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!

A quick google on what Meghan earned suggests she was worth $5m and had a salary of $330k per annum from Suits so whilst she definitely wasn't A list with designers flinging gowns at her she probably didn't struggle to buy a $3k dress if she fancied it for an event I suppose. I still think many of the misses on the recent trip were due to her sudden body shape weight change though. I bet post birth she'll get into her stride a bit more and find a formal funky style.

Suits is a pretty successful show. She wasn't A list but I don't think she was Z list either. There are plenty of actors who make a decent living with a supporting role on a popular show.

I expect nothing happened between Andrew and Sarah between Ascot and the wedding, but that they didn't want to be all over each other or showing any kind of over affection as it was Eugenie and Jack's day.

That was indeed 'a harrowing example' of poetry .

Evening all,

Just catching up gosh this thread.movrs quickly! Haha

I completely agree with the previous posts about MM dressing more like a US celebrity than British Royal Family, I do hope once baby arrives and after her maternity leave she can come back with a great new polished look. Also a new stylist and hand made..

Andrew and Sarah have a weird relationship , frenemies is the best way I could put it I think.

Guardian article on the Meghan effect.

Fergie was recently heard speaking about The York's as a group to which she clearly belonged

It's generally believed that they will remarry after a respectable mourning period when Philip dies.

I read something and could not tell you where that Fergie was staying with The Queen and Prince Philip and came down to breakfast to find the toe sucking business on every paper in the table

Philip went APESHIT on her as you might expect.

Andrew and Fergie will remarry Pawnee?

Why would they remarry?
Their relationship seems fine as it is. Whatever it is.
I also thought there was rumours that Andrew is gay.

Am I missing something? Are they actually a couple or are there just rumours they are?

It's rumours that have been around for years because they're still close and never stopped living together. But they could just be co-parents. They've known each other since childhood so they're probably still good friends.

Given the amount of scandal the Windsors have had over the years, it was no doubt the fact the media knew about the toe sucking that caused the DoE to explode, not the sucking itself.

I do so love a good Mcgonagall

He seems to insist on rhyming Beatrice with nice - are we all saying it wrong?!

Not going to link it, but Charles in the DM saying he & Meghan have got over their dysfunctional families.
He's trying to.align himself with M&H as they are so popular. Snidely comment snuck in that M&H stayed in Scotland with him in the Summer & W&K didn't come.
( I suspect with their 3 young children they probably preferred Mustique) but there is definitely a wedge between Charles and William. Anyway, Charles was followed for a year by one of the Royal reporters or writers

Alway good to find another fan Spudlet. My all time favourite is The Tay Bridge Disaster, but in keeping with theme of the thread, here is the death of Queen Victoria.

Poor William was wailing. I remember Diana later said they didn't ask her what time to have it and he hadn't been fed. The rest of the family are clueless. At least this generation of Royals are making changes based on.their own dysfunctional childhood instead of bleating on about it. Charles really does himself no.favours. 1 step forward; 300 back.

Surely she could’ve changed his feeding time to just before hand?!

Charles is on a publicity drive at the moment, there's a lengthy interview with him in Vanity Fair too.

I suspect she had no notice of the actual time. You can see she is rushing to comfort him and he is ducking on her finger during the photo shoot

Charles is so insecure. Can you imagine if the Queen had given so many interviews throughout her reign. She has heeded her Bagehot

Imagine if Diana had whipped out a boob then and there to feed him!

Meghan's Tig feed on Pinterest

I am going to have a good browse when I get the chance !

Poor little William, Diana is so sweet the way she rushes to him and later calls Zara over to have a look at him.

What does tig stand for? I just had a very quick look but will definitely look more later.

Tig is part of the name of Meghan's favourite wine
