With tiaras galore! Thanks for the title, @Eaumyword.
Looking for @TracyBeakerSoYeah for the link!

I think you have a good point there, @CliffsofMohair.
The back of Kitty's dress is amazing! It's a work of art. That is a cathedral dress, really.

Apart from the ex & I'll leave it there.
There is something about Fergie that you just can't help liking. Everyone says that's she's a loyal friend but a bit too gullible for her own good.
She's done a great job with raising B & E.
I get the idea that with Fergie in your corner you get that almost unconditional belief in you & that she's got your back.
Although I think her trying to see the good in everyone is also her biggest weakness as well as strength?

The best photo in the Fergie thing is the one with B & E.

Hi everyone, please ignore and don't quote my above post, I've asked for it to be removed because it's negative and not in the spirit of this thread. Sorry.

I loved all of Kitty's dresses - truly stunning!

Well, Lady Kitty certainly hasn't disappointed us in the style and glamour stakes! Her younger sister Amelia is engaged, so I wonder what sort of wedding that will be?

Thank you for the new thread!
The photo of the back of Kitty's dress is breathtaking. I wondered if the ladies standing on the right of the photo were the lacemakers or perhaps they're D and G staff there to arrange the dresses fir the photos. They all seem to have glives on.

latedecember1963 · 27/07/2021 08:52

Gloves, not glives.

latedecember1963 · 27/07/2021 08:54

I've been on these threads too long, my inner 1950s clipped posh accent is emerging. 😂

KillingMeDeftly · 27/07/2021 08:57

D&G were in trouble for several years for racist advertising and making dodgy comments on gay parents but perhaps they are now trying to redeem themselves. Clearly it doesn't matter to Kitty and her friends! I wonder if the guests got the clothes for free?

😂😂😂 let's all say "glives"!

Brilliant! Nothing wrong with a bit of RP, except the real princes these days seem to go for an Estuary accent!
My DS used to speak beautifully, but got mercilessly teased at secondary. He now sounds like a mockney Ray Winstone. We're from rural Lincolnshire Hmm
It does seem as if D&G 'sponsored' the wedding with clothes! I'm just jealous, but if I was a guest, I'm sure they would have sniffed and said nothing in your size, dear Grin

Maireas · 27/07/2021 11:19

I'm not laughing at your son, Eaumyword, but the mockney Ray Winstone in Lincolnshire really made me laugh!
Old Queen Mary retained some German pronunciations, according to biographers.
I was just thinking that little Archie and Lilibet will sound very Californian in a few years!

Eaumyword · 27/07/2021 11:44

Grin We love a bit of Ray in the Eau household! Just a bit odd coming from a previously well spoken boy but there you go!
You're right and I'm guessing Harry will sound American too in time. My friend has lived in the USA for 10 years now and sounds very American to our British ears!
So Amelia Spencer is next to marry. She is equally stunning, but I suspect might be more low key insofar as society weddings ever are.
Google says she has been with her boyfriend for 11yrs. The ring is beautiful but not crazy £££ like Kitty's.
How are this family so damn good looking?!

Maireas · 27/07/2021 12:08

They are a very good looking family. Lucked out with the genes! The cousins are also nice looking eg Alexander Fellowes (his wedding pic) . They all have good hair, as did Diana.

OP posts:
KillingMeDeftly · 27/07/2021 12:56

I believe it was one of the others cousin's weddings that provided the impetus for these threads. She wore the Spencer tiara and had short blonde hair like Diana, although she looked more like Claire Balding.

Maireas · 27/07/2021 13:51

Do we need another picture of Maxima in a tiara? I think so. This is from the recent trip to Berlin. The Stuart tiara plus extra bling!

How are the family so good looking you ask Eaumyword.
Wasn't their Mum, Victoria a model back in the day and Charles Spencer was handsome(ish) though he's gone a bit portly.
I hope the Spencer children are happy, despite their wealth and prestige it can't have been easy growing up in a household where there were supposedly addiction issues and a philandering dad.
