Royal style & gossip: the Middletonian, the Marklesque and the Maximal!

Link to book group thread, which has the list of books.

And in case you get bored of the royals or they're having a quiet week, here's the Celebrity S&G thread!

Remember, let's critique the clothes without getting too personal about the wearers.

But why would Diana have been a challenging mil?
Presumably if she had lived; she would have remarried. Possibly a couple more children.
So utterly sad when you think “ what if” with Diana.

Tom Parker Bowles is the image of his father isn't he? It's a look that's particular to posh English posh men. They get to 40 and suddenly their face looks like a cushion that's been left out in the rain overnight.

Actually I think Meghan and Diana would have become BFFs. Diana liked a bit of Americana and self help books etc. She would have lapped up Meghan's Californian stuff.

I don't see the appeal of APB either. Definitely hasn't aged well at all. Maybe they are just good friends now due to their common interest in horses?

Hurrah. PP has handed in his driving licence.

But what was he wearing when he did it?

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Just fell down a rabbit warren looking at pictures of Princess Anne. There are some brilliant photos of her out there. Also found this collection by John Swannell iconicimages.net/gallery/royals/great photos. And some great outfits and some not great ones

And some more by Norman Parkinson iconicimages.net/gallery/norman-parkinson-royals/

I was admiring the John Swannel photos thinking Ella & Freddie Windsor are good looking, .... so is their mother Princess Michael of Kent. Flicked through a few more photos of her in Africa and then she is sitting on a chair upholstered in zebra hide wearing a jacket made of giraffe skin.

Oh God Curly.

What a mess really. It's like a game of musical chairs. if Anne had married APB, Camilla had married Charles in the first place, Diana had married just about anyone other than Charles (maybe Andrew?) perhaps everything might look very different.

Actually I think Meghan and Diana would have become BFFs.

Yes I could see that @ElspethFlashman. And her not liking Kate for "taking away" her PFB. Poor Kate would've been AIBUing every day about a MiL from hell!

Were they @AdaColeman??? I've not heard that before! Are you sure you're not confusing Fergie with Diana's sister? Also a redhead called Sarah.

Prince Charles and Sarah Ferguson?
I’ve never heard that and I would consider that pairing highly unlikely

Oh yes Lady Sarah Spencer.
Yes that’s correct. Diana’s older sister which also makes it a bit “ ick”

Some great photos at the link @BigGlasses posted. Though this floating heads shot of the Wessexes made me think they're retraining as mimes!

No, I'm not confusing Sarah Ferguson with Sarah Mc Corquodale.

Prince Charles never went out with Sarah Ferguson. Ridiculous to think he did.

That picture's hilarious. Looks like a photoshop job in the good old pre-photoshop days.

Something in an Aussie magazine about Charles and Fergie
Still nonsense

Oh god it's New Idea. NEVER believe anything printed in New Idea! Further stories on there include Beatrice's "baby bombshell" and HM giving Andrew and Fergie permission to remarry. But the best one is Beatrice and Eugenie kicking off at H&M's wedding rehearsal and Kate putting them in their place!

Ada you are wrong. Charles went out with Diana’s sister Sarah.

Poor Meghan. Her attempt to manage the story by getting her friends to leak that she had written to her dad has backfired spectacularly...

Her dad has shared the letter with the Mail. What a horrible, horrible thing to do. Zero chance of a reconciliation now.

Omg.
