And the Daily Mail has the photos.

The Daily Mail article about the shopping trip has pictures of Meghan. They are, as far as I can tell, new.

I was pointing out that the reason the Express didn't have the pictures from the trip they were writing about was that the DM seems to have scooped them up.

 

[Pranter]

The only pics of Meghan I can find are the ones from November of 2016 when she was out shopping in London.

The DM is claiming the photos are from today, so unless they're mistaken, these appear to be new photos.

Thanks soapstar! I couldn't find them for some reason!


LaRae

Any idea who the blonde woman with her is?


LaRae

 

[soapstar]

You're welcome! The woman is Sarah Chapman. She owns the skincare store Meghan visited.

 

[Rudolph]

I think wearing shades on an overcast London afternoon is a bit much. I’m not a big fan of her style.

Ah..wonder if she was just escorting her to a car or why she was walking with her..oh maybe they are friends?

I love the grey/black look. I think the sunglasses are just an attempt to block the paps a little. IIRC we've seen this done before by members of the BRF too. Head down also.

Based on old social media post, I do think they are friendly.

Gotcha, thanks! We know she's been going back/forth to London even before she met Harry so it makes sense she has friends we don't even know about too.

[Dman]

Well, there’s our confirmation!

Overcast skies can reflect an incredible glare if you have really light sensitive eyes, speaking as someone who can be seen regularly wearing "shades" all year round. Clear skies are often wonderful, no glare at all!

I think her style is definitely her own but the DF writers describing her jeans as skin tight are obvious loose and wrinkly!! ?

US Weekly upped their reporting and is saying an engagement announce in Jan and wedding in the summer. Something about Harry commissioning a ring using diamonds from a brooch Diana owned.

Nope. Not buying it. Perhaps if People mag or another more reliable source reports the same, then give it more consideration.

This is certainly an exciting time though and I do think an announcement will come by January.

People magazine hasn’t been a fully reliable source in a very long time.

 

[Pranter]

I do hope it's true he's using family diamonds to make her a ring!

The real clincher of course will be a couple of photos of Harry and Meghan over the next day or two. I'm really hoping for that, though the fact that she is in London and looks as if she has quickly organised storage of her things is great. It's intriguing that Meghan was visiting a swimwear store though. Perhaps a trip away somewhere warm, though probably not the Caribbean?

 

[CTchic]

I love that Meghan looks so chic and not trying to emulate anyone else's style. It is her own and she rocks it!

Meghan Markle Prepares to Move Into Kensington Palace

I saw this and believe it to be true. However, I'm not buying that US weekly knows anything about an engagement announcement or ring. And I say that as someone who loves the idea of Harry giving Meghan a ring made with diamonds owned by his mother but I'm going to need more proof than an US Weekly "exclusive".

The Archbishop of Canterbury has been asked and have no obligations, according to Richard Palmer from the Daily Express sources-

I wonder why Meghan was not at the anniversary dinner since she was in town? I know she and Harry are not engaged yet but the optics are kinda bad here. Where there any other girlfriend and boyfriends present?

Jack wasn't there also

No, only spouses attended.

Nope not even Eugenie's boyfriend of 7 years was there.

No bad optics. Eugenie’s boyfriend Jack was not there either.

The idea of bad optics doesn't fit into the picture here. It was a family gathering to celebrate a private family occasion. The public and what they would see, hear or think never, at any time, entered the picture.

 

[Madame Verseau]

Ok. Thanks for the info. No ring no bring applied here. Some of the DM commentors we're cackling with glee that Meghan wasn't there; proof her no show = a no go for the wedding. DM didn't bother to mention long time significant others were not on the guest list. I think the naysayers will have a meltdown if the engagement is announced.

US Weekly takes a little truth and embellishes it. People usually has the most reliable sources. Star magazine and the Enquirer are useless trashfic.

I would assume the plan was to lay low until the anniversary was celebrated. I think the different palaces are working together so that events are not overshadowed. For example without any Meghan and Harry news Charles's tour was not overshadowed and The Queen's anniversary was the primary news. Now they are free to be seen.
