Meghan Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry
Royal Ascot, Day One, UK - 19 Jun 2018
These two! Meghan looks very crisp in this -- I always like a shirtdress. I do think her belt could be a TINY bit wider? (I like the lace detailing on the dress, which is hard to see in other pics. Might as well lean into the bridal touches when you are freshly newlywed, I always say. It's almost like Givenchy was in charge of making Meghan an actual trousseau.)

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, arrives at the parade ring with Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, in a horse drawn carriage on the first day of the Royal Ascot horse race meeting in Ascot, England
Britain Royal Ascot, United Kingdom - 19 Jun 2018
This carriage had all the -ssexes, and finally we've got some proof of life from Prince Edward, who has been absent from some things recently, leading to the question: WOULD people notice if Prince Edward disappeared? (The answer, which should comfort him, turned out to be yes.)

Just making a note to put this into my Royal Gazing file....hang on. This also seems like a great place to note that her hat is Philip Treacy. This is also, to date, my FAVORITE of her hats.

The angle of this shot makes it look like Meghan's hat has a HUGE flourish on top (it's actually Sophie's hat behind her) and honestly? IT LOOKS AWESOME. Go HUGE next time, Meghan. Look at this! You can carry a lot of hat! GO BIG!

Royal Ascot, Day One, UK - 19 Jun 2018
In which we can admire Prince Harry's blue waistcoat (which he has worn before, but RARELY) and Meghan's handkerchief hem. She is going fairly low key to these events and I cannot blame her for that.

WEARING GIVENCHY HAT BY PHILIP TREACY
I've decided that Beatrice is regaling Meghan with all the horror stories from her online dating adventures.

This color is fantastic on her, and that hat is good. I actually think this entire look is pretty stellar on Beatrice; it's a bit Wickstead-y, but it's actually by a designer called Claire Mischevani

This photo makes me laugh so much. They both look SO SO DOUBTFUL.

Royal Ascot, Day One, UK - 19 Jun 2018
Here's a better look at both Euj and Sophie; Eugenie looks sort of nutty in a sort of amazing way? You KNOW Meghan came up to her and they talked about that purse she's carrying, because it's by M2Malletier, one of Meghan's faves. I don't have a credit on Sophie's dress yet, but I like it. (It MIGHT be Emilia Wickstead, but my guess is that it isn't; Her hat is the real star, regardless.)

These two look exactly as they always look; I appreciate that Harrys looks as if he's reflecting on Camilla's choice of chapeau.

You KNOW Princess Anne has owned every bit of this ensemble since like 1989. (She looks smart in it, and just like herself. That bag is very classic and also practical, like Anne herself.)

And here we've got almost the entire crew -- I assume they're watching a race here? Her Majesty looks VERY DOUBTFUL about whatever pony she's got her money on for this one.
