Stunningly beautiful, Lady Kitty Spencer, Princess Diana’s niece in Lake Como Italy.
I met Charles Spencer, father of Lady Kitty, at Althorp Estate in 2010 and amongst other conversation I told him how much I admired Princess Diana.

The threats to Harry and Meghan are from fringe groups, hidden behind online anonymity as individuals, but representing groups crusading for ideologies that have seen an uptick over the last decade.

We certainly know this in the US with the mass shootings in synagogues, churches, mosques, and violence in Charlottesville, and terrorism, and bomb threats to the press, etc.

So, while it is neither the sentiment of the US or Britain public in general, in fact just the opposite, these groups percolate their hatred and see certain targets as opportunistic.

The welcoming of Meghan into the royal family says everything about the BRF and the sentiment of the Brits— welcoming, and kind.

These threats are wholly different than the catty comment sections of online pubs (like the DM) where people are shredding everyone, not just the royal family...

In the past, many Royals and titled were highly unattractive.And the fact that there was so much interbreeding caused a lot of unfortunate features.

How has it come to be that there are such beauties as Lady Kitty?

Queen Elizabeth was very lovely younger. Queen Victoria, no.

No! I know you weren't
It was to make it clear that overall it's just not a 'thing'.
By that I mean not just in a 'racist' capacity of any kind, but in any capacity.
It's altogether a 'non-issue'
If that makes sense? lol

I do realise you're probably unaware so I should also point out that 'aphorism' may be somewhat inappropriate -

Gorgeous gown on gorgeous gal

If I were styling Meghan I’d look at Alicia Keys.

Alicia is what photographers call angel proof, gorgeous from all angles. And she has worn just about every hair style.

The volume of waves or curls softens the face, particularly an angular face like Meghan’s.

Meghan has a certain smoldering quality, she could update her hairdo and look fab.

Here’s another pic of Lady Kitty in her gown, full view. I agree, gorgeous...

OMG, that dress is fabulous!

WOW

That dress is fabulous! She is by far the best-dressed Royal. Super-gorgeous

Andrew’s ties to Jeffery Epstein

Jeffrey Epstein threw a party in honor of Prince Andrew in 2010 | Daily Mail Online

The claim is that they ended in 2010

Yet the next year, in 2011 Epstein paid off part of the hapless Sarah Ferguson’s debt to an employee of hers. She reportedly owed the employee ~$100,000 and Epstein paid the employee $18,000.

Of course, she didn’t report that gift

And thant was AFTER she was caught in an influence-peddling sting where she was going to provide a “Saudi businessman” special access to Prince Andrew for $500,000.

IMHO Neither Andrew or Sarah Ferguson are the least bit trustworthy

The Duchesses are going to Wimbledon! Kate will join Meghan to watch her pal Serena Williams in the Women's Final tomorrow - a year after their first joint solo outing at the tournament

OMG - This Pic!

Pictured, Kate, Louis, Meghan and Archie at the charity match on Wednesday afternoon
​

Kate seen genuinely laughing actually in the same shot with....MEGHAN ?
From all the pics someone decided to go with this?
At the Daily Mail ??

I'm nervously suspicious could the pertinaciously, pompous Piers possibly, MAYBE, just MAYBE ...

- Yeah I know, probably not - LOL​

In the past, many Royals and titled were highly unattractive.And the fact that there was so much interbreeding caused a lot of unfortunate features.

How has it come to be that there are such beauties as Lady Kitty?

Queen Elizabeth was very lovely younger. Queen Victoria, no.

That comes from her mother...

Victoria, Viscountess Althorp, when she married Charles Spencer, then Viscount Althorp - 1989

The mother-daughter duo posed for the cover of Harpers & Queen in 1992, when Kitty was just a year old.

^^ What great pics. Lady Kitty has the best of both. She’s definitely got the Spencer English Rose complexion, and in certain pics she really evokes Diana, and then beautiful bone structure from her mom.

Her mom looks great.

Never heard that before. Thanks for the heads up. After researching further, I will amend that idiom to “Call it what it is” from now on.

And Viscount Spencer, the next Earl (name Louis!) Holy hotness

What a handsome fellow. He looks as through he has reddish hair, and he seems to resemble Harry, the Spencer side, clearly

 

[SideEyeDiana]

This is George McCorquodale, Diana’s sister Sarah’s son, that red hair!

George looks so much like young Harry!

And thank you for those lovely photos of Diana with her sisters. It’s really nice to see them all so happy and clearly enjoying each other’s company, and makes their inclusion in Archies christening photos so much more significant, I feel.

I knew it was quite commonly used many years ago.
I was quite shocked when I was looking for a link to explain that's when I came across that recent article I also linked

(And yeah it was the police using it when I heard it back then)

I can't say I've actually heard it used in RL for a long, long time thou.

But I realised it must not have been known 'wide spread' as being used commonly in that manner so it was only a general trivia f.y.i.
