On February 14, 2024, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the Invictus Games' One Year To Go Event in Whistler village, Canada. Athletes are training at the winter camp for new sports to be featured in the games such as wheelchair curling and Nordic skiing. The 2025 Invictus Games will take place in western Canada. The Invictus Games, which will take place in February 2025, will be the first to feature winter sports.

Oh, no they look happy. What negativity can we spread...had to laugh when I read they spent 45 minutes more then planned talking to people outside, something else then the usually 15 min from someone who shall remain nameless ;) PS they look great. Love Meghans outdoor outfit. Ann
ReplyDeleteIf they Can bé happy after all the negativity spred against the royal family , it's obvious they have no conscience. When will they become independant as stated when they quit the Royal family? 😀😀😀
DeleteLet stick to fashion, as this is a fashion blog.. 45 vs 15 minutes, we’re not into those types of details here darling.
DeleteAnonymous 14:06, what are you talking about? They are financially independent. They do not get funds from official sources in the UK anymore. However, they are still royal and members of the royal family. King Charles has kept their HRH intact even though they do not use that title.
DeleteOh so snarky darling. Are we trying to be Charlotte Tilsbury 🤣😂
Delete14:06 had it been better if they were on the edge of suicide?
DeleteWhat are you on about, 12:49?
DeleteAnon 20:23, you mean Charlotte Tilbury darling?
Delete7:40 Darling or sweet heart. Words like this in a blog are only used to belittle. And talking down someone because of their typos. So congrats. - Julia A
DeleteAnonymous15/2/24 20:24: That seems a rather extreme comment.
DeleteThanks Megs, I needed some entertainment.
ReplyDeleteSeems you’re able to entertain yourself with all sorts of imaginary tales
DeleteCome home to the UK, we all miss you!
ReplyDeleteYou maybe . Not everybody .
DeleteOn what planet do you live ???
DeleteWould you like to come home when you are not welcome anymore, despite the efforts you are doing. It is like in a relationship between man and woman : if it is always the same person (man or wife) who must do an effort the relationship won't last long.
DeleteActually the whole Europe misses some American drama, all we can hope for is another Trump or Markle show…to much focus on Russia, Ukraine, Gaza etc..missing the puppeteers.
DeleteNice to see the Sussexes enjoying Saint-Valentine in British Columbia and giving support to the training camp for the Invictus Games in 2025.
ReplyDeleteThe Calvin Klein doudoune coat looks warm and snug.
I’m surprised that the Calvin Klein winter wear is at affordable prices.
The Duchess’s snow boots are by “Sorel.”
Sorel is a Canadian company established about 60 years ago.
Again, a company with affordable prices.
The Sorel snow boot products are well known amongst the royal ladies e.g. The Princess of Wales and others.
These pictures make me happy! Meghan looks very good and seems to have great time with others. I love her cosy jacket and boots and the crispy white trousers. Harry doesn't look bad either.
ReplyDeleteI was almost depressed when reading the nasty comments of the previous post of Meghan. The same "she is not royal, she is not royal... she is not that and she is not this" and so on, from the people who obviously read and believe only gossips and of course their bible "Daily Mail". What a waste of time!
Depressed by reading other peoples comments? Rather dramatic?
DeleteExactly, I became depressed too reading those comments. It really makes one sad to see how nasty people can be. You begin to feel hopeless for the future of humanity after such an amount of petty hate. Those hate posts really are a waste of time and energy, both for the readers and the writers of those nasty comments (especially for the writers). So it's probably best to just ignore the haters in the future and enjoy the opportunity so see posts about the Sussexes too.
DeleteThey look happy, nice that winter sports will also be included in the Invictus Games in the future.
Paula
Agree completely.
Deletethey bring bad energy to the blog
DeleteAnonymous16/2/24 06:57: they don’t bring bad energy; this is done by the people who make the nasty remarks
DeleteOh Paula, „future of humanity“, really?
DeleteGreat fresh outdoor look on the Duchess. The winter white color is pretty on her. The boots are fun and very Canadian. Hat is cute and needed in this cold. Harry looks in his element.
ReplyDeleteNothing great to see here
ReplyDeleteanother paid holiday for the NON ROYALS who stepped away from royal duty, spewed hurtful, untrue comments about the royal family and claim they want privacy. Helen I am truly saddened you made the choice after the first post to publish this couple, rather than the DoE, Princess Anne, etc. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you, darling. "Spewing hurtful, untrue comments", well, you should know.
Delete@Anon 15:02
DeleteThere are some sites which are 110 % devoted to “Sussex bashing”.
They’d welcome you aboard with open arms.
And you may be able to tell the blog administrator what photos can or can not be published. NOTE: you may be forced to use a nickname.
And here we go again with this non royal bullshit. Why do you even read stories about them when it hurt so much.
Deletedeadeggs and Anon 20:26. High five! Keep up the good work.
DeleteHarry & Meghan: always such a pleasure to see this lovely couple. Here’s praying for a magnificent Invictus Games 2025.
ReplyDeleteLovely couple ?😄😄😄😄
DeleteAgree, lovely couple.
DeleteFabulous couple and can we also remember what a fantastic franchise Invictus is… so many injured service men and women and their families have been helped by this amazing organisation. LRB
DeleteYes they are a lovely couple.
DeleteDisrespectful couple . If they were africans citizen , they would have been already cursed . In Africa, we don't publicly disrespect our parents and elders . Meghan and Harry would be already cursed.
DeleteThe snow does look lovely.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteIndeed it does.It’s a fine shade of snow.The neutrality of its colour,is flattering to the surrounding area!Plus it’s keeping with the season! I’d go as far as to say,this snow could be this years colour! 😂
DeleteBelle allure pour tous les deux ; j'aime beaucoup la doudoune longue de Meghan ainsi que ses bottes de neige !
ReplyDeleteI like Meghan's coat. I also have clothes by Calvin Klein. Good quality one can wear for years. The boots I don't like very much. There are other up to date snow boots I like more. Prince Harry is not dressed very well for the cold. Jeans are not recommended with cold temperatures. The cold does not seems to bother him : his neck is not covered and his jacket is not very thick. Of course he can wear thermic underwear and there are jackets in a special material which are thin but are warmer than a thick jacket (kind of thermic material too).
ReplyDeleteTo my Nordic eyes, it looks like the temperatures might be some degrees above the freezing point, i.e. not so very cold, especially when you have the sun shining from a fairly high position on the sky. If it were really freezingly cold, you would see their breath becoming misty at least in some of the photos.
DeletePaula
@Anon 17:22
DeleteI think Prince Harry’s visit was more to support the people training for the Invictus Games rather than a holiday in the snow.
Or maybe he is one of the lucky ones who have a good tolerance for the cold.
I agree with you Paula.
DeleteT
I like Meghan’s coat. I don’t care for the dark color hat she is wearing with this outfit; I think a lighter color would have coordinated better. Maybe winter white.
ReplyDelete-Royal Watcher
Seems like she really likes wearing beige. She made it sound like she was rather forced to wear it when she was in the BRF to avoid looking to similar to the other women at an event.
ReplyDeleteSweety, that’s called “her truth”.
Delete“Recollections may vary ….”
DeleteIn the meantime beige in all its variations became a fashion color worn with white (like here), with camel, with black, with navy and grey.
DeleteThey both look great. Nice clothing on both.
ReplyDeleteMay they continue on with their good work and continue to be featured on this blog. Thanks to Helen.
- Anon 9:13
I agree!
DeleteLove, love, love them. They look FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteI like the coat, seems nice warm. I hope the Veterans have a great time. It is about them, yes? Hope each and every one is a winner. I wish them all the best for the games. css
ReplyDeleteAll this talk of liking and disliking her! She doesn’t help her own case. IG has been charged £25k for them to charter a private jet to Canada. Now whether you love her or loathe her,the fact that £25k that could be used to the benefit of our much loved veterans,is not a good look! But,hey it left her free to buy her designer bubble coat! Bea
ReplyDeleteThanks Bea. That’s a hefty chunk of money for a little visit to a charity organisation, eh? - AnneLise
DeleteHave you got access to IG financial records...or just making up negativity like the media lemmings.
DeleteJan.
So is the price of the fuel for the helicopter the king and/or the prince of Wales spend on flying from one castle to another. Not to speak about the impact on the climate.
DeletePleas: what is IG?
DeleteComparing HMK to the Sussex’s,well there is no comparison,is there?The King is Head of State!
DeleteThe IG financials are there for anyone to read,if you so wish. I would invite anyone to peruse them.It’s certainly an eye opener!Bea
Att : Bea. Yes the king is head of state and the Sussex's are not spending the king's, mine or your money to fly to Canada. Let it go...
DeleteLet it go you say?We’re not talking the tea fund being spent!We’re talking about the fact that people have donated to the IG thinking the funds were going to the benefit of the beloved veterans!Not hiring private jets or paying for luxury hotels for a couple who already have millions of their own money.If you think that’s an acceptable way for charity funds to be spent,then we’ll have to respectfully agree to disagree. Bea
Delete@Bea 17:46 That "couple who already have have millions of their own money" have also donated millions of their own money to the Invictus Games. They are being paid from a fund they helped to create.
DeleteSecondly, payments are made by the Board of Directors, who authorize or decline Invoices. If you have issue with how the Board is spending the IG funds, write to them to express your displeasure, not this blog.
- Anon 9:13
Anonymous 07:03, so Harry and Meghan want a royal life like Prince William ? I thought they quit it to live like you and me. You're still comparing them with real royals?
Delete@Anon 9:13 - They didn’t create the IG.It was created for Harry to have a purpose post his ‘party boy’ era.
DeleteAs to whom has instructed the payment is neither here nor there.They could have done the honourable thing and refused,sighting they would pay for their travel themselves.
If you’re not comfortable reading my post,I would respectfully suggest scrolling past them, rather than instructing me on what I can and cannot write.
I understand that people support them both and that is a personal choice. I’m not pointing out anything other than facts. Bea
@Bea: Respectfully, unless you were one of the original creators of the IG you can't say that it was solely created to give Harry a purpose, even though that may have been a factor. And even if it was..how many years ago was that? Can't things change? Over the years, the project has obviously become much more significant to him and his wife for all the effort and money they put into it..let alone the positive benefit(s) to the increasing number of veterans of all ages of our current war-torn world.
DeleteMy previous comments have nothing to do with whether I like/support them or not. My comments about who has charge of the purse strings are factual and logical. Your assertion however, on a global forum of many viewpoints, on what is "the honorable thing to do", is personal and therefore debatable in the absence of all the facts.

Anonymous 08:49
DeleteMy answer was to Bea because she found it a scandal that they spent money of the IG to hire a private jet and no they do not want a royal life like Prince William. They are there for the Invictus Games which were created by Prince Harry. Since I am not British I do not compare them with anybody than themselves. You and a lot of other people on this blog still do not understand what the difference is between privacy and a life where you are controlled from morning until evening and even at night, or when you have to go to the MD because you are not feeling well. A life where every move you make is reported to the press. A life where sometimes the press knew before yourself what you were supposed to do or where you were supposed to go that day. I do not wish it to anybody. Privacy does not mean you have to lock yourself up and never come out of your house. They have the right to earn their money like anybody else. Maybe you are jealous that they earn more money than you can dream of. I am not jealous of anyone who earns more money than me. I hope they found the peace they were looking for. I am happy with my life and I hope you are happy with yours. I just hope for myself, my family, for you, for them, for everybody that the future will bring peace for everybody and not war. If that should happen we have the right to complain, not now. We don't realize how good life is.
Excuse me, may I ask for a link to the IG financials that have been mentioned above? Also, in the press no mention was made of IG financing the cost of travel for H&M. I would've thought, the Daily Fail would have reported about this in great detail and on a daily basis. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Sanna
Delete@Anon:13.As I said previously. If you personally think that spending that amount of money on luxury travel and accommodation for two people,then that’s your prerogative!I personally think,that our beloved veterans deserve and need every penny of the charity money,irrespective of where the donations originated from.Bea
Delete@Bea. May I respectfully ask for proof of this accusation? It seems to me, nobody but you has found out who paid for travel and accommodations. No doubt, some papers would have had a field-day, spreading this all over Page One, had they found out. Can you back up your claim? Since you're so adamant on this issue, I think you wouldn't mind to share your source and maybe provide a link. After all, accusing H&M of misspending IG funds is a serious accusation. Thanks. Sanna
Delete@bea: Show us proof that the IG paid that much to them outside of whatever agreement they had with the Board. Until you do so (since none of us can find any evidence of this) your argument is not only baseless but untruthful. Shame.
Delete- Anon 9:13
@Anon 9:13. Bea had no problem posting five comments accusing the Sussexes of misconduct, yet she can't find the time to back up her claim. Strange. Or wait, maybe this was just her opinion presented as fact, and she didn't get around to telling us that she made this up. Better yet, let's call it a lie. There is so much hate-speech sugarcoated as "opinion" whenever H&M show up, it boggles the mind. And people wonder why the Sussexes did what they did. Thank you for your well thought-out comments. Sanna
DeleteI see what you’re doing with your insults! Sticks and stones…!
DeleteInstead of blindly believing the charity isn’t forking out thousands for H&M, why don’t YOU do a simple search of the IG accounts filed,maybe the Düsseldorf papers,and have a look yourself! That way,you can see the information for yourself! And while we’re at it,let’s keep things respectful,if only out of respect for Hellen! Bea
Bea, still no proof. You accused them of misspending, you should be able to provide a source or link. That would be respectful too. Now you're bringing up some Düsseldorf papers, more allegations. Bringing the blogowner into this shows how weak your case is. Let's call it quit, this is not going anywhere.
DeleteEveryone is well rugged up, must be very cold. Looks like so much fun on the snow.
ReplyDeleteLove Meghan's outfit. She is dressed appropriately to fit in well with the Invictus athletes and other guests. Calvin Klein is good designer choice . Certainly not top of the line and the boots look so warm for the temperatures.
ReplyDeleteCan't think of a better cause to support than injured and recuperating veterans . These folks are such brave warriors!!
Can we please grow up and start to behave as adults. It's pathetic that so called grown ups spread so much hate because they belive the royal rotas hate agenda narrative. And please the non working royals are getting to old and to stupid.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna mention all this nastiness. People have made their bed and no they can lie in the mud while they think about what it says about how low and how nasty they are. Ups, have you seen... Meghan looks stunning. Love the coat, love the boots. Love the colours. Love everything she's wearing. This is a great cause. And I for one, love seeing this couple, and want to read about them, but I think Helene should start censore the hate comment they get. It's not personal opinion, it's pure hate. And this is a blog, not a decmocray with free speech.
ReplyDeleteJust made a quick summary.
DeleteOn Friday 16 February, you can note that 56 comments were made on this fashion blog regarding The Duke and Duchess’s visit to Canada.
Just a quick count shows that at least 27 comments didn’t make a mention about fashion; mainly made negative, derogatory comments about the Sussexes.
The remaining 29 comments were either concentrating 100% on fashion or a mix of fashion and some positive comments about the Sussexes.
It would be good if the anti-Sussexes found another site to express their views/opinions. There's plenty around.
Bet you like banning books too…
DeleteTotally agree, and people who don’t like them should just scroll on by. There are some individuals covered on this blog who I have no interest in, I certainly don’t hate them, and I just don’t click on those links. LRB
Deletedeadeggs, sounds like you have an issue with freedom of speech. Negative/positive comments are found on every blog. You seem to feel you have an insight on this blog that no one else should question. I question it every time I see your nickname, rather than using your real name. Janet
DeleteLouise, since when are negative comments "hate" comments? I have never seen anyone use the word, or phrase, I hate so&so' on this blog. Point it out if you would. Seems like you are trying to censor the people making honest comments about their personal opinions. Take a lesson, it is called freedom of speech.
DeleteI for myself am glad so many commenters recognize and loath indecent, untrustful, fake and disloyal behaviour and get the creeps of it!
DeleteMabel
@Janet 20:50
DeleteYou have my real name staring you in the face.
My real name is also my nickname, that is, Madame de AdeGgs.
If you join the letters together in my family name, you get the word “deadeggs”.
People prefer to call me Mrs or Madame Deadeggs as it’s much easier to pronounce.
Deadeggs, ich fürchte, jeder erntet, was erSie säht…
DeleteMeghan looks great. This outfit (and the snow) makes her glow. I like the boots and coat, the rest I don't care much for. Maybe it is the weight-loss, but she has suddenly lost that youthfull look to her face and is looking her age - which is not a bad thing at all, I'm a huge supporter of aging gracefully so it is good to see people look their natural self. Usually that is the price we have to pay in the post 40, either you are slim or you add a little weight to gain the fat back to the face.
ReplyDeleteLovely cause and I hope to catch the 2025 Invictus Games. I didn't care much for it last year due to location, my country is not on good terms with Germany.
T
I love M’s style. She usually looks really great, especially for when she’s dressed casual. Super look !
ReplyDeleteSadly so many haters, I thought I read that they still wanted to carry out some official duties part-time when they moved to California. Is that so bad. Why can't we just get along! Fitzhugh
ReplyDeleteWhere do you read haters? Again, opinions are opinions, you should live with that.
DeleteMeanwhile, The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, the hardest working REAL Royal, is not Helen's focus on this blog, though she is fashionable, wears wonderful outfits, and the latest of her nearly DAILY engagements can be found https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13092515/
ReplyDeleteWhy not start your own blog then? Many of us love Helene’s choices of not just working royals but many royal adjacents. Princess Anne’s style is a great if you like recycling, at which she is clearly the winner. But I much prefer Duchess of Gloucester’s style . LRB
DeleteYes…more of Princess Anne. She’s a hard working, smart, no nonsense lady who doesn’t suffer fools. She’s not a spoiled, not very intelligent whiner who is full of self pity over a very privileged life and would never throw her family under the bus. She knows how to be royal!
ReplyDeleteCertains commentaires sont tellement surfaits. Vous prenez faites et causes pour des questions qui ne vous concernes pas. Vous pensez que les royaux sont géniaux et parfaits. Regardez la série sur Netflix et dites moi que Harry et Meghan sont mauvais et méchants. Allez demander à Margareth la soeur de la reine, ld mari de la reind ou encore les cousines enfermées dans un asile à cause d’un déficience… Ils ont parlé de leurs ressenties, acceptons le. Dieu demande de pardonner qui êtes vous pour si peut de clémence… Vous ne savez pas de quoi est fait demain. Peut être ferez pire. Ils n’ont tue personne que l’on sache ils ont exprimé leur douleur du moment.
ReplyDeleteD'accord! Merci

DeleteEt vous croyez aux mensonges de Harry et Meghan ? 😄😄😄. Vous êtes une " Sussex squadie" ? Ça se comprend.

ReplyDeleteThere are so many new posts about H & M. Is this the new norm? Not trying to offend but it is a real downer to see them after they have incessantly trashed their "royal" family for years and have spread so much hate to their royal family. I come to this site to get a break from all the hate in this world so I'm going to have to find a new site for enjoyable reading if that's the case. I used to love them but there is no excuse for publicly trasing your own family repeatedly. Notice ho NO ONE who they trash reciprocated and there are always two sides to a story. That is what true class is. Those constantly saying they are the victim while throwing darts are not really the victims. The real victims are the ones they publically betrayed and trashed. Very sad to leave this blog.
ReplyDeleteDear, do try to find new companions. I am truly distressed that the company you keep are forcing you to read entries on a fashion blog that distress you. No one should have to live that way. We should all be free to choose what we view and what we don't. You seem to be part of a group of victims that have been stripped of their freedoms. Everyone should have the the freedom to scroll by a post they believe will endanger their health! If you or any other visitors to this blog are being held captive and unable to exercise your right to scroll past posts, send a message. We will try to send you help.
DeleteAnon 03.11, Markle is that you?
DeleteNo, I'm Cath...oh, shit!
DeleteAt heart, she isn’t a person who understands personal style. She picks things despite them not being flattering on her. This coat is swallowing her up. The bright white skinny jeans, which are rather out of fashion, clash with the coat and ivory sweater. The black beanie does nothing for the outfit. She would have been better off picking black pants as that would have set off the coat and sweater better and coordinated with her hat. Grace
ReplyDeleteCouldn't disagree more even if I tried.
