Royal style: Cambridges appear but Sussexes aren't near

[QueenOfTheAndals]

In light of the several upcoming engagements for W&K while H&M allegedly take a 6 week break!

Previous thread

Its been confirmed on Sky M& H arent going to Sandringham for Christmas

Most upper class types are taught to dance as part of general social skills. The Army Officers I know here in Scotland are all proficient at reeling, and can do lots of different dances.

Just changing the subject for a moment.... here is PW today in another absolutely fetching fleece

Who's betting the DoC did not have the opportunity to cast her eye over this ensemble this morning before he left the house because surely she would not allow him to leave the house in that?

'William, it is ghastly! Put something decent on for heavens sake, you're going to be King one day!'

Sorry YRH!

(Previous regular who hasn't posted for a while and who has name changed here, hello everyone!)

There's no photo included @slippyfeet

Yes, show us the fleece !!!

@BeatriceTheBeast - polishing my halo

@thisenglishlife - thank you. I’ll look it up. It always strikes at times of stress. I’m always stressed when I go away at Christmas time

I see the photo! I'll try again...

Did it work this time?

I don't think it's a fleece actually- isn't it just a knitted jumper with a zip?

Oh I saw that fleece on IG, he's not exactly made much effort has he?

Jaime that would be telling! But, no

Most upper class types are taught to dance as part of general social skills. The Army Officers I know here in Scotland are all proficient at reeling, and can do lots of different dances.

In Scotland, even comprehensive school plebs learn the dread 'social dancing' - which is the basic ceilidh dances, so Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sargeant, Strip the Willow etc. We all know how to dance in bonny Scotland (and give us a few drinks & there's no stopping us).

Is it Ralph Lauren. Be fair he is promoting centre point a charity for the homeless, what should he wear to appear relevant?

I wonder if he deliberately dressed down given it's Centrepoint?

It's probably cashmere, just looks like a fleece because of the zip.

Do they really dance reels after Christmas dinner in sandringham???

I think I found William's jumper. It's not a fleece!

Right I have a mild derail. Bought the Anne Glenconner book. Raced through it. It was interesting, funny and informative but I'm also horrified at just how much money these people have and how hilarious they think things are re natives dressing up ha ha etc etc. Anyway, was going to bung it in the charity shop but given it still looks new (hardback) does anyone on this lovely thread want it (free p&p) as I suspect you lot might have more interest? First person to pm with polite request gets it for Xmas :). It IS kindness day after all.

its Merino , the other twitter pics are clearer.

Did Diana take her boys to this particular charity? Or another one?

I've pm-ed you Tipsy

Buckingham Palace have confirmed that H&M are going stateside for six weeks and spending Christmas with Doria.

I was just about to post the statement. Nothing about recharging batteries in it and it doesn't even say that they'll be in the US for the whole time, just Xmas.

Well hopefully that statement will make the media shut up, the Queen has spoken. The DM headline is laughable.

"Meghan and Harry`s Christmas in exile. " Give me strength.

I wouldn't mind being "exiled" to sunny California this Christmas...

It looks like a lovely area, low crime rate, nice homes and best of all sunshine, oh how I could do with some of that now.

Frugalkitty was super fast and gets the book, glad it's going to a good home. Love these threads 😊

@TipseyTorvey I've just finished reading the book. It was a great read and she's had an amazing life but what really struck me is that the life the royals and aristocracy live is world's away from ordinary folk the amount of money is just incredible.
