H&M

This is just a GOOD outfit. The blazer with the cuffs turned up is perfect. I think it might have looked better with the shirt tucked in, but she may not have felt that was an option. For all we know, she's got one of those Belly Belt waist expanders in play so that she can still wear her regular size jeans but just stretch where they fasten (I used one when I had the beans, for as long as possible). The point being, if there's any rigging happening, she likely doesn't want it on display, and who could blame her.

They were greeted by MORE kids at the RFDS, where they got a whole welcome pack plus another stuffie for their bean from this sweet kid. It looked like a duck in one picture, but the legs are long, so maybe an emu? Fug Nation Australia will know.

I can't tell if Meghan is receiving this, or if she again plucked it from a gift bouquet and returned it to the child. For the umpteenth time, I shall reference that this happened in The Royal We and I've decided that means either she or Jess Mulroney read it (even though I'm sure it's a coincidence). If I do say so myself, it IS a nice idea, and really lovely to see happening, regardless of whether we wrote it in our book or not.

Did you want a close-up of the pony tail? Well, you're getting one anyway. I love it. I wish my hair did this. I guess it might, if I had a hair person. MOM, CAN I HAVE A HAIR PERSON?!?

"Yes but see I don't NEED to pass along your invitation to Charlotte. She heard you. She made me a listening device before I left. It's in my belt buckle."

Before dedicating a new aircraft, they got schooled in -- and I have to wonder if this was changed once the news broke -- maternity rescue and what they do when they've got a pregnant woman in labor. It's amazing the planning that goes into these presentations. It's possible that they had this on the mind all along, but I suspect a LOT of these places considered whether they'd need to pivot for baby news -- just honestly as a matter of wanting to be prepared for ANYTHING -- and that's certainly paying off.

"Excuse me, but I don't think you're doing your Lamaze."

Backing up, the duo deplaned in Dubbo Airport looking extremely lovey and happy, and immediately got to it with the kidlets. This little noodle is DARLING and Meghan is practically exploding with glee at the cuteness of her husband getting a snuggle from a child in a gingham hat.

She got some of those snuggles herself.

Prince Harry and Meghan Duchess of Sussex tour of Australia - 17 Oct 2018

And then he tugged on Harry's beard because -- this has been reported -- Father Christmas is his favorite person, and he has a beard. Seriously, if Harry weren't already excited to have a tot of his own, he'd be BRIMMING with fertile urges after this.

"Well, I did TELL you these things are full of Royal Touching."

"I'm sorry, Serena said WHAT about my forehand? Call her up. Now."

This is ostensibly to give me space to talk about Harry's outfit -- which is fine, and comfortable, and I'm not wild about the tan shoes with the blue-on-black color scheme -- but I would be remiss in not pointing out the jazzy blouse on the lady who greeted them.

"Wait, Sharon did what?!? That is NOT an acceptable use of glue sticks."

"SHARON. I'm watching you."
