@OhGodTheShame that is hilariousGrin

SwimmingintheDeepBLUESea · 29/04/2019 22:48

ohgodtheshame I think that is cute, embarrassing and funny in equal measure Grin

PinguDance · 29/04/2019 22:49

Love seeing throwback pics from K+W wedding - Princess Anne’s outfit was a dream, to describe it it should be should be mumsy and lame but the tailoring is fierce. Sophie and Zara also looking good.

PinguDance · 29/04/2019 22:54

Also that must be total nonsense about this wedding reception - frogmore house is a)massive and could clearly accommodate an enormous party in one wing, b) separate and apart form frognore cottage and c) frogmore cottage is also huge - I’m sure they can put a few empty rooms between each other so as not to be disturbed by the noise ffs.

OhGodTheShame Brilliant! Grin

What lovely photos of Sophie and the premature babies ❤️ She’s a class act. I’ve attached a few more from the Royal Family Twitter.

Funny BRF Instagram page for anyone interested. She had a nice story up for the Cambridge’s anniversary but it might be down by the time the UK wakes up. A few good pictures of Diana on the Instagram page I hadn’t seen Smile

Bridiehouse · 30/04/2019 00:46

Ah what adorable photos on that story Ahoy. Must admit it made me think of the current W&K rumours and hope they aren’t true when they look so happy together there Sad. Lots of interesting photos I haven’t seen before on the feed as well!

JessMariano · 30/04/2019 00:57

These threads are my go-to when I can’t sleep, so thanks all.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/04/2019 02:22

Sophie picks patronages that she can really connect with. She really throws her weight behind what she supports.
Her speech a couple of months ago speaking out against sexual violence against women was very powerful.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 30/04/2019 02:44

Thanks for the new thread Queen
Have been busy on the other thread with Curly. It's gone from an AIBU to more of a genteel chat about the history of the Royals, last few pages have been about the British & Russian Royal Families circa late 19th/early 20th century with Henry VIII stinky leg ulcers thrown in for good measure.

Have pinched one my posts on that thread regarding Frogmore Cottage.
Have also discovered that Xenia one of the daughters of Dagmar (Maria Feodorovna) whilst in exile in England lived at..............Frogmore Cottage.
So Princess/Lady Xenia Sussex has a nice family & historical connection (that's if H&M have a little girl & use the name Xenia.)

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/04/2019 02:55

Mary and Fred have been attending Danish princess Benedicte’s 75th.
I love Fred’s midnight blue tux, looks great with Mary’s fab gown. I think she is single handedly trying to revive lace dresses.

Love Mary's dress. She always (almost always) looks immaculate as these sorts of dos.
That's a nice pic of the sisters too

LoversLane · 30/04/2019 07:04

I know up guys have the hits for Haakon (and I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating biscuits) but it's Fred for me. He looks lovely in that tux.

99% of the time I really like Mary’s fashion sense, very closely followed by Leti. If I had the body, height and money I think I would choose her wardrobe!

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/04/2019 07:09

Fred is definitely fit and has a twinkle in his eye. He looks so youthful too, it's hard to believe he's in his fifties isn't it?

I didn't follow Sophie before but this thread has ins[irked me. Think I will go track down a few dedicated blogs.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/04/2019 07:42

Just heard on the news that BP has reserved page names hrh Prince James, Alexander and something else.
I can’t find anything. But I also heard that Meghan said at her baby shower she was having a boy.
So Earl Dumbarton should be here any day now...

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/04/2019 07:43

Fred is a former Danish Navy Seal. In his youth he was called the turbo prince

NearlySchoolTimeAgain · 30/04/2019 08:23

I noticed this whilst looking at the baby names news. Has this been discussed before and I missed it?

www.nowtolove.co.nz/celebrity/royals/kiwi-royal-gary-lewis-splits-from-lady-davina-windsor-40888

Kiwi royal, Gary Lewis, has split from his wife of 14 years, Lady Davina Windsor, after becoming the first person of Māori descent to marry into the British royal family in 2004.

Daisypie · 30/04/2019 09:00

Fred has a little boy twinkle but often looks hungover.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 30/04/2019 09:01

Yes, the divorce came to light after the shootings in the NZ mosque

queenofarles · 30/04/2019 09:06

CP Fred looks so tiny, I think he is not very tall?

Honestly most royal men give me the creeps.
Haakon was ok-ish but not anymore. Probably the only hot royal IMO is Felipe of Spain.

SlipperOrchid · 30/04/2019 09:32

Just heard on the news that BP has reserved page names hrh Prince James, Alexander

Can somebody explain how BP can reserve a page name? I don't understand what they mean ie is it ready to go to print or have they told the Times to keep the first name space free? I'd have thought it would be a headline rather than in the baby announcements? I'm very confused obviously :).

Also isn't Sophie Wessex's son James Alexander Philip?
They will hardly use the same name surely?

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 30/04/2019 09:37

I think she is single handedly trying to revive lace dresses.

I don't blame her. Lace sleeves are a very forgiving option for mature arms!

GrumbleBumble · 30/04/2019 09:43

@SlipperOrchid I think it means internet page i.e. www.hrhpricejames.com

pinkladyapples · 30/04/2019 09:43

Love CP Mary's dress. Here is a closer look. She looks fantastic as does Fred Wink
