Bloody Rodebjer, CPV must have shares in the company. However, here we have a cultural difference - there is a certain Scandinavian look to that that is appreciated there.

banivani · 28/08/2019 15:28

Here even. I am here. In Scandinavia.

I should probably add that I mean no malice towards our old friend, it's just that she was the first person I thought of when I read that bio!

Haha that's hilarious (and slightly terrifying!) Grin

Now now mean girls !!! Smile

DobbyTheHouseElk · 28/08/2019 18:08

Help me out? I think I know, but a clue.

hopeishere · 28/08/2019 18:15

Xenia?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 28/08/2019 18:20

Prince Harry allegedly used her loo.

GotToGoMyOwnWay · 28/08/2019 18:26

I can’t remember her username but I don’t think it was Xenia.

GotToGoMyOwnWay · 28/08/2019 18:27

It was quite a few threads back IIRC.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 28/08/2019 18:39

Ah ok, I know. That’s who I thought,

Tablefor4 · 28/08/2019 19:11

Xenia is a tax lawyer with 5 children, an ex-husband and an island. (She's on another forum I'm on).

Stravapalava · 28/08/2019 19:19

Oh my goodness! Imagine! She'd definitely be reading all the threads then.

M and H apparently had Sunday lunch in a pub ! So much for all this privacy they apparently so desperately need.

😂 So they're not allowed out now?! They said they wanted Archie to be a private citizen, not privacy for themselves. They did this by not giving him a royal title that he was entitled to and I guess he will mainly be out of the public eye. They have stuck to this so far.

AudacityOfHope · 28/08/2019 21:02

I'm sorry, why are we offended that some people ate lunch outside their own homes? Confused

“I'm sorry, why are we offended that some people ate lunch outside their own homes?

Because it doesn’t fit the narrative we have been sold by the Daily Mail.

AudacityOfHope · 28/08/2019 21:13

Imagine giving any kind of fuck where they eat. And taking offence because 'privacy'.

A lot of people are a whole lot of batshit.

EmGee · 28/08/2019 21:13

I like that they have enjoyed a nice Sunday lunch out in a pub. They must get sick of foie gras and state banquets!

lavenderandthyme · 28/08/2019 21:19

No offence about 'privacy'. It's refreshing to hear. Its just a bit at odds with Elton John's statement about how they needed a private plane for privacy and security reasons, yet they can eat in a pub with other people. That's batshit.

lavenderandthyme · 28/08/2019 21:19

Archie was there too.

BertrandRussell · 28/08/2019 21:20

I do wonder about all sorts of silly practicalities about being royal. How do they pay for a pub lunch- debit card or cash? If cash- where do they get it? Is there a big box of money in their houses that someone keeps topped up?

AppleKatie · 28/08/2019 21:22

I’m sure they have a credit card.

But also that they can send a valet or similar for cash should it be required.
