Royal Style - more tiaras please for 2021 (maybe no more crocs)

[Maireas]

Hello - let's hope we get a bit more glamour this year and fingers crossed for some tiara watching....

Prince Louis's fiancé does look a lot like Tessy, I agree @paradyning.

I missed the ITV wedding retrospective yesterday but might try to watch it on catch up. Uncle Gary certainly is a loose cannon.

lady apparently Carole had called him when Catherine had got engaged. He was meant to be sworn to secrecy but told everyone he was in a meeting with. What a prize idiot (if it's true).

On keeping with the style and beauty theme I'd forgotten how slinky her old Issa dresses were.

Prince Phillip has died aged 99. I’m sad he didn’t see the century.

Prince Phillip has passed away this morning, obviously not unexpected but a hard day for HM and the rest of the family. He certainly had good innings!

RIP

Sad Prince Philip didn't make 100 and I'm sure they are devastated like any family. I wonder what will happen now. Under normal circumstances I assume it would have been a full state funeral. Anyone think Harry will come home (without Megs and Archie presumably)?

Sky news are saying he didn't wish for a state funeral so it will most likely be a royal ceremonial funeral. I'm assuming the family knew this was coming so I do wonder whether Harry could already be over here, I'm sure he will attend the funeral.

Very sad for the family.

Oh gosh, I feel really sad for HMQ and the whole family.

I knew something was up when they started playing the national anthem in Greggs! It's such a shame he didn't make it to 100, but what an interesting life he led. Whatever plans may be in place, I think it's vital that the family don't have a funeral that breaks covid regulations, they need to lead by example.

So sad that he didn't make it to 100.

They were a very dashing couple in their younger years.

So sad for Lilibet as Philip was her right arm & the love of her life.
Sad for the rest of the family too.
I hope he passed peacefully & wasn't in pain.

I, too, hoped that he would make it to 100. RIP Prince Philip.

How sad for the Queen. I watched the programme about the Queen and Prince Philip on tv last night. It was fascinating to watch what seemed like another world in many ways because so much of the footage is so many decades old.

Lilibet will feel lonely now, that's a long time to be married, and a long time to be a royal consort. He didn't want a massive funeral.

Delurking to say rip. Feel very sad for the queen.

😟 sad news for the Royals today. Such a shame he didn't make it to 100 and receive a telegram off HM.

May Phillip rest in peace.
His early years must have been very tough.
He did his job well as Consort.

RIP Philip.
I always had a soft spot for Phil, even though his outspoken sense of humour could sometimes get him into hot water.

I met him during his carriage driving days, he was so charming.

Recently, I came across photos of his stag night, he was devastatingly handsome, no wonder Liz fell for him hook, line and sinker!

A very dislocated childhood. He wasn't accepted straight away as Elizabeth's fiancé because he was such an outsider. Also, the issue of who his sisters were married to, so soon after the war.

Good job he doesn't want a massive funeral as it's needs to be limited to 30 like the rest of us

How will they decide the 30 I wonder?

@AdaColeman I suppose it is ok to let you all into a little secret now.
My late great Uncle used to work with Philip in the early days (50s/60s) & always said he was a great boss, very down to earth & very funny.

Lovely and generous tribute from the Obamas. A reflection of what intelligent and sensitive people they are.
That's a great connection, @TracyBeakerSoYeah!!
