Royal style & gossip: who's having a ball in Balmoral?

Another link from the same blog by Ebba von Sydow, to keep you all sedated happy:

There are the same photos of the mustard dress and the water dress on CPV (I have to say, Ebba vS finds good photos). I like the picture of CPV beside Macinley Butson, who won the Water Prize for inventing a sticker that measures UV radiation when water is being purified using solar energy. Further down there's a casual blazer outfit youse might enjoy (I can see DoS wearing similar) and some Norwegian royalty pics, plus a photo of Pierre Casiraghi because Greta Thunberg. So funny that he's just a hanger-on to Greta T now.

I like CPV's hair in the pics wih the blazer - having her bun higher up on the back of her head, and slightly less scraped back, is a better look imo. I don't suit a low bun or ponytail either - slightly higher is better, while avoiding the drug smuggler arrested in Peru / cottage loaf look, of course!

Great link @banivani

Diana the Musical
(You couldn’t make it up)

Diana the Musical
Can’t be a very Cheery Mamma Mia sort of Musical , why would anybody think of producing a Musical about her

Well it worked with Evita!

I instantly started humming Once More With Feeling songs in my head, so clearly I suspect Diana The Musical to be similar! ;)

I googled a little to see if I could find an article about CPV:s hair dresser, but the only ones I see are from like 2010, 2014. So rather old. But here's a link to a designer she buys leather (!) hair accessories from www.wakakuu.com/eu/designers/corinne.html Actually quite a good idea to bring a bit of contemporary edge into outfits that by necessity have to be uncontroversial. And, again - Swedish design. She is very good at this.

I have wondered if CPV does it a) as a uniform b) it's easier and c) because it acts as a divider between her private and personal lives. I mean, if she wears her hair loose, with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, it's practically a disguise and she can wonder around with no one recognising her?

Could be something in that theory @BlingLoving, she does look quite different with her hair down. And maybe if Daniel wears contacts and foregoes hair gel he's unrecognisable?

Here's an article about the guy who did her hair for her wedding - don't know if he still does it regularly. He talks about how special it was to hold the diadem. But you lot can't understand what he says ner ner ner :P

Lady Katy Spencer in Barbie Pink and Bulgari jewels.

I do like Cressida Bonas's engagement ring but i would have prefer platinum rather than yellow gold. I'd ditch the rubies too.
They are a handsome couple.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of Diana's death. 22 years...

I recall that day so clearly still.

The musical is something I did not know about.

"Songs reportedly include Snap, Click, about the paparazzi; Welcome To The Windsors and Here Comes James Hewitt"

!!!

So Hailey Bieber is in Vogue Paris styled as Princess Diana. ( I have no idea who Hailey Bieber is; i just saw it was trending on Twitter)

She's married to Justin Bieber. Her dad is one of the Baldwin brothers who isn't Alec but I don't know which one.

Apparently we'll see Kate on Thursday for Charlotte's first day at school.

Welcome To The Windsors

Annnnd now I have that set to the tune of Welcome to the Jungle in my head 😂

Hailey Bieber married to Justin.
Used to be Hailey Baldwin. Niece of Alec Baldwin and cousin of Ireland Baldwin.
Wiki is great

Lady Kitty Spencer is absolutely beautiful.

Meant to say that she is looking beautiful in the pink outfit. I think all the Spencer offsprings are classy and good looking.

The way her arms are bent in the second photo makes her look like an actual Barbie!

Hailey Bieber as the Princess of Wales on the eve of the anniversary of PofW’s death strikes me as incredibly insensitive & inappropriate. Grim.

Lady Kitty’s current and previous boyfriends.
She’s going out with 60 year old Michael Lewis, owner of Whistles.

A case of "what do you see in multi-millionaire Michael Lewis"?
