Here we go again, and as always say what you like about the clothes but keep it civil re the wearers of said clothes!

QueenOfTheAndals 😂 😂 😂 😂!

@Paradyning I'm not doubting you heard that story at all, god knows the Windsors have plenty of skeletons in their closets!

@Paradyning - as Queen said.
Also, even if they had trouble conceiving, there's still a gap between the marriage and Elizabeth, and her and Margaret.
Interesting source!

Mathilde always looks like a 50-something Upper East Side matron on her way to a board meeting of her favourite charity.

You paint a great picture @queen Grin love it.

Right I have my answer as to what late wore under the much discussed tartan coat dress. A black shift dress.

*Kate even.

I've read that HM and PM were conceived via artificial insemination as Bertie had troubles in that area (so did David, apparently). The QM never looked at a turkey baster the same way again! And of course there were also the stories that the Bowes-Lyon cook acted as a surrogate for her parents and gave birth to her and her younger brother.

Paradyning as Queen & Clionba have said. The source does give a certain credence to the rumour. And I wouldn’t put it past any government to bury want they don’t want out in the public domain.

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/01/2019 07:59

Alas the only links I can find re the stories in my previous post come courtesy of the ever-reliable lady Colin Campbell! But I can remember reading similar stories as far back as the late 90s, so she hasn't made them up herself.

A poster on one of the earlier threads did say their grandmother or probably great Aunt? worked at Glamis and indeed there was a disabled boy living there, and it was known as the QM's. Could it be that the child was born prematurely and was believed to not survive past infancy/early childhood ?

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/01/2019 09:15

Yes I remember that, although that was the story I thought might've been confused with the alleged Monster of Glamis.

Going back a few comments, presumably CP Mary wore uniform because that was the dress code, not what she 'chose' to wear.

Prince Harry arriving at Lancaster House in his role as commonwealth youth ambassador. Look at the wide smiles on the band members! I hope Harry spoke to them.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/01/2019 12:09

better view of Maxima’s Berry outfit I am not keen on the massive turnups and the hip belt is not that flattering...

desertgirl · 30/01/2019 12:11

Rania looking great with her youngest on his birthday

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/01/2019 12:37

I think he's the only one of their kids who looks like Rania.

No sign of Meghan at the NT yet, it must be an afternoon event then.

OP posts:
CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/01/2019 13:06

Interesting how Harry’s engagement was arranged for this morning, so that he could get a bit of press interest, in advance of the inevitable avalanche of coverage for Meghan....

Bloominglovely · 30/01/2019 13:12

She just gets it right. The skirt length is great on her.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/01/2019 13:15

Just a back view so far.
video of her watching a performance inside the NT

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/01/2019 13:17

Ok, some better pictures of her.
The blush pink on her is really flattering and she is just glowing.
Really like the side swept up do. She is perfection!

Apparently she is wearing Brandon Maxwell.
Isn’t he the Australian designer she wore on tour?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/01/2019 13:25

Interesting. No tights ( in January!) and legs smeared in a sort of body oil.

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/01/2019 13:41

Could be shiny tights and if they are then she's definitely been watching this thread and gone for Faulke! She looks lovely and has such a glow about her. I'm normally not a fan of that shade of pink but she looks like she has a bit of a tan (slipped away to Mustique maybe?) so it looks great on her.

I'm liking her hair! Much smarter than her usual messy bun. Like the outfit too, I'd say an all round win today.
