Meghan and Harry touch down in Dubbo
PRINCE Harry was snapped in a beautiful exchange with a young fan in Dubbo. What he did next will melt your heart.

Meghan’s fashion shout-out to Serena
Built around ethical manufacturing in Cambodia, the label now employs about 45 seamstresses, and communications director Erica Bartle said the boost in sales prompted by the Meghan Effect could mean offering even more opportunities to vulnerable young women.
This discussion is very popular, and I find myself checking the thread daily for your comments and updates on Royal goings on. What is it that fascinates us about the British Royal Family?
My dad was Canadian, so I grew up with aunts, uncles, cousins who were enamored by the Royals, gushing about them as if they were direct descendants. My fascination with the Royal Family stems from my interest in British history, literature, culture, the pomp & circumstance of Royal affairs. There is something magical about British customs and traditions that draws me into the real life fairy tale.

Well, I have a terrible reality tv habit. Taking interest in the royals is like a (mostly) classier variation on that, I suppose.

What fascinates you about the British Royals?
I am no makeup pro but I am not representing my country and no one really looks at me anyway.
I used to be absolutely fascinated with medieval history - I read everything I could about English royalty going back before the Roman Conquest. It was a hobby of mine for a few years (many years ago). I lose interest in history in modern times (anything more recent than around Queen Victoria's time), and I really don't consider myself a Royal Watcher....except I do like to see the clothes. I also am interested in their charity work, but mainly, I like to see what they are wearing. As for gossipy stuff, that's not my thing.This discussion is very popular, and I find myself checking the thread daily for your comments and updates on Royal goings on.

What lovely memories, Lilibet. Did you know that back then if the Royal Standard flag was flying it meant the Queen was at home? (they don't do this any more after the Diana / flag furore of 1997) Don't suppose you took a photo so you can check?!
Thanks! It was such a surprise when the Palace was “right there” that I don’t think we had the presence of mind to take a photo, nor could we find the slide now if we did. It was July, so wouldn’t she have been at Balmoral? Or is that just August?
The Royal Standard still lets us know when the Queen is in residence. But now the Union Jack is flown at Buckingham Palace when she isn't there, so that it can be flown at half-mast if someone important dies. As you say, as a result of Diana's death and the controversy around the flat not being lowered.What lovely memories, Lilibet.
