That's right Blue, Penny has gone through one of the most horrendous things that can ever happen. Her daughter Leonora was only 5 when she died from cancer.
Doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, famous or not, no ones child should go before them.

Are you really saying you do not understand the benefits to the economy of the Royal Family? Tourism to see them and London runs into billions ( £1.8 billion in 2017)

countries like France manage just as well, and tourism would benefit a lot more if places like Buckingham Palace were opened all year round - we are already paying for them (directly or indirectly) anyway, might as well make more money out of them.

It's a fairly open "secret" that the DoE is in a LTR with Penny Mountbatten and HM was in a LTR with Lord Porcester (until he died). Prince Andrew is rumoured to be Porcester's son.

Prince Andrew is rumoured to be Porcester's son.. Really? Nooooo! Where did you hear that?

There are some stupid posts on this thread and some sad posters. Sad as in pathetic and embarrassing.

Another small point is that Lord Porchester died on 11th September 2001 - in other words, what became known as 9/11

The famous quote from the queen - "grief is the price we pay for love" - was rumoured by be inspired by his death, rather than the more infamous events of the day

Wow they kept that quiet!!!!

Ooh I can totally see a resemblance!

I can't.

Neither can I, that's hilarious.

There's absolutely no resemblance, going off that photo.

There is somewhat of a resemblance between Princess Eugenie & Pochy’s grand daughter Lady Saoirse Herbet

PA has a totally different facial structure to Lord Porchester, but a similar one to the DoE.

The muck rakers are out in full force today

i wondered about that too, the porcester link

Oh I definitely see it. I’m not one for conspiracy theories. I hadn’t heard this one before this thread. I googled porchester, (never heard back of him before) and instantly saw a resemblance.

I hope the ones who think there is a resemblance there are never asked to pick somebody out in an identity parade.

From my perspective i hope those that can’t see it never are!

Government papers around the time of Andrew's brith are also sealed for a very long time. Longer than normal.

Some years ago [ saw a photo of Lord Porchester at the age Andrew then was. I could certainly see a resemblance.
I used to think my father looked like the King, and when I found out that Dad''s family came from Hanover I was convinced we were related to Royalty.

Even allowing for the fact that none of us really has a clue what she's like in 'real life', QEll is probably the very last person I could imagine having an affair and bringing a 'cuckoo into the nest'. At the time of his birth, Andrew was next in line after Charles. No way the queen would risk having an heir out of wedlock.

Wish Queenie would one day stick two fingers up and tell folk exactly what she thought of them questioning her second son's parentage

I know it's an unseemly rumour but Andrew's claim to the throne is through the matriarchal line, and as Phillip is the legally named father, he isn't nor will he ever be a "declared bastard" like some of the sons of Kings.

Lord P has a granddaughter. She could pass for Eugenie's sister far more than Beatrice.

From my perspective i hope those that can’t see it never are!

Great come back!

My son looks like Boris Johnson but I can categorically reassure you that I have never had sexual relations with that man.
