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

I have a Thing for Charles Dance , his voice! Could listen to him talk all day.

Anyone listening to Lady Pamela’s podcasts? Very entertaining.

Absolutely agree with you @beanaseireann

Thank you Boscoismyspiritanimal
Though I couldn't stand Bosco's voice - sorry

I would have said Charles Dance would have been better suited to play an older Prince Phillip.
I don’t think the stories about the Mounbattens are news. There’s been stories that he was bi for years and edwina had many affairs.

@beanaseireann

Marthe Louise on holiday with the Shaman and looking good. He does remind me of Titus Burgess from Kimmy Schmidt though!

Going back to Mountbatten, did anyone catch the documentary about his death last night? I think it was on the BBC.

I think we recorded it.
I'm not at home at the momentbut will check.

In Mountbatten's own words "Edwina and I spent all our married lives getting into other people's beds".
The life of one of his long term mistresses was the inspiration for Colette's novel 'Gigi'.

I saw Pippa Middleton today! She was on her own pushing her baby in her pram, wearing a blue dress with her hair down, and she looked very trim and young and smiley.

Did you ask her if she's a MNetter??

Did you call out "You looked fab at Wimbledon love!"?

I see what you mean about Titus/the shaman Queen!

I haven’t watched Kimmy Schmidt but someone sent this to me once and I loved it- m.youtube.com/watch?v=sUYXk-QcXZ0

The first thing I clocked was her pram, as it was a City Mini, the same one we had for our kids. The least trendy pram ever, but much recommended by the personal shoppers at Peter Jones (the department store, not the Dragon’s Den fella). I glanced over and immediately thought, “I bet she got that at Peter Jones,” and then realised who it was. There was a very funny thread about pram snobbery on here a little while ago and all the hipster Londoners were saying that the Babyzen Yoyo was the pram to have. Apparently not!

YoYos are certainly still the pram to have in the part of London where I live! I had one 5 years ago and would never see any others around but now they're everywhere!

Did anyone see the Bea gossip re: potential engagement in the DM?
Ingrid Sewell or whatever her name.
Now I am a cynical old beast but I could have guessed that would have happened - ooooo about the time old JE was suicided.
On the positive side, they reran the pic of her in the rusty bias cut skirt which I think is her best ever look.

Ingrid Seward? She's one of the old guard of royal reporters so it may well be true. Very convenient for an engagement to come at a time when daddy's dirty dealings are in the spotlight

Lurker just catching up on the thread and I had to laugh when Elspeth said upthread Camilla goes (or used to go) on a sun holiday with her sister every year too

An image popped into my head of Camilla on a £9.50 Sun newspaper holiday In reality she's be horrified but I like to think she'd make the best of it and get sloshed in the bar while eating chicken in a basket!

Ingrid Seward like Penny Junor are so pro Charles and anti Diana. Particularly Penny Junor.

Me too rusty I enjoyed the mental image 😂

This look. I think she looks fab!

Rusty I actually thought that!! I didn't even question it!! I blame the fact that my children are in the midst of getting A level and GCSE results at the moment. I'm completely mithered! Can you imagine?

I want Beatrice to run a mile from him.

Why Beana?

I just think he has a young child and a fiancée who was shocked he'd left them and started a relationship with Beatrice.
