To think the Princess Beatrice photos released by e RF are a bit naff?

I love a good Royal wedding I do and was looking forward to seeing the portrait pictures of Beatrice at Buckingham Palace like we have with other royal weddings.

So was disappointed that this is what the RF have released news.sky.com/story/princess-beatrice-wedding-first-photos-from-ceremony-show-royal-in-queens-dress-and-tiara-12031462

I'd love to say she looks gorgeous, and I'm sure she does but I can't tell! Is it just me who thinks they look like they've been taken with an iPhone from afar by a fan in a bush or something?

contrary... this is your nastiness, not mine:
Personally, I'm simply glad that we didn't get to see Sarah Ferguson doing her utmost to make her daughter's wedding day all about her. Which she did at the Brooksbank wedding - rumour had it that Bea's main task as Chief Bridesmaid was to try to keep her mother in check. Also, I'm very glad that a certain former royal also didn't get the opportunity to crassly make the wedding all about her. Perhaps this was the only diplomatic way Bea & Edo could think of not to have Harry and Meghan at their wedding...

I'm ok with the way I am, thanks, I don't post for fans or for spite and I haven't changed my opinion of you, from one random to another.

@MargotMoon

They look like a pair of grinning idiots.
Unpleasant to say that. Nice to see people happy. Just because they are royal doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy their wedding.
TomBradysLeftKneecap · 19/07/2020 15:34

She ready does look stunning and so incredibly happy. I couldn’t care less about the royal family but the photo of them leaving the church with all the flowers above the door warmed even my cold soul.

Interested in this thread?

Lovely photos. They all look relaxed and happy. The flowers round the door are stupendous.

Love the two new photos.

What are you going on about contrary? What has Meghan Markle to do with this? You were talking about Sarah Ferguson.

I'm not a fan of any royal but if I see spite on a thread I'll post if I want to. You carry on doing you and I'll avert my gaze. Yikes...

TomBradysLeftKneecap · 19/07/2020 16:28

Well that certainly sent tumbleweed through the thread....

Pogmella · 19/07/2020 16:47

@LyingWitchInTheWardrobe it’s all Meghan’s fault, hadn’t you heard. Holding her head up high and living her life like she’s just as good as the RF! She totally ruined someone’s wedding by allegedly saying she was pregnant- unforgivable. All the whole poor actual RF like Andrew have to sneak about because of some pesky ‘questions’. Unbelievable! It’s not like he’s taken the shine off a wedding due to any allegations, oh no...

I think this is my favourite royal wedding dress, just incredibly beautiful and regal

user1497787065 · 19/07/2020 17:08

Usually the MN complaints about royal
weddings is the cost to the taxpayer now the complaint is that they have missed out on the razzmatazz of a royal wedding! Hopefully this will make others see that you do not need to have hundreds of guests and spend thousands. It is not all about the wedding, the marriage is what is important.

MintyCedric · 19/07/2020 17:11

I think they're very sweet photos and I am no big fan of the royals.

I like that they've just cracked on and done it rather than holding off for something showier at a later date.

Only 7 digs at Meghan so far.

NerrSnerr · 19/07/2020 17:36

*Oh. Wait. You're a "fan" of Meghan Markle, aren't you? That's what this is about. My comment that perhaps arranging the wedding the way they did, was the only diplomatic way that Bea & Edo could think of to get out of inviting them. Too last minute, too private, too immediate family only (and don't forget, Harry's only Bea's cousin - so extended family!), too still angry with the way Eugenie's wedding became all about "is Meghan pregnant?!", rather than the message of empowerment she was trying to send to other young women with scoliosis scars on their spine out there, who think they're ugly and unworthy of being loved because of them...

Still says more about you.*

Bloody hell I was going to say you need a hobby but I'm guessing this is your hobby. Talk about over thinking. Let them deal with their family politics- why do you even care?

CloudyGladys · 19/07/2020 18:18

Beatrice looks lovely and the dress and tiara are stunning. Interestingly, she has the same position in the RF as the Queen did when she was born - first-born child of the monarch's second son.

backseatcookers · 19/07/2020 19:50

@allthedamnvampires

Photos look fine. She always looks a bit unhinged. Love that they went for something low-key.
Would you feel that someone posting that about your daughter was being a decent person? Saying she always looks unhinged? Not sure what's worse, that or someone saying they look like 'grinning idiots' upthread.
romeolovedjulliet · 19/07/2020 19:57

the photos are great andi love the latest ones.

YettaTessieMarmelstein · 19/07/2020 19:57

I think it is all lovely - the dress, the floral arch, the happy faces and the low-key day. Very appropriate considering the circumstances.

Port1aCastis · 19/07/2020 20:31

she always looks a bit unhinged
Oh how charming

AnneOfQueenSables · 19/07/2020 20:42

I love the photos.The new ones are beautiful too. The dress and the flowers complement her colouring perfectly. I hope they will be very happy.

I reckon Kate took the photos!

Janaih · 20/07/2020 13:32

Is that the tiara that Meghan wanted to wear but the queen said no?
