The public is very interested in the lives of royals, and the media are following their every move. 

Look through the following headlines written about Kate and Meghan over the years, then answer the following questions:

1. How do you feel after reading the headlines in the article?
2. Why do you think they Kate and Meghan are treated differently in the media, even though their actions are the same?]]> 2021-05-21 05:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/MomokaTakahashi/nyrcp3lj2wyn0cdh/wish/1546687543 PHOTO MomokaTakahashi https://padlet.com/MomokaTakahashi/nyrcp3lj2wyn0cdh/wish/1546687545 Meghan has always been known as a fashionista - even before she became a Duchess.

Meghan's love of fashion is clear when you look at photos of her life before she was a royal, especially during her career as an actress on the TV show Suits. Her style at the time was different from what it is now - shorter hemlines, bolder styles, and more makeup.

Find a photo of Meghan from her pre-duchess life (before 2018) and upload it here. (I have shared a link to some photos, but there are many many more you can choose from.)

You need to 1. describe the outfit 2. explain why you think it's a good example of Meghan's pre-duchess style.]]> 2021-05-21 05:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/MomokaTakahashi/nyrcp3lj2wyn0cdh/wish/1546687545 PHOTO MomokaTakahashi https://padlet.com/MomokaTakahashi/nyrcp3lj2wyn0cdh/wish/1546687547 Glitz and glamor are another aspect of royal life.

Find a photo of Meghan from an evening event (i.e. she needs to be glamorous and wearing an evening gown) and upload it here.

Describe 1. what she is wearing 2. what event she attended 3. the meaning or or significance behind the clothing she is wearing (i.e. she repeated an outfit, the accessory was also worn by Diana, the color of the dress matches the logo of the charity the she attended, etc.)]]> 2021-05-21 05:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/MomokaTakahashi/nyrcp3lj2wyn0cdh/wish/1546687547 PHOTO MomokaTakahashi https://padlet.com/MomokaTakahashi/nyrcp3lj2wyn0cdh/wish/1546687549 Just like her sister-in-law Kate, Meghan has also been known to wear outfits that pay homage to the late Princess Diana.

Find an outfit of Meghan emulating Diana's style and explain why (or why you think) Meghan chose to replicate that specific outfit (what message was she trying to send?).

Remember, royal tours are an opportunity to use fashion to send messages to the host country, and can be used as a sign of respect.
