Evening all! Thanks to Tracy Beaker for the new title!
Roll on some bling and style, though it may be a while!

Yes it's a bit odd isn't it!

Are the veil and train not just detachable?

KnickerlessParsons · 01/09/2024 10:17

Judging purely by the colour of his skin, there don't appear to be any of Durek's relations in the group photo.
Do we know why?

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 01/09/2024 10:26

His sister is there, and a few others. His mum and, I think, one other sister were not invited.

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 01/09/2024 10:33

A couple of close ups to show more faces more clearly.

He is estranged from his mother. From his wiki page:
In multiple interviews in 2022 and 2023, Verrett's mother described him as "ingratiating", "manipulative", "dangerous", and "prone to lying", and said she no longer has contact with him.[35][36] Also Verrett's sister Demi DeLaNuit has warned the public against her brother, and said he has threatened her, their mother and her daughter.

From a Norweigan magazine;
For the first time, shaman Durek Verrett's mother has agreed to an interview. But it's not just nice things Veruschka Urquhart, 79, has to say about her son. She warns that Durek could be dangerous to other people.

  • He manipulates you, says Urquhart to Norwegian Se og Hør.
Princess Märtha Louise's, 51, fiance shaman Durek Verrett, 48, has paid tribute to his family on several occasions. On Mother's Day 2018, he congratulated his mother Veruschka Urquhart with a long and beautiful message on Facebook. But today, Durek Verrett has no contact with his mother. According to Veruschka Urquhart, he broke off contact with her after she confronted him about how he treats other people.
  • He doesn't work for the world, he works against the world. He doesn't work for the people, he works against the people, she says to Se og Hør in March.
  • Durek will not help you find the divine light. He takes you to his own light, where he can flatter himself and manipulate you, says Urquhart.

Durek and Märtha Louise sent his mother a cease and desist letter recently, apparently.

And a closer look at little Mafalda and her christening gown.

So they are. Thank you.

Is it only me that was looking at the monogram and wondering what the connection was with a bicycle?

I think the blue picture is their son Prince Gustav Albrecht at his Christening last year whereas the pink one is Mafalda. Interesting that Carina chose an almost identical retro look for both.

Oh yes sorry, picked the wrong photo to post!

Both children wore it.

No! 😁

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 01/09/2024 13:14

Heh I probably would have, had I not already been aware of its connection to the couple's previous life together in Egypt. Wink

justasking111 · 01/09/2024 13:17

I was reading about her previous marriage and divorce, sadly her ex took his own life. It's quite complicated I think

Maireas · 01/09/2024 15:44

Lovely christening pictures - looks like the dog was invited to both!

Ah, she looks lovely, very happy.
I quite like the pink, maybe a bit much of it, but it’s pretty.
Less keen on the cumberbund , it’s not particularly flattering if you have a less than flat tum. But again, the big smile makes up for it. I don’t like any monogramming, so that’s a no from me.

Chewbecca · 01/09/2024 16:52

I really like ML’s necklace and flowers.

Choux · 01/09/2024 17:56

Little Charles in lederhosen! He was a page at his cousin Caroline's wedding.

Elisabeth of Belgium was also there presumably with her boyfriend. She looks very appropriately dressed but often wears stuff more appropriate for her mum's age. Maybe she raids her wardrobe?

🥰our thread mascot is so cute.
I think Elisabeth looks lovely.
Her boyfriend is rather dashing.
It must be difficult dating in this Internet era when you're a Queen to be. Nothing is private.

RockaLock · 01/09/2024 18:12

😘 to the thread mascot, he is still adorable.

Maireas · 01/09/2024 18:19

Charles is so cute 🥰! Elisabeth looks nice, but I think that red is a bit strong for her.

Loving the photo of Mascot #1. He looks gorgeous! 💙

MotherofPearl · 01/09/2024 21:20

I really like Elisabeth's red dress, and little Charles looks adorable!
