Royal style & gossip: back to style, back to reality...

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Sorry! I was in a meeting and dropped the ball.

Previous thread and previous rules apply!

The US Senate observes National Seersucker Day. It's a bi-partisan event.

Oh i thought the cougar was Sophie!

Sterling work @banivani. Love a man in a dry suit! Although he is breaking the second rule of diving which is don't put your mask in your forehead.
Haakon does look like William. Must be all the intermarriages. I don't fancy Wills though!

I think the reference was to Sophie, Queen! (But I struggled to follow it so could be wrong)

Hate the dress material/pattern and the shoes. But I like the cut. That style suits Kate.
The comments on that blind on CDAN were v suspicious that it had been 'leaked' by Megs' new PR firm.

It's all just one big game

I thought Sophie at first too but then it said "like father like daughter" and I'm not sure I've ever heard that Mr Rhys Jones liked younger women! The DoE on the other hand...

Though tbh anyone can make up a blind!

Love the National Seersucker Day haha.

Pictures from the Swedish Opening of Parliament today. Victoria is being praised in the press for rewearing the same jacket she's worn on the other openings.

Tradition dictates that the royal laydeees wear black and white, in reference to the old court dress which was black and white - but the men stuck to the same colour scheme this year.

And that's ignoring the bit about Harry's secret child and William looking like a friend of Diana's!

F is Anne, surely?

I thought the same Queen Sophie at first but then Anne. All made up for sure but I reckon there's a grain of truth in some bits.

And isn’t it Harry who infamously looks like a friend of hia mother, not William?

The state of F's (sibling of B who never makes the news) marriage is in the trash. Apparently she's gone full cougar and is having a dalliance with a younger man. Like father like daughter.

Could be either really.

F is Edward, Anne or Charles.

William is the 'cheating' one, and harry is the private jet one.
F never makes the news - so not Charles.

The marriage is in the trash - she's gone cougar. The spouse - Sophie, or F themselves - Anne.

Like father like daughter .... no idea. Prince Philip or Sophie's father going with younger women?

The william line should have been at bottom of the post

Yes the love child , what’s that all about? Very regency era romance novel , without the Vegas bit.

On rereading it it's so jumbled that I'm inclined to think it's all bollocks!

I think you're right with Anne as Phillip is well known to have dallied (allegedly😜).

I'm not that keen on the dress but do think Kate looks fab in it. Although she probably would in a bin liner

I think Kate looks happy and would look good in anything really but can't say I like the pattern or seersucker fabric, a bit old fashioned to me. A bit too much volume at the bottom for me too. I don't mind long sleeved midi dresses myself though.

Mary Berry looks fantastic, as she normally does. She's very good at looking fresh, fun and modern but still herself.

The blind item reads like someone has shoved all the rumours together and then mixed the alphabet in!

F is Anne I would think! There have long been rumours about her marriage and the like father lol daughter part makes me think it's a royal playing away!

The William and Harry bit is where it all gets completely ridiculous so probably it's all made up but I can see a grain of truth in Andrew throwing Meghan to the wolves to save himself!

Wine I also expect at some point Fergie to be thrown to the wolves too in order for Andrew to come up smelling of roses. e.g. Fergie gets blamed for introducing Epstein to Andrew & also gets blamed for all the Meghan slurs
So it's very convenient to let Fergie believe she's back in with a chance of rejoining the RF.

I like what Kate is wearing today, it really suits her (though not something I would wear myself.)
Kate has the most beautiful smile & a very expressive face. I think she'd great as a celebrity judge on *Bake Off' or whatever it's called. Though I know that's unlikely to happen.

That blind gave me a headache- I had to read it about 5 times. I thought Anne at first as I don’t think there have been rumours about Sophie? I can see Andrew throwing both Sarah & Meghan to the wolves to save himself.

Fergie is expendable. They'll definitely throw her to the wolves if necessary.
I can see her being the source of MM leaks, especially after the pregnancy being speculated at Eugenie's wedding.
I'm sad for Kate. She's a better actress than I thought.
Surely we can't have another unhappy Prince & Princess of Wales.

No I don’t think Andrew can make it go away, it’s too big . why would the RF sacrifice that much for his sake? It’s his own doing after all.

Or maybe Kate just loves him. I know several women who’ve stayed with or gone back to their straying husbands. Some because of culture, others love & others because of lifestyle...

I normally don't comment on meh outfits but that is horrid especially the shoes

The shoes are truly dreadful
