. You are spreading british tabloids narrative. Meghan:-They've created a false narrative. I've never talked about privacy...She said she and Harry only wanted the same basic right to privacy as anyone would expect to be given — only sharing those parts of their lives that they feel “comfortable” with sharing. When this narrative was spreading by the press when their nextflix documentary came out their spoke person said:-Their statement announcing their decision to step back mentions nothing of privacy and reiterates their desire to continue their roles and public duties. Any suggestion otherwise speaks to a key point of this series. They are choosing to share their story, on their terms, and yet the tabloid media has created an entirely untrue narrative that permeates press coverage and public opinion. The facts are right in front of them.” so can we please stop spreading this false narrative. It doesn't get more true if you keep saying it. Have to congrats to the people following the royal rotas lies from the news papers Harry blacklisted and will have nothing to do with based on their...right, LIES!
DeleteOf course they wanted to be out of the limelight!
DeleteThey are only on the limelight for the outings of the causes they support. We haven’t seen much of their personal pictures of their kids do we? So yes, they want the privacy out of the eyes of the british tabloid and paparazzis. Fair point.

Delete.........."Hurting Rachel's family"?........ If your half sister accept money from the gutter press to tell lies about you, what would you do ? If you write a personal letter to your father and you can read the content of that letter the day after in the press, what would you think ? Since they are still in the running they seem to have projects which are not destroyed yet. Since they are independents sometimes a project cannot be achieved while another one has success. That is called business. I think they are doing very well and they proved they are adult enough to earn their own money. There is a lot of jealousy among those who are still locked up in a life which has been calculated for them and in which they can just do what is expected of them, but in which they may not/cannot show any personal initiative.
Anon 12:44, you mean the letter to her father with the purpose of it being leaked?
DeleteAnonymous18/2/24 06:13 There is no viciousness of the British Press. Henry has an axe to grind, has never gotten over his mother’s death, thinking it was the press that pushed her into the limo where she did not use a seatbelt. Press are all over the world, they can be nice, yet intrusive. Henry took offence to anyone with a camera, yet he courts the camera to toss his sour grapes at his family, hurting them. She uses the camera/media to do the same to her family, as well as Henry's family. Denying that what they are doing is hurting everyone, including their children as they grow, will get them nowhere in the long run.
DeleteHenry and Rachel's speech is always fully loaded with 'their recollections' or insinuations, rather than being truthful, as they use their words to incite division, hurt other people, and then take the 'we are the victim' status, when it is clear they are not. This is my personal opinion, gathered from articles on various news sites including but not limited to he APA, BBC, The Guardian etc
@Anon 16:05 Personal opinions, indeed. You aren't the best student. The British press you are referring to are known for being vicious. To state otherwise shows your bias. There is no need for me to take your assertions point by point. You are desperate to state your opinion and win your argument, which you keep doing, even to the point of misstating the most basic facts. For example, Diana was not in a limo. Why do you insist on spewing your irrelevant, non-fashion commentary on a fashion blog? This is a YOU problem. YOU are making the choice to come here and read the comments. YOU are making the choice to engage with others. Personally, I think you still hear a laugh track in your head every time you call them by the alternative names you have chosen for them. I think you are still trying for acknowledgment of your dumb joke. That would explain why you have nothing new to say and continue to regurgitate the same thing we have heard for years.
Delete@ 13:21 It was'nt the only letter or document from them that has been stolen or copied before it was send with the rest of the post.
DeleteAnon 20:04, you mean it was an inside job?
DeleteIn Africa , we have high standard family values. Nobody can shame, trash or disrespect openly and publicly parents ou elders. In Africa ways of life, Harry and Meghan would already be considred as a cursed couple. Shame on people, especially older persons and parents in Europe and America , who keep on giving them a kind of platforms. You're promoting abuse and disrespect against families.
DeleteAnonymous 04:06
DeleteWhat if the parents are neglecting their children or when the parent(s) are constantly neglecting one child in favor of another child. This is only an example I am given to understand the standard family values in Africa. It is not always the children who are wrong, parents can be wrong too.
Anon 04:06. You're either a troll or completely out of your mind. High standard family values, you don't say. Cursing people shows very high standards indeed. Female genital mutilations or childwitch accusations also speak of high standards. Look up "Land of Hope", that'll show you an example of the high standard family values of your continent.
DeleteAnon 4:06 Excuse us if we don't cower at the thought of being "cursed". It is as simple as not believing in curses. Most people don't believe in witchcraft, voodoo or hoodoo either. I think you are preaching to the wrong crowd. I think that stuff is usually most effective on people that believe it.
DeleteAnon 21:21, the conclusion is that she’s not likable in Africa either. FYI ”Land of dreams” is not for everyone..
DeleteAnon 06:08. Your comment doesn't make sense. What does your comment have to do with mine? Are you ok? 21:21
DeleteIt’s wild that for some reason when it comes to *this couple* people stop understanding what privacy means.
DeleteA few years ago when an intrusive paparazzo was following Prince William and his family when they were on a bike ride near their home and he yelled at the paparazzo, people understood privacy. They understood that Prince William can be a public figure and still be entitled not to have his family be followed and harassed while not a public event. No one criticized Prince William for protecting his family or demanded that he live the life of a hermit because he rightfully expects to keep some elements of his life private.
Yet, that is the black and white expectation people like you have for Prince Harry. In fact, you’ve even put words in his mouth in order to rationalize implying he’s a hypocrite (according to *your* double standard). Because he didn’t list living a private life as a reason for leaving his job as a working royal. Go check his press release on the issue; it’s still available online. However, even if he had, he would still be entitled to the same level of basic decency extended to Prince William. And you’re telling on yourself that you won’t extend that same decency to him and his wife.
Love how you refer to Prince William and his family, but then to Prince Harry and his wife..interesting…
DeleteBritish Royals? Seriously?
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteYes, Kteach, seriously. Harry is a born prince of the blood and Meghan is HRH Princess Henry, Duchess of Sussex. They do not use the HRH but it is still theirs. It has not been removed. It is just not used.
DeleteThese games have already been played, ad nauseam, the past few days. It's all played out now.
DeleteMeghan's gown is gorgeous! I love the cape as well. Her style is achievable for most women and the closest to my own of all the royal ladies. I wish nothing but success for the athletes next winter.
Agree. Harry was born into Royalty, MM married into one, and was on the job for how long? hasn’t earned it. MM lacks a bust & waist, her style has to give an illusion of one.
DeleteHer stylist did a good job.
We're still pulling this bull? Please grow up and move on.
DeleteYes,you don't like and it's your problem.
DeleteWell said Anon 02:35. I agree with you. Harry is and remains a prince of blood and the son of the current King. No one can deny that. They live their life away from the monarchy hence there is no more protocol of titles that’s all. Same as the Greece family, the monarchy was deposed but we still consider the King and Queen.
DeleteStop all the hostilities towards Harry and his spouse.
LK
Agree with Kteach…
DeleteDo they have a dukedom in US?
DeleteExactly! They sure do love to use those titles!One of the officials,when asked what to call her,he was told to call her ‘ma’am’.The ‘Just call me Harry’ days are no more! ๐
Delete"Ma'am" is nothing more than an abbreviation of "Madame". In France every woman of 20 years old is called "Madame". A female teenager is called "Mademoiselle". In Belgium until Queen Paola, every queen was called "Madame". I have heard that Queen Mathilde prefers to be called (Votre) Majestรฉ. When I am going to do my shopping the shopkeeper calls me also Madame (Fr) or Mevrouw (NL).
DeleteWe all know what ma am is standing for. It has nothing to do with the polite "Madame" in France.
DeleteWell Kteach, they are and you are not. Jealous much?
DeleteAnon 12:14. Ma'am is a term of respectful and polite address for women. And yes, it originates from the french Madame. Maybe you're more familiar with "Hey you", try out Ma'am for a change.

But since I am not British I don't remember the complicated history of GB. All these wars between the Stuarts and the Tudors.... I can't remember how it was.
The name Ma'am probably was born in that period.
Ma'am = Madam = Madame

I’m kind of meh on the green dress but I have to say her makeup looks phenomenal. The blush is well-blended and the lipstick is a perfect color for that outfit. I’m most interested in what appear to be her diamond earrings and necklace. I honestly don’t like most of what Meghan wears but those jewels are really elegant.
ReplyDeleteI like the cape, but not the way Meghan has styled it. Her gloves look quite odd with it, both their color and length, in my opinion. I think the cape would look better styled the way shown on the model. I like Meghan’s hair with a side part. I do not care for the olive color of her gown, but it seems to be a color she likes. I think I recall her wearing a similar color for Louis’ christening.
ReplyDelete-Royal Watcher
@ Royal Watcher. She is wearing long gloves because the cape have shorter sleeves and she probably wears a top without or with short sleeves underneath.
DeleteI would also wear groveste. Do dumbfounded by the comment. Obviously there is something wrong with me ๐๐คฃ
DeleteThat is a stunner of a gown! Perfect for her figure. Love the earthy green. They look lovely and happy. Good luck to the Invictus Gales!
ReplyDeleteI really love the gown, however the only criticism I have is that her eyebrows are painted on to heavy and look rather too exaggerated! FITZHUGH
ReplyDeleteI thought this was only supposed to be about royals?
ReplyDeleteGive it a rest. It's getting old.
DeleteOh for heavens sake. Many non working members of various royal families are covered here… why do we have this comment every time. Helen ( or sorry is it Helene) can post about whomsoever she chooses. If you don’t like it, scroll on by. LRB
DeleteRight, Harry isn't a royal. Get a grip. When Helen wrote about Zara Tindall january 28 guess how many comments with nonsense like this we read.
DeleteAnon 10:37, his behaviour goes towards commoner since marrying into the Markles family.
DeleteThat is why Prince Harry is loved by so many people because he is so down to earth with the common people, the handicapped, older persons, children, etc... He was already like this before he got married to Meghan.
DeleteI mean selling out your family issues to the press. Anon 13:24
Delete@Anon 13:24 Do you have something against commoners? Or are you agreeing with the British royal trend of preferring to marry commoners since so many of them have done so including William, as well as most of his aunts, uncles and cousins. Explain your comment please.

DeleteOprah said: "Before we get in to it, I just want to make it clear to everybody that even though we’re neighbours … that there has not been an agreement, you don’t know what I’m going to ask, and there is no subject that’s off-limits and you are not getting paid for this interview."
DeleteYet he was there sobbing about his family issues on national tv..
DeleteStunning dress. She’s styled very well.
ReplyDeleteI think Meghan looks absolutely stunning in this shape of gown and the colour suits her. It seems that the event has been very successful and Invictus have been welcomed by the Canadians . Now I am looking forward to the games and hoping we see some of the events televised.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of the dress, neither the makeup with the dress. I do like the casual look- the long boots give her legs a balanced look. The make up she chose with the causal look is perfect. The hairstyle worn with both outfits is perfect, I think a side part suits her so much better than middle parts.
ReplyDeleteT
Beautiful evening gown. I like the color. Also like the delicate jewelry. The soft camel cape and the white coat are so elegant.

Delete”Sugars” and ”rotas”… what are these even? Meghan is that you again..
DeletePretty pathetic. Everyone following The Brits knows this. The Royal Rota is the press pool that covers the British royal family. The Royal Rota is made up of a select group of media representatives that are invited to attend and report on royal events, with the understanding that the news and photographs taken at the event will be freely shared with other members of the media. This pool system decreases the number of media representatives that would otherwise attend, which helps to alleviate space and security concerns. https://newsmediauk.org/industry-services/royal-rota/

The gown is tricky to wear as it should fit your body. Meghan wears it wonderfully. The colour suits her too. I love her camel coat, super on the model, a bit less on Meghan as i wonder if it’s better with a smaller size for her to fit more?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress and Meghan looks great wearing it. I also like the cape. Her clothes are always very stylish and elegant.
ReplyDeleteAlways too much and over the top….
DeleteA sound no from me regarding the olive green wrap-style gown. Sorry. Looks like she learned from Scarlett O'Hara in a more negative way - tearing down some curtains from the rod and wrapping the fabric around her body. Might have worked to some degree on Scarlett, on Meghan much less so.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Not a good color for her. I do not care for her hair style either.
DeleteM
What a horrible and frankly absurd comment. This dress has no comparisons to a S O’H dress…
DeleteOf course there's no comparison, as Miss O'Hara's (wasn't she already Mrs. Kennedy then?) green drapery dress was way better. @anon16:41
DeleteDidn’t she say when she was royal,she only wore muted colors so not to clash with other royals.All we see her in now are muted colors. Maybe it’s an old habit to break!
DeleteAnon 16:41, are you taking it personally?

Delete- Anon 9:13
Dearest fellow commentators on this topic: I fail to see how it is "hiding hate" and "jealousy" when voicing a dislike of a certain garment on a channel focussing mainly on fashion. I did say nothing about Meghan as a person, nothing about her character, or conduct, not a word about her relation to her husband and the royal family. Nothing of that sort. I just said that the dress is quite hideous. That was all. Just FYI - I also might (and already did!) criticise other wearers featured on this blog, no matter who they are, when I think their outfits are an eye-sore. That is what this blog is truly about. Fashion and what we think about it.

DeleteYou mean noone else got the dresscode memo?
Delete@Anon 15:11 You have it reversed. It is always better to be overdressed than to be underdressed. Being underdressed suggests not caring or giving the occasion much thought. I'm sure you have noticed that royals, in particular, are better dressed than most of the people they visit. It does not mean to dress in such a way to shame the dress of others, just to err on the side of upping your fashion a little when not quite sure.
DeleteOverdressed , bad taste, simple as that
DeleteIn my opinion, Meghan always had a better style than Kate, and these photos show it. Nevertheless she looks too thin. No need for that.
ReplyDeleteIt's not fair to compare them: different women, different roles, different styles from the beginning. They both are under a lot of scrutiny of the British press. Let's not go there on this blog. You definitely have every right to think this but it all adds to the media's women-unfriendly bias on both royals. Some things are better thought than written down, in my opinion. Damsel Dragonfly
DeleteShe dresses like any other influencer/blogger, while Catherine dresses more regal.
DeletePrincess of Wales is also very thin.
DeleteAgree. Meghan is much more stylish and has a youthful look fashion choice, Kate has an elderly style (even when she was not married yet to William, her style is already boring).
DeleteEmily
I think the Princess of Wales leans more towards British fashion.
DeleteWhereas, the Duchess of Sussex is more towards American fashion.
Two different ball games, in my opinion.
Anon 01:37, Catherines style will go down in history, while Meghan follows trends.

DeleteAndrea, I hope you are feeling better after such a long illness. In the past few years that you were indisposed, people have come to understand that Harry and Meghan are still royals. It must be so confusing for someone like you, trying to catch up after being out of pocket for so long. Tabloids will say anything that continues to get views, confusing the matter.

DeleteWell said Andrea! It must still hurt the family all the lies they told,and for money!So sad!
DeleteAndrea, many of us agree with you and do not feel there is anything royal about them. Unfortunately, I do not think Charles will take any titles away. Now when William assumes the throne....we will see what happens then.
DeleteM
First, they are royals no matter how much this hurt your sensitive feelings. Just like Zara, Bea, Eugenie, and so on. You never come with this bs when Helen write about them. Second Charles can't take away ant title only the parliament can do that. Third Harry have just done what BOTH his parents did. Write his story. Diana was hated for her, but Charles who told how mean his dad was and how cold his mother was got away with it. Please stop the hate.

DeleteI like the top half of the green gown, but the bottom half is a fail to me. The gathering at the hip, thigh area looks okay, but something about the bottom, I'm not sure the train, something is off to me. The color is nice and suits her well.
ReplyDeleteThe cape looks nice on the model, fits well, sits well, but on Meghan it seems to overwhelm her frame, combined with the extra long gloves this look is a miss for me. The color is gorgeous though.
I think she has lost too much weight and she is already small-boned so things just fit weird on her. The colours suit her, but the fit is most of the time a miss.
DeleteWow, I didn't realize just how many Sussex Sugars were on this site.

DeleteFollowing @Anon 12:32 comment (18 Feb.) about Wallis Simpson look-a-like, to date, American women haven’t had much success in marrying into the British Royal Family.
ReplyDeleteBoth The Duchess of Windsor and Duchess of Sussex have had problems.
Autumn Phillips (Canadian) the daughter-in-law of Princess Anne, after 13 years of marriage to Peter Phillips, has now left the British Royal Family.
It seems, for the moment, it’s only the Australians e.g. Queen Mary of Denmark, who are able to adapt to the dramatic cultural and life change.
On a fashion note, the foreign ladies had the “gift of the gab” when it came to style and fashion.
Interesting thoughts deadeggs. Do you think part of the issue between Mary vs Meghan is that the Danish press is very different? LRB
DeleteIt comes down to character and being able to adapt
DeleteI think it has everything to do with the family they married into, along with the intrusive nature of the British press. Both the BRF and the press lack boundaries.
DeleteMary learnt not just the Danish way of life but their language.
DeleteNot bad going for an Aussie chick!
Catherine managed
DeleteDeadeggs, don't forget Maxima. Going from Brazil to The Netherlands must have been culture shock but she's a beloved Queen now.
DeleteOh and American, Lisa Halleby, married the King of Jordan and I think they stayed married til his death. So it must be the press, lol.
The British press is pretty brutal.
Catherine didn't have a racial issue to deal with. Her children were not compared to monkeys. I still believe, no matter who the new member of the family is, the BRF should step in and express their displeasure at some of the more egregious stories the tabloids come up with. Remaining silent only gives the tabloids license to continue their outrageous behavior. They have tapped their phones, what is next? It is a system set up for failure.
DeleteAnon at 20:57, Catherine managed because she was pushed to the BRF by her mother. Her mother did everything to get her married with William. That story has been told many times in many newspapers. I'm afraid Catherine must pay for it now, too much pressure. I wish her a quickly recovering from the surgery.

ReplyDeleteNow that’s just down right rude and insulting!
DeleteIf anyone dares air a negative opinion about Meghan,the swarm of supporters are out baiting for blood!But it’s all ok when someone comes along and insults a nation of women! Where’s the long thread of comments and outrage now
?If it wasn’t so hypocritical it would be hilarious!
As a Brit I totally agree with you. I think Meghan is hard working, very supportive of her husband, always tries to wear local brands and new and up and coming brands as well as the classics. And let’s remember the British tax payer is not funding anything she wears. But let’s also remember she and Prince Harry are royal… love them or hate them, Harry is son of the King. LRB
DeleteLRB-No you’re spot on. The taxpayer doesn’t pay for her clothes.She pays for that with the $30mil silver after selling everything they could to Netflix Spare Dax Shepherd the list goes on! But you’re absolutely right the Brits don’t pay for her clothes.
DeleteAnon 20:10 yes based on how she treats staff, family and friends she truely is a rolemodel for women. I would even throw in the ”empower” word so we have that ticked of aswell..
DeleteHermes, Valentino, Givenchy, Dior are locals, in Paris, but maybe that’s your position..
To claim "The Biracial American Girl IS every bit, if not MORE beautiful than any brit on their best day because the Beauty is not just on the outside." you must be out of your mind. The Brits are not a monolith - there are many bi- and multi-racial people in Britain, as well as those who are not mixed with anything that Meghan (no offense to her, I haven't got a problem with her) can't come close to. If you're the best in the room, you're in the wrong room.

Awful dress. Cannot believe he married her. Poor choice, like her dress.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 28.2.2024 18.39 considering the observations are supposed to be about fashion I find YOUR comment totally unacceptable. I think @ 16.05 has as much right to an opinion as you and this is not the place for such a vicious attack whilst hiding behind 'Anonymous '. If you cannot be polite to another contributor and accept that opinions may vary, then consider thinking before before commenting.
ReplyDeleteI love this gown on her. Perfect California effortless chic.
ReplyDeleteI also love some of the crazed comments here about how awful Harry is. It's like the posters aren't old enough to remember the dozens of royal scandals that have been forgiven and now crowned.
@DSC "Those who can, do". Those who cannot (a bit of poetic license) hide behind sarcasm and ridicule to make themselves feel important". Research shows that having her work worn on red carpets is among the accomplishments of this designer. At the very least labeling her work as hideous is disrespectful particularly when it is almost certain the writer cannot match this skill.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me? Since when has someone to only praise a certain designer for his or her work, and is not allowed to criticise? When I think something hideous, no matter the label, then I will tell. Simple as that. Also, on this blog, I'm sure, more offending words have been used in the past on some outfits. Hideous might be indeed amongst the more moderate ones. I also think it's futile to have a conversation with someone who doesn't even bother to give a nickname. To go anonymous is rather impudent, in particular when this blog normally asks to give at least a nickname or some initials.
DeleteBoth of Meghan's dresses seem great. The evening gown fits well. Meghan knows exactly how to select clothing that best suits her body type. The green outfit highlights her stunning skin tone. -Siri
ReplyDeleteSo much hate, and so many opinions that are completely withoutany facts or reality. Karma must have a field day. Harry and Meghan look fantastic. The green dress ๐
ReplyDeleteTotally agree and the hate is really worrying. No wonder they need so much security. I am. Not .. suggesting anyone on here would do or wish actual harm, but the hate breeds hate breeds yet more hate. Why do people who have such a low opinion of this amazing talented and beautiful couple feel the need to constantly insult them and everything they do. Look to Harry’s father who withdrew their security whilst continuing to pay for his brother Andrew’s security from his private funds. For a man whose ex wife and mother of the heir so clearly suffered for lack of security I think it is astonishing at least that he withdrew that security. For me as a Brit I am totally team H&M. LRB
DeleteAnon 21:14, this security thing, do you take it personally?
DeleteSo many anonymous, so many sugars.
ReplyDeleteYou are just as anonymous ergo you are one too.
Delete@Kteach, you are as anonymous as I am. We don't give our real names here. But I prefere to be "sugar", not "vinegar" ๐.
DeleteLove your comment, just me!

Thank you Cora ๐
Delete@DSC above.
ReplyDeleteThe fashion industry and fashion culture are a real thing, generating billions of dollars in sales around the globe. Only the truly uncultured among us would reduce a designer garment to 'hideous'. Imagine fashion Week in any location (that employs hundreds) referred to as 'trendy'.
The point is that 'hideous' shows a lack of self expression/character or the use of voyeurism to look into the struggles of a family that has not asked you to take sides, and take swipes at the one who you have been told is out of favor.
Why is the dress hideous? Fabric, silhouette, color? waiting.....

ReplyDeleteAll those anonymous people who left messages here, why you are not revealing your names? It seems the notorious Sussex squads are in full working mode on this site. How much this couple paid you to sugarcoat them? No matter how expensive the clothes, Rachel is putting on, they cannot hide her true color. British people won't forgive her and her husband for the way they treated the beloved QEII during her final years!
ReplyDeleteThe usual blanket statement with no examples.
DeleteShe lived through wars, lost large bits of the empire, financial crises, an assassination attempt!, an intruder in her bedroom
twice , her mom and sister dying, Phil living elsewhere, Phil very sick Phil dying. Andrew 7 mil for a chalet and 12 mil for...and we are supposed to believe that 2 adults leaving the cage was too much.??and a grandchild at that??
Reality has escaped!
Show of hands if you are living at your grandmother's and broke.
Ladarlena is also anonymous name. And sadly you can't hide your true colours either. The lack of self-awerness is pretty telling. Normal people doesn't
Deleteneed to judge and hate a royal person. We comment on the event, and their outfits. We are not in any cult or club. Sarah
