| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to In the Limelight, Vanity Fair's Entertainment and Pop Culture |
| 0:11.2 | Podcast. I'm Josh Duboff, Vanity Fair's Senior Writer, and I'm here with Julie Miller, Vanity Fair's |
| 0:15.8 | Senior Hollywood writer. On In The Limelight, we analyze the ins and outs of pop culture, entertainment, |
| 0:25.7 | and celebrity from the past week, from the Kardashians to Kate Middleton, and everything in between. |
| 0:40.4 | On this week's episode, all kinds of royal related items to catch up on. Megan, our girl, had a very busy week. She was at the Royal Ascot, her first one last week. On Tuesday night, she went to Buckingham Palace for a reception, also attended by the Queen and David Beckham. But, and then |

| 1:22.1 | Tom soon. Don't worry, Tom. I know you're listening. The queen hosted an evening reception for the Commonwealth of 53 nations that are linked to the UK. |
| 1:34.1 | And Harry was named the organization's youth ambassador just weeks before he and Megan were married. So this is one of his new responsibilities. |
| 1:43.3 | And Megan was wearing a sort of powder pink Prada dress with two columns of buttons, |
| 1:52.3 | kind of oversized buttons down in front. |
| 1:56.6 | And the seating went her, hairy, and then the queen. |
| 2:01.6 | So there was one gap between her and the queen, her new BFF. |
| 2:05.5 | Which was kind of surprising, but I imagine that's some sort of royal protocol. |
| 2:10.6 | Julie, what did you think of this dress, which I call the Jackie O style dress? |
