And if not, it looks as though I've hidden it. Can anyone tell me how to unhide it?

@BradfordGirl Harry himself says there was no fitting. The dresses were made from measurements and the dresses arrived 4 days before the wedding. Piss poor planning if you ask me.
Incidentally, my flower girl had a dress from BHS and it was perfect

"also wonder why if Megan was so stressed she didn't delegate dresses and wedding to some of her staff and maybe ask Kate to contact one of them and not her."

She did delegate it. To the tailor that was standing by at KP.

But sending a text explaining that left her in tears on the floor.

I was wondering why she didn't say Kate - I've got enough on at minute Karen's dealing with that could you please text her about wedding stuff - thanks.

But I think you knew that was what I meant - why not get some staff to deal with all the wedding stuff that was apparently stressing her out and focus on fun bits and the drama with her Dad and wider family.

@cynthiasrevels I agree with your post. I wondered why the wedding was scheduled so close to Prince Louis of Wales' birth. Don't the RF have to align these important dates? Maybe H&M insisted that the wedding goes ahead so soon after the due date and weren't going to compromise?

Harry, please do shut up now. Enough of this petty nonsense. Focus on your wife and life and let everyone else get on with things. You won't change the media and you lucked out in that your wife is American and you can happily live there. Onwards and upwards.

@Orangefir We have no idea if there had been the one fitting or more than one fitting.
And being honest I think picking over the details of another woman's wedding in this way is pretty trashy.

This thread wouldn’t exist if the woman in question’s own husband could keep his silly trap shut.

Lightningfast · 09/01/2023 20:27

@JaneJeffer it’s the Mumsnet founder and the Daily Telegraph you need to tell - I’m just going off what they have been saying 😁

@piedbeauty Having a fitting is perfectly normal for handmade bridesmaids dresses. Children grow.

Yes, of course, but one fitting four days before the wedding?? That seems bonkers.

@JaneJeffer and @Lightningfast maybe people are confusing "thread" and "topic board"? ie all royal/Harry and Meghan threads are being put on RF board instead of, say, aibu or chat?

Yes but the article was wrong about other things too which I could point out if I had access to the RF board Grin

Yes when they combined or deleted topics in the past MNHQ have always consulted users, and it's usually because traffic on those topics is slow.

Also it's really concerning that MNHQ didn't know it had been deleted.

MI5 at work.....only half joking

BradfordGirl · 09/01/2023 20:25

@MoscowMules I actually think Camilla had the best wedding dress of all. She has a good styler.

JaneJeffer · 09/01/2023 20:25

Lightningfast · 09/01/2023 20:24

@JaneJeffer Yes, from the interview it seems that all the original separate threads got consolidated into one single thread.

That's what I'm telling you, it's wrong!

Orangefir · 09/01/2023 20:24

BradfordGirl · 09/01/2023 20:23

Do you sew for children? You do know children grow?

Hence why you need at least two fittings and not have the first one 4 days before the wedding

The bridesmaids' dresses don't look like they've been properly fitted at all, certainly not fitted by a couture house. They honestly look like they've been bought off the peg from British Home Stores.

Especially when you compare to the photo on here of Eugenie’s bridesmaids. They look scruffy and unpolished in comparison.

TLDR, so I haven’t seen this whole thread.

can someone please tell me why the Royal Family board has been deleted? Is it going to be reinstated? I love checking in on it every so often to see what people were saying.

surely deleting it will just push people to talk about it on other boards, which seems frowned upon at the minute?

Dark forces are at work

BradfordGirl · 09/01/2023 20:24

British Home Stores!! I wish that store still existed if I could buy as nice off the peg dresses as those.

Aww, we were having fun in the teddy bear thread talking about our own childhood teddy bears! I want that thread back. 🥺

MoscowMules · 09/01/2023 20:23

For the PP that said the dresses were better at Eugenie's wedding, absolutely agree.

Eugenie's wedding,is my all time favourite royal wedding 🥰

It was magnificent, it was perfection.

I preferred it to W&K's too. 🤣

@cynthiasrevels are you saying Harry should have delayed their wedding because Kate had a baby? Or do you think they told her to drop the baby weight for the photos? 😆

MountedbyHarryWindsor · 09/01/2023 20:22

Justine seems to be u turning / giving in on a few things, I've noticed. Wonder why?
