    The Duchess of Sussex's Fashion and Style Part 1: November 2023 -

    The long red dress with the spaghetti straps had some nice qualities. I read that it is from a Nigerian designer. The color is great on Meghan. She glows in red. The flouncy hemline was fun and festive. I just wish more attention was paid to way it fit her in the waist and hips area.

    I may be way off here, but here goes. Nigeria's biggest trade partner is the UK. In the past few years, the volume of business with the UK has been on the decline. Still the biggest trade partner, but less volume. Could it be that Nigeria inviting H and M is a bit of aggro directed at the UK...

    I do not like the peach-colored maxi dress for on her. The bare back seemed inappropriate and unflattering to her skin tone. On the other hand, that white pants suit was dynamite. Fitted, flattering and appropriate. A fabulous look on her. She really knocked it out of the park with that.

    I think that the King is being very cautious for health reasons. Close exposure to someone who just got off a plane from another country could seriously jeopardize the King's health.

    Regarding cooking shows... The trend nowadays seems to be quick rat-a-tat-tat heavily edited FB Reels or Instagram vids that show highlights and refer viewers to a website or comment where the recipe can be accessed. The longer full-blown cooking episodes that also feature floral arrangements...

    Jewels for sale: Worthy additions to royal collections

    I just read that both Sotheby's and Christie's are jointly evaluating the collection of jewels previously owned by Imelda Marcos. The collection is comprised of 700 lots (!) and is all fine jewels, a number with historical royal provenance. If this all comes to auction, it will surpass the...

    Scoop (2024) Netflix Film about the Newsnight Interview of the Duke of York

    I watched it. It made me have more sympathy for Andrew, his cringe-worthy statements aside. I didn't expect that to happen.

    The Jimmy Savile playbook right there. Align yourself with a Royal in the public eye and you have credibility.

    The business model seems very similar to the plans Sarah DoY announced in 2020. She was introducing three brands -- Ginger & Moss, The Duchess Collection and Fergie's Farm. The products planned varied from teas, textiles, wallpaper, preserves, china, candles and much more. The Fergie's Farm...

    Good luck to her. I follow a bunch of TV chefs. Lidia, Martha, The Test Kitchen, Jacques Pepin, Stanley Tucci, it is all very enjoyable viewing. I wish her the success they have had.

    The cut of the SXSW ensemble is not flattering. Nor is the color. The oversized trendy aspect of the outfit is something I like, but the waist area is a disaster. I assume it is off the rack and not tailored for her. The fabric looks like the delicate silk used for the lining of gentlemen's...

    I agree, HRHH. Harry has been very open about that period of his life. I just can't see Meghan sitting with Katie discussing women's issues in a cordial manner given the unflattering description of Harry in Katie's book. Meghan's personality (as far as I can determine from my little perch) is...

    Katie Couric? Katie wrote a memoir in which she described an interview with Prince Harry. She stated that he "reeked of cigarettes" and alcohol seemed to "ooze from every pore" of his body. The interview was in 2012, a time that Harry refers to as a period when he relied on alcohol...
