Yes indeed, the phrasing in many popular articles is often misleading or inexact, which can sometimes lead to confusion or misunderstanding. Diana's jewelry was left to both brothers, without specification. So, they worked it all out between each other over the years regarding the pieces they were personally fond of. Once they each married, particular keepsakes were then passed onto their wives, as they both individually and mutually agreed upon, with some switches happening at the time of William's engagement to Catherine.
Yes I also noticed Meghan's great posture and graceful walk from the beginning. It's great that she can walk in such high heels. I've never been able to, especially when pregnant. Now if she can be persuaded into some more outfits of ice blue, yellow, red or orange that would be perfect!
LOL, yes, there was a point where I got really tired of seeing Meghan in black and navy! Still, I've come to recognize and accept that Meghan very much dresses for herself and for the occasion every time. Her style and color choices won't please everybody all of the time. She is very much attuned to her own body and to her own preferences, which is the epitome of what having style is all about!
Certainly, Meghan doesn't always get what she wears perfectly right to a T, but I don't think that's her aim to begin with. For Meghan, the journey, the process and the exploration of fashion, fabrics, design, color, and deeper meanings are all part of the challenge and the reward. She's as interested in a designer's values and ideals, as much as she is concerned with matching her clothing choices with the occasion, her body structure, and her lifestyle needs.
I gained this insight in part from Meghan's comments during her famous appearance at the British Fashion Awards in 2018. She presented 'Designer of the Year' trophy to her wedding dress designer, Claire Waight Keller. As Meghan said in presenting the award:
"We have a deep connection to what we wear. Sometimes it's very personal and sometimes it's emotional. But for me this connection is rooted in really being able to understand that [what we wear is] about supporting and empowering each other, especially as women. When we choose to wear a certain designer, [our choice is] not just a reflection of their creativity and their vision, it's also a reflection of their values -- of something that is 'in the fabric', so to speak, that is much more meaningful."
There's a ton of evidence on all the Meghan fashion-related blogs and among fashion industry cognoscenti regarding the fact that everything Meghan wears tends to sell well or to sell out quickly. And there continues to be demand for certain past clothing items and accessories she has worn. Meghan is definitely an inspiring role model for many fashionistas and for those who are interested in improving their personal style and their wardrobe.
There are reports that the Armani dress with the lotus flower has sold out. And other sites have also picked up on the meaning and significance of the lotus flower, coupled with the jewelry:
