That's a really good picture of Camilla, well both of them actually.

I think she looks better as she's gotten older....

I think Camilla represents someone who is comfortable with herself and her station in life and doesn't need to follow trends.

She has her own family, really, which also helps give her a focus outside of the BRF issues.

I'm very glad she has chosen to be an advocate for victims of domestic abuse.

Yep on all three counts here!

I think having her own children and family (who are out of the spotlight) keeps her and Charles really grounded. They are obviously good for each other and she has always accepted her popularity rating vs Diana. I honestly believe that, had Diana lived, she and Charles would have had a perfectly amicable relationship.

Grace Kelly's wedding cake. Huge.

This had me wondering if there are pictures of Kate Middleton's wedding cake? I haven't been able to find a picture of her and Prince William with their cake.

I found this article about people who sold pieces of wedding cake that were given to guests at Royal weddings.

How sweet. The Duchess of Cornwall mailed out wedding cake favours for Will and Kate's wedding.

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine eats the slice of Princess Diana’s wedding cake Peterman bought for $$$thousands at an auction

That was a great episode.
The cake was actually from Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson's wedding.

"
Remember the episode of Seinfeld where the fictional J. Peterman bought a slice of Edward and Wallis's 60-year-old wedding cake for $29,000? That little quirk didn't just spring from Jerry Seinfeld's head—it actually happened.

In 1997, Sotheby's held a large auction of the Duke and Duchess's personal effects, including a slice of cake in a box marked "A piece of our wedding cake WE WE 3-VI-37." (The "WE" stood for "Wallis and Edward.")"

I'm starting to think non of the Royal couples have released photos of them standing with their cake or eating it :( .

It may be a unpopular opinion and I sound it with no ill judgement to anyone here or else where, but even has a Brit I'm just not a fan of most of the Royals..

Princess Diana was so down to earth yet it seems they hated that about her.
Its just my thoughts though :)
Everyone to their own opinions.
Hope all are well today!

If anyone's life has done a 180 in this situation, it has been the Royal family. The Queen, basically a prisoner in her country home. From living a busy, vibrant life, to stay at home forever...I wonder if she has been depressed?

Princess Beatrice, busy planning her wedding, parties, even with the situation with her father...at this point, she should probably have a small wedding...a huge wedding extravaganza would be in poor taste. INMO.

The time to slow down, and spend time at home for William and Kate looks like it has been a wonderful time for them, and their children.

As for Prince Harry and Meghan, their plan for whatever they were going to do seems to have crashed and burned. No more parties, conventions, acting jobs...

You got 13 out of 17 right!
Well done!
Either you've lived in the UK all your life or you're just a pro on all things British! Have a good ole cuppa with a slice of Victoria sponge to celebrate!

It should say 14 out of 17 - as I got bag pipe - but the answer said bagpipes.... :)

And I have to say - I have never lived in the UK - just reading here I learned all those things in the quiz! :D
