The Duke and Duchess first watched a special game at a basketball court at Ilupeju Senior Grammar School. In the afternoon, the Duke and Duchess attended a private meeting with Babjide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, at the State Governor House.

This skirt is beautiful, hand made, local african craft. Those kitschy golden sandalettes make it unjustice.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt with the crisp white shirt is a smart combination.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow dress looks great against her skin color.
I wish she would wear more bright colors like this.
The yellow dress looks beautiful. But without intending to be offensive I do have to agree with other comments of previous days that the cleavage of the beige dress is far too low. And not because it is a Muslim country but simply because of the fact that this is an official visit. And therefore I personally would have left the Hollywood glam at home and kept my wardrobe more businesslike or at least appropriate for a school visit etc. I.P.
ReplyDeleteThis is not an official visit. They aren't there on behalf of the british royal family or the UK. This is a private visit. Meghan can wear what ever she wants even Queen Elisabeth in 1956 showed cleavage and had bare arms, and shoulders.

With Meghan it is NEVER a private visit which is just the way she wants it.
Delete@ I.P.
DeleteWhen do you and others will understand that Harry and Meghan are there because of their own projects and business affairs and have nothing to do any more with the RF or the UK. They are not working royals any more and are only responsible for their own business projects like in any other business company. They can dress how they want and when they want. There are people on this blog who like to read about them and others like yourself who don't. The best publicity they can have is from people like you. If you hate them so much the best to do is to ignore them or scroll down. You are making a fool of yourself each time you and other haters are writing down their stupid comments over and over again.
Dear Anon 17:37
DeleteFirst: I wrote that I don't want to offend anybody
Second: I don't hate anybody so don't assume I hate them
Third: you are right. Everybody can and should dress the way they want. But this is a fashion blog and I just gave my personal opinion to which I am entitled to
And last: I do mind people who reply in such a disrespectful way you did. Maybe it would be better to reread ones sentences and relax before reacting in such an aggressive manner.
With all respect. I.P.
@I.P. You wrote that so respectfully and carefully. @17:37 your response and calling the previous commenter a fool is really snarky. People here are entitled to have opposing views, as long as they write kindly. Calling others fools and haters is not kind and it’s actually pretty ugly. - Bob
DeleteNigeria isn't a Muslim country..
Delete@I.P. Again, for you and the people in the back, your idea of "Hollywood" is comical. Nicer clothes, clothes that have some style to them, do not translate to Hollywood. You are probably accustomed to very conservative attire, (the British Royals come to mind). There is an entire range of fashion between Royal Conservative and Hollywood. It has been said on this blog in the past that the so-called Hollywood elite are not recognizable in their everyday lives, probably dressing worse than the rest of us. When they do dress in their "Hollywood" looks, they are not dresses like Meghan is wearing here. Please educate yourself. When Hollywood is used on this site, it is always meant as an insult.
Delete@1:03. Personal attacks “educate yourself”, etc claiming you are right and putting down the other for being wrong in your eyes are not welcome here. We comment on the fashion and don’t attack each other. Opposing views are fine, but they are all opinion and not right nor wrong so be kind along the way. Also, please add your name or initials. (Bob)
Delete@"Bob" I have been here for years and used my signature for years. The reason I no longer sign my name is not something I care to share with you. "Please educate yourself", which is what I wrote, is not a personal attack. Don't start trouble. Everything I wrote is the truth. It may be that the people here get too much of their information from gossip rags, but fashion wise, these styles are not "Hollywood". I could easily buy similar styles, and Meghan often wears brands that are readily sourced. She dresses high-low (mixing high and low end brands), which makes it easy to elevate a simple outfit. Having a more clean style makes it easier to copy that look as well. I know her looks are not what many consider European, but that does not make them over the top, red carpet looks. That is where a little education comes in. Promoting a film is different than promoting a cause, even if a red carpet is involved. While her taste is different that what is usually seen here, I find it refreshing. It is certainly never over the top as Hollywood can be. That fashion serves a different purpose.
Delete@Bob: Thank you for your kind words. Honestly I felt miserable after anon's attacks. I never intend to hurt anybody and I am an educated person. Questioning my intelligence was out of place. That being said I do hope that writing about one's personal opinion can be tolerated next time I.P.
DeleteI.P. You’re welcome. To tell each other off for having the wrong opinion is ludicrous and sometimes it is pretty offensively done, which is terrible in what is meant to just be a fun blog! For some reason the Meghan posts bring out the worst in people and there’s a small snarky contingent telling people who have the “wrong opinion” not just that they’re “wrong” but they need to change! Bob.
DeleteI love all these outfits. All her dresses an jewelry were beautiful during this trip. Also Prince Harry was looking good all the time. I hope she had the time to find out about her Nigerian roots.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think she looks great.
DeleteSono d'accordo con il tuo commento.

Dear admin, Meghan and Harry are neither on an official tour and nor representing the UK or the British monarchy since March 2020. And they are only constantly bashing the royal family which is inappropriate. For these reasons please avoid to post about these non-working royals on their PR-tours. Thank you very much in advance.
ReplyDeleteGive it a rest. If you don't want to read skip it, and let others read. Then you can go back to like reading and commenting on non working royals like Zara, Bea, Eugenie, Madeleine, Märtha and others...
DeleteWe have been here before. You can choose not to read… but you should not tell the blog owner what she should do. She blogs about many non working royals all the time… Zara, the York sisters are just two examples. They are in Nigeria representing Invictus, they are NOT claiming to be on a royal tour, so stop all this nonsense. Learn the art of ‘scrolling on by’ for issues that are of no interest to you. LRB
DeleteDear Renee, Meghan and Harry are not constantly bashing the royal family. The Duke of Sussex’s book laid out his life’s story from his perspective, which he had every right to do. If the royal family came out badly in the book, that is on them. Since then, they have stopped talking about the family. This couple are members of the British royal family and always will be. They may be estranged from parts of the family at present, but that does not change the fact that Harry is a son of the King. His and Meghan’s children are Prince and Princess. They have stepped down as senior working royals but continue in their good works for Invictus and other projects as independent individuals. Helen covers their activities properly here. Fashion observation is that Meghan’s yellow dress is beautiful and suits her well.
DeleteTotally agree with you, Renee on all points.

I like the arrival outfit. The white shirt and sarong looks very cool. The yellow dress is very elegant. I don´t like the draping of the last dress. Too much fabric up front on her slim body is not a good look
ReplyDeleteWell said, my thoughts as well. I love the look of the crisp white blouse with the sarong skirt, so fresh looking

ReplyDeleteCertaines n'ont toujours pas compris que ce blog est dédié à la mode.
ReplyDeleteLa relation d'Harry et Meghan avec la famille royale ne nous concerne pas.
La responsable de ce blog est libre de diffuser les images qui lui plaisent.
Il existe d'autres blogs ou vous pourriez cracher votre venin,défendre la famille royale et pourquoi pas par la même occasion devenir leur avocat.
Ce qui vous dérange, c'est de voir ce couple,amoureux comme aux premiers jours.
Meghan est élégante de la tête aux pieds et Harry respire la joie de vivre.
Je leur souhaite la santé et d'être amoureux jusqu'aux derniers jours de leur vie.
Idem pour leurs enfants.
Valentine.
DeleteJe suis tout à fait d'accord avec vous. Je n'aurais pas pu le dire mieux.
The skirt is quite nice. The yellow dress is a cheerful color but looks voluminous on Meghan - but I can see perhaps why she might have chosen it to wear with the fabric that is draped over her left shoulder (I don’t know the correct term for it). The polo outfit looks ill-fitting and unflattering.
ReplyDelete-Royal Watcher
The “fabric “ was actually a beautiful shawl, gifted from the govenor's wife
Delete@Anonymous 20:24 - Thank you for the information, I did not know what the right term for it is. I agree, it’s beautiful, as is the other shawl in the same picture.
Delete-Royal Watcher
The Sussexes now represent the kingdom of the United States? Last time I checked, the US was a republican union and the UK had not given them a mandate to represent them.
ReplyDeleteStephanie
The Sussexes DEFINITELY DO NOT represent my county, me, or anyone I know.
DeleteMeghan looks fabulous in every outfit. And can we please stop embarrassing ourselves. Isn't time we started acting like adults?
ReplyDeleteNit
DeleteNot feeling embarrassed, personally. Glad we can express ourselves politely but critically.
Spot on - acting like adults is the only right thing to do.
DeleteEverytime we read comments about Meghan I get a flashback to what we have read about the Wallis, The Duchess of Windsor situation. She got the same treatment. Guess we haven't learned a thing the last 87 years. We must be proud.
ReplyDeleteThe Duchess of Windsor was also a selfish and manipulative woman who spoilt the life of an English Prince. At least Harry has his kids
DeleteI have read several biographies of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and I don’t think they were treated unfairly given their Nazi contacts, profligate spending, etc.
DeleteThank you ladies you proved my point.
DeleteWindsor reminds on Thomas Kingston who die on 45 in February 2024. He was husband to Lady Gabriella and a friend of Prince William and Princess Kate and the King.

DeleteAnd also to I.P. and to Bob
I MAY NOT CALL CERTAIN PEOPLE HATERS. Read carefully what Anonymous 23:45 is writing. It is what a hater writes, not me.
This is what she/he is pretending. If you call Prince Harry's wife selfish and a manipulative woman who spoilt the life of an English Prince you are giving proof of a hater. By the way there were others who spoilt his life a longtime before he get to know Meghan. Today they are looking very happy together and much in love. I do not have the impression that his life is spoilt. But that is what the haters wish isn't it ?
What on earth is the point of the yellow sheet with the striped towel over her shoulder? Meghan can look good, the cream dress is nice as we’re both the white and red dresses yesterday but the yellow one reminds me of one of these things you change under on the beach.
ReplyDeleteEither your ignorance is showing or you were very clumsy in your attempt at an insult. You can see she is not alone in what she is wearing. It is a reasonable assumption that it is a cultural garment without knowing anymore than the fact that she is in Nigeria. She is wearing an absolutely stunning dress (a rewear), and has been gifted shawl. If you don't have the information, you can ask and someone here may know. If not, look it up. It is easy enough to find out. If your only point is to be one more toxic person on a fashion blog, why bother?
Delete@21:44, that’s isn’t a towel, is a typical garment used by Nigerian women, and was gifted to Meghan by the Governor’s wife. One can dislike an outfit without being tacky and rude, not to mention your ignorant comment.
DeleteCB
I always feel like her looks are missing something. I don't know, but it seems like she wears her outfits in a hurry and doesn't plan them beforehand, especially when it comes to the accessories.
ReplyDeleteDon't understand why the yellow dress is a very long to sweep the floor with. The last dress is not a good fit, it looks nice, but something is sure missing on top. Sorry, this must be the must be seen tour. css
ReplyDeleteHmmm selectively memory? How many times have we seen English royal ladies in dresses so long they have stepped all over themselves without a I don't understand comment?

Did you understand when British royals stepped on their long dresses, like Kate when she stepped on her wedding dress?
DeleteAs a daughter of Nigeria in the diaspora, I believe the Duchess represented herself extremely well. She was respectful in a multi-faith, future oriented country. Until they are stripped of their titles--they are royal.
ReplyDeleteWell Harry is a prince by birth he cannot be stripped of that. To strip them of their duchy titles can only be done by the government. Frankly with everything going on in the world I do not think I want my elected government wasting time on debating this. Let’s look at world issues, pot holes ( everybody in the UK will understand how critical that is!) , education, the NHS…. And on and on. I don’t like Camilla having the title Queen, but I live with it. Live with Harry being a royal duke… he is the son of our reigning monarch. LRB
DeleteThey will always be royal in their own minds.

ReplyDeleteHow do some writers on this Blog got on this point of awful, empty, thoughtlessness political (racism \facism) voilence?

Don't allow your Blog or your politics to become inhuman.
If you really love the world, like Harry and Meghan you must have the courage to protect it (like H&M) - to disobey.
Finally this visit is over! Now they can go back to California and deal with the fact that their Archewell Foundation has been declared "delinquent" by the California Registry of Charities and Fundraisers. They failed to submit required annual reports(s) and/or renewal fees. Problems just follow her everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt was a tiny little fault. The check had disappeared. When they found out they sent a new one. There is something completely wrong with our life and ourselves when our bitterness and hate comes out against fellow human beings we don't even know. Have you ever wondered what does this say about us as a person? What we send out into the world? If we call ourselves Christian what do we think our God thinks about his child? Is this what our faith teach us Jesus stood for? Is this the way we want to be treated, because this goes both ways. Remember karma. Just dumbfounded about the so called grown up human race. No wonder kids are bullying each other to death. We are really setting good examples.
DeleteThe Archewell Foundation did submit the required filings on time, but the accompanying payment check was reportedly never received by the Registry. Upon receiving the delinquency notice, the foundation acted swiftly by sending a new check, expecting the matter to be resolved and updated in the records within the next seven business days. The truth is good enough...
DeleteI wonder who they (Harry and Meghan) represent?
ReplyDeleteI kind of instinctively don't believe people who talk about compassion and love to complete strangers and don't want to meet her own father who raised her.
Mia
Maybe because he sold his daughter to the press. Mette-Marit had to do the same thing with her father when he started selling stories to the press. Diana had a difficult relationship with her mother, who she said let me down terribly with my wedding. In the last few months of Diana's life, Shand Kydd would write her daughter letters, but they would be returned unopened. Do you see the trend? Not all families can cope with having a member marrying into a royal family. Can't we stop this? Please.
Delete@Mia When you read tabloids, I suppose that is the confusion you would have. Not all parents put their children first. While most parents live by the adage, "You are only as happy as your unhappiest child", some parents are quite happily unattached. It is difficult to understand how parent/child relationships become toxic, especially for people that are lucky enough to be blessed with healthy relationships. Sadly, it can happen. The older I get, the more I see it. As a last resort, the healthy choice is to live more separated lives. Instead of speculating about things we can't possibly know the absolute truth about, we should mind our own business.
DeleteTo Anon 19:54
DeleteWhat stories - in the beginning it was after all, the paparazzi took pictures of him while trying on his suit for wedding - he gave them a tip. No crime. It was proven that she also did something like that before the wedding., when she was actress.
(Besides, Diana was angry with her mother, but they reconciled. I guess she really knew how to forgive, not just having nice words about it.)
Mia
And also: Don't Harry and Meghan do the same? Don't they sell to the world stories about the royal family (book, movies)?
DeleteMia Di didn't talk with her mother and returned her letters unopened in the months leading up to her death. So much for reconsiled. 6:04 Harry told his story. His mother told her story, and his father told his story. When Charles told his story we learned his father was a bully, who mocked him and made his childhood lonely. He also said his father forced him into a loveless marriage when he forced him to marry Diana, and his mother was cold and to busy being Queen. All this according to Charles. So why do we hate Harry for telling his story?
DeleteWhy? because Harry doesn't just tell "his story". The fact that he talks nonsense about the first time he was with a woman outside a pub in a field (no gentleman would do that) or how he took drugs, that's his business. But Harry drags his brother into his whining... He's jealous of his older brother, calls him his "archenemy", gets mad at Kate over little things like lip gloss or stupid clothes. It causes them stress, no wonder stress then increases the risk of disease.
DeleteI am never going to understand how a family can bear children for the purpose of fulfilling particular roles/jobs. It is a very cruel practice. We all know that it has come up with generations in the past that their dreams and desires have been shot down because of their royal status and expectations. Royals of the past haven't been able to live their own lives due to being born "royal". This includes who they will marry and how they can live their lives, even what they can name their children. Charles was very outspoken about his upbringing, and yet he made many mistakes himself. He chose time with Camilla over time with his young family. He focused on William over Harry. Charles has never been a parent first, following royal tradition, because children are born to fulfill roles. I do have hope for William as I see the way he has put his family first during Kate's medical leave, but he is still his father's son. This is a terribly sad situation all around. This once close family has imploded because Harry chose to step back. If it was put in any other context, "My son doesn't want to work at my company so I am going to disown him!", the world would see the father as a bully. Children have a right to live their own lives and deserve to be loved by their family for being independent, not being disowned for it. If he had been allowed to work as a part time royal, as I believe he wanted to do when Archie was born, things could look very different now. At the very least, Charles needs to remember his public displeasures about his parents and the fact that he wasn't disowned for it.
DeleteIt looks like the people of the UK don't want him to represent them even part time. He only wants to choose lucrative engagements and also use the royal title to make money. He wants pomp, he wants to be important.
DeleteThe skirt is well crafted and looks good with the blouse. The yellow dress however, is too ill fitting, large and shapeless. The color is glorious.
ReplyDeleteYou do understand that this is a maternity dress. She was pregnant on both occasions when it was worn, first with the miscarried child and then with Lily. Perhaps there is some significance to wearing it on mother's day.
DeleteIt is loose, cool for 90 degree weather, one of the Invictus colors, and a perfect foil for the gifted shawl and the governor's head wear.
If nothing, we are consistent.
There are lots of Sussex squad members on this board. You can see they were in full force working mode. Why is so? Meghan and Harry were on a private tour in Nigeria, she can dress, whatever she wants because she is a private citizen not representing the royal family. Her dresses are good for her as a celebrity which she choose to be one but lack of the elegance and decency as a royal.
ReplyDeleteDecency of a royal?? Which one??
