Just wanted to say how elegant & these women are. They're not in the spotlight as much but they loved their grandmother & grandfather. I'm sure they are very proud of the lovely women they have grown into.

She comes across as a really delightful woman with her feet firmly on the ground. I loved her wedding dress too. I also loved Zara’s.

The floral broaches belonged to Princess Margaret and were a wedding gift do a nod to her mother at her aunts funeral which is lovely

My dad looked like a drinker. He had about two glasses of red wine a year.

I wonder what turned him Tea-total?

But I also knew a tea-total man who looked like a drinker with big beer belly, that was more to di

Hit post too soon

...more to do with diet and a sweet tooth.

Excessive sugar can be as bad for your looks as excessive alcohol.

That article is hilarious. My favourite is William’s ‘likeness’ to what looks like a Victorian painting of Edward I.

I didn't recognise William in that photo. It looks more like his brother in law. Kate's brother James.

Pmsl at Harry/Princess Mary.

It's teetotal 🙄

Dinoteeth · 22/09/2022 15:13

Never written it down before. I always assumed tea-total meant tea was the strongest beverage they'd drink.

So where does teetotal come from?🤔

Golf perhaps 😁 agree tea total makes much more sense given the context!

HelloAvocado · 22/09/2022 15:35

Apparently "teetotal" was originally "teetotal abstinence"- used to indicate that someone abstained totally from alcohol rather than just from spirits. The "tee" bit was just emphasis- a bit like saying "capital T Total".

It is an odd expression.

Princess Michael is just an arsehole.

Unfortunately arseholes can be attractive and lovely people can look like the back end of a bus.

Princess Michael of Kent looked absolutely beautiful on her wedding day.

Yes I'm definitely a tea total teetotaller. A nice slice of cake goes well with it.

@akabluebell

People can make comments about a woman being too thin out of concern for her health. Same goes for people making comments about a woman being too fat.

But a comment by a woman to the effect that she doesnt have fat people in her life is not a comment based on concern.

I know what you mean. Maybe other issues... perhaps all that trapped sweat?

He's just an overweight middle-aged man, which often means 'likes a few beers'. I suspect he comfort eats, because his life is a mess and if you don't drink, well you probably sit around in your 50-room mansion eating crap, don't you?

newnamethanks · 23/09/2022 09:17

Theý all look fine, as they should. You'd look fine with their advantages. It always puzzled me that Fergie, with massive amounts of cash to spend, frequently looked like an overdressed lampshade. Poor advisers perhaps.

newnamethanks · 23/09/2022 09:24

Definitely some Greek or German SafeMove? Whatever could make you say that of the son of Prince Philip of Greece, doubly descended from the Saxe Coburgs? You must be psychic.

SilverLiningPlaybook · 23/09/2022 09:27

Think both Andrew and Fergie look very unwell. If it’s not drink it’s something.. maybe junk food or lack of exercise. The corgis will keep them right!

Really? I think Fergie looks pretty good and vibrant for a woman in her 60s. When you’re a natural ginger, your skin can look translucent and as you get older your eyebrows and eyelashes fade a bit. I think she does a great job at using make up to add definition and looks quite well on it.

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 23/09/2022 12:26

I saw a pic of Fergie recently and I thought her face looked tweaked with botox and fillers.

I feel sorry for the York sisters with their dad being Andrew.
I think they're probably very down to earth. I agree that Beatrice looks very like Queen Victoria

I would question their judgement, though, as they have continued to lobby Charles for their father to have his royal roles and duties reinstated.

If they have, then they should know better.

@antelopevalley I love The Windsors programme and have wondered if any Royals have watched it. I have scoliosis and when I watched Eugenie's wedding was touched that she was perfectly happy to show off her surgery scars from corrective surgery.
