@Maireas has anyone laid claim to this? It’s spectacular! Queen Rania’s diamond tiara

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?

I have often tried to imagine that breakfast. Younger readers may forget or not understand that in a pre internet age it's likely that the first any of the guests at Balmoral heard about it was when they opened the newspapers. There must have been a lot of spat coffee on the tablecloth and said newspapers!

Can't deny - I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall...

It occurs to me there must be footmen/household staff who actually were present witnesses, probably still alive today. It says something for their loyalty and discretion and the strength of the NDAs that as far as I'm aware none have recounted the scene.

Presumably Paul Burrell wasn't around then.

I saw on Instagram that Rania said her daughter is getting married in a week.

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

Mother’s Day declarations even more effusive - THESE ARE THE MEN WHO MADE ME A MOTHER etc. maybe there’s something in the divorce agreement about not making the ex (and Prince of Lux) look bad publicly. Who knows. I wish her well.

Wedding klaxon!

Oooh, thanks, @paradyning ...I bet there will be some bling 🤞

I wonder when the Crown Prince's wedding is? I'm sure we'll see a bigger fathering for royals at that. Both weddings are bound to have spectacular bling though - the Middle Eastern royals don't hold back!

KillingMeDeftly · 05/03/2023 21:56

Fathering for? Gathering of!

MotherofPearl · 05/03/2023 22:01

Poor Stephanie of Lux is fit to pop! I feel she should be allowed to rest now (as far as late pregnancy allows 😬) rather than have to keep going with engagements.

I agree about her MiL's jacket - awful. But I'm generally not a fan of animal print.

Thought this make you smile on a cold Monday. It's 'Kate and William' from the Krakow Wax Museum. Ever so slightly terrifying!

Jesus. 🥴

Chewbecca · 06/03/2023 13:51

Will's expression is kind of familiar!
Kate's hair would NEVER be that ratty.

iknowimcoming · 06/03/2023 14:13

Good lord at the waxworks!! William's looks like a weird amalgamation of him and Harry! I'm not even going to comment on poor Kate's!

Nope, Chicory clearly says they're Kate and William...she doesn't say Kate and William Who though. 🤣🤣

MotherofPearl · 06/03/2023 14:55

Good gracious. Those waxworks. Hmm

Maireas · 06/03/2023 15:07

That's brilliant, @ChicoryDip ! 😂
Imagine looking at those and thinking, "is that how they see me?!"

DH looked over my shoulder at them while I was laughing...he said "They've done a better job than me or you could" 🤔 Glowing praise there!

Ooh love these looks

Sorry, someone asked for Queen Rania's tiara - I've lost the post, but it's available!

If I’d have had a hand in the creation of the waxes I’d have denied it thrice like Peter.

Says me who would be doing something similar to this (like the restoration lady) if asked to paint Jesus.

Sorry if that is sounding disrespectful. The models took my puff out my lungs.

The waxworks are something else 😂😂
