Let's keep criticism to the clothes rather than the women please...

Do you think there's been fisticuffs at the palace Queen?

@IdaBWells "It's been 70 years Phillip and I've had enough!"

"I said I was wearing blue this evening Camilla! Time to learn who's queen..."

It would be odd for HMQ at her age not to have unexplained bruises sometimes. The walls of your blood vessels and your skin cells get more fragile as you are, it's called purpura and very normal in a 90+ year old.
Not keen on the black jacket, as pp said a bit pearly queen and makes her look stocky

Ella Windsor is getting married on 18May dm link.
It’s the day before Meghan and Harry’s wedding anniversary. ( can’t believe it’s not even a year)

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 02/03/2019 11:01

Apparently it’s a “dilemma” for William, as he’s the president of the fa and it’s the cup final.
I suspect it’s only going to be the 2nd tier royals, the Kent’s and Gloucester’s who will go.
I suspect there will be a few celebs though,

QueenOfTheAndals · 02/03/2019 11:12

I don't think the Cambridges will go but there'll probably be a member or two from the Queen's immediate family - Edward and Sophie or the York sisters.

There was a poster several threads ago who said Ella's fiancé was their cousin, IIRC?

Prediction :

None of "The Senior Royals" will attend

They lived at KP sure but realistically they are distant relations they barely saw.

I posted this on another thread around the time Sarah Vine was wanging on about it because there is zero evidence that Freddie and Gabriella spent much time with William and Harry at all - I can elaborate

Neither were even invited to Harry's

SenecaFalls · 02/03/2019 11:40

The wedding is at Windsor so the Queen might go. That's as senior as it gets.

gingercat02 · 02/03/2019 12:16

Article says the Queen is expected to attend, which in our family is normal. DM went to her cousins children's wedding DB and I didn't

BlueJeansNiceTop · 02/03/2019 12:24

@CurlyWurlyTwirly He missed it last year too for Harry’s wedding!

itswinetime · 02/03/2019 17:29

I wonder if it's an odd etiquette thing if all the queens children and grandchildren go and they out rank the brides family then it must get a little awkward everyone having to arrive before a second cousin and any other odd bits of protocol. Also I imagine the security bill goes up the more high profile royals attend?

BrizzleMint · 02/03/2019 17:44

Harry will be able to dust off his Nazi costume again.

ajandjjmum · 02/03/2019 19:44

I think he only made that mistake once Brizzle - around 15 years ago. Obviously he's never going to be allowed to forget it!

BartonHollow · 02/03/2019 20:03

It's a mistake that'll never be repeated I'm sure

There's more likelihood of his getting his knob out in Vegas again

BrizzleMint · 02/03/2019 20:42

I think he only made that mistake once Brizzle - around 15 years ago. Obviously he's never going to be allowed to forget it!

Was it that long?! Things are always longer ago than they seem. I don't really know much about it, it just sprang to mind for some reason.

Paradyning · 02/03/2019 21:25

Wasn't there a poster on here that was at the party and gave the actual
Context of the costume?

QueenOfTheAndals · 02/03/2019 21:48

Yes, apparently it was a "natives and colonials" themed party but I'm not sure that makes it any better!!

MintyChops · 02/03/2019 23:28

Nice Brizzle, really nice Hmm

Paradyning · 03/03/2019 06:09

Ah yes Queen. It doesn't. In fact makes it worse if anything

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 03/03/2019 06:55

Olivia Colman is going to have to dig deep with the acting skills as she looks nothing like the Queen.
I really wish they had picked an actress with blue eyes. I’m not even sure if they’ve put contacts on Olivia.

I felt wit Clare Foy, a lot of acting came from the unspoken emotion in her eyes ( as well as the cut glass accent)
I really don’t want to be disappointed by the next season of The Crown

Olivia is a brilliant actress so I'm sure she'll be fine! When does the new series air?

UrsulaPandress · 03/03/2019 07:36

Yes Claire was very 'still'.

PollyEthel · 03/03/2019 08:19

What tiara is that meant to be?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 03/03/2019 08:29

What tiara is that meant to be?

No idea. It’s not one I recognise.
Not impressed so far by the ill fitting dress and Claire’s accessories tiara.
It’s early days of filming.
Olivia Colman has only just finished he awards season.
I’m not disparaging her as an actress, but the casting looks odd for such a famous figure as the Queen.
