The British Royal Family #6

I don't see any issues, he can apply for Legal Permanent Residency as a spouse of a United States citizen. Slam dunk.

Or even do the "Investor" Visa, he has plenty of money for that.

A lot of stuff for him to do to get permanent residency and it takes a very long time. Re investor visa is very hard to get. Then there will be taxes in both countries. They cant afford that . MOO

'LASTING SCARS'
Meghan Markle could be quizzed in court over ‘very one-sided’ bombshell biography after authors claim she WAS a source

We have the couple denying that they contributed to the book, and the authors contradicting them. That certainly undermines the credibility of Harry and his wife.

"A spokesman for the Sussexes, who now live in California, said they had not been interviewed for the book.

A statement said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to Finding Freedom.

"This book is based on the authors' own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting."
​

Sussexes 'did not contribute' to book on royals

"We have spoken to close friends of Harry and Meghan, royal aides and palace staff (past and present), the charities and organisations they have built long-lasting relationships with and, when appropriate, the couple themselves."​

After you have read it, please share your thoughts about the title and how it connects to the content of the journal. When I read "making of ... " I expect to learn about something that is made new.

Princess Margaret's grandson, Arthur Chatto, celebrates finishing his 2,000-mile charity row around the UK with a hug from girlfriend Lizzie Friend

While Arthur is still best known for his lineage as the grandson of the Queen's late sister Princess Margaret, he is quickly gaining a loyal online following thanks to his very cheeky Instagram snaps.

Far from the official photographs that we are used to seeing from royals, Arthur's Instagram account gives a rare glimpse into his everyday life

Wondering why this undermines the credibility of ‘Harry and the girl’ more so than the authors!

Is that the same triple strand of pearls in the first and last picture?

Is that the same triple strand of pearls in the first and last picture?

I don't think so -- looks like larger pearls with a central bar of the largest in the earlier image?

Note: I am not a jeweler & do not even play one on TV.

The dresses themselves look much the same. Maybe the first dress was repurposed by adding sleeves.

Anne is famed for wearing outfits and accessories from decades ago. Totally grounded and no nonsense, and it shows in her kids, especially Zara.

I'm not sure, but it does look like the same pearls.
While I was trying to answer your question I realized that Princess Anne is wearing the same dress in both of those pictures. It was recycled and refashioned for a different event!

Wondering why this undermines the credibility of ‘Harry and the girl’ more so than the authors!

If Harry and his wife viewed the authors as having no credibility, there would be multiple lawsuits filed against the authors. Harry and his wife respond to media that is not approved by them with lawsuits.

The absence of lawsuits mean that Harry endorses the book. The fact that Harry and his wife have contradicted one fact in the book - denying that they worked with the authors - leaves Harry's credibility in question.

PH and MM could respond with a lawsuit (not would.) Denying they worked with the authors is nothing more than a statement they didn’t participate (it’s not annulled by a second claim in the book that they did participate.) The authors make a contradictory statement at the end after first maintaining there was no cooperation from the couple. They have revealed their own (the authors) lack of credibility.

IMO

I was looking for more recycling, and instead of finding what I was looking for, I discovered this gem:

Why we love Princess Anne and her hair


Anne has always had that quality. Richard Ralph, governor of the Falkland Islands when the Princess visited in 1996, hit the nail on the head. 'She does the tiara stuff beautifully,' he said, but was happiest in her 'jeans and Barbour'. No surprise there for those who saw her as a 19-year-old visiting the first regiment of which she was invited to be colonel-in-chief, the 14th/20th King's Hussars. Then, she scored eight bullseyes shooting a sub-machine gun from the hip, and drove a 52-ton Chieftain tank over three miles of rugged terrain - she was, enthused one young corporal, 'one of the few women who looks sexy in tank overalls'. It's the sort of look she's always been able to pull off precisely because 'she doesn't have an ounce of vanity in her', as one approving aristocrat told me. 'She'll recycle clothes without a care in the world - she doesn't give a tuppenny f * ck.' At a time when brash has lost its lustre, that's a winning trait.

14 of Princess Anne's most iconic outfits ever

In the photograph above, Anne poses on the grand staircase at Buckingham Palace in 1973, wearing a beautiful pink polka-dot gown.


Outfits we would love to see again!

I for one would also appreciate more info about the clothes, I did notice this is a staircase, also that the dress is pink and has polka dots... hard to miss all that. But who made the design? What do the sleeves look like? Mediaeval sleeves like her wedding dress? The fabric, is it silk? and so on.

Polka dots are notoriously difficult to get them 'right' at the seams, as you can see in the lower left of the skirt where the dots touch (oo instead of o o). The aim would be to have the pattern uninterrupted in the bodice, this requires a lot of strategic cutting of the fabric. I would love to see how they solved that one here, so Anne, please please turn a bit towards the camera, thank you so much.

This is an amazing timeless dress. It would look as fresh and stylish today as it did almost 50 years ago.
