Tour itinerary

As always, let's critique the clothes and not the wearers.

Nobody does hats as well as her Maj. Such a shame about her shoes.

@derxa- that “cutting “ of my post is Daily Mail worthy.

Nobody could do the rolling of eyes or the Bored Bored Bored look as brilliantly as Diana!

Serena who?

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/09/2019 18:13

Yes that is Serena Snowdon @paradyning. You'd think the DM would wonder why Autumn was attending church with HM, Lord S and his two children!

Not like the DM to make mistakes.

Anne couldn't get over herself enough to see if cracking a smile and being friendly might earn more donations for her charities.

That documentary was a really strange attempt to portray a gratuitously rude, graceless person in a positive light.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/09/2019 21:20

I've heard the term "doesn't suffer fools gladly" be used for both Anne and her father. But that's usually a polite way of saying "rude"!

@QueenOfTheAndals. Yes it was around the time his wedding to Camilla was announced or their engagement or something similar so definitely older than 17!

I agree they are all acting most of the time it's part of the job Some are just better than others I think.

Oops I missed this last page Blush
That was in response to the comment about Charles and Nicholas Witchell.

Long time poster who disappears sometimes because I run out of time and/or the phone app is so crap!! No Irish officially but pretty likely there's some Irish on my Dad's side. Have never been to Ireland though. It's been on my list for the entire time I've lived here and its embarrassing that I haven't made it yet.

My parents live quite close to the post office Meghan visited. They were sad they hadn't seen or suspected a thing! (it's cape town so believe me, usually info spreads like wildfire within neighbourhoods and communities).

A friend sent me a link to SA paper. She says people a bit bemused by the visit. They are more concerned with the banks retrenching and pending strikes. It is a light hearted temporary distraction.

@justasking111 I think a lot of royal tours serve as distractions these days. I was especially cynical when the Cambridges made a sudden trip to Northern Ireland at the time talk about Brexit and the backstop was at its peak.

I know they're sometimes accused of being a bit too 'tartan-tastic' in Scotland but I love this picture of Camilla and Charles today.
