*shouldn’t

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 15/11/2018 05:53

Ps, I want more photos of the frocks. I can’t believe there wasn’t a photographer present last night. Put us out of our misery Charlesand post a couple of pics of you & the glammed up daughters in law.

Princess Marie of Denmark in Zara at a Stop wasting Food function.

Someone follows her, and has a blog. But to be honest, her clothes are so dull. The Scandinavian royals are good at doing high street; especially Zara.

Prince Phillip spotted leaving the party.
Slightly wierd because I thought they had apartments at BP.
Probably wanted to go straight back to Windsor

Great photos curly, our own roving reporter!

Slightly off the topic of PC party but has anyone seen the article in the bbc news app today about marie antoinettes jewellery? One necklace sold for 36m! Hankering after pearls now....will try to link.. BBC News - Marie Antoinette pearl auctioned for record $36m

I think their Buckingham Palace apartment is being refurbished at the moment.

WindyWednesday · 15/11/2018 07:12

I watched the documentary about the royal succession last night, so interesting. I’d forg all the ski photos, and now it’s so different. The harassment of Kate by the press,looked so scary.

RainbowsArePretty · 15/11/2018 07:30

Vanilla I love that picture of Anne! She looks beautiful. Love her skin too, just think this would be pre-photoshop

RainbowsArePretty · 15/11/2018 07:34

Kate's makeup is lovely, also love the earrings she and Meghan are wearing. I do wish we had seen their outfits!

beanaseireann · 15/11/2018 07:34

I had never heard of Princess Tatiana ( lovely name) before.
She is beautiful.

QueenOfTheAndals · 15/11/2018 07:45

"Princess" Tatiana as she's married to one of the Greek "royals" who cling on to their titles even though the monarchy was abolished long ago!

Kate’s hair is lovely, wish mine would look like that.
Gutted we haven’t seen more of the dresses, was hoping to wake up to a flurry of pics.

i think william does refer to Catherine as Kate as well, he definitely has done in the past. I totally agree with anyone reacting the way W did after those pics
of Kate. It’s going to be interesting
to see if Harry changes his attitude to the press if they keep laying into Meghan.

Was the link put up for that documentary? I can’t believe we are going to hit page 40 again soon, I will have to trawl back through to find it.

Batteriesallgone · 15/11/2018 07:50

One of the minor royals ought to train as a photographer.

Then we’d get lovely pictures from inside events without them having to let ‘press’ in.

I totally understand why they wouldn’t want a photographer present, but we all want pics and why not a few nice informal pics...

Go on Eugenie. Buy a camera.

Quantumblue · 15/11/2018 07:58

It's all about the earrings and the updos, isn't it?

mmmgoats · 15/11/2018 08:10

@batterieallgone I would take Eugenie’s iphone shots! Come on Eug, put ‘em on Instagram!

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 15/11/2018 08:14

On the subject of attitude to the press, I wouldn't be surprised if Harry becomes more closed off once the baby arrives. It a natural instinct, surely.

Thank you for the MA link tipsey, I kept meaning to have a look.

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 15/11/2018 08:24

Gosh - so much to catch up on.

Having watched the documentaries I’m not surprised William loathes the press. Imagine your girlfriend being called a whore - just to get a reaction.

As for that journalist calling William controlling - well what do you expect when the press behave so badly.

But it’s true the RF do need the press so a couple of agreed photos here & there would probably take the heat off.

Never knew that Edward VIII had fertility issues. So the Queen would have ended up Queen anyway but in 1970’s. That is if there was still a monarchy after Edward with his pro-German sympathies.

itswinetime · 15/11/2018 08:27

They don't even need a photographer inside the party just do what most people do take a photo all glamed up ready to leave and then put it on Instagram! All we want to see is the dress!

Bloominglovely · 15/11/2018 08:35

Isn’t Kate the family photographer, go on Kate. Snap snap snap! Grin

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 15/11/2018 09:26

Well I’m in a huff today. No pics.
I can imagine the Royal reporters getting royally (‘scuse the pun) royally hacked off.
I know last night was a private event, but it was a bit of a tease seeing bits & pieces of outfits.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 15/11/2018 09:28

Just looking at Marie Antoinette’s jewels, her ring looks a bit like the Harry & Meghan cipher.

itswinetime · 15/11/2018 09:36

They do themselves no favours I think. One posed photo like Charles and camillia did would keep people happy they can control it they can release it. Everyone is happy instead by keeping everything top secret and hidden how long before the questions start who paid for the party? Who paid for the dresses? Ect,ect. They aren't playing the game well in my opinion. No one is asking for pics of Kate and Meghan doing the Macarena or William and Harry doing shots just some fashion shots to droul over it isn't much. Yes I maybe sulking but I think they are silly and mean now and I can only be won back with pictures or a Crown wearing event Wink

And if you are are reading Daily Mail Fuck off and get your own ideas!

Paradyning · 15/11/2018 10:23

I agree wine. It's a symbiotic relationship. They cannot expect all one way traffic- to use the press for their own devices. There should have been one posed shot. Just like the Norwegians.
At least Albert of Monaco waved to the cameras!

QueenOfTheAndals · 15/11/2018 10:48

No photos of CP Mary either, and you know she would've glammed it up big time.

And it isn't just the press, considering the public purse finds them then the least they could do is release a photo or two!!
