They do indeed...!

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/03/2019 20:58

If there's something going on then I suppose Anne and her husband have come to some sort of arrangement they're both happy with.

The biggest mystery for me is what on earth women see in APB!

Meghan is on maternity

GetStrongKeepFighting · 13/03/2019 21:02

Leave

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/03/2019 21:04

Has the palace confirmed that @GetStrongKeepFighting?

In other news, Letizia is in London! She's attending the opening of the Sorolla exhibition at the National Gallery with Prince Charles.

Now here's a question - Charles is heir to the throne rather than a monarch, but is 'of the blood'. Leti is a monarch, but not a reigning one (as in she's a queen consort rather than regnant - I assume anyway) and not of royal descent. Soooo... who takes precedence?

Horsemad · 13/03/2019 21:16

Charles?

EstrellaDamn · 13/03/2019 21:21

Charles is a sight in that gaudy ill-fitting suit!

(Redressing the balance as we rarely critique the men) Grin

Rhubarbisevil · 13/03/2019 21:21

I think he does, because he is the host.

shuttersaregreen · 13/03/2019 21:21

Anne and Andrew could just be good friends! Or maybe Tim has no interest in horse racing..

Rhubarbisevil · 13/03/2019 21:22

Friends with b

GetStrongKeepFighting · 13/03/2019 21:23

Kensington Palace said so No engagements booked but she will have private meetings

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/03/2019 21:23

It's not like Charles to wear something that doesn't fit. He's usually attired in impeccably tailored suits.

That's a beautiful dress. Could see Kate looking good in it too.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/03/2019 21:26

I don't think they have @GetStrongKeepFighting as there's nothing on any of their official channels.

I heard a great story about Prince Charles as told to me by someone from an elder generation.

Anyway, Prince Charles was in the bath nd his butler came in with a hot water bottle.
“What’s that, you blithering idiot? I didn’t ask for a hot water water bottle!” says Charles.

The butler replied “If you’ll excuse me, your Highness, I distinctly heard you say wurraborra.”

True story. Never published.

BigGreenOlives · 13/03/2019 21:31

I feel a bit stupid but I don’t get it.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/03/2019 21:33

No me neither

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/03/2019 21:34

That makes three of us!

Unless Charles farted in the bath?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/03/2019 21:35

Let’s is not a monarch, she is a consort, however she is a Queen; so surely she would take precedence

AdaColeman · 13/03/2019 21:37

I always think about Charlie, that if he ever lost his job as King he would be such a star as a gentlemans' outfitter, as he usually looks absolutely beautifully turned out himself.

Letizia's dress would look lovely on Kate with its peacock colours.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/03/2019 21:41

He would be @AdaColeman! A while ago we played "what job would HM's children have if they weren't royal" so Charles can be a gentlemen's outfitter! I also still stand by Anne as a hearty games mistress in a posh girl's school, Andrew as some sort of City bigwig who got the job due to who rather what he knew, and Edward as a terribly naice and enthusiastic country vicar!

AdaColeman · 13/03/2019 21:47

You are spot on with Anne and Edward QueenoftheAndals but I see Andy more as a second hand car salesman or a bookie. Grin
