Meghan Markle's dad says being reunited with his daughter is his last wish

The Duchess of Sussex’s dad says his final wish is to be reunited with his estranged daughter – and he will never give up trying

@Bampot, we've been asked not to discuss the ongoing Meghan saga. Most people are sick of hearing it, and the mods are sick of dealing with it.

Sophie Wessex's more daring hats.
I honestly wouldn't be able to keep some of the hats and fascinators on my head. I'd end up poking someone's eyes out, having it fly away, maybe a bird would nest in it or attack it thinking I was another bird.

I've never been able to wear them well. They literally top the outfit off so well. V elegant

I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of Sophie this year, she has a good relationship with the Queen and will be trusted to carry out official engagements. I like her.

 

[Doghairrules]

Oh I view them as totally separate.
Will and Catherine are true royalty.

Harry is our renegade. He may have help, but he’s true to himself.

He’s got a wife who supports him, and a really cute baby.

They’ll all be fine.
Imo

Agreed. He’s always marched to his own drumbeat.

The only time we see hats like this in the US is Derby Day.

I love these! I wonder if Lady Louise will do engagements with her mom in a few years. I know they wanted private lives for their children but if the Wessexes are doing more and more engagements, maybe that will change.

and Easter used to be a big hat day iirc

I said the other day that Louise is the age (16) where she could suddenly blossom into a confident young lady, and I do think the Wessexes will step up the public outings now. Edward has always seemed deeply suspicious of publicity and the media and I don't think social engagements come too naturally for him, but Sophie has been doing a great job!

Never knew this

The Prince of Wales visited the grave of his grandmother Princess Alice as part of a trip to Jerusalem for a number of Holocaust commemoration events. Princess Alice gave shelter to a Jewish family during the Nazi occupation of Greece in the Second World War.Her remains were buried in the Church of St Mary Magdalene above the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem.

I read her biography by Hugo Vickers recently and it was a fascinating life she lived. Very sad and difficult at times but ultimately fulfilling and SO different to the usual royal biography. I recommend it.

Used to be. But I haven’t seen a dressy hat outside of Derby Day in a long time. Too bad. I can rock a hat.

On it like an Easter bonnet! I wish we still wore hats as standard

The family tree

 

[Only4Justice]

Just linked it below. Wanted to tell you to notice how much the animals adore her.
That speaks volumes!

I have fallen I love with the Queen. What an admirable human being she is.

 

[Deleted member 158085]

Yes, absolutely.

I think they’re done.

Did Kate Middleton Drop Another Hint That Her Family with Prince William Is Complete with 3 Kids?

 

[CoverMeCagney]

Sweet story!

Sophie, 55, told Sky News: “I mean Louise had no concept really that the Queen and her grandmother were one and the same person. It wasn’t until she was at school that other children were mentioning it and saying, ‘Your gran is the Queen’. And she’d come home and say, ‘Mummy they say that Grandmama is the Queen.’ And I said, ‘Yes,’ and she said, ‘I don’t understand what they mean.’”

Sophie Wessex says daughter Lady Louise had no idea who the Queen was for years

 

[firebird]

Bringing this forward because I didn’t see an answer. Saw a pic of Louis in shorts with same colored tights but not long pants.
I’ll admit that long pants on a young boy being referred to as “middle class” or “suburban” makes me

I was wondering if it had to do with the weather? But I don't know if toddler boys always wear shorts, or no. I know that they usually do.

I like narcissuses or narcissi, especially the paperwhite variety.

Especially for you two!

It's called the Archefoundation, so they must have had Archie's name picked out already.
