Is it a device for the family's good name?

Sorry, sorry - wrong crowd, poor taste etc etc.

I'll see myself out for a bit though I just couldn't resist.

DevonUkelele · 26/11/2019 20:31

Gah - damn you auto correct,

That should have been "was it a service for the family's good name?"...

I honestly wish they would all vanish for a time, Fergie gurning yet again. Just go away lie low and give it time to settle.

queenofarles · 26/11/2019 20:48

Yes they are Tesco’s ones, not sure about the tasting, it was reported as "an effort to tighten the purse strings"
I never liked Christmas puddings 😝 , god knows I tried to like them , but it’s one of those British things I could never get accustomed to,

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/11/2019 20:52

I'm not a fan either, nor of Christmas cake. Brandy butter on the other hand...Grin

Well this year Aldi has won the taste test award for the best christmas pudding, so maybe the Queen will choose them this year.

There's talk of Charles reforming "The Way Ahead Group" a royal think tank in the 1990s, now to be relaunched as "The Way Back Group"! Wink Wink

Pitch@Palace will be renamed Pitch@BehindBikeSheds.

Kate's at the state dinner next week. With Chas and Cam.

AdaColeman · 26/11/2019 21:24

Allegedly of course!

For all you lovely ladies interested in jewellery. New book has been published about the history of Cartier written by one of the family. Looks very interesting.

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/11/2019 21:37

I haven't been impressed with Kate's last few state dinner looks. The ice blue ruched horror from last year Confused

State dinner? Who's visiting?

AdaColeman · 26/11/2019 22:30

Is that the NATO Reception?

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/11/2019 22:30

Ah, it's not a state dinner it's a reception to mark 70 years of NATO. William will be overseas but Kate is attending. Though given Trump will be there maybe there'll be another emergency with the children!

One can only hope there is (though nothing too major)

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/11/2019 22:36

Meanwhile the Sun thinks it knows what the Cambridge kids and Archie will look like as adults. I quite like the Lisbeth Salander thing Charlotte's got going on but grown up George is terrifying!

Kate should give Nanny Maria the night of & Louis can conveniently have a temperature & be extremely clingy whilst only wanting his Mum.

AppleKatie · 26/11/2019 22:39

Grown up royal children are weirdly attractive Meghan and Kate may have brought rather more to the table than some traditionalists felt they had 😂

AdaColeman · 26/11/2019 22:41

All the European royals and heads of state will be there, Kate would be silly to pass on it, think of the photo opportunities for posterity! Wink

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 27/11/2019 05:08

Thé NATO reception sounds awesome. I hope all thé European queens and Princesses are wearing Tiaras.
I’d love it if Kate was allowed te wear a new one ( Angela Kelly, if you’re reading this, please let Kate borrow a fabulous, long hidden tiara!)

WineOrGinOrBoth · 27/11/2019 07:05

I’m looking forward to seeing all those lovely royal 👑 👗

That Sun article was a bit odd. George looked like a Ken doll IMO.

BeatriceTheBeast · 27/11/2019 07:29

The Sun article George will haunt my dreams! Poor George. And why did they put Louis in a cravat Confused? Bloody tabloids. Get a real job.

StCharlotte · 27/11/2019 07:49

See, I already think George is terrifying interesting looking. But how fab if Charlotte turned out like that!

QueenOfTheAndals · 27/11/2019 07:53

If they wanted to know what George will look like then all they need to do is look at Pa Middleton!
