The Duchess of Sussex took part in her first ever Trooping the Colour parade today. The event is an official celebration of Queen Elizabeth's birthday. Although Her Majesty was born on 21 April, it has long been the tradition to publicly celebrate the Monarch's birthday on a day in the summer.

Meghan has knocked it out of the park today! I love her in pink. She wore pink for her first engagement as a royal and now again! I hope this is her go-to colour now that she is a Duchess.

Meghan's really getting the hang of the polished royal look. Thanks for showing this is a two-piece outfit, I hadn't picked up on that. And you have great photos! Meghan looks stunning, the tailoring is impeccable, and she's sticking to an international theme in designers.

My one quibble would be to question wearing a Bardot top to a military parade, It's more cocktail hour I would have thought. But the pics you found show it looking much less marked and it's nicely offset with the superb hat and pretty waves in her hair.

I was watching photos of the event and the other ladies was wearing coats or long sleeves. Is she the only one in sleeveless?? It seem to be a sunny day in London but maybe not too much hot...

You are as fast as lightning. Incredible. They have hardly left the balcony and here is your blog entry. Great!
I like what Meghan is wearing. This two piece outfit is very lovely.

Hi, great and fast post. Just not sure the headpiece is the same as the other day...

You are right! I've taken a closer look and they are different! This one has an upturned brim. Thanks for bringing it to my attention xx

Could it be, that the hatbrim is bent upwards? To me it seems like the same hat just changed slightly.

I was wondering that too Claudia! I guess we'll never know!

Even though she looks nice in the off the shoulder outfit, it is totally inappropriate for the event. Has any royal lady worn off the shoulder to trooping of the colors? Never! She really does need someone to tutor her in royal protocol, fashion, etc. Although it may have been her whole purpose to cross the line and be the center of attention. If so, mission accomplished!

It is possible, that the following happened.

We all know that a wedding means stress. And a royal wedding means more stress. Plus the problems with her "family". During the broadcast of Trooping the colour one of the commentators, a socalled Royal expert said, that the last rehearsal of the wedding was very emotional, because first Meghan broke down in tears and then Harry as well. The photographer of the official wedding photos said that while he was taken the photos of them in black and white on the steps Meghan let herself fall on the steps with the words, that she is totally exhausted. So, they had what 2 days to get ready for that garden party, while they were already getting ready to go on a short honeymoon. We heard that they obvioulsy went to Canada and returned the Thursday before Trooping the colour.

Honestly the wedding preparation would have brought me on the brink, but the programme which followed would have pushed me over.

So they return on Thursday and lets say she had a dress for Trooping the colour, but discovered she could not wear it for whatever reason, maybe the same colour with Kate, the Queen, Camilla, maybe clashing with the Queen, maybe the hat did not match the dress. Maybe it didn't fit anymore, so she quickly had to find an alternative and came up with that dress and I bet she got it approved for this occasion.

They are first and foremost humans and humans make mistakes. And even if the dress was meant for this occasion right from the start, that is also fine with me.

I agree, there is a time and place for off the shoulder and its not for official daytime event like Trooping the Colour. Meghan seems to push the line and should remember that she is representing the royal family not herself.

First, great content!
Second, there’s no way Meghan doesn’t have an “advisor” to let her know what is appropriate or not. Just my thought!
Lastly, what nail polish was she wearing?!

Lovely outfit, would have looked wonderful at the garden parties. Unfortunately for me she is lacking a bit of polish, all the elements are there just not pulling together. Her hair up would have helped. I am not wild on the off the shoulders for this event.
