The British Royal Family #2

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8009459/Meghan-Markles-homeless-brother-says-spent-time-looking-family

Mr Markle told The Sun: 'I am homeless and could have been under a bridge with a cardboard sign begging for money.'

He added: 'For her to sit there on her royal pedestal and watch this happening to her family — she should have done her humanitarian work for us.'

Mr Markle admitted he was surprised to learn Meghan was disrupting years of tradition which he called 'a little bit insulting.'

Isn't this the brother who wrote a public letter to Prince Harry encouraging him to call off the wedding? I mean, try to destroy your sister's life then whine she won't support you.....

Was fun to watch this about the Royal Kitchen. What surprised me was the queen likes her meat well done! Horrors!

Bringing this forward, I've tried to buy his cookbook without success. It would be a great addition to my library of cookbooks, including the White House Chefs. Lucky to anyone who has got his cookbook Eating Royally. My I ask for recommendations of other cookbooks on British cuisine that I can be on the lookout?

Alternatively, I love the Hairy Bikers cookbooks, try this one, I'm sure the link will take you to lots of other suggestions too.

Thank you, I will definitely check these books out. I don't cook much anymore, but I love to read the recipes and history. And being in the Midwest, I am not near any restaurants except for a few Irish pubs (not the same as British) and of course it's the traditional Americanized pub food.

The Windsors* series 3 starts on Tuesday night, Channel 4

Premiere date set for The Windsors Season 3

Aside from the marginally more realistic storylines "fans can also expect to see a ‘fun’ side to Princess Anne when she falls for David Beckham whilst Prince Edward falls victim to Bulgarian loan-sharks"

*just to be clear, this is a parody/comedy show

'The Windsors: Inside the Royal Dynasty': What to expect
'The Windsors: Inside the Royal Dynasty': How to watch - CNN


The Windsors, a six part documentary series about the BRF, Sunday nights on CNN. I watched part one and it went through King Edward deciding to follow Wallace Simpson who had fled to France after a leaked press story about the possibility of Edward’s abdication.

Wow, talk about comments and bad press, people in the streets with signs, people protesting and throwing stones through Simpson’s apartment windows, and a press pack chased her vehicle to France... Eerie how she was chased. This is in the thirties.

It had great archival footage and a nice mix of sets. It was interesting to see the portrait of differences between Edward and his brother. And, the Queen Mum was beautiful when she was young.

In the promo footage B&W and color you can really see how the tiaras and crowns sparkle like crazy because it’s on film.

Very well done. I do enjoy a good documentary. Hope our British and Australia peeps are able to see it. Don’t know how CNN works across the pond and down under... but it looks to be a very good series.

Is this like the documentary "The Royal House of Windsor" on Netflix?

Royal fashion sidebar. — Normally I’m not too fond of the attached cape trend but I love this outfit on Q Mathilde. —Length, fit, accessories. That is a really put together look and she has a great figure to wear it.

Today is Family Day. We celebrate on the 3rd Monday of February every year.
Thought I'd post some throwback pictures of the Royal Family.

King George V and Queen Mary with all 6 of their kids.

Princess Alexandra with her children: future King George V , Prince Albert Victor, Princess Louise, Princess Victoria, and Princess Maud.

Romanov Brothers: Mikhail and Nicholas 2.

Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII), Nicholas II of Russia, his son the Czarewitch Alexei, and The Prince of Wales (future King George VI, Queen Elizabeth's Father).

What a privilege to have so many family pictures. The average family doesn't have many photos from the 1800s and early 1900s. If you do, count yourself lucky at being able to see what your ancestors looked like.

Happy Family Day.

This link isn't to a MSM site, but I thought I would still post it because it shares some of the really great work Sophie- Countess of Sussex has been doing for women. I wish her work received more attention, it's pretty incredible.

This is a good project for Kate. Early childhood development is both important and challenging in modern times. She looks and seems very comfortable. She and William project traditional family values in a way that’s accessible. I find it’s easy to like them and they are nice role models.

Of course he will. They're the other side of the pond, not on the planet Zog without a return ticket.

He's significantly less likely to know his grandad and uncle on Meghan's side, despite being on the same continent!
