Perhaps she has a more modern approach to being "ladylike". Or maybe she doesn't care about such misogynistic descriptors (When was the last time a man was told to dress more gentleman-like? IMO, these terms are used to keep women in their so-called place). The dress is actually a maternity...

I totally agree. I appreciate Meghan--she seems to be doing a great job--but this is "belly-cupping" taken to new levels. Of course pregnant women can touch their bellies for many reasons, and I wouldn't think twice about it if it had been an occasional movement. I do think it was probably done...

I also think it goes to show that Charles has his publicity machine on full throttle. It's a nice article, but it is carefully crafted to show him in the best light--which is fine, who wouldn't want their best side showing? I would appreciate a more well-rounded story; accurate, showing the good...

I really dislike it when people refer to a yet to be born baby as a “bump”. It is part of their generation I guess, and also a common media term, so I should get used to it. I know that parents-to-be go through different stages when adjusting to pregnancy, so I guess they don’t see the “bump” as...

The Duchess' look was stunning. The dress fit her perfectly, the fabric was luxurious, her tiara hair was perfection. I wasn't sure that I liked the dress colour, but really that is a minor issue as she looks great. In my opinion, it was fashionable, if slightly conservative formal wear and...

The visit to the market was a solo engagement for the Duchess. We have seen that Harry sometimes intervenes with crowd/contact issues as they relate to Meghan. She is a very capable person, but without Harry, she may have been feeling a bit more vulnerable. She may also need time to trust her...

Of course we have no way of knowing, but if she has already had a 12 week scan, she is likely more than 12 weeks pregnant. Further, the picture of her in the white dress suggests to me that she is closer to 16 weeks. Having said that, different women show differently. Whatever the due date, it's...

It is too bad that this happened...she is a teenager and teens tend to feel these things deeply. Maybe Louise’s mother Sophie could give her some advice on how to avoid this problem...she seems to have figured it out. (Of course, teens don’t usually take advice too readily).

Diane had many serious mental health challenges but to ascribe this particular behavior to a "serious imbalance" is way over the top.

The dress has an architectural and classic feel. A bold choice and a good one. If her hair had been styled in a bun, for example, the look would have been far too stiff and confined. If it were in a loose bun, with loose strands, people would complain about that too. Her hair is fine and she...

I expect the hose colour was a deliberate choice to create a blended line with the dress and shoes. I can't criticize it. She is very thin and she has shown in past official outings that she tends to wear more loosely fitted clothes (I am thinking of her blouse/skirt/jacket outfits). I don't...

The American bishop was not cringe worthy. He was sincere and emphatic. I don’t think Harry was embarrassed. To assume so is pure supposition based on nothing more than reading a look, which could have meant many things. I did suspect that there would be some pearl-clutching at anything in the...

Her wedding dress was stunning, elegant and chic. The veil should be longer than the train, and in a modern esthetic, the veil becomes the train. The dress does not compete with the beauty of the chapel but complements it. Perfect.

Yes, it could be really fun, or---not. Personally, I would never count on a 2 year old (prime tantrum age) to behave. If I were the child's mother, I would be so anxious, and then embarrassed. However, not my wedding, so I don't get a vote! They will be awfully cute together.

I visited Schonbrunn Palace a few years ago. As I was walking around, I wondered--what were the circumstances surrounding the departure of the last royal occupant/s? For example, were they eating their breakfast when a message came from the government that they would have to leave the palace...

Cake choices are really personal. Personally I prefer a mix of pound cake and fruit cake, as is the tradition in my part of the world, but it is up to the bride and groom. Frankly, even if one is of the opinion that it should be more "traditional", we should remember that she is already giving...

In the Catholic tradition, when adults are baptised, it is very common for confirmation to immediately follow. These sacraments are often part of the Easter Vigil service. When a person is baptized as an infant, it makes sense to be confirmed several years later when one is able to understand...

Nurse-midwives are an integral part of the health care system in the UK. They are very well educated and very competent. I would rather have a UK midwife delivery my baby than a general practitioner anyday.

Maybe. But a mature parent, secure in a relationship with the child, would not think twice. I expected the remark would cause a stir, but I really doubt that it has caused a stir with anyone who matters to Harry or Meghan.

It is really dangerous to isolate BRF members like Harry by buying in to the narrative that they are different and that is why we watch them. They are not puppets, they are flesh and blood with aspirations and motivations. They are privileged, and the best of them are trying to use their...

Megan's family relationships may be even more complex than they seem to be from the outside looking in. He may have been speaking very literally. I seem to recall he spoke of Catherine as the "sister he never had" or something like that. In any case, he may regret using such loaded language.

In my view, racism is still very present in our society. Situations like PM's brooch-wearing arise (at best) from ignorance. People of colour live with the impact this ignorance every day. For the BRF, I suspect it may be at times challenging to have to confront their own perspectives and...

A gap doesn't necessarily mean that braces are required, and braces are not necessarily prescribed to fix a gap. In my opinion, if there is no misalignment, and only a gap, braces are unnecessary.

I loved the Duchess of Cambridge's look. Plaid/tartan is never out of style and the cut of the coat was not old fashioned.
