Royal style & gossip: now where's that baby??

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Sorry, I dropped the ball again!

Link to previous thread.

I can't believe that Baby Sussex is the reason for an early reception. Surely the newly refurbished cottage is sound-proof?

Sounds like a bollox story to me.

Undoubtedly Megan will cop the blame.

Oh that goes without saying.

Come on Daily Fail - another stick to beat a pregnant woman with, what are you waiting for.......

maybe they want an afternoon reception? otherwise they would have chosen another venue. ?

My bab6 was predicted to be 9lbs at least. He was born hours later at less than seven!

Catherine has been made a Dame Grand Cross of The Royal Victorian Order.

It is a bit shit if it’s true.

It's the Express @CurlyWurlyTwirly, of course it isn't true!

It’s not as if they don’t have enough places to have a party. They aren’t all camped together in the same house.

Well they sort of do all live together at KP.
Prince Charles once called it the «Aunt Heap»

The Michaels of Kent once had a country home called Nether Lypiatt. They had to sell it to pay market rent for their apartment at KP

I thought it was Edward VIII who referred to the ‘Aunt Heap’? He wasn’t a big fan of his family in general and I don’t think many of his aunts were big fans of his....

Crikey, can't believe we're on another thread and no baby yet! 😀

Happy Anniversary to the Cambridges, doesn't seem like 8yrs - we watched on TV all dressed up as if we were guests! 😆 We were going to wear wedding dresses but not everyone still had theirs.

Good Luck on the A55 latedecember1963, I'm braving it on BH Monday 😮

I love the photos and video of Sophie with the babies on IG.

Hoping Meghan has a smooth birth and recovery.

Can’t believe they sold the country house to pay rent for KP apartment.

I didn't watch W&K's wedding as I was trying to impress the guy I was seeing with trying to appear cool and show how little I cared for the royals, so we went away for the weekend.

By the time H&M's wedding rolled around we had a 4yo and I had to need to impress him so I sent him out with said 4yo so I could watch in peace!

Sorry for posting old news. Need to learn really.

The Michaels of Kent used to pay £65 pounds a week rent for their Grace and Favour apartment in KP]].
The market rent was said to be £125,000 pa. The Queen paid it till 2009 out of her personal money. They got about £6 million for their country house.
( I bet there’ll be an article about the impoverished Kents in the run up to Ella’s wedding)

Yeah I wonder who's bankrolling the wedding 🤔

Checking in.

CP Mary in a navy trouser suit today. I think a lighter coloured blouse would have lifted it. Also looked bit big for her maybe?

@CurlyWurlyTwirly
Beautiful child!

They have wealthy friends and Prince Michael is very popular in Russia due to his resemblance to the Romanovs.

On the other Royal thread, someone made an interesting point that Prince Michael was related to the last Tsar from both his maternal and paternal line. I will try and find the post, it was very interesting.

Yes, Princess Marina's mother was a Grand Duchess. Possibly a niece or cousin of Nicholas II.

The Groom is well off isn’t he? I remember Ppipa dated him for a short time.

Prince Michael attended the funerals of the Tsar and his family, but it was Prince Philip's DNA that was used to identify most of them.

Right I've 100% name changed for this but my utterly shit claim to fame is that, on the day of K&W's wedding, my daughter's picture was in the local paper.

Her name is Kate and she was at a baby sensory class with a William so we did it as a favour to the woman who ran the class.

She had to wear a little frilly white dress and everything.

Oh god

CP Mary looking elegant there, MotherofPearl. A lighter blouse would have made it less sombre.
