Prince William and Kate Middleton paid a visit to baby Archie for the first time.

Meghan Markle is the very definition of a modern royal.

“She’s not really, to me, a tiara kind of girl,” Forbes explained, “whereas Kate [Middleton] is more traditional. You know, the royal jewels, they’re mind-blowing, but they are quite traditional. You have to be that sort of person.”

“I think she dressed beautifully throughout her pregnancy,” Forbes said. “And I know she got a lot of flak because it was such an expensive wardrobe, but I love that about her. I think she’s very much the new Princess Diana. Kate is the person who wears High Street, and I think she does it brilliantly. Kate in a Zara shirtdress — everybody goes crazy.”
