Royal style & gossip: Breton stripes and skinny jeans...

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread. I think we'll be a bit short of royal outfits as they're all off on their holidays atm. But Kate's regatta is coming up next week, hence the thread title!

Same rules as always - keep it light, critique the clothes rather than the women, and don't believe anything printed in the Daily Mail

Yes @itswinetime, Andrew is probably small fry compared to the others implicated.

All a bit timely, isn’t it?

Yes very convenient.
Though as Itswine says the papers are being made public.
Tthe FBI have all the papers/videos etc.
So I expect some big name shocking & surprising convictions.
It's got far too big to cover up.
And it should not be covered up anyhow.

Only a few days ago, he was taken to hospital after being found semi concious in his cell with injuries to his throat, so his death can't be surprise to anyone.

What a shock. Just like the papers talking about F&A being together again just as all the bad press is out against A

I like the pictures of CPM and CPF on their holidays. Her blouse is pretty, despite the toggles and elasticated waist. CPM's hair looks good too, the colour looks good.

Like Mary's blouse

Very convenient re: epstein

There's a Jeffrey Epstein thread running at the moment on Mumsnet.

Hello - I lurk a bit on the threads. I was looking at FutureLearn and spotted a course - The History of Royal Fashion, which reminded me of you lot I thought I'd give it a heads up in case it hadn't been mentioned. There's just time to catch it if you're quick.

Oh wow, that course sounds brilliant!

Anyone comment yet on the Private Eye revelation that The Sun’s big splash on Harry and Meghan’s demands was actually a spoof list handed out by a local resident? It came up on my newsfeed and the tap dancing around why it was 'feasible' is a joke.

The private eye article

That’s interesting Becles and makes a lot of sense!

*A very distinguished local resident'
Hmm wonder who that could be 🤔?
HMQ or Philip? (joke alert)

Does anyone follow British Royal Jewels on Insta? Their post today was about HMQ visiting Uganda in 2003 and wearing some jewellery not seen before or since. They think there might have been a luggage mixup, so she might have borrowed the pieces she was shown wearing!

Can you imagine how horrendous someone’s day at the office must have been if that is what happened?! 🙈😱

Isn't it more likely to be a diplomatic wearing of gifts from the host country? I bet she has vaults full of awful tat that has been given to her.

I’d love to know who the distinguished local resident is!!

Andrew lives near Windsor doesn't he? And may have an ulterior motive for getting other royals bad press

I've been thinking - it's interesting how visible some royals are over the summer holidays, while there are others we don't get to see at all.

We've seen quite a lot of photos of Leti and CPM, but very little of the British RF and nothing of Max - which seems unusual considering how visible she is normally. I wonder where the Dutch RF spend the summer?

Prince Andrew can’t be feeling very comfortable this morning. It’s all very strange and unsavoury.

Surely if he had much of a conscience he wouldn’t have been friends with him in the first place?

Now it’s moved into murky territory. The queen must be incandescent.

@itswinetime 🤭

I think the invisibility of the British Royal Family over summer is down to press agreement not to bother them.
