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.

Beatrice and Eugenie are 2 of my favourite characters in The Windsors.

I’m surprised but that. He looks like a drinker to me. He doesn’t look fit or well.

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

They all looked elegant. One thing I notice though is what poor posture a lot of the Royals have. It surprises me as I would have thought they would be taught this.

I think some of the women wear very high heels and it has an impact on posture.

Yes, they're hilarious and pretty much how I imagine them to be in real life. Fergie is hilarious too, with that hoarse voice. Hullo gurrllss!

Made me laugh to hear that Bea had an embarrassing moment when her visa card got rejected several times at Glastonbury this summer. Wasn't there a whole Windsors storyline about her slumming it at Glastonbury?

ColeensBoot · 20/09/2022 20:54

They do posture work at finishing school. Maybe the young uns didn't go to finishing school

CallMeLinda · 20/09/2022 20:58

I think they are all very poised. Beatrice and Eugenie, AFAIK, have never done anything negative to get into the press, have they? They can't help who their parents are, which I think is where a lot of the criticism has come from.

Princess Michael of Kent still looks fantastic but us apparently a force to be reckoned with.... Poor Sophie Windsor (nee Winkleman aka Big Suze from Peep Show) having her as a mother in law... Sophie Windsor also looked stunning yesterday

how do i find the instagram page and their statement?

On the royal family Instagram. If you scroll to the photograph of them as children with the Queen and her Corgis, their statement is underneath.

Princess Michael is just an arsehole.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/09/2022 21:11

in what way is she an arsehole, princess michael?
i know the pair recently retired and believe they lived in a house that has now been given to someone else, in the slimmed down royal family.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/09/2022 21:11

thank you @MrJi

She wore a Blackamoor brooch when going for dinner with Meghan. She has been heard racially abusing waiting staff. She's a horrible woman.

ReneBumsWombats · 20/09/2022 21:17

PM has a history of racist comments.

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

I hadn’t seen the similarity. But yes, you’re right. I googled and came across a very interesting article about RF resemblance to ancestors. It is a daily mail one but from 2009 and has a lot of examples, including a couple from many centuries past, which I would think more coincidence than genetic. www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1222921/The-throne-clones-How-Royal-Family-inherited-just-titles.html

I think everyone was very well dressed.

I have seen several posts on how the royal men lose their looks young. I think the opposite is true of some of the women. Beatrice and Eugenie have really blossomed with age.

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

StartupRepair · 21/09/2022 02:52

The 80s were a wild time in fashion and quite unforgiving for someone like Fergie who made some wild choices.

Going back and looking at photos of previous royals in comparison to today is fascinating.

The poster who was saying about Beatrice being a dead ringer for Victoria is spot on. There's a portrait of Victoria at her wedding and you can really see it.

And Charlotte looks just like the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret as kids! I'd love to know who Charles looks like from his ancestors. His looks are so interesting - there is definitely some greek or german in him.

In some shots during the course of the funeral he looked the spitting image of Lord Mountbatten.

I disagree, I’ve never seen Zara look what I might call elegant, she seems a very functional dresser, which is like her mother. I’m pleased to see the York sisters dress their age (instead of older & dowdy) and appear to enjoy fashion. I’ve never thought Katherine was particularly stylish, I thought her best look was last year at a premiere (I think it was). However, Megan always looks amazing to me, lovely makeup, elegant, wears clothes beautifully.

No, I think finishing school doesn’t really exist anymore. Certainly none of the younger Royals went. It was for Aristos who intended to marry well and breed children.

@Mummyoflittledragon Queen Mary consort is essentially Charles in a wig as opposed to princess Anne , the likeness is uncanny !!

I'd like to see her in shoes that aren't too big for her, more often than not they seem half a size too big.

I don’t know why PW and PH haven’t paid for hair transplants. They could have slipped extra hair in over time and we’d have been none the wiser…😂😉

Does anyone know if Camilla’s children and grandchildren were at the funeral? Oh the complexities of blended families.

Yes, they were mentioned on the tv as they entered the service.

Shapeshifter5 · 21/09/2022 09:59

Kate's parents Carole & Michael were also in attendance, Carole looked beautiful

Her wedding dress was stunning wasn't it?

I loved the brooches in her hair, the same that she wore for the funeral.
