The British Royal Family - news, views, clothes & shoes! #8

[Herat]

All in all, the Brits have the Tiara game well in hand. And great thanks to Queen Mary and her magpie inclinations in snapping up the best tiaras around.

And...he even walked out there barefoot while exiting the yacht.

She's got a regal face and good hair. I think she needs a bigger tiara with more colorful stones than those puny ones she has. The one on the bottom right of the composite looks like a necklace, not at all like a real tiara

“I'll bet there are heirs of hers hoping desperately that they don't inherit THAT tiara”

Well, that would be one way to guarantee family members were super nice and respectful to you. LOL!

The Duke of Edinburgh hasn’t got any time for the Duchess of York after the embarrassment she caused the royals. It was hoped after Eugenie’s wedding things might have improved but obviously not.

Ferguson has an astonishing history of financial malfeasance, and having extremely poor judgement about who she went to for money.

This, itself, should be of concern to the royal family and Prince Philip is certainly not going to forget this.

I also think high carat gold isn't a great choice on her with her coloring. She would have been better with platinum and a lot of good sparkly diamonds. (IMHO)

But I have exactly 0 tiaras and just making a guess of it all.

I would accept the Prince Charles is "real" about his environmental impact and footprint, when he flies in commercial airlines, instead of a private aircraft for visiting foriegn countries.

Markle's Birthday Cake

Meghan Markle's birthday cake revealed | Daily Mail Online

I don't understand carrot sponge cake. Carrot cake should be dense ( IMHO). Dense with carrots, raisins, pineapple chunks, walnuts. As much as I love a sponge cake ( and lord knows I do), carrot sponge sounds weird.

And there is no way anyone is putting rosemary sprigs on top to decorate my cake. Ugh. Might as well put pine needles on it. There's a horrible risk (IMHO) of catching one of the needles as you cut it and having to bit into the sharp bit. And what is the brown stuff on it between the citrus and rosemary? The decoration isn't really pretty. They need to get Mary Berry in there for a lesson

As a massive devotee' of the British Baking Show, this would be a fail. Sorry ladies, re-d0 the concept.

Bear Grylls would know a lot about eating ants.... was he trying to give Prince George wilderness survival tips?

Oh, BURN

Wow Madame Tussauds really knows how to put someone down. That celebrity room is creepy, as is most all of the Madame Tussauds's stuff on people who are contemporary and often photographed. Markle looks very pedestrian there. I guess that's David Beckham to her left ? She's on the level with Prianka Chopra (whomever that is).

Back to tiaras:

Queen Margrethe's tiara would have been better if she had used smaller gold flowers and a lot more of them. It could have been quite dazzling with many flowers about 1/2 to 1/3 the size they are. A halo of pretty gold flowers over her.

And smaller flowers on her earrings, too. I think they flowers in the crown & earrings are just too large to carry off, especially with the delicate gold embroidery on the dress.

And yes, I have no Tiaras. (I have no Tiaras today)

 

[Herat]

And back to Tiaras

I think a variation of the hat Camilla had for her wedding done in gold would be a fantastic Tiara. Smaller in scale , and with wheat sheafs on one side, but in gold would be gorgeous

(That's not really the best photo of it but it does give the effect)

Hmm, I wonder if there is a training program for Tiara Designers

OK, one more silly.....

I am fascinated by fascinators.

This has made me giggle all morning long

I still don’t understand why Beatrice would wear such a stupid “fascinator”.

It seems so disrespectful to William and Kate to try to attract the attention of photographers at their wedding.

 

[Laughing]

A lady, a Lady, and a Queen have only one head. That means wearing only one single lone tiara at a time.

She could share, don't you think?

JMHO YMMV

I agree. It wasn’t even particularly becoming to her, although the cat would have helped!

Actually... now that I think of it...

Sarah Ferguson was NOT invited to that wedding.

So did Ferguson have a hand in guiding her daughter to
wear something outrageous, or did Beatrice come up with this herself?

IIRC the best guess gossip was it was revenge for not inviting her mother so maybe there was something to that.
