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.

Where did Beatrice & Eugenie go to school?

When Harry was told he couldn't be half in half out, he must look at the likes of Zara and think WTF?

I like their portrayal in the Windsors.

And knew Princess Anne very well back in the day (allegedly).

I wondered if Andrew Parker Bowles was there. he had a long distinguished military career and remains close to the Royal Family. He went to Charles and Camilla's wedding and had an official role at Charles's first wedding!

Was Autumn Kelly at the funeral yesterday?

Anne seems to have been the exception to the rule but most of the prominent women in that family get a hard time at some point. Nobody is interested in the men.
Not really. I remember a time, admittedly a VERY long time ago, when she was the one the tabloids loved to bash. Then it filtered through to them that actually she works bloody hard and does a lot of good, and they moved on to the next target - can't remember who, it was so long ago it was probably Princess Michael of Kent, or even Princess Margaret.

"Dignified" "elegant" "poised" how many words can you use for a bunch of very rich people dressed up for their grans funeral. Give it a rest. Yes they looked nice, but so would anyone if money was no object and you had none of the daily life stresses we all face. I think the fawning needs to stop, it's sad their gran died, I don't dispute that, but this nonsense about them looking poised etc 🙄 and pouring over pictures.

She was dressed smartly & very understated in a wool dress, tights & boots but her thick hair & perfect understated makeup screamed wealth.
I habe thick hair, wear understated makeup day to day and I'm dressed like that today.
Yay, I look rich!

Beatrice and Eugenie have had to deal with an awful lot of flack, indirectly. First Fergie in the 90s with her sex and financial scandals, then the revelations about their father. I quite admire them for not clearing off somewhere - they've stayed in the UK in the eye of the storm round Andy. Felt quite sorry for Beatrice on her wedding day - socially distanced, few guests, dad in disgrace, no day for a bride no matter how privileged.

Beatrice's wedding was perfection. She looked stunning in the Queens tiara and the Queens remodelled dress. Her proud grandparents looking on. She looked very happy. Who needs a massive wedding with all the hassle it entails!!

@Georgeskitchen I do think Fergie would be great fun at a dinner part.. Randy Andy not so much.

It’s interesting that Princess Anne’s children, Peter and Zara are very attractive. William and Harry, whose mother was the very beautiful Diana, are not up to that standard. Lol
