To find the royal family fascinating?

[MagicKingdomDizzy]

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

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

Yeah apparently Victoria and Albert were utter sex addicts (they did have 9 children who all hated her).

Yes it's weird to think she was only 36 when she died. In my memory she was much older!

I just Googled the Diana at the gym photosthey are hilarious leotard over cycling shorts - there was outrage at the time (what if it was a bomb?!) .

Is pretty clear though that she knew the camera was there and probably planted but herself!

Totally agree. Just love the secretive smile.

Is this the cellulite shot?
No. I suspect that was the antidote to the CS.

no the cellulite shot was where she was wearing similar very short shorts but with a tshirt or something over the top, and there were marks on the back of her thighs - big media debate about whether it was cellulite or had she been sitting on one of those plastic chairs which leave marks on you.

Which brings me on to another very important question (or two): whenever I cross my legs, I get red marks on the inside of my knees. This does not appear to happen to royals/slebs - why not? And in the case of the royals, how the fuck to they manage to keep their knees clamped tightly together while sitting? I have tried this, it is virtually impossible IMO.

Kudos to the Duchesses for their immaculate seated posture!

Those were photos taken by the owner of the gymn with a hidden camera. He was sued for invasion of privacy. They were published in the Mirror in the early 90s

You get red marks because you should be crossing you legs at the ankle not at the knees.

Like a good Duchess.

Where the fuck is Paul Burrell??!

I bet she knew

Yes but Di was in cahoots with him all along. Hence the last minute out of court settlement.

I knew about Julia Carling but didn't know about Ali Cockayne. Will Carling does sound like a total shit!

I will admit I did like it when Anne Robinson used to call Diana the Thorpe Park Goddess and how quickly the mirror did an about turn and started all the sainthood articles.

This is a link to the cellulite story but without a picture from the back showing the disputed dimpling.

goddess but then my knees lapse and I could be flashing my non-royal knickers everywhere?? actually just trying this while sitting at the computer, and it is in fact easier to cross one's non-royal ankles and hold one's non-royal knees together than not to cross anything at all. But can feel the pressure in one's hips - perhaps it's part of the royal training? I would fail.

WC was an arsehole.

I have connections who know him.

I always thought it odd that James H was the one labelled "cad". Will C was such a little shit.

I still reckon there were more than 7 though I'm bloody sure BA went there

BA Baracus?

Singer/photographer BA?

@yolofish

You don’t flash your knickers because you bend both knees together to the side then cross your ankle once sitting.

You don’t do a big Kenny Everett leg cross

I thought Diane's 'cellulite' was because she'd been sat on one of those beaded car seat covers that were popular at the time...

Beaded car seat cover? Diana? I'd laugh if she had one of those windshield stickers saying "Diana & Hasnat"

What does Paul Burrell do these days?

He appears as a talking head on Channel 5 docs with titles like 'Britain's 100 Favourite Pies'.

Exhibit A

goddess You don’t do a big Kenny Everett leg cross grin THAT's where I've been going wrong all my life!!

Were those things decorative or were they supposed to have some therapeutic benefits?
