Wow, K Perry looks terrible. It’s everything wrong with fashion, too, imo.

It’s embarassing how inappropriately dressed she is.

Katy Perry’s dresses are hideous she wore this horror the other night. The dress she wore to see Prince Charles was inappropriate.

Hero who saved Princess Anne from kidnapper breaks silence after 46 years

I didn’t know that this had happened to Princess Anne. It is amazing Her Majesty paid off this brave man’s mortgage. I hope he doesn’t have to sell his medal.

This came up on my local news:
The Queen owns a shopping centre in Leeds – guess which one
(it's called Crown Point by the way!) I thought these bits were interesting:

• Across England and Wales, the Crown Estate and the Duchy of Lancaster owns 7,936 plots.

• The Crown Estate owns around half of the UK’s foreshore (the bit of land exposed between high tide and low tide), some substantial areas of coastline and virtually all the UK’s seabed from average low tide to the 12 nautical mile limit.

• It also owns mineral rights across around 115,000 hectares where it does not own the surface land. Naturally occurring gold and silver in the UK, collectively known as 'Mines Royal', are managed by the Crown Estate.

I read about this a little while ago, as far as I recall the shooter is STILL in prison/hospital.

EDIT
Princess Anne kidnap attempt – from the archive, 23 May 1974

This was a petition to release him a few years ago, not sure if he is still locked up or not:

Lovely scarf.

There is something about HM in which she is able to make many sartorial items and styles that we generally think of as very "old lady"....interesting and beautiful. I think part of this phenomenon is simply that she embraces her age. I never have the feeling that she's trying to look "forever young". She's always "age appropriate".

My comment here ties in with the earlier one about HM: She never tries to look like something she's not (young!!!) nor does she dress to shock or gain attention. (Aside from the fact that she often wears bright colors, apparently, so that her subjects can find her in a crowd.)

HM exudes confidence and, as a result, is probably the only nonagenarian in the world who is constantly admired for her style.

Meghan Markle could make '$100 million' this year, media exec Simon Huck says

“She's not going to do traditional commercials, she's not going to be doing a perfume. She'll do things with...a Netflix."

“They are sought-after people. They are young, beautiful, intelligent, interesting people and Oprah [Winfrey] has already partnered with Harry on a mental health docuseries,” the "Objectified" host continued of the pair, who said in their Jan. 8. announcement that they will "work to become financially independent" of the crown.

It is really gross how certain meda has been problematic about Meghan.ss

I posted in a previous thread a video of Princess Anne and her then husband, Mark Phillips talking about the kidnapping attempt on one of the 70s talk shows...you can look it up on YouTube if you're interested.
