Yesterday, we were totally deprived of another Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle step-sister sighting and we are fuming to be honest.
We caught a glimpse of the Duchess of Sussex at her cousin-in-law’s wedding at the weekend, wearing a delightful Oscar De La Renta dress with an M&S fascinator and her Aquazzura wedding pumps.
The newlywed looked happy with her husband, holding his hand as she almost took a tumble walking into the church.

Considering the Duchess of Cambridge is meant to be on maternity leave, we’ve also been seeing a lot of her of late. At both the royal wedding and Trooping the Colour, the mother-of-three has been front and centre, often seen herding children around with a cute grin on her face.
On Monday, however, the three royal stars were notably absent from the Order of the Garter Service.
The Queen was accompanied by royal family members, including Prince William and Prince Charles, whilst honouring knights for their public service.
Her son and grandson, both members of the Order, wore traditional blue velvet robes and plumed hats to process through the grounds of Windsor castle.
Prince Harry was not present, since he is not a Knight of the Garter, and therefore his wife, Meghan, could not attend either, as she too has not been named a member yet.
The Duke of Sussex will probably not be invited until his father is King, Marlene Koenig, a British and European royalty expert, explains to BAZAAR.com 'The Duchess of Sussex has never attended and will probably not attend until Harry is named.'
William was only named as a member so young due to him being second in line to the throne, and it is customary for Dukes and Earls to be in their 40s when they get named.
Despite attending nearly every Garter ceremony since 2011, Middleton was absent due to her aforementioned maternity leave. It has been rumoured that she will not be seen until Prince Louis' christening some time this summer.
