The British Royal Family - news, views, clothes & shoes! #6

[Herat]

The article I read just said that the Queen has visited Harry and Meghan at Frogmore, but it didn't give a date. I think it might have been before William and Kate visited over Easter weekend.

Harry does seem relaxed for a dad who could get the call any moment to say his wife's in labour with their first child, but I can't imagine he'd do engagements between the birth and an official announcement.

If Megan wanted him to do it that way I’m sure he would.

*my snarky opinion only*

 

[Herat]

Well, they did have lots of royal visitors on Easter Sunday.

If this were not her first child, those are usually late.

And Harry did have that amazing grin at the London marathon and the event he had with Kate. Haven't seen him grinning like that in awhile. He looked like a kid with the golden egg.

And isn’t it odd that the current and future monarch of the United Kingdom would take their time to go inspect the Frogmore drapes, carpets, and furniture all of a sudden?

I enjoy trying new recipes but will pass on this one

I've seen a recipe for this before with a slightly different photo, LOL. I must say British cooks have a great sense of humor. I might give it a try when I visit, just to say I did.

I think this was the photo I saw previously

I come back since last night and I see three pages and I got so excited!

But it's all talk about food and no babies Etc.

Dixie, waiting on the new arrival works up an appetite. In my case, fish pie is enough to kill my appetite. My new diet aid - look at pictures of fish pies.

Why the Queen Was Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's First Guest at Frogmore Cottage

 

[Amonet]

Yes, but I was referring to Monaco. Most of us know the Queen changed it for Charlotte and any future females in the British RF. Another mediaeval construct that needs to go. IMO

It doesnt affect any other aristocrats though, just the RF.

I figured there would be plenty of people who weren't aware that the rule had changed for the British monarchy.

The rules for royal accession in Monaco are more complicated as they're based on very ancient rules that allow Monaco to be an independent state but only as long as certain rules are met, one of them being that the king has to have a son to become the next king. But in the UK the monarch and the government can update rules if and when they wish.

What would end up happening to Monaco if they ever faced a true crisis of not having a male heir, I don't know.

 

[Bravo]

I have been trying to figure out a road trip so that the birth will happen. Cant really come up with anything other than errands and shopping. Then I remembered we have a Wedding to go to Saturday eve. It will happen on Saturday.

Actually, looking at all the other ingredients, it seems delicious... and sardines are very good for you. I love sardines in mustard sauce. —And, anchovies, herring, too, etc... But I’m just not used to seeing their poor little faces staring back...

Fascinating. Thanks for the info

I luv horses. I was so mad at my parents when young and they would not let me have one to keep in the garage??? Amazing that the Queen still rides. Good for her.

You & me both! But we even had a stable!! Dang parents...

gregjrichards! Loch Lomand looks lovely! Hope you had a nice celebration with your mom!

I thought so too - thought I missed the baby's birth when I saw 4 pages!!

 

[Keine Engel]

Nope, I told ya, nobody eats that in real life

I just googled "stargazy pie for dinner" and can confirm nobody has tweeted that they've actually eaten it since 2015.

I did find this explanation for it's name, though

Apparently it’s called stargazy pie? I presume because, upon it being served for dinner, most diners become sudden astronomy enthusiasts and opt to go outside.

Since "2015"?
I hope that means your search only went back that far? I can't imagine anyone willingly eating that since 1915

...the unique feature of stargazy pie is fish heads protruding through the crust, so that they appear to be gazing skyward

Who the **** thought that 'unique feature' would be any kind of great
appetitesing appeal?!

*Duh-from wiki but keeps opening in app so can't copy link

It looks like the sort of thing Henry VIII would have liked to have on his banquet table.

Less of that "British cooks" stuff "
I highly doubt that's been cooked by anyone outside of Cornwall for decades

Agree. And he would devour the whole thing

Now I'm imagining what other trivial, nonsense topics are being 'chatted' about right across S.M. whilst waiting for this baby

Oh but it's fun and keeping me sane

Exactly, more 1515 than 2015!

And yes, 2015 was just the most recent time someone on Twitter had it for dinner. Probably about right, averaging 1 stargazy pie made in the UK every 4 years
