I really like Eugenie's dress.

Stravapalava · 09/04/2019 18:48

I was just googling Cressida Bonas and noticed that she wore a Kate style headband to Eugenie's wedding! Clearly this is A Thing! Maybe I need a headband?

The Crown has found someone to play Diana. She's previously done one episode of Grantchester and that's it : www.imdb.com/name/nm10128408/

Good likeness!!

TipseyTorvey · 09/04/2019 19:04

Very excited about the new thread as have some time off so can play properly instead of --looking after my children working (hope the strike out worked..)

TipseyTorvey · 09/04/2019 19:05

No it didn't. Need more practice!

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/04/2019 19:08

I've not seen that actress in anything but she does look like photos I've seen of Diana in her midteens when she had longer hair. Elizabeth Debicki would still be my choice for an older Diana!

HAIRBAND KLAXON!!!

Alex Jones on The One Show. Sadly I think she's got it wrong and you know I love a hairband.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 09/04/2019 19:13

And loving Eugenie's dress.

TyraAllen · 09/04/2019 19:23

Queen - there's very little to see her in!

Elizabeth Debicki looks like she'd be a good match but she's in the Guardians of the Galaxy series which starts filming again soon so probably isn't available.

I know they were going to introduce Diana in s3, but it has now been pushed back to s4, so I wonder if they are going to try and get her entire royal story into one season?

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/04/2019 19:52

I wonder if The Crown will end after the death of Diana? It all gets a bit mundane after that and wouldn’t make for very entertaining viewing.

The manoeuvring to get Camilla accepted as a future consort could make a good few episodes

Elizabeth Debicki is an excellent spot - she has Diana's nose, and height (more than) - she is a beautiful woman and actress.

Eugenie's dress was gorgeous.

TipseyTorvey · 09/04/2019 22:01

Queen I think you might be right about The Crown with 'what happens after Diana dies' I'm struggling to think what happened that I remember between that, and Will marrying Kate after a long long and rightly private courtship (bar helicopter flirting).

cathyandclare · 09/04/2019 22:05

I've seen Emma Corrin in some stuff at Cambridge Uni . Since graduation she's been cast in a high profile Warner series and a feature film as well as Granchester. She's a good actress and looks just like Diana. S

Queen - “Headbands and birth plans”?!

Love catching up on a thread :)

QueenOfTheAndals · 09/04/2019 23:31

That is inspired @Notmyrealname855!

Apparently Meghan wants a home birth DM link.
I think this story is definitely a plant, to divert attention.
Kate wanted a home birth with Louis and she had already proved she had had easy births.
Apparently Diana was encouraged to give birth in hospital so that there wasn’t a trend for home births.

My money is still on the Kensington wing, Chelsea and Westminster. Underground car park with access via a back road. Elevator straight up to the private wing. Meghan could be whisked in and out without anyone seeing,

polarpig · 10/04/2019 06:04

A home birth is a ridiculous idea, will nobody think of the new carpets?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/04/2019 07:20

Charles and Camilla, 14 years today. Who’d a thunk it?

The DM change their story from day to day. They must be livid that they don't actually know!

Nice photo of C&C. He's aged a lot in recent years but it seems to me that she's looked the same since about 1992!!

Just had to bring to your attention this Brazilian Aquamarine Tiara the Queen wore in 1986 (photo from Town and Country).

QueenOfTheAndals · 10/04/2019 07:35

Aquamarines are beautiful stones but I find those pieces a bit clunky. Also HM's face is too powdered - her neck is a different colour!

The idea is for The Crown to go to 6 seasons, and have each one cover roughly a decade, but I suppose it will depend if it is still popular with the new cast.
