Bugger! Thank you pedant! I have promoted myself to Her Majesty now!

HMQueenElizabeth · 30/05/2012 20:47

Clara I think you have proved it once and for all. It's all in the eyes!

"The Quuen was punching a over her weight, looks wise, in marrying Prince Philip"

Rubbish! The Queen was a stunner in her youth.

TheOneWithTheCrown · 30/05/2012 21:03

I agree CaveMum

MrsBucketxx · 30/05/2012 21:11

I'm not saying that she was not attractive just that pp was better looking than her jeesh. I'm not bashing the queen.

Yes but PP was absolutely SKINT in his youth and his family were in exile. I read he had one shirt which he had to wash out every night when he stayed at people's country piles. He hasn't had to do that since he proposed!

MrsBucketxx · 30/05/2012 21:30

i do wonder if it was as much as a love match for him as for her, HM was clearly besotted with him.

I've often wondered too Mrs Bucket (or is it pronounced Bouquet?) Smile

I think they genuinely like each other though.

YouOldSlag · 30/05/2012 21:32

I mean, there still seems to be a warm bond and he makes her laugh, but yeah, she was besotted all right.

MrsBucketxx · 30/05/2012 21:37

defo bucket, though i can be a snob at times sense the name.

MrsBucketxx · 30/05/2012 21:40

yes i think he is very fond of her too, and love her still in his own way. He still has that naughty sexy twinkle even now.

Oh yes indeed- did you see him leering at Carla Bruni Sarkozy that time? He was like a cat that's found a mouse.

MsPaperbackWriter · 30/05/2012 21:50

Really, what a pointless, nasty thread. Of course he is charle's son.

Hullygully · 30/05/2012 21:51

why of course?

MrsBucketxx · 30/05/2012 21:53

i get that now paper if you had read the thread he looks like his maternal aunt, and pp in his youth.

MamaMary · 30/05/2012 22:09

OP, you're totally wrong. He does look like Charles. In fact he looks more like Charles than William does, and what's more he looks like Prince Philip too.

Diana met James Hewitt two years after Harry was born.

MamaMary you need to read the thread. The op gets it. Really she does. :)

I love this picture

SaliFourth · 30/05/2012 22:39

I think if you saw this pic without knowing who these two are, you might well say doesn't the son look just like his dad?

MrsBucketxx · 30/05/2012 22:47

love that pic bronze :o

Prince Philip might have been poor - but he was a Prince of Greece, so pretty good breeding there! Infact, aren't he and the Queen third cousins or something?

CaveMum · 31/05/2012 08:16

Prince Philip is the oldest living great-great grandchild of Queen Victoria, being descended from Victoria's daughter Princess Alice.

The Queen is also a great-great grandchild of Queen Victoria, being descended from Victoria's son King Edward VI.

According to Wikipedia, in 1993 they used some of Prince Philip's DNA to help to identify the remains of Empress Alexandra of Russia and her family, as she was also descended from Princess Alice of England.

YouOldSlag · 31/05/2012 08:32

Agreed- his breeding is impeccable.

CaveMum · 31/05/2012 08:44

I've just realised my last post makes me sound all professory-nerdy, which I ain't! That was all copied from Wikipedia Grin

YouOldSlag · 31/05/2012 09:05

CaveMum- you're secret's safe with me (and the internet. Smile

I got my knowledge from reading The Royals by Kitty Kelley- Oooh it's a juicy read! (I haven't old any of my RL friends I've read it though).
