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 Grin

I can't bring myself to be too bothered with who complete strangers marry but an engagement announcement would VERY convenient right now.

If she does get wed she best pull out the stops on her wedding dress! And tiara!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/08/2019 20:07

I wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t an engagement announcement later in the year. RF tend to do winter announcements and short engagements.
There’s a whole raft of Overseas tours in the Autumn so I’m sure they don’t want to overshadow all that positive PR.
I’m not sure exactly in which order; but I think it’s M&H first to S. Africa, then K&W to Pakistan and I’m pretty sure C&C are due somewhere as well, but I forget.

Sky News is running the Epstein/ Andrew story on tv now. They've sent a reporter to Sotogrande in search of Andrew and Sarah. Hmm

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/08/2019 20:09

Béatrice appears to have a great stylist at the moment, so I suspect she’ll wear something pretty sleek.
Hopefully HM has another fabulous tiara in reserve for her to wear.

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/08/2019 20:14

With the allegations against Andrew, I think he'd have to be VERY thick skinned to demand the same sort of wedding Eugenie had.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/08/2019 20:16

Ha!
She’ll get the carriage.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/08/2019 20:17

Has Andrew ever displayed humility in his life.
He has the hide of a boar.

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/08/2019 20:24

Well the BBC said no to him last time so let's hope ITV does the same!

It would be a shame though for Bea to be penalised for her father's misdeeds. Also I think the distraction of a royal wedding might be considered welcome!

managedmis · 20/08/2019 20:56

Came on to say that Eugenie looks good in the rust coloured skirt.

She's finally listening to us!

Shock
managedmis · 20/08/2019 20:57

Beatrice, not Eugenie

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/08/2019 21:02

I don’t think the York girls should be penalised for having a twat for a father. I’d like to see a televised wedding. We get to see all the royals dressed up; what’s not to like. If they don’t have a carriage ride, and stick to being in the grounds of Windsor castle, that’s a lot of £££s saved on security.

SheStoopsToConker · 20/08/2019 21:05

I don't think I could stomach seeing Andrew gurning as he walked Beatrice down the aisle.

AppleKatie · 20/08/2019 21:32

If Andrew could be detained at her majesty’s pleasure and we could see the rest on parade that would be great. Fergie to walk her down the aisle 😃

AppleKatie · 20/08/2019 21:34

That said there is something unsettling about that picture of Beatrice’s beau. She looks great, he looks untrustworthy somehow.

Rhubarbisevil · 20/08/2019 22:10

What? As in grounded?

DevonUkelele · 20/08/2019 22:36

*That said there is something unsettling about that picture of Beatrice’s beau. She looks great, he looks untrustworthy somehow.

Yep 🧐

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/08/2019 23:16

Statistically, one of the Queen’s grandchildren is going to get divorced.
Édouardo has got form for being a Bolter.
Let Béa have her wedding; pop out a couple of kids and see what happens.
She wouldn’t be the first or last princess to get divorced.
I know I’m being negative; but that’s real life. She wasted 10 years on that American chap, so she may as well get married if she’s in love.
She’s never going to be a single mum on benefits and her kids won’t be Royal so she’s going to have to pay for them herself.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/08/2019 23:18

Should have been done long ago.

Gooseysgirl · 21/08/2019 01:48

Good luck to Bea and Edo if marriage is on the cards... bring on the wedding fashion I say! 😄

Laiste · 21/08/2019 08:47

Yep - love the wedding fashion Grin I look forward to it!

(However the Yorks bring out the very worst of my 'want to see it all but hate them' blend so i'll be strangely divided. Again. Grin)

BertrandRussell · 21/08/2019 09:01

You don’t have to think there’s “something” unsettling about what’s his name. You just have to know he dumped his wife and baby when he got a better offer.......

AppleKatie · 21/08/2019 09:46

I only know that from here and I’m too lazy to google the facts Bertrand it is the summer after all. So i’ll Stick to ‘something’ lest I get sued for ignorance 😃

UrsulaPandress · 21/08/2019 12:21

A wedding would be just grand.
