I don't believe that I've ever heard Camilla speak, and not sure if I've ever heard Anne either. Both speaking here. Just came across this and thought to share here

That's the most words I've ever heard from Camilla. Very plummy!!

Yes love it and no it hasn’t been seen since the famous black dress she wore when PC admitted his affair in TV - iIrc
(It’s the last time I remember her wearing it)

You'll fit right in here when we're back to wittering on about jewels

I’ve always been curious about what the Queen gifted and loaned her - did it all go back at her death? I would guess all the loaner stuff did but I think the sapphire brooch was a gift? I will have to go research this - thanks

SAY WHAT ???

I'm in BC ... if the Sussexes move to our fine province, I shall try to cosey up to them and invite them to join. Tricia or beach will have the very interesting job of verifying them

We’re counting on you SB!

I love all the gifts that Camilla gets from her tours!! They are so beautiful.

Wow, I would much prefer to be a chancellor of a university (as Camilla and Anne are) than to sell t-shirts and lip gloss on a web site. But hey, everyone is different.

Aaah I see.. merci HKP. Cajuns are awfully fond of sautéed frog legs here. Those legs look like little dancers to me! Noooo!!

Cuisses au chocolat? Yum

Serious question @sillybilly (and anyone else in BC) - how are the locals that actually live there taking the news of an impending move? Will they be welcomed with open arms but left to get on with a more "normal life"?

(aside from you trying to sign them up here, obviously!)

Well, there are probably a few reasons for that. First, William and Kate have been married much longer than Harry & Meghan. I don't think girlfriends or dates of the RF are allowed to wear those heirloom pieces. Kate also attends many more formal functions as the wife of PW. Apparently, Meghan prefers not to attend so many royal functions as evidenced by her decision with Harry to "step away" from royal duties. She was pregnant through much of their first year of marriage, so that also likely limited the number of formal functions she chose to attend.

BBM Fun fact of the day - royal women are not allowed to wear tiaras until they're married. I didn't realise this until Eugenie commented after her wedding "I’ve never worn a tiara before in my life. It was the most incredible thing to wear such a piece of history that my grandmother had lent me, it was a very proud moment."
