Agreed; most of the things which make it hard having a new baby; Harry & Meghan do not even need to consider.
Money, Sleep ( nanny; maternity nurse); space,
As long as baby Sussex is healthy and they try not to read the press, they can hunker down in Frogmore and enjoy new parenthood.

spudlet My First Born and Heir is only 20 so away to The Tower with your “are you my mum?” comments ShockGrin

I’m taking DD to Belvoir Castle very shortly so if I see the Duchess of Rutland then I’ll take a photo.

Does this thread extend to the aristocracy as well or are we keeping it to Royals only?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 22/12/2018 09:05

Ooh no, aristos very welcome!
Bonus points if you spot the Duchess in a tiara!
Have a lovely visit

Spudlet · 22/12/2018 09:13

I don't know about you guys, but if I were a Duchess I'd have a tiara on at all times. In the bath (ala Ma'am Darling), unblocking the drains, poo-picking the lawn.... every activity would be a tiara appropriate activity Xmas Grin

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/12/2018 09:18

How did I not know HCP (Hot Carl-Philip) has his own Instagram?

You're welcome!

Apparently, Megan's Insta account was reactivated briefly! But then very quickly vanished again. Causing much excitement that she might be about to start using it again (although it was quite likely caused by a glitch).

DontCallMeCharlotte · 22/12/2018 09:46

Thanks for that link Queen. Swoon...

Anyway, good morning ladies. This just came up on my Facebook feed. Mildly amusing - it appears Meghan is a serial offender when it comes to new clothes faux-pas. It was a bit slow on my phone anyway (the last picture is Princess Di and her, er, boobs boob).

Now following HCP on Insta, Queen!

DontCallMeCharlotte · 22/12/2018 09:49

queenofarles This is "my" Chaumet tiara but I adore the sapphire ones as well.

Without going off on one and indeed I've just deleted a very long post I absolutely hate the phrase "as long as it's healthy" intended I know to imply good wishes, also implies something a lot darker...

californiascreaming · 22/12/2018 10:27

Wow that pre wedding dinner for royals is full of fab frocks. Love Charlenes over the top full on princess look! But for wearability I covet Eugenies Vivienne Westwood little black dress!

Haggisfish · 22/12/2018 10:32

I went to an aristo wedding once and it was amazing-totally another world. We were fortunate enough to be invited for the dinner after, served on the family silver with silver service. There were eight types of tea. And utterly fabulous food and copious free wine.

AhoyDelBoy · 22/12/2018 10:49

Yes Spudlet! I mentioned that at the end of the last thread and was surprised nobody commented! Xmas Smile I think she logged in for a nosy accidentally rather than logging in too her new private account (for looking at stuff not for posting herself).

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 22/12/2018 11:02

Anyone secretly hope that Camilla & Kate have a good laugh while having a sneaky fag together Grin

AhoyDelBoy · 22/12/2018 11:05

Anyone else getting very excited for the Christmas Day Walk To Church?

🙋🏼‍♀️

AhoyDelBoy · 22/12/2018 11:18

queenofarles that is a beautiful tiara you linked! Maybe it is meant for my DD as the name of the collection is her middle name and that particular tiara features her birth stone Grin

AhoyDelBoy · 22/12/2018 11:23

Wow Spudlet £125,000 for your new pillbox, BARGAIN! If you have a DP you could request it for Christmas, nice little stocking stuffer Xmas Grin

Tortycat · 22/12/2018 12:47

Gorgeous pic of HCP in a link above (sorry dont know how to paste it here) carrying one of his dc as a baby. Are there any pics of William carrying any of his? Suspect Harry will be out in some trendy Californian sling :)

Spudlet · 22/12/2018 12:51

Ahoydelboy I considered it, but based on the wailing and lamentations about the water bill I thought I might save it for my birthday Xmas Grin

Tortycat PW carried George out in his car seat and fitted it into the car (ok, not that hard with isofix but it took us a couple of goes first time and that was without the press pack watching!) but I don't think the Cambridge children are seen very often when they're babes in arms, so there probably aren't many pictures.

I'd love to see Prince Harry with a sling, if only to see Piers Morgan spontaneously combust 🤞

queenofarles · 22/12/2018 13:14

Another dreamy Chaumet tiara . The Westminster Chaumet Kokoshnik is just beautiful! shame it was sold in 2015.

Was the Gerville bequest ever discussed on these threads? i can't find exactly how many pieces are there, and was it Eugenie the first to wear the Emarlad Kokoshnik?

Paradyning · 22/12/2018 13:15

On those faux pas pics posted above, Kate's and CP Mary's feet look screwed from their pointy heels after they've lost them.

ElspethFlashman · 22/12/2018 13:24

I remember that the reason Kate didn't have a pedicure (which the article clutches its pearls over so much) was something about it not being appropriate to have nail polish in a mosque. She was following guidance. Not that any woman needs to have nail polish on anyway, FFS.

Paradyning · 22/12/2018 14:01

It's hardly like she had horrid snarly feet (like mine) is it!

Paradyning · 22/12/2018 14:01

Just their toes look very sore!

Harebellmeadow · 22/12/2018 14:10

This faux pas from the university fox link has raised harry in my opinion. He could have hundreds of shoes like SJP but has some eco-thriftiness. Could have had the shoes resoled though, to make them last even longer. Bit different to pics of megan with the label still on the shoe.
