Royal style and gossip: get yer crowns out for the lads!

Usual rules - say what you like about the clothes, keep it civil re the wearers.

If he was from the south west then what's his connection to Birkenhead? Guess I could always google it...

There's also this:

Maybe H&M are doing a walkabout between the two places?

(Every time I go past our H&M store it reminds me of Harry & Meghan )

What Paola and Albert split then got back together.
Off to google Beatrice Borromeo. ( she’s another Italian aristocratic)

Wasn't it revealed that Albert had an illegitimate child?

I believe he has three illegitimate children

Three?! -sigh- beauty is no guarantee that your man will be faithful.

What a very beautiful memorial. My grandad born in 1900 lied about his age and was in the trenches at 16. He survived uninjured except he was gassed.

That’s my dds age Ida. No age at all.

I shall leave you tonight with a truly horrendous imagine from one of the batshit Diana groups on Facebook. Sweet nightmares!

King Albert has to submit DNA to determine paternity.
I had heard of this daughter, but not the other children.
Apparently he had an affair with her mother for many years.

No link. What is this imagine ( image?)

I can’t see it in your post Queen but might have seen the one you mean - does it involve HM and Emu?!?

Diana and...Chucky?

And who knew that as she aged, Diana would turn into Clare Balding?

Wilfred Owen poems
He was born in Shropshire but moved to Birkenhead.

That aged Diana photo Too creepy.

oh dear! Nothing against Clare she is perfectly lovely but if Diana was miffed being compared to Sophie she would have not been impressed being compared to Clare Balding!

Is Kate (or Kate's stylist) making a mark or just following fashion after all?

Alas most of Anthropologie's headbands end up in the sale before all you Kate headband fans rush to spend your money :).

@VamillaSugar. Just catching up on this thread during a bout of insomnia and your comment made me snort so loud I almost woke the house.

@ursulapandress 😳. Sorry. I couldn’t resist it. I still don’t know what the connection to Birkenhead is, but I’m secretly hoping that Liverpool’s LGBT community are involved.

NB: it is generally thought that Wilfred was in the closet.

Love those headbands queen - see, Kate is being thrifty after all as they’re cheaper than a hat! I think she should get the leopard print number and wear them with mahoosive earrings and a scowl on her face to really capture the Pat Butcher look.

She was never Queen of the Vic

Morning ladies, if you haven’t seen this conversation already, there is a discussion about the Queen’s hair

I was just coming to link to that Curly haha! I quite enjoyed the pictures of her with the short cuts. She looks like my mum!

I like the idea of her having the same hair style as Marilyn Monroe (who my grandmother born 1909 thought was dreadful).

Vincent and Josephine of Denmark turning eight; rather nice pictures at instagram.com/p/BsXRJfPAhEM/
