She wore a red dress with a Peter Pan collar because that is what Diana wore when William was born.

Seriously though, she looks so good after just giving birth.

Here come the in-laws! Meghan's nephews and their mother touch down in London with 13 SUITCASES ahead of royal wedding TV special - despite 'NOT being invited' to the event itself
Daily Mail/UK, May 14, 2018

There has been much speculation as to which members of Meghan's family will be attending her nuptials to Prince Harry in Windsor ion Saturday.

And while her father has confirmed he will not attend it looks as though her nephews Tyler and Thomas Dooley along with their mother, Meghan's sister-in-law, Tracy Dooley seem determined to take part in the big day.

Despite previously revealing they hadn't received an invite to the royal wedding the trio were seen making their way to the arrivals gate at the London airport on Monday.

See, how it is all pink, so one can add in comments and stories without starting a new thread.

Note, in the column, this image below, which looks like a little note, with a tack in it, sort of like a "post-it" note.

Maybe the best 5 minutes of the great mini-series John Adams was the meeting between Adams and George III.  I don't think awkwardness has ever been better produced cinematically than in this segment.
