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

@Becles Thanks for posting the Private Eye article. I read about the spoof on another thread but a google had proved fruitless. But does that mean the story of the palace saying it was H&M's press people who issued it was also untrue? Either way, it's amazing how gullible people are. Usually the same people who insist the Rose story couldn't possibly have been true!

@NoTheresa Apparently Andrew is her favourite child. He'll probably worm his way out of it

RF are closing ranks around Andrew.

I think he is an entitled prat, who abuses all the privileges of his position. ( Air miles Andy etc).
However, and I’m not condoning it. The young woman he allegedly had sex with was 17. I genuinely thought Andrew was gay, and benefitted more from loans / money from Epstein.

"entitled prat"

The RF will protect their own. It’s the Firms image that counts!

I'm not sure the picture of Andrew laughing, sitting beside the Queen this morning on the way to or back from church, is the best PR stunt.
It could backfire massively.
The Queen is head of the Church of England - with it go major responsibilities....

I have never thought the prattish Prince Andrew was gay although Prince Edward might have been/be.

He is boorish and rude and probably gout-ridden though.

I thought it was Edward who was possibly gay. But I also thought that was a very English conspiracy theory based on the fact that he didn’t enjoy being in the army and did enjoy being involved in the theatre........

A search for Prince Charles and Jimmy Savile found this article originally published in 1990. The world and his wife knew he was a paedophile but he still got a knighthood.

He really was hiding in plain sight, wasn't he?

Can't polish a turd.

Ugh, has Andrew ever looked more like a smug git than in that photo?

All the criticism of D of S and her so called PR disasters absolutely fade into significance when that photo is seen.

Insignificance.

I really do hope that Andrew is not involved in this.
It has the potential to blow the monarchy apart if true.

He is involved. The extent of his involvement is not yet publicly divulged.

I mean involved as it can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that he did commit the alleged acts/crimes he is accused of.
And if he is proven guilty then he deserves everything he gets.
At this moment in time we know for sure he was friends with Epstein but nothing else has been determined/proved as of yet.

Change of subject: I had a Royal dream last night. I was in McDonalds queuing & saw my friend & thanked her for my birthday presents. Then Max walked up to us but she was called Zara., and she said 'You should have said it was your birthday. I would have got you a present. Let me treat you to a cake instead.'
Then Max/Zara ordered a cake at the McDonalds counter & quarter pounders for everyone.

I have no idea what it means & my birthday was a while ago!

He really was hiding in plain sight, wasn't he?

This. ^
The Jimmy Savile interview is chilling

Meghan Makeup

I want to know what lipstick she wears.
It is the perfect pinky nude.

Anyone watching The Queen's Lost Family on Channel 4 right now? This episode covers HM's aunt and uncles.

The age of consent is NOT the issue here, these girls were sex trafficked and Lord knows what would happen to them if they rufused to - - be raped by-- have sex with these men. People should think twice before they say/write something like she was 17 and not under 16!! A non teenage man can't have sex with someone under 18, even if they're 16 and Andrew was much older than his with daughters of a similar age.

Having said that, Andy's 'girl' was from Florida (where the age of consent is 18) and she was taken across state lines and to different countries for sex and so she was still underage in terms of the US law.

In the interests of ensuring this thread doesn't disappear if comments stray into libellous territory, please could we avoid Epstein chat a little more?

The man is a buffoon. He has no shame.

Good idea Wetdog as we don't want this thread pulled.
