Who is the head of the Church of Scotland?

Onprozacandmyhighhorse · 26/08/2019 14:14

In the Church of Scotland we recognise Jesus Church as King and the head of the Church therefore when the Queen attends it is as a normal member. This is normal in a Presbyterian church.

Who is Jesus Church?

TSSDNCOP · 26/08/2019 14:18

I love that peacock print dress. Hopefully that will get another Autumn outing.

Onprozacandmyhighhorse · 26/08/2019 14:19

Apologies, Jesus Christ.

banivani · 26/08/2019 15:05

Pmsl at Jesus Church ;) best typo ever!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 26/08/2019 15:12

That’s why Anne remarried in Scotland, as her mother was head of the CofE

AudacityOfHope · 26/08/2019 15:21

Jesus Church Grin

I'm Scottish and I don't give a fig about Jesus or his church. I would not be a good addition to the RF in that (or any, actually) regard.

Anne's second wedding was held in Scotland because at that time the CofE did not allow divorcees to remarry whilst their previous spouse was still living, so a wedding in England was not available to them.
The CofS doesn't view marriage as a sacrament, so has a more flexible attitude to remarriages.

Maybe it’s not the right place , but This magazine , which I found in the airport lounge made a noisy flight pleasant, they basically cover all FLOTUS, I just didn’t know how accomplished most of them were . Lucy Hayes was the first to hold a degree .

Jackie Kennedy covered the Coronation Shock.

I believe this is Pierre C on Greta Thunberg's instagram www.instagram.com/p/B1l4yVUh4Rc/

Comments on his outfit? ;)

QueenOfTheAndals · 27/08/2019 10:01

looking casual in a tshirt that I think features her husband and son!

That should be RANIA looking casual...

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 27/08/2019 12:17

That is the hippest I’ve seen Rania looking in a long time. (As opposed to this asymmetrical horror )

King Felipe is looking very silver fox here. Love his casual gear.

I like that Letizia is letting her greys come through. Perhaps she can become a silver vixen. She is actually ageing very gracefully.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 27/08/2019 12:22

More Pantone Royal lady throwbacks
I think CP Mary looks really elegant in the white; really pretty with the gold filigree earrings and surprisingly the gold shoes.

latedecember1963 · 27/08/2019 12:29

Rania's t-shirt is really sweet. Her and Abdullah seem to have a happy marriage (as far as we are allowed to see of course).
I think King Hussain was married 2 or 3 times so it's nice that he seems to have bucked the trend.
Next to the Rania story I spotted one about former king Juan Carlos being visited in hospital. (I don't know how to share it, sorry.) Leti and Felipe are wearing his 'n' hers shoes. So cute, as my son's fiancee would say. 😍

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 27/08/2019 12:30

@latedecember63

That’s the one I linked to calling Felipe a silver fox.

latedecember1963 · 27/08/2019 12:30

Ah, you spotted it too Curly!

latedecember1963 · 27/08/2019 12:31

Cross posting! 😃

GotToGoMyOwnWay · 27/08/2019 12:34

Felipe just looks better & better.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 27/08/2019 12:43

Letizia looks tiny here.Literally up to his shoulder.
How tall are they both?

QueenOfTheAndals · 27/08/2019 13:29

Letizia is apparently 5'7 so she isn't short at all. Problem is she's always photographed next to SFF who's about 6'5 or 6'6!

OP posts:
queenofarles · 27/08/2019 13:35

Letizia can’t be 5’7, I think more 5’5 .
Former Queen Sofia is 5’7 and even in kitten heel shoes she doesn’t look dwarfed standing next to her son ,

BigGreenOlives · 27/08/2019 13:35

I love his look. I’ve just shown DH and will hint he should go for a paler jacket. Perfect for Goodwood!
