I have to say she is getting crazy mileage out of these shoes..haha. I have long lost count of how many times she has worn them. Not that I blame her - they are a magnificent pair of classic black pumps with a twist. And by now I imagine they are probably her most comfortable pair.

Many thanks for the links to the photos Sun Lion.
Seems the photographers couldn't get the chance for a decent photo.
At the podium the lighting was very poor.
But never mind the surprise of a great dress made up for it.

The awards were a great combination event fir the interests of both the couple. Environment for Harry and women for Meghan.

Had to smile when Harry says his father used to bore him. May be true but it obviously sunk in well in the end.

The two young women they presented awards to are quite inspirational

I love seeing Meghan involved with events in women empowerment especially young women. Hope continued back home.

I'm wondering when Meghan's patronages will be announced. Soon after they get home, or when? Considering that there's a narrow window between then and the Remembrance Day ceremonies around the 11th November that doesn't give Meghan much time to get stuck into any of them.

Also the BRF doesn't do an awful lot in the way of engagements from mid December into January, and by the end of February 2019 Meghan may well be retiring from view, if the baby is a March birth of course. If it's April there's a bit more time.

It's been reported that it'll come at the beginning of next year, but I think that's just speculation by journalists. And quite frankly, they've often been wrong at the speed of how fast Meghan's work has moved. So, I wouldn't be surprised if something came after Remembrance Day events and before all the Christmas festivities begin. There is a decent window of time for announcements there.

I think they'll rest up first for a few days before the Remembrance events start, which they've both earned. I'm basically expecting them to disappear until Remembrance.

I was reading about the flight arriving to Sydney that has to abort the landing, I was wondering how many people are traveling with them?

Well, all of the top line royal reporters, photographers and foreign correspondents from the UK, US and many of AUS/NZ ones too. Plus their crews (ITV and BBC alone have crews of about 5-7 each), so a likely fairly full plane!

A number of comments about the media have been deleted. Let’s please stay on-topic.

I don't know how many on their security team, but 10 staff. Meghan does her own make up, and George Northwood does her hair. No one specifically dedicated to her wardrobe. The bulk of their team is communication. One Private Secretary, one Deputy Private Secretary, three communications staff, programme coordinator, orderly, private assistant, hairdresser, and a digital officer.

Thank you! this is a lot of Staff, But I must say I understand it, she will not be doing her suitcases or taking care of the clothing ironing to look gorgeous. I prize her for doing her own make up, which by the way is superb! lol I would need somebody doing mine! it might be exhausting all this trip though a lot of fun at the same time, to meet and learn about all this cultures, trying their food and of course the royal treatment, must be a great feeling!

Little Gavin's gold-dipped pasta necklace for Meghan has been a world-wide sensation with orders coming into him from across Australia, and from the UK and the US.

Gavin is making hundreds, and the money raised will be going to research into stillbirth - in memory of his little sister.

And the company who made Meghan's jeans are currently recruiting for another fifteen of so employees as they too have experienced an upsurge in demand.

Local TV said yesterday that Harry and Meghan aren't expected to be seen until after lunchtime - due at the basketball finals and then the Invictus Games closing ceremony.

I'm not sure what time the couple fly out to New Zealand tomorrow, but they will lose a few hours flying eastward into an earlier timezone.

And the possibility of a "babymoon" is being discussed by Oz media. Maybe the couple will stay on for a few days after finishing their tour of New Zealand, instead of heading straight back to the UK.

I read that jean company has had a 950 percent increase (not a typo) in sales/requests.

I'm expecting Jessica Mulroney does the bulk of her wardrobe

Pranter · #**1097** 10-26-2018, 04:28 PM

I hope, if true, she finds a new stylist...but I've been saying that for months.

We haven’t seen Jessica sense she first arrived to Australia.

Harry and Meghan having a good laugh at the mosquito song. Tears coming to Meghan’s eyes.

Jessica was there with her husband. I’m sure she and The Sussexes met up but it was private. You would never know Jessica was in Australia.

Tarlita · #**1100** 10-26-2018, 07:19 PM

Thank you sun lion I see them discussing Gavins necklace and the jeans here. The extra staff needed in Cambodia will help disadvantaged women there greatly.
This morning ch 9 said H&M will get some rest time (babymoon) while in NZ.
