Special edition: Eugenie wedding thread

Harry and Meghan have 2 days more in NZ before they head back to London and, if I was her, I'd put on pyjamas, get Netflix fired up, and not leave my bed for several days! William and Kate will be out for a sporty engagement in Essex tomorrow and I'm sure we'll start to see them more as she's now officially back from maternity leave..

No idea what the continental royals are up to but New My Royals (does that title even make sense?) is my go-to link for them!

What just randomly walking down the street, or getting in or out of a car'?

Spudlet · 01/11/2018 17:32

She rocked up at the events stand of the charity I worked for once, wearing her jeans and carrying her shopping (big equestrian event, loads of trade stands), and started chatting to one of the more, erm, eccentric members of staff. I wasn't there, but apparently the chief exec moved at warp speed to intervene Grin

So maybe she was just out for a walk!

QueenOfTheAndals · 01/11/2018 17:36

I've shared this before, but is priceless. She tells a good story and has great comic timing.

She's a true horsewoman. Can't resist a trade stand at an equestrian event.

thornyhousewife · 01/11/2018 17:40

She was in her car in a convoy stuck in traffic, reading an A4 piece of paper. She's awesome.

LimpyLampy · 01/11/2018 17:48

Tbf comparing her to Angelina Jolie is not a great comparison as AJ has anorexia.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 01/11/2018 17:50

I love that interview @Queen
The bit where she talks about the back of her dress ripping and saying about her kidnapper “that was his most dangerous moment”

I really wish she had more of a film crew following her. A year in the life of Princess Anne would be genius.
I’d love to hear what she had to say about her recent visit to the sewage works.
(Apart from pp “I get all the shit jobs”)
She is a chop off the old (Prince Phillip) block

Haworthia · 01/11/2018 17:50

And long rumours of heroin addiction, Limpy. Certainly not an example of a thin celeb female who’s the picture of health.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 01/11/2018 18:12
In the last Annie Leibovitz shot you can get an idea of what Charlotte will look like in 60 years time...

Anne really looks like Queen Mary these days, doesn't she?

Want2b - I know someone who jogged to about 6 months pg, had a C-section and was doing planks w/ leg lifts the minute she hit 6 weeks post partum. She is thin.

LimpyLampy · 01/11/2018 19:12

Charlotte really is from William’s side of the family.

VanillaSugary · 01/11/2018 19:18

Charlotte looks like Lady Sarah Chatto - it's been said before !

Clionba · 01/11/2018 19:37

Thank you for that Royal Fashion Channel CurlyWurly some great images! That green outfit Anne repeated at Eugenie's wedding? (I think!). HM and Anne - kudos to them in full military uniform and regalia riding side saddle! That takes some strength and balance..... Smile

Butterymuffin · 01/11/2018 19:43

Just thought of this and was curious: what name did Anne compete under as an equestrian? I assume they didn't announce her as 'Princess Anne' at the Olympics etc. Or maybe they did!

Clionba · 01/11/2018 19:45

They did! That was how she was announced.

QueenOfTheAndals · 01/11/2018 20:10

Funny you said that @VanillaSugary, as I've always thought Sarah Chatto looks an awful lot like her father. Who is not related to Charlotte by blood at all!

I’ve always thought Charlotte looks like a dead ringer for the Queen and Sarah Chatto.

WipsGlitter · 01/11/2018 20:31

Those Annie Leibovitz photos were inspired. Mia with the handbag!! All children looking in the right direction too!

SenecaFalls · 01/11/2018 20:47

I also always thought that Sarah looked a lot like her father. But in looking at pictures of her as a young child, I can definitely see a resemblance to Charlotte.

Me too!

Quantumblue · 01/11/2018 20:54

Love that photo of Princess Anne and the Queen. Never think of Anne as very cuddly but she has her arm slung around her mother.
I think the D of C is too thin. It makes me sad that the message to young women is that the ideal body involves almost disappearing. In her younger photos she looks so strong and sporty.
I also cringe to think of all the beautifully prepared meals from the finest ingredients that the mega thin royals must just push around the plate.

dementedma · 01/11/2018 20:57

I was shocked at the recent pics of kate at the War Museum. She looks incredibly thin. Does she never eat?

SilentIsla · 01/11/2018 20:59

I thought 'game' sounded perfectly normal and Carol didn't sound posh at all.

I agree. I was listening for some abnormality and found none.

Moononthehill28 · 01/11/2018 21:03

Demented I agree. She looks far far too thin, drawn and older than she is.
