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!

Unless the Queen is doing that passive aggressive thing I read about on MN of insisting on calling her GC the wrong version of her name 😂.

That Instagram post of Fergie's is really 🤢. Apart from the content, her writing style is dreadful - so flowery and full of cheesy mixed metaphors!

@Wildorchidz have you seen clips from the doc? Fergie needs her head read!

Theresa summary of the interview on the BBC website - apparently Andrew describes himself as "honourable"

His words seem carefully-chosen & unfortunate, to say the least.

I cannot fathom why he has done this interview now (although there could be reasons we don't know about).

Just watched a couple of clips from the interview. I cannot believe he is claiming he doesn't remember Virginia Roberts!

Of course he is! If he remembers he’s culpable.

I can’t bear discussing him tbh.

So.... Kate cooking with Mary Berry? When?

Yes - just looked it up - not sure when it will be aired but she's the guest of honour on Mary's Christmas Special! Apparently they will be preparing a feast for charity workers.

i love the video but Eugenie couldnt keep up, wonder where she landed up

Fuck me that Insta post from SF is awful. And those pictures of him in uniform to reinforce the service and honour thing. Ick.

Apparently Andrew’s defence is that he’s ‘too honourable’. Is anyone else reminded of a terrible answer to the ‘what is your biggest weakness’ question at a job interview...?

I was just going to say that, @spudlet!

Andrew interview in the Guardian.

Or rather, an article about tonight's interview. He hasn't been interviewed by the Guardian!

I go back to my three C’s: Communicate. Compromise. Compassion.

what an odd quote ,she's talking about how Edward stands firm for his principles but is stressing compromise as a guiding value to live one's life by .

she sounds besotted with him ,I presume it's not reciprocated .

He’s vile. How he and Fergie managed to produce 2 seemingly morally sound daughters is a mystery. One heads up an anti-slavery charity for God’s sake.

I disagree that nobody is interested in the lower profile royals. They don’t need to be making the nine o’clock news to have impact. I’d argue the local impact they make is more important in raising the profile of a charity or service. One service I was involved in a couple of years ago was visited by Edward. People who had never heard of our charity or not affected by the condition were very interested in rubbernecking watching him arrive, shake hands etc. It has raised the local profile of the charity and we see it through increased donations, volunteerism etc. People love getting their pic in their local paper with a minor royal

I've always liked Fergie as, despite her faults, she comes across as a warm and kind-hearted woman. But I think she's gone too far here - she sounds deranged and desperate. And Andrew's denial sounds a load of BS. (I also couldn't help noticing that looks-wise, he's rapidly morphing into Peter Hitchens)

That SF insta post makes it sound like she’s been on the

Important to remember that Meghan wore false eyelashes on Remembrance Sunday and posted an inspiring quotation on Instagram, though.....

Detailed and fairly fact-based article on Meghan's case against the Mail. It also covers allegations other than the letter to her father, such as Samantha Cohen's departure and claims about the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage.

Interestingly the Mail is running an "exclusive" on Kate's private secretary leaving today but it's painted very much as an "amicable split" of course 🙄

quite

😂😂🤔🤔

@QueenOfTheAndals - that article’s really interesting. They must be incredibly sure of their ground to be so bullish, mustn’t they? I do hope the Mail doesn’t settle...Much more fun if they don’t!

@BertrandRussell I also can't help but wonder what the press reaction would've been it was Meghan rather than Kate doing a cooking show with Mary Berry!

I must admit I prefer it when we stick to fashion on this thread. But.... my understanding, from various sources and many rumours is that Prince Andrew isn't interested in girls of any age.....it's supposed to be why he and Fergie divorced but still get on so well.

Or here's an idea - what about Kate vs Meghan in A Right Royal Bake-off???
