So which actress gets to play her on Downton Abbey?

I believe the actor who portrayed HRH Mary on the series, as Cora presented Rose, is reprising the role:

This is who's playing King George V and Queen Mary in 'Downton Abbey' movie - British Period Dramas


‘Downton Abbey’ Movie: The Real-Life Royal Visit That Inspired the Film’s Plot

Oh my goodness, I hadn't heard there would be a movie. I've missed them all so very much. So excited now!

Archie Mountbatten-Windsor has inherited his father's red hair, a royal source has claimed.

The colour of the young royal's locks has been the source of public speculation ever since he was introduced to the world by Prince Harry, 34, and Meghan Markle, 38, at Windsor Castle just two days after his birth in May.

But now it appears royal fans might finally have their answer with a source telling People that - at least in his hair colour - Archie is taking after his flame-haired father.

He has lovely, puffy little legs and tufts of reddish hair,' a source said. 'He’s really adorable.' The royal insider also described Archie as a 'happy baby'.

I am looking forward to the Downtown Abbey movie next month too @Laughing and @sassyblue

Duke of York tweeting like everything is A-OK

The Duke of York
@TheDukeOfYork
Visiting some of the best attractions the UK has to offer this summer?

The Duke of York is President of @alva_uk which represents the UK’s most iconic visitor attractions, to improve visitor experience across the UK’s Palaces, Castles, Cathedrals, Museums, Galleries & Zoos.

The Duke of York on Twitter

Really? Andrew is sending out this RUDE and lame UK travel promotion tweet while HE is vacationing in SPAIN?

Not to mention the photo in the tweet must be more than 30 years old and shows very little about UK sites.

He and his pals seem to be laughing at a monkey’s butt in a zoo. If this truly came from his account, he seems to be “giving the finger” to the public.

Does the Royal Family social media director not see how RUDE this is?

Maybe he and Feguson have had a bit too much to drink out by the pool on the $34million property they are renting, hidden away from the eyes of the UK taxpayers who are funding this escape.

I agree and think the Duke of York should hide away for a while and stay off social media.

Princess Anne, Yesterday was her birthday.

Each day I'm getting more excited about season 3 of the Crown!

Quite the smoldering beauty

What an interesting article about Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Tim Lawrence

This is a stalwart man who knows how to get things done. Princess Anne did well to marry him.

The Duke of Edinburgh should have been allowed to remain in the Navy, says Princess Anne's husband | Daily Mail Online

Perhaps some others who have married into the Royal Family might do well to study the kind of devotion to duty and country that Vice Admiral Lawrence shows.

On her holidays at age 93 out doing charity works and being very visible to her subjects, in her usual smart and elegant ensemble.

And some of the offspring are off sulking in foreign hideaways. No public service or sacrifice for them!

Sarah Ferguson works with investor accused of sexual offences at eco energy firm

Sarah Ferguson works with investor accused of sexual offences at eco energy firm

The headlines involving Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York keep getting worse. I would hate to work in the Buckingham Palace press office at the moment.

The things that made me laugh out loud in that article

"Sarah Ferguson took a job"

"brand amabassador for a renewable energy company" It has something to do with mobile solar units. Since when did Sarah give a rip about anything more mobile than cash? What credentials does she have to do anything other than sell her or Andrew's name for money?

She is just never on the up and up like Princess Anne. There's always a hustle with Sarah. Tony Roberts is a 5-star snake oil salesman.

I guess Harry was too busy lecturing rich people about the evils of selfie-taking tourists to take this "Brand Ambassador" job. It's more up his alley. Selling some sort of renewable energy thing to Africa.

Or maybe Harry doesn't need the money

I do wonder what Her Majesty makes of the Duchess of York’s repeated desperation to make cash through her royal connection.

I'm over here personally wishing Kate is pregnant, and hopefully they will focus on that, instead of Meghan. She doesn't want to do as the royals, she can get out of the spotlight, imo
