Thanks, Curly! Eugenie has some sound mumsnet advice!!

Clionba · 16/09/2018 12:00

ps Andrew's anger at BBC is also in the Express, sorry I can't post a link.

Eugenie has some sound mumsnet advice!!

If only she’d take it. The York’s would save a fortune in PR advice, “stylists” etc

Express Article about televising Eugenie’s wedding

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 16/09/2018 13:04

Prince Harry’s birthday yesterday.
I’ve been scrolling through the RF twitter account. Harry is so handsome these days. Looked great when he visited the Marines.

Also note that William does that same hands splayed gesture as Kate to show their animation and “excitements” (an acceptable tproyal emotion word!)

QueenOfTheAndals · 16/09/2018 13:21

I wouldn't be surprised if Andrew himself was the source of that Express story, or if he agreed for one of his team to leak it.

@CurlyWurlyTwirly I agree, he's really blossomed since his wedding.

Want it that the Queen was at Balmoral that they couldn't get married sooner?

SenecaFalls · 16/09/2018 16:15

I'm going to be pissed off if I can't watch it. But if it's not shown in the UK, I'm certain it won't be seen in the States. My guess is that most people here haven't a clue who Eugenie is. But I want to see what people are wearing, especially Fergie.

Clionba · 16/09/2018 16:31

I'm the same, Seneca - I want to watch for the outfits! Maybe the deal for itv will come through, if not there will be enough photos and film of people going into the Chapel and the happy couple.

SenecaFalls · 16/09/2018 16:49

True, and if there is video, it will be on YouTube shortly after.

QueenOfTheAndals · 16/09/2018 17:14

Can't say I'd watch the ceremony if it was televised, but I'd happily watch all the guests entering just to see the outfits!

Jackietheduck · 16/09/2018 21:07

I wouldn’t watch the ceremony either. I’m still recovering from Harry and Meghan’s one 😀

theaccidentaleconomist · 16/09/2018 21:57

I'd watch it if they put a feed up on YouTube. But then I'm a bit of a hardcore royal wedding fan who sat through almost nine hours of Carl Philip and Sofia's do in Swedish. Grin

That's still up on YouTube BTW...

VanillaSugary · 16/09/2018 22:04

That is devotion!

SenecaFalls · 16/09/2018 22:07

All the Swedish royal baptisms are on YouTube, as well. Smile

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 17/09/2018 09:11

CP Victoria’s dress is gorgeous.
However not keen on the clunky courts or black hoop earrings.
She should have gone for a scrappy sandal type shoe and some filigree type earrings. She just needed more delicate accessories.

And don’t get me started on Prince Daniel’s midnight blue and black tux combo. And the askew bow tie. Not helping that hottie Prince Carl Phillip is right next to him.
Prince Daniel is starting to look like a surrendered husband....

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 17/09/2018 09:11

*strappy sandals

QueenOfTheAndals · 17/09/2018 09:53

That is a lovely dress on CPV but I always think she and Daniel need hair interventions. Hers is always scraped back so tightly and his is gelled to the nth degree!

OP posts:
QueenOfTheAndals · 17/09/2018 09:58

Carl Philip is definitely the hottest prince in Europe. He was actually Crown Prince when he was born but, unlike the British changes to the line of succession, the Swedish one was retrospective and Victoria became heir instead.

He's probably glad of the change because I'm not sure his choice of bride would've been allowed if she was going to be queen one day! Then again, they seem more relaxed about these things over there so...

I have an aversion to that style of dress in black. I think it works in white or any other colour but not black. I don’t think it’s suitable for a black-tie event either.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 17/09/2018 10:32

Hair interventions!
Yes they are pommaded to within and inch of their lives.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen CPV’s natural hair.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 17/09/2018 10:36

Victoria has pretty swishy hair. She should definitely wear it down more.
