Don't want to make this a TAAT, so I'll just say I have enjoyed everyone's observations on the royal family and it's made a boring weekend go much quicker Grin

Please continue if you wish to......

Also agree that Diana is a total knockout in that dress.

QueenOfTheCroneAge · 28/04/2019 18:08

But we have avocados @Dongdingdong

MagicKingdomDizzy · 28/04/2019 18:08

Iamnotagoddess That looks like something you sit on after you give birth Grin

Gift ideas for Harry perhaps?

Prince William Dad dancing

Iamnotagoddess · 28/04/2019 18:09

Exactly!

OVienna · 28/04/2019 18:10

Are we allowed to start a baby name thread? Including but not limited to alliterative options (I can't think of any.)

Maybe one of our suggestions would get passed back!!!

I'll start with girls:

Alexandra Diana Rose
Verity Doria Mary

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 28/04/2019 18:11

ByeClaire I think it was the photo of her wearing the same friendship bracelet that PH was pictured wearing.
I bet they can't wait for Baby Sussexes arrival, excited but apprehensive also. I was when DD was imminent.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 28/04/2019 18:14

Iamnotagoddess I love that, much better than all the unicorn, shark & toucan floats that were bobbing around our holiday pool this summer.

Dongdingdong · 28/04/2019 18:15

With the PW dad dancing vid, where he puts his hand on that girl’s waist - would you be annoyed if your DH did that or am I being over-sensitive?

Also I notice the video has been slowed right down in that bit, possibly to make it look like he’s really lingering with the girl when he’s probably doing no such thing Hmm

I am very shallow, my fascination started with the clothes, jewellery, I just loved all the glamour as a teenager. As I have aged like a fine wine I now appreciate the Queen as a steady hand on the tiller. She has seen so much change in her life time shaken so many hands, dined with the great, good and the downright evil with never a wrong step. She has seen countries come and go. What a life she has had.

QueenOfTheCroneAge · 28/04/2019 18:15

He looks like a sales office manager at the work's do in the dancing vid

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 28/04/2019 18:15

Francesca Sophia Alexandra
Sophia Alexandra Olga

MagicKingdomDizzy · 28/04/2019 18:16

Ooooh I think Dorothea as a nod to her mum. Diana will be a middle name obvs.

Alexandra is a good bet too.

They probably have a list of approved names to pick from for the first name, and a little more freedom with the middle ones. That's where Meghan will go off piste because she's so trendy and fabulous.

Love you Meghan ♥

That was one of the clues. The other photo hinting at their relationship was two bananas spooning; I know it was I as I checked before saying that. If you don’t believe me google it.

percheron67 · 28/04/2019 18:22

Queen of Crone …..…………… again you amaze me - just googled Sootikins!! I thought it must be the name of a cat. Going to lay down now.

UnPocoLoco2 · 28/04/2019 18:23

Their lives are interesting because they are so secretive. So maybe YANBU

I'll just say something and leave it at that and won't comment further

  1. If any of us were unemployed the government would put us on universal credit
2.i would love to be given a free 10 bedroom house with a free renovation ( all paid for by the tax payer) Just sayin.......
ByeClaire · 28/04/2019 18:24

I think they’ll have a middle name (one of the middle names) that’s a nod to Meghan’s African heritage.

MrsLeBon2 · 28/04/2019 18:24

Remember Diana’s ‘revenge dress’? Maybe Kate will appear in something similar soon. She’d look great!

Like this?

QueenOfTheCroneAge · 28/04/2019 18:27

It's not me, it's MN. I saw it on MN and posters said not to google it.

Iamnotagoddess · 28/04/2019 18:28

Sootikins Envy not envy

TartanHare · 28/04/2019 18:29

I am so truly terrified to Google sootikins. I sometimes shout this out of my back door when I want the cat to come home. Shock
I have no idea what it mean and really hope my neighbours don't either

spaniorita · 28/04/2019 18:30

A sootikin is a lovely name for something really grim. How would soot get up there?!?!

Iamnotagoddess · 28/04/2019 18:32

Is honestly really disgusting and I am quite tough ... 🤢🤮

AppleKatie · 28/04/2019 18:32

Just spent a happy half an hour catching up with this thread. I think I only missed the last couple of posts of the last one.

Having read it I’m amazed it was the MM bashing MN found most distasteful of all. But there’s nowt so queer as folk I suppose.

KM’s not the type for a revenge dress imo. More personal power than she had before. More likely.

If it’s all true which I genuinely hope it isn’t.
