  • Hello you guys, and welcome back.

  • Now I am super excited about this one because we're gonna be talking about fashion, style, romance, elegance.

  • I'm Rickey Thompson and this is Royal Tea, grab a cuppa because it's gonna get steamy.

  • All righty if you know me, I am no stranger to fashion.

  • I mean look at me, I look absolutely amazing.

  • But anyway, I've done so many great things in the fashion world.

  • I was on the cover of Out magazine, I got to walk in Alexander Wang's recent fashion show, I've been invited to a lot of fashion week shows, and you know fashion really just makes me happy.

  • I love looking good and I love when people tell me I look good, so like I always say you either show out or don't show up at all, that's the rule to fashion baby, hello.

  • Here's what I have to say about these royal ladies, they can work.

  • I am talking about designer duds all the time.

  • And you know what?

  • I am here for it.

  • Now, starting off with my girl Princess Diana, she could rock a suit skirt and a shift dress, but her style was way out of the box too.

  • She knew how to rock polka dots and sequins and she loved accessories, like her layered pearls and her killer tiara.

  • Now do you guys remember her revenge dress?

  • Oh my goodness this dress was so sexy, she gave me skin, she gave me a slit.

  • Now if I were to come to an event that my ex was at and I really wanted to show him what I was really about, I would rock this dress.

  • Princess Diana girl, you did that.

  • She was also the queen of athleisure.

  • Get you a princess who can do both baby.

  • we saw her in sweat shirts and biker shorts, I see you Kim Kardashian.

  • Then we have Princess Margaret, now you guys may not know this but she's an OG, she brought fashion to the palace.

  • She gave us furs, she gave us gowns, she gave us Dior, J'adore Diore Margaret.

  • Can we talk about this look?

  • Now this look right here gave me bad bitch, she's ready.

  • And who could ever forget this scandalous birthday picture?

  • Margaret gave us shoulder, she gave us neck, she gave as ahh.

  • You can tell she was really feeling herself, like me I'm always feeling myself, I see you Rickey.

  • Then we have Queen Elizabath.

  • Okay well, we see that she's giving us a coat, a cute little dress and a hat, we see that she's giving it to us again and again and again, okay Queen, I see you.

  • Then we have Kate Middleton, her style screams class.

  • She gives us very ladylike fashion, very put together fashion, she loves a printed A line dress, a tailored coat, she loves her accessories just like Princess Diana, like rocking a very killer tiara.

  • Also, she likes to rock a simple Zara dress, maybe a simple Zara jean, I am loving this simple ladylike classy gown that she's wearing.

  • I love the purple, it's such an amazing color, this is also my favorite color as well, so Kate.

  • Lastly we have my girl Meghan Markle.

  • Now Meghan Markle knows what to do with her fashion, it's very chic, it's very contemporary, it's very streamlined.

  • All righty now this first look, Meghan I love you but it wasn't my favorite, but I see that you wanted to give the public elegance.

  • Now this Meghan, I am obsessed with this yellow dress.

  • You are giving color, you are giving me elegance, you are also giving me a little bit of sexiness, and I am here for it.

  • Now this last look, oh my goodness, I really do love when women rock pantsuits, and Meghan you look absolutely amazing.

  • It's black, it's sleek, it's also giving you that business woman feel and I love it girl.

  • Now it's time to throw it back, let's see what these ladies were giving us before they were royals.

  • All right so in this first look we see that Kate is rocking the sheer tights, with these tube socks.

  • Now it looks like she is going to a rave, so I know that Miss Kate likes to have fun.

  • This look is such a trend right now, the low-rider jeans, bootcut with the cami, very cute Kate, very cute.

  • Kate this is not my favorite girl, I don't know what this dress is, it looks like you're rocking a very expensive curtain, not my favorite, I would leave that in my closet, I really would.

  • This is another look I would leave in the closet, I don't like this cropped jacket it looks very small.

  • This dress, very grandma, and these kitten heels not my favorite, sorry girl.

  • I don't play favorites but y'all know my girl Meghan.

  • This first look, I think it's very sexy.

  • I'm not a fan of kitten heels, but Meghan, you look hot girl in this red dress.

  • Ooh ooh Meghan.

  • Meghan now you know I love you, but this outfit right here girl, not my favorite.

  • I don't like the bag, I don't like the slip-ons, I don't like the pearl necklace, it's not my favorite, not my favorite at all.

  • This look, I actually really do like it, like I love the fur jacket, I love the denim skirt, I love these heels.

  • Once again Meghan, girl you know I love you, but I do not like this look, I am not a fan of a...
