To admire Eugenie a bit more after the wedding?

[malificent7]

I had no clue about her and she has been portrayed as works by etc.
However....she purposely went for a backless dress to show off her scar and had a plastic free wedding. Aibu to admire that?

And according to lip readers, we're not the only ones considering that it was an attempt to keep up with the Sussexs. Zara Tindall turned to Harry and Meghan while still in the pews and apparently said something along the lines of "pretty quiet outside compared to your wedding".

I don't recall Edward and Sophie having all this shebang and he's the Queen's SON.

Having scars myself I find some comments on here abhorrent and vile. Not the scar but the illness nearly broke me (money or lack thereof) didn’t change that so good on her for showing it proudly, that is hugely admirable in someone in the public eye...

I do think the carriage ride was a bit much but suspect that was pushed by her spiteful, bratlike father wanted to be treated the same as his bigger (more important) brother ....

Congratulations to the obviously happy couple

If I were Eugenie I’d also be hugely embarrassed by the reports in this mornings Times that Prince Andrew allegedly boasted about them having 200 or so more guests than H & M. hmm er so what?

She might be, for all we know. Whatever else you think about her, she can't really be held responsible for what her parents do or say.

Rather pay for Eugenie's wedding than pay security for Trump's vanity visit to England. He soon scuttled off to Scotland.

I didn't know much about her tbh but she's bright (2 As and B a levels, 2:1 from good uni), works hard and seems pretty normal. Goes to gigs in the standing zone, drinking beer....no fuss.

Is she DEFINITELY Andrew's daughter?

Eugenie is of no consequence or importance to us, that carriage ride was an unnecessary unaffordable extravagance done to indulge their inflated sense of entitlement. Trump, whether we like him or not is someone of vital importance to the UK. But if we do wish to think of something better to spend our money on rather than Trumps security, why not think of something worthwhile......the queens worth £365 million, she should have paid it. People can barely feed themselves, foodbanks, homelessness, sanctions, zero hours contracts, but we throw obscene amounts of money at this one unelected family. Shameful.

NO she really doesn’t work hard either.

No need for Harry and Megan to have a carriage ride either to be honest.

I will admit to being a royalist (though more the Scandinavian houses having grown up there) I thought out of all the newer wedding dresses we have seen of the current royal younger sisters/sons hers was the nicest dress of them all. Fitted her beautifully and she looked so in love. I loved that.

Agree totally @Thymeout and @TooManyPaws.

And the security costs for Trump aren't really comparable. That'd be the same for any prominent head of state. It wasn't just because it was Trump personally, Obama probably cost as much when he visited.

"I don't recall Edward and Sophie having all this shebang and he's the Queen's SON."

Edward and Sophie also had a televised wedding with 550+ guests and a carriage ride.

"So she has the black Archbishop of York."

Eugenie was Princess Eugenie OF YORK (now she has lost the 'of York' bit).

"Suddenly we're hearing about E's scoliosis op. It's embarrassing."

Eugenie has been talking about it since 2012 at least:

Eugenie looked stunning, you can no more blame her for being born into royalty than you can blame a beggar for being born on the streets. It is important what she does with her privilege, best wishes to them both

Best wishes to her and her husband.

She looked nice and her wedding seemed nice. I don't really think any more of her than anyone else. Apart from the money she seems very average. She's fine but not talented like Meghan Markle or terribly interesting.

Of course she cant help who’s she’s born into. But she’s surely not dumb enough not to be aware of the problems faced by the rest of the country. .How lacking in awareness to demand that expensive unnecessary carriage ride whilst people up and down the country are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. . Being born into wealth and privilego is no excuse for such lack of concern. But there you go, that huge sense of entitlement runs deep.

justnice has summed it up

I like the royal family and I like the York girls although their style is awful. That second dress of Eugenies - the boobs! no bra!

Yes, she has a job, but come on, if you had like 20 applicants for a job and one of them was Eugenie, who are you realistically going to give the job to? Someone from the RF who will get your company/brand known or joe bloggs? I doubt she had to apply actually.

Exactly - crass in the extreme. (We're all in this together - aye, so we are 🙄)

She didn't (yes I do know that for a fact), nor is it 'a job' as those of us on contracts are).

She had a nice dress 🙄, she looked 'in love' ("whatever love means", Uncle Charles) and her husband looked 'nice'. Geez.

We are talking about another member of this parasitic family robbing the public purse at will, despite having the financial means to fund the whole shebang themselves and show some sensitivity to the beleaguered taxpayer.

.....on contracts would recognise 'a job' to be.

Sorry, it's late

FFS. The wedding cost the taxpayers 2 million pounds. Homeless people were moved before the wedding as not to offend the rich. How in any way does she deserve credit? They are privileged beyond words in a society where child poverty is the highest for 60 years and we have public sector workers using food banks

Agreed - not to mention prison officers, so understaffed they are risking their lives - no exaggeration, their lives every day to protect us from the most dangerous people in our country, NHS staff pressurised on a daily basis to make life and death decisions while knackered through overwork and teachers, battered on all sides by criticism while trying to manage an education system that is never stable!
But hey - lets chuck millions at the wedding of two rich kids who do not provide any free public service to any of us! ( a wedding that they and all 4 of their parents could have afforded out of their spare change)

Here on MN we've often told brides that "he who pays the piper" etc. Do you really think that a young woman going up against a father like Airmiles Andy and Fergie (who would have jumped at this opportunity to attempt to return from her exile of sorts) who obviously wanted a spectacle of a wedding had much of a say in it all?

She can't help her grabby parents. Or who her gran is, or her cousins or uncle is. All she can do is try to plan a wedding that satisfies all. I've a normal family and doing a small wedding due to budget and even then I'm finding it very trying! The Groom looked like a registry office with a peeling lino floor would have sufficed, so did his family, as their nerves were quite obvious. All things considered, I think they managed to pull off a decent wedding.

Regarding security, imagine something happened in that church, a bomb or a nut with a machine gun, for example. The monarch, and the next three in line to the throne were in attendance. Just in terms of lineage there, that would be a disaster. Then you have the actual human cost of it all. How could you begrudge 2m quid considering that whenever they gather, they become an irresistible target for terrorism. Here in Ireland we provide security for heads of state. For those who volunteer for the position. The royals are in an odd position in that for many of them, they didn't have a choice in the matter. And even if they distance themselves like Zara and other minor royals, it makes damn all difference. Title or no, they are still vulnerable to risk due to who their family are. To me the cost is a necessary evil that must be borne. But if it were me and I was told that my gran, uncle and cousins coming to my wedding would result in a big bill due to the job they have damn right I'd be saying I'll not pick up the tab for the extra cost.

@MiggledyHiggins The £2m wasn't for the church, Windsor has plenty of security to cover that as is. It was solely for the carriage ride, which was fairly unnecessary.

Imagine a police officer guarding parliament being killed because he didn't have any property safety equipment on to defend himself against a knife attack. Just happened this year.

Imagine prison officers being told they face being killed any day because they are so outnumbered by prisoners who have remarkable access to drugs, phones and weapons. Happens every day.

Imagine ordinary law abiding citizens being burgled, raped, mugged or attacked while no timely or appropriate response is given by the police because they are so understaffed.

Imagine your parent waiting hours for an ambulance while lying on the pavement having a heart attack - because there is such a shortage of ambulance crews to respond to emergencies.

All lives are equal - the royal family is not entitled to divert resources away from essential public services that benefit us all. A carriage ride round Windsor was an unnecessary and extravagant indulgence, by an extravagant and overindulged family (who can opt out of titles and privilege ant time they choose)

Tabloids and her parents have a lot to answer for! The girl did well.

'Tabloids' only exist because people clamour for gossip which is none of their business. Blame the people that do that.
