Thanks Eau, and to you.

Happy Christmas RSB friends! Thanks for another year of fun, frivolity and cheering chat. Xmas Smile

Merry Christmas everyone. Hoping for less madness all round next year.

Gooseysgirl · 24/12/2021 20:00

Seriously impressed with Kate's piano-playing at her Westminster Abbey gig!

Re. HM's jugs... I recommend a Triumph Doreen

Bra interventions all around for the royals in the new year!

I'm late to the tiara party but hopefully no one else has the Belgian Nine Provinces tiara?

It has three different formats - base, base plus lozenges and base with lozenges and 100 carats of solitaires in the lozenges. I think tomorrow I will go full on big gun with the 100 carats!

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone! 🎄🎄

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 24/12/2021 20:55

Good on Kate, the short video I saw showed just the same notes repeatedly but not easy to get up there and do that with the world watching. Fair play to her. Happy Christmas all! I hope my Christmas day outfit is up to scratch!!

GrouchyKiwi · 24/12/2021 21:08

Her piano part started off simple, but got a little more complex towards the end. I'd have stumbled so many times playing that, you need a steady hand!

Merry Christmas to you all. Thanks for a lovely thread.

justasking111 · 24/12/2021 21:17

Don't forget to rattle your jewellery tomorrow. Lots of bling

Merry Christmas all 🎅⛄🌲

KillingMeDeftly · 24/12/2021 21:40

I wonder if she learned to play as a child or took it up in adulthood? I assume she didn't learn just for this occasion!

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 24/12/2021 21:47

She learned as a child, her teacher wa interviewed before she married and said she was never going to be a concert pianist but was good Grin

frugalkitty · 24/12/2021 22:11

We celebrate today so I'm stuffed (too much Christmas dinner) and squiffy (too much champagne) so I'm currently sporting my Spencer tiara on the wonk complete with pjs and fake ugg boots. Classy.

Merry Christmas to you all, I do enjoy our threads, what a lovely bunch of slightly bonkers people we are. I Hope that wherever you are, and how ever you celebrate that your Christmas is a good one. May your tiaras ever shine bright!

Hels20 · 24/12/2021 22:28

Thought the carol concert was a lovely idea. And it’s nice to see some of the other royals - and Kate’s family support her. I get so nervous playing the piano in front of an audience - so we’ll done to her. It was a nice personal touch.

Hels20 · 24/12/2021 22:29

And I always think her and Sophie look like they genuinely get on.

And have to say the Belgian Nine Provinces Tiara is beautiful. Wish I had bagsed it.

What a lovely thread this is.

latedecember1963 · 24/12/2021 22:34

We celebrate today too, Frugalkitty, and we've just waved off my DS1 and DiL as they trundle off into a wet rather than snowy Christmas Eve night. I rather like the sound of Christmas Eve in Finland described earlier as well.
I love these threads and agree they are a bit of light relief as well as educational. Merry Christmas everyone (and to our founder Queenoftheandals ).🎄⛄😘

Balloondog · 24/12/2021 22:46

Merry Christmas to all - I so enjoy the light relief from these threads.
The carol service was lovely and the piano playing fantastic - how brave! But I felt the coat looked like it would have been uncomfortable to play in, I think I'd have chosen something more relaxed or simply taken the coat off and played in the dress underneath.
Oh and HMQ looks great with the red lip!

Northernlurker · 24/12/2021 22:54

Love the piano playing. I think the royal family are so lucky to have her, she's very sweet and bright as a button.

frugalkitty · 24/12/2021 23:37

latedecember my DH works for a Finnish company, his boss sent him a photo of his car today with about a foot of snow on top of it! We had drizzle down here but we did get a dry patch for a walk on the beach at lunchtime.

gluenotsoup · 25/12/2021 00:01

We had a lovely Christmas break in Finland, came home at the weekend, just a day and half before I ended up in hospital with dd, we see home now just in time for Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas to you all, this is the nicest place on mn, my escapist home.
Here is a photo of Finland, we might not get a white Christmas so here is a virtual one for you all, a couple of hundred km north of the Arctic circle.

Merry Christmas to all the posters on the thread - from a long-time lurker who is very grateful for this small oasis of sparkle. A toast to you all 🥂👑

Tinitiny · 25/12/2021 06:50

Merry Christmas to you all!
Don’t forget your tiaras 👸🏻, I shall be dusting off the (starter) Fleur de Lis to go with PJs and mimosas 😆

paradyning · 25/12/2021 08:15

Happy Christmas fellow bobblehats!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I was wearing my Poltimore tiara earlier, but unfortunately it fell off whilst I was in the bath. I’ve got it dripping dry in the plate rack now, so I’m hoping it will be alright to wear by lunchtime.
