New thread for royal style and beauty fans.
Keep up the interesting, witty and wry observations!

@TangledWebOfDeception - I can't seem to pm you with that user name, could you please message me with a link? Thanks

And @Maireas if you ever decide you want to venture into another space, I'll defer to you as keeper of these threads. I've taken the baton sceptre and orb, actually! in your absence.💐

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/03/2023 12:32

Sure! happy X post! Will PM you now.

Maireas · 05/03/2023 12:32

@SqueakyDinosaur - sorry, I missed that you had selected the Russian Nuptial tiara ✔️
Enjoy!

BTW I've found somewhere to go for those who no longer feel at home here or that their values no longer broadly align with those of the MN brand. Anyone who asked for a PM would you mind awfully to let me know again - don't want to PM anyone who hasn't asked for it. I've started a Royal thread over there, and already seen one of us there...which made me happy and sad at the same time. I'll miss you all and this lovely space/our interesting, funny and wry discussions and commentary. You've all been great to hang out with! 💐

I'm staying on MN for a little longer for various reasons but ultimately I'm going to de-register.

Is it a site that begins with an F? I can't find a royal style thread.

KillingMeDeftly · 05/03/2023 12:41

Ah, found it

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/03/2023 12:46

Yes it is and it's in chat! I've a different username over there to the one(s) i usually use here.

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/03/2023 13:11

I'm off out for the day so will answer any further PMs later. Hope you all have a lovely Sunday.

LadyEloise1 · 05/03/2023 13:15

@TangledWebOfDeception
Can you PM the name of the other place, please.

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/03/2023 13:17

Are we happy to let other users on this thread who know of it PM as well? That way you'll likely get yours quicker.

I always thought Sarah had fabulous hair and a fun personality. She was much maligned at the time.

eggandonion · 05/03/2023 16:09

If the Yorks had stayed more together than had the relationship they developed, life might have been easier. Although I don't think Royal Lodge would be my favourite residence. I want Highgrove.

justasking111 · 05/03/2023 16:32

I've always thought royal lodge was a blott on the landscape. We have art Deco houses around here which we've always called ice cream blocks. Royal lodge is an enormous version of that.

It's a flat roofed, damp ridden white elephant. I'd be skipping out of the front door if I was Sarah.

CliffsofMohair · 05/03/2023 17:09

She might not have many places to skip off to. Or means to fund anywhere. She’s in an odd situation.

She was unlucky to get caught with her lover and end up splashed across the tabloids. I suspect that a blind eye would've been turned had that not happened.

I think she's essentially a kind woman but perhaps not that bright as she's shown some pretty poor judgement in the years since her divorce.

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/03/2023 17:46

Hiya all, just sent PMs.

Her daughters have bought her a house in London. They must love her very much

DuchessOfPort · 05/03/2023 17:50

The tabloid exposé must have been just excruciating. A) it was months after her separation so not like she and Andrew were together and B) the poor old bird was staying at Balmoral at the time. Can you bloody imagine breakfast?

QueryA · 05/03/2023 18:37

That is a horrible coat that Sarah is wearing in that link 😮

grand duchess Maria Theresa out in Luxemberg in a animal print coat. It’s better than Sarah’s monstrosity above but not sure I like it

Not liking that animal print either. The duchess is too petite for that pattern in a blazer

ChicoryDip · 05/03/2023 18:52

@TangledWebOfDeception would you mind sending me the link as well please? 👑

TangledWebOfDeception · 05/03/2023 18:57

Done!

KillingMeDeftly · 05/03/2023 19:01

There's been quite a scandal about GDMT in Luxembourg - allegations of bullying and even throwing shoes at staff! I don't think the way they treated Tessy was very nice either. She's happily (presumably) remarried now and her ex was engaged again but they've since split up.

CliffsofMohair · 05/03/2023 19:54

new fiancée might have had a lucky escape? Tessy has certainly publicly maintained a warm relationship with her ex husband.

KillingMeDeftly · 05/03/2023 20:05

Almost too warm I thought, the photos from her youngest son's christening were a bit weird!
