I've lost count of how many threads we've had! Previous thread.

Let's keep the gossip lighthearted and, as always, stick to critiquing the clothes rather than being overly critical about the women wearing them.

Ooh that dress is making my eyes go all funny!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 18/07/2019 19:38

Apparently this is where they stay on Mustique Aurora House

Holidays like that would make me want to be rich.....

StCharlotte · 18/07/2019 19:40

Can - hardly - keep - up - with - the - threads ^^

latedecember1963 I presume they whizz by because there are many more posters. I think I've managed at least one comment on each one (with a name change). I would probably have stepped away from MN but for these threads.

Thanks for the new thread Queen.

StCharlotte · 18/07/2019 19:45

I think Eugenie loiks magnificent in that dress. Plus ca change!

StCharlotte · 18/07/2019 19:45
  • looks 🙄
ElspethFlashman · 18/07/2019 19:47

Love Letis unusual print. 👍

Love Eugenie's boobs V neck.

ElspethFlashman · 18/07/2019 19:52

That house has only 2 doubles and 1 single though!

2 bedrooms in an adjoining cottage but presumably they're for security? Or would they sleep down the road I wonder?

AppleKatie · 18/07/2019 19:59

Double for Kate and William,
Double for the boys (sure they can get the bed changed for twins no problem)
Single for Charlotte.

Two bedroom cottage for the the nannies.

Security down the hill?

Tbh I would assume that the configuration inside the house can be changed to whatever they want it to be for £££&

ElspethFlashman · 18/07/2019 20:16

Do they not stay with Carole and Michael then? I rather thought that they did. But perhaps since having the kids it's not feasible.

itswinetime · 18/07/2019 20:21

I'm confused in the link curly posted it's a 5 bedroom house that's sleeps 8 that's loads of room so why are people talking about a smaller place have I missed something again 🤷🏻‍♀️

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/07/2019 20:34

Have you been to Mustique @Myimaginarycathasfleas ?

Yes, twice @CurlyWurlyTwirly, but I'll fess up, only as a day tripper! It was lovely though.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/07/2019 20:38

Looking at that link it isn't the house pointed out to us, although it did overlook Macaroni Beach. Looks like they upgraded!

Gooseysgirl · 18/07/2019 21:03

I can't even see Carl P's face in that photo and I want to have my wicked way with him 🤤
Eugenie looking fab - if you've got it, flaunt it 😉

Daisypie · 18/07/2019 21:16

Love that look on Eug.

banivani · 18/07/2019 21:18

It’s been a cold summer in Sweden but not quite scarf cold in my opinion 🤔 might be windy where they are though. Cynically I’m wondering if they are pushing the scarves.

frugalkitty · 18/07/2019 21:20

Goosey I know what you mean about CP but he's just too short which knocks him off the shagability scale for me

For balance, seeing as the issue of what Kate may or may not wear underwear wise has been raised , am I allowed to do the same for Hottie Haakon in the airing cupboard? Grin

Wetdogloveshubert · 18/07/2019 22:14

Thanks for the new thread, @QueenOfTheAndals! Star

I like the underwear talk! I wonder if Kate's dresses have undies sewn in?

JaimeBronde · 18/07/2019 22:25

Thanks for new thread Queen.
I think these threads would be great as a book!
Back to Eugenie in her green frock. She looks gorgeous though I'd lop an inch or 2 off the hem as she's got great legs.

Lotions & potions, tried Astral as lots of posters raved about it but I didn't like it as caused my skin to dry out & go rough & itchy. I think it's because it's mainly petrolatum based. Vaseline does the same thing to my face/body too. Hate the stuff.
I tend to stick to things that contain more recent plant oils rather than fossilised plants.

Face stuff I'm a mixture of LE, Clarins, Aldi & M&S & also like the Garnier Micellar Water with the pink lid & Superdrug Fragrance Free Cleansing Wipes (yes naughty)

I remember a time before Cleansing/Make Up Remover wipes & to be fair we didn't miss what we didn't have. I need to give my wipes up.

SenecaFalls · 18/07/2019 22:26

Hello, y'all, and thanks for the new thread Queen. Love all the skincare tips, by the way.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/07/2019 22:31

I wonder if Kate's dresses have undies sewn in?

How would she go to the toilet then @Wetdogloveshubert???

OP posts:
Wetdogloveshubert · 18/07/2019 22:36

Grin I was thinking more along the lines of her brassieres! I'd think the same as previous posters - old fashioned slips, big granny pants, or all-in-ones.

DevonUkelele · 18/07/2019 22:36

I've been desperately searching looking for a frock for a dressy day occasion, and just about everything looks like Eugenie's - loud pattern, v-neck or wrap, little belt, full skirt, georgette sleeves (and sometimes skirt). She's very on point!

Gee the body language in the Swedish royal photo is interesting, isn't it? I wonder how that queen (Sylvia?) is as a mother in law Grin.

QueenOfTheAndals · 18/07/2019 22:45

@DevonUkelele I always wonder if HCP realises that Sofia is a dead ringer for a young Silvia?

OP posts:
DevonUkelele · 18/07/2019 23:11

Yes @Queen! Though they all seem very alike to me - CPV and her husband too. I think that's why I am often not sure which is which!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 19/07/2019 00:13

@Myimaginarycathasfleas

I only googled Aurora house
They stayed there before in 2015; may well have upgraded to a bigger one.

Where were you on holiday to do a day trip to Mustique?
