Who can forget Michael Fagan breaking into the Queens bedroom. However, an interview given after his release is even more fascinating.

I heard Kate & Pippa used to exercise in the gymn at BP.
Surely she has a tennis court at Anmer.

Max is Home!
She’s currently in Argentina. She is looking so well & relaxed!

Curly that interview is hilarious!

Apologies for this, non royal fashion related,but

Don't apologize for bringing up Lady Pamela. I would say she is definitely pretty high on the royalty scale, actually with more "royal blood" than Beatrice or Eugenie. I recommend her memoir, Daughter of Empire: My Life as a Mountbatten. Among other interesting things, she was with the Queen in Africa when word came that George VI had died.

There was a documentary a few years ago in which she and India both showed and talked about the dresses that they wore as bridesmaids, India for Diana, and Pamela for then Princess Elizabeth.

I have it on good authority that HMQ has only fairly recently stopped grooming her horse and doing all the necessary with the tack, but still goes for a ride every single day when possible. Astonishing really

Kate with short hair looks like Katie Holmes

@Moononthehill28
I know! Michael Fagan didn’t even get arrested.
He was just put away in a mental institution for a year.
The bit about him walking around trying out all the thrones limez Goldilocks & drinking Prince Charles wine is hilarious

It’s a few days old but some better pics of Letizias day dress when meeting the chines premier.
I really feel like I need to get a sunray pleated skirt...

I wouldn’t react at all if I saw a member of the RF and I wouldn’t go out of my way to see them if they were scheduled to appear somewhere. The same goes for anyone who is well known e.g a politician or an actor.

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/11/2018 11:50

@OlennasWimple I've thought from day 1 that Kate resembles Katie!

Re Michael Fagan, I once worked with a guy who was into various conspiracy theories and said Fagan did much worse than just sit on HM's bed and have a chat. But if that was the case then surely he'd have "disappeared" a long time ago.

One of Diana’s dresses was bought in a charity shop for £200 and now is being sold for £100,000. here. Interesting story of how it got there. Apparently Diana had given it to one of her friends.

AhoyDelBoy · 30/11/2018 12:01

Kate is far more beautiful than Katie Holmes imo. How on earth that Fagan guy managed to break into BP I’ll never know. What a crazy story. I suppose it was the 80’s I teallly can’t see that sort of thing happening now.

AhoyDelBoy · 30/11/2018 12:02

Horse riding at 92!? Really!? I suppose if you’ve done it your whole life it’s no big deal...

AhoyDelBoy · 30/11/2018 12:04

@katekat383 yes like millions of others. Millions more would probably do a double take or something along those lines. It’s human nature 🤷🏼‍♀️

I remember reading a story about the Queen in the Sunday Times a few years ago. It was in the days when they used Britannia to cruise up to Scotland. Britannia was moored off the coast and the Queen was having a walk along the cliffs when she came across a man lying down with his binoculars trained on Britannia. She stopped and asked him is he had seen anything. Without putting his binoculars down he said ' No nothing'. The Queen said ' Perhaps she's gone for a walk' and strolled on.

AhoyDelBoy · 30/11/2018 12:09

I’ve onky ever seen Prince William when he did a speech in Christchurch, NZ just after we had a big earthquake and just before his wedding. I was living in the town closest to Uluru (which is fricking Miles away) when W&K visited Australia. I so wish I’d gone now.

AhoyDelBoy · 30/11/2018 12:14

I like that anecdote Buddy Smile

TheCraicDealer · 30/11/2018 12:16

I find the phrases, "I suppose it was the 80’s" explains quite a lot in life tbh

WipsGlitter · 30/11/2018 12:16

That looks nothing like Kate. I also think the cpo would be more smartly dressed and wouldn't be wearing a bum bag!

AhoyDelBoy · 30/11/2018 12:17

TheCraicDealer Grin

AhoyDelBoy · 30/11/2018 12:19

That’s how I have to explain the awful haircuts my mother subjected my sister and me too Grin

DontCallMeCharlotte · 30/11/2018 12:26

Going back to BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo's alternative hairstyles for Kate (page 3 on my app), in the second one she looks oddly like Scarlett Moffatt...

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/11/2018 12:26

Facebook memories reminded me the other day that it's 6 years since I saw W&K outside kings cross station. I got annoyed as I needed to get home and they'd cordoned off the bus stop for the royal cat. A small crowd had gathered and I remember thinking how rude W&K were to just get into their car without giving as much as a wave.

The following week she was admitted to hospital with HG so I felt a bit guilty for that thought!
