It's very much like Gordonstoun, though. Plenty of British Royal alumni!

[quote Haggisfish3]This has more info about the school. www.insider.com/inside-welsh-school-teaching-royals-future-leaders-uwc-atlantic-2021-3[/quote]
Really interesting article 👍🏼

The Mail called it 'Hippie Hogwarts' which I rather like the sound of!

In a change of subject, new ‘Tiara of the Month’
I do like an emerald and diamond combo 😍

Stunning!

Maireas · 02/09/2021 09:21

That is a beautiful tiara.

Wow! Although I'm sure poor Marie-Therese would've rather forgone the tiara and kept her family instead.

Interesting that it was allegedly bought by Lord Lambton. I think he's married to Rose "turnip toff" Hanbury's sister.

Maireas · 02/09/2021 10:41

That is interesting, Deftly.
If I were Rose, I'd be wearing it a lot!

Maireas · 02/09/2021 10:41

Sorry, Rose's sister. Or even Rose, borrowed on a regular basis!

Delurking to say we used to send students from our totally ordinary high school to summer schools at Atlantic College. They loved it, as did staff accompanying them.

I went down a Google rabbit hole of Marie Antoinette and Marie Therese - thanks Tinitiny Grin

😆 same here! Fascinating stuff!

Yes, also fascinating that he bought it from the V and A. Didn't realise they sold their contents!

KillingMeDeftly · 03/09/2021 18:22

The trailer for the had landed. Not sure it gives away much.

KillingMeDeftly · 03/09/2021 18:23

I'm not sure KS looks as much like Diana as she does Naomi Watts playing Diana!

Eaumyword · 03/09/2021 19:39

I thought Naomi Watts really looked like Diana.

Link to clip of Albert in library named for him and the twins came too. Gabriella’s hair is on the mend I’m happy to report.

Haggisfish3 · 03/09/2021 21:31

Oh dear. Charlene has been in hospital after ‘complications’. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9954549/Princess-Charlene-Monaco-admitted-hospital-medical-emergency-South-Africa.html

Maxima is back! I quite like this green maxi on her. It looks like a dress Queen Rania would wear.

@Haggisfish3 Poor Charlene, something is definitely not right there.

Maireas · 03/09/2021 22:36

Thanks, Mohair, it's nice that Albert is keeping his Irish connections going.
Poor Charlene, I really hope she recovers soon, she's had a tough time.

Maireas · 03/09/2021 22:38

Beat me to it, Deftly! I saw those pictures of Maxima and thought she looked great. That green dress is gorgeous on her, very colourful but elegant. I know what you mean about Rania, there's a hint of the Arabic in the shape and style. Lovely.

Max looks fabulous as ever.
