Royal style & gossip: Sandringham shots are coming, who will Prince Philip deck in the halls?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Made sure my autocorrect didn't spoil that title...

As always, let's keep it light and avoid any spite!

Previous thread

Charlene always looks beautiful but Albert has aged badly and looks unfit.

Can't believe I put KN instead of KK. The shame!

Prince Albert was attractive once.

And here he is like a young Michael Caine!

Cheek fillers definitely. You can tell when she smiles as they move into the wrong place. However she doesn't smile that much!

Also lips and nose. I must find an old picture of her, it's a huuuge difference and honestly she looked better before. Clearly she didn't think so.

Rainier & Grace were both so attractive yet the looks have passed Albert by.

See?

Another one:

Didn't know there had been a Meghan documentary on tonight! I'll have to look on catch up.

It looks like she’s had her lips done too.
Please don’t go down the Rania route Charlene!

Thanks Queen & love the title!
I wonder if Philip has ever decked anyone!

Her surgery actually a makes her look like Queen Sylvia

Sorry if this has already been linked but here is Maxima in Orange during a state visit with maximum bling.

Charlene’s lip fillers look much too obvious. I don’t understand why beautiful women are so eager to change their faces. Old bags like me other hand...I could do with an overhaul!

During the war Philip was in charge of naval machine guns bringing down enemy aircraft, for which he received a citation.

So he'd probably be pretty good at decking someone!

Thank you.

Charlene’s looking totally different. The fact she so often seems utterly miserable when photos are posted really bothers me somehow. Almost like she's going through this all against her will but in the public gaze. If she's having cosmetic procedures because she is unhappy that's even sadder. She's looking older on top of everything else.
Alao, ramdom, but Albert 's dad whose name escapes me, always reminded me of Mr Banks in the original Mary Poppins. I accept that might just be me though.

Also random, but did anyone else used to get Royal Romances magazines? It was probably the late 80's and they were .magazines published every week/few weeks concentrating on a different Royal Romance each time. It was one of those build the whole set and keep them in a free binder jobbies. I loved my ladybird books about the individual members of the RF and the weddings too so my parents subscribed for me. Anyway there was a great mix of histories, personal stories and plenty of gorgeous pictures. I definitely didn't imagine it...

Prince Albert's father was Prince Rainier III.

That’s a labour of love @ahoydelboy. You are the threads archivist !

So 14 threads in, i am curious about who we all are. People pop up and delurk. Is this thread read by 50 or 5000! Are we all middle aged ladies, or is there a mix? So just to satisfy my curiosity please could you introduce yourself and say why you love 💗 these threads please?
I’ll kick it off!
So I’m in my late 40s, British Asian . My my mum loved the Royal family. I remember Charles & Diana’s wedding. There were no video recorders at least not in our house in 1981. So she made us a huge plate of sandwiches ( the one we put the turkey on at Christmas) and said don’t disturb me for the whole afternoon.
After that, Princess Diana was on the front page of the DM practically every day, and she sat on our dining table every morning and became part of my life!

Haha Curly it was only a mission the first time! Now I have them all saved in notes and just have to add the last thread as we go. I’ve been wondering the same about readers really! I’m early 30’s NZ European with one DD who is almost 15 mo. I wasn’t born when Charles and Di married but my DP (slightly older from NIreland) remembers his Mum making him and his siblings watch the ceremony (despite the fact they would rather have been out playing ). I remember Diana from when I was a child and being very sad when she died. My love for the RF started when Wills married Kate. I just love her and have always followed her fashion. I’d like to know more of the history of the RF so this thread is giving me that insight

I’m 50 & English, I remember watching Princess Anne’s wedding on television and going to watch the procession at the Silver Jubilee. I’ve joined these threads as I like looking at the pictures & learning about members of the other European Royal families, they are a nice distraction from my normal life. Thank you!

That L’Oreal ad is weird and the hairdo is godawful but I do like the bright lipstick on Meghan, she suits it.

I’m more lurker than poster on these threads but I’m late 30s, live in England but am Irish, a total republican but closet royalist I was about 16 when Diana died I think and remember it well, I was working in a hairdressers and we closed the shop for the afternoon so we could all watch the funeral.
