I was in NY at the weekend - where is the plaque youngest?

youngestisapsycho · 22/03/2019 17:31

It was a church near Ground Zero.... I’ll try and find the name.

youngestisapsycho · 22/03/2019 17:36

This one....

@youngestisapsycho that's a great find. Spouses have a rough deal!

Paradyning · 22/03/2019 18:27

Charlene's trousers make her look like she has some weird stilts on underneath

DontCallMeCharlotte · 22/03/2019 18:48

I really really hate those over-long trousers. They look bloody ridiculous. On absolutely everyone.

Who can I complain to?

Here are some glam shots of HM back in the day. Showing off shoulders and arms too - scandale! Imagine the pearl-clutching if Kate or Meghan showed up somewhere in a strapless dress??

That pink! Stunning!! Would love to see Kate wear that. Bet they still have it somewhere! Her waist is tiny!

Horsemad · 22/03/2019 20:21

Gorgeous pics of HM and yes, how tiny is her waist?! 😮

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 22/03/2019 20:32

I can quite imagine a young Queen holding on to a vertical column of her four poster bed (a la Scarlett O'Hara) whilst her dresser pulls the laces of her corset tight.
I wonder if she ever muttered 'oh bugger' when it got too uncomfortably tight.

Paradyning · 22/03/2019 20:35

Those earrings are mega!!!

Mmmhmmokdear · 22/03/2019 20:47

Those pictures of the Queen are absolutely beautiful. She was stunning back in the day wasn't she? Loving the first pink dress and the massive tiara.

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/03/2019 21:01

And some of a young Princess Margaret.

I love the middle picture. She is totally owning being the Queen

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 22/03/2019 21:04

The young Margaret is even more beautiful than her contemporary, Elizabeth Taylor

They had a very similar look didn't they? Apparently they once met at a dinner and Liz was wearing a massive diamond ring. Margaret said it was the most vulgar thing she'd ever seen so Liz let her try it on and then said "not so vulgar now, is it?"!!

Princess Margaret is pretttier than Liz, she was stunning, her skin always looks flawless and dewy.

I never noticed this, but viscount Linely looks so much like The Queen!

AnneEyhtMeyer · 22/03/2019 21:31

Charles resembles Margaret.

Wetdogloveshubert · 22/03/2019 21:32

They're really rocking short hairstyles too! Other than Charlene, far fewer women seem to enjoy having shorter hair.

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/03/2019 21:32

I don't think any of them resemble Margaret, not even her own children!

AnneEyhtMeyer · 22/03/2019 21:42

Really? Surprised you can't see it in the nose, brow and cheek bones. Same facial structure.

queenofarles · 22/03/2019 21:55

Charles resembles Margaret yea sort of. My DM would say something along the lines of having the same “blood” ? Its when two relatives don’t share any resembling features but somehow you just know they are related? I bet something got lost in translation here but you know what I mean? Grin

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 23/03/2019 00:42

I think in another life Princess Margaret could have been a model.
She's very photogenic & looks beautiful in photos compared to just pretty in real life. Funnily enough many top models look ordinary or just pretty, even slightly horse like in real life but the camera loves those angles/bone structure & wow you have the most beautiful person ever in photo.

mathanxiety · 23/03/2019 01:24

Nah, the Queen was never more than an 'imposing' looking woman - Margaret got the looks in that family.
