I have mentioned having Corgis on other threads (there have been several through the years), but I guess I haven't mentioned it on these.
We call her Meg. Guess what that's short for? Smile

Check out HM's emerald brooch!

Where are ppl seeing Sophie's trousers?

And thank you for hand crafting the sparkly Christmassy thread . Is it ivy I can smell or pine ?

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/12/2019 15:36

Trousers or another jumpsuit? AFAIK Sophie and Meghan are the only royals to try a jumpsuit in public.

Not sure about a jumpsuit in winter. Imagine shimmying it all off to use the toilet 😬.

@SenecaFalls are you a secret royal Seneca? Corgis you say???!!! Distant relation to the Firm?

QueenOfTheAndals · 22/12/2019 15:55

@megletthesecond my friend wore the infamous Fleabag jumpsuit to her office Christmas party. It required a fair amount of double sided tape to keep it in place so going to the loo was doubly difficult!

Clever ‘merching’ by the Queen. All those crown and corgi Christmas tree decorations are available in the Historic Royal Palaces shops.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the new thread Queen Crown Smile

mum the tower of London gift shop sells amazing royal Xmas baubles. I particularly wanted the Henry VIII and his six wives set. Not at £50 though!

TipseyTorvey · 22/12/2019 16:47

Thanks Queen for the Christmas thread! Is this the final one of 2019 I wonder?

SandInTheSandwiches · 22/12/2019 17:05

Hello, delurking Blush to say Merry Christmas and thanks for these threads, they are fab.

So here are my contributions, QE with the late HH Sheikh Zayed of the UAE, (a great visionary ahead of his time, fondly known as the father of the UAE). QE visited the UAE in 1979 when the country was only 8 years old.

Love Sophie's outfit. Smart & modern

Given the pr trajectory which the RF are following; I'm pretty sure there will be Charlotte & George on the walk to Church.
Will distract from the lack of Sussexes and if Andrew appears, a middle aged man in an overcoat is much less photogenic than the cute Cambridges.

For those who were debating "obvious pr" I would say that most members of republic do not overly analyse.

Three little words, hammered home over weeks swept the current pm to victory.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 22/12/2019 17:55

That was supposed to be the public not republic(Freudian slip)!

They’re just reinforcing the brand; started at George’s christening and continuing at the queen’s 90th birthday

Belatedly checking in. Thanks as ever for our new thread Queen.

I seem to have fallen hideously behind - missed the last bit of the last thread completely. Damned Christmas preparations getting in the way of my MNetting! Looking forward to the church outfits on Wednesday.

I love your sweet corgi Seneca!

hopeishere · 22/12/2019 19:37

Sophie's coat is the wrong length for the trousers. A shorter one would be better.

cheezy · 22/12/2019 19:42

Neither of them are wearing seatbelts in that photo!

SunshineCake · 22/12/2019 19:51

SenecaFalls your dog is adorable.

I know there is a lot of knowledge on these threads so I thought I'd ask you lot. I'd love to read a book on Queen Victoria as I have been enjoying the series with Jenna Coleman iirc but the books I've seen are expensive so I need to make sure I pick well. Amazon has ratings but I would rather go in real people recommendation . Thank you.

DuchessofWoke · 22/12/2019 19:53

I read on another website that the big announcement MAY be that Kate is planning to study for a degree in childhood development or similar, to increase her knowledge of her charities’ work.

Just someone’s guess but seems a decent one.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 22/12/2019 19:55

@SunshineCake

I found grandmother of Europe by Theo Aronson on QV fascinating

percheron67 · 22/12/2019 19:55

I adore Sophie Wessex. I imagine that she is such a stay and comfort to HM. She looks full of fun but dependable too. My favourite Royal (after HM)

Gooseysgirl · 22/12/2019 19:58

For the love of God they need to stop putting George in those ridiculous shirts... my 6 yr old DS would need serious bribing before he'd wear it!!!
