The British Royal Family #3

[La Louve]

JMO, but after watching the video of the Commonwealth Service and how the Sussexes and the Cambridges interacted, I think Diana would be disappointed in both her sons.

Catherine especially seemed to be gloating, IMO. I imagine on some level she's happy to have Meghan out of the picture.

Such a sad state of affairs all around.

As for my fashion commentary, I thought Catherine's ensemble looked way too fussy and overdone and she looks horribly thin. And I didn't care for the green outfit on Meghan. Whoever posted previously that Meghan's ill fitting clothes seem to start with poorly structured undergarments had it right.

JMO MOO IMO

Catherine gloating? Oh no. Didn’t see that at all. She looked tired and like she was having to keep herself under control. More like she was upset (in retrospect I’d guess it’s at the PH and MM fuss over being left out of the Queens procession). The only gloating I saw was from MM who, I guess, sees herself as having gotten what she wanted in someway. What? Can’t imagine. But I think the smile on her face is much more gloaty than the tension/sadness/exhaustion I see on Catherines. JMO MOO IMHO

I rather enjoy it.

Zat you, Katie Hopkins?

So the supposed calls took place on new year's eve and Jan 22? Why are we worrying now?! (Well, to be clear, I'm not ).

I had a quick skim of the article. Harry would have said those things regardless. He's v real and honest, which is why the Brits love him.

More hyperbole and media drama.

Keeps this thread entertaining tho and we need some light relief at the mo

Fascinating. I can’t imagine not wanting to remain such a part of history.

Prince Edward receives sweet birthday cake during engagement with wife Sophie Wessex

Earl of Wessex received a sweet surprise during a royal engagement with wife Sophie Wessex on Tuesday. Prince Edward was celebrating his 56th birthday and his special day didn't go unmarked during a visit to Tiptree Wilkin and Sons. Edward was presented with a delicious-looking cake, which he happily sliced into under the chimes of guests singing happy birthday. Sharing a clip of the moment on the official royal family Twitter account, it was accompanied by the post: "The Earl cuts a birthday cake made by Darren from the @tiptree jam bakery." As well as visiting the bakery, the royal couple also toured the factory to "learn about the farm to factory production". There was also a clip of Sophie peeling oranges to make Tiptree's very own marmalade.

History
This is Princess Marie Louise Schleswig-Holstein. She had quite the life and "marriage". But like so many members of the British Royal Family she lived a decent old age of 84.

I would think it would be harder to fool someone in person than over the phone but I do understand that you have a certain amount of tenacity when it comes to PH & MM.

I do believe that you are mistaken about all of those I mentioned not being current news because rumours of Prince Andrew having hired a fabulous lawyer to protect him from his rather sticky situation was in my news feed today. Can you get more current than that?

Not mistaken, scroll a few pages behind and I posted about PA. And yes I have a tenacity about H and M's current situation.
