I think it's just that they are wearing shirt numbers 9 and 6 (their ages?) so if they were the other way round it would read 6 9 rather than 9 6. Which apparently nobody can see without giggling 🙄

Oh thank you. Normally I can spot a smutty reference a mile off.

I didn't realise those were their ages. I just thought Charlotte was a Kane fan!

I just thought it was because of the madness around the place photo of the children and William which only showed them from the back.

I mean that too. Who would have thought a photo of two kiddos watching the footie could have so many meanings!

Lady Davina with her daughter Senna Kowhai.

Slightly useless information, but Senna was the female highest in the line of succession already born who benefitted (for want of a better phrase) from the change from male primogeniture. She was originally placed behind her younger brother, Tane, when he was born in 2012, but the change saw them switch place into age order.

Their cousins, the Gilman’s, also swapped to age order, but Senna and Tane are higher in the line of succession.

Sweet moments for Catherine at the tennis with her family.

Yes, I thought it was because we were being shown the back view of their heads. In fact, now I come to think about it, I'm not sure that that is Louis...........

It’s not my first post on this thread, I think it’s my fourth. Having said that you shouldn’t be stalking me, it’s against the rules.

It’s just so tiresome to read the bickering posts. @AliceOlive, a word of advice, just step away. Bullies enjoy seeing you upset.

Just catching up.
I hope you won't think I'm "stalking" you, Dhruinseeses, if I say your posts have stuck in my mind.
Partly because of your interesting name but also because all your posts seemed to do with Kate's weight:
She's "painfully thin, it's worrying"
You're old enough to be her mother and would like to feed her up with home-cooked food
She needs "more meat on her bones so she has something in reserve"

No idea that chemotherapy can make it very difficult to eat, however home-cooked and delicious the food is. Tbf, I suspect TRF is capable of finding someone who could rustle up something nice for her. Maybe her own mother is helping with that.
How is she supposed to get "more meat on her bones" in current circumstances? She's always been slim. Or should we all try to stay overweight in case we get cancer and need "something in reserve"?

Banging on about the unsurprising fact that someone with cancer and who is having chemotherapy looks thin is tedious too, imo.

PrincessMee · 16/07/2024 08:44

Tedious and distasteful !

upinaballoon · 16/07/2024 08:47

Mytattooisbiggerthanyours · 15/07/2024 23:40

I was taking the mickey out of all the fault-finding that was aimed at the other photos they've put out since the spring.

StormzyinaTCup · 16/07/2024 08:47

@LumiB when your only interest in a thread is the targeting of a specific poster, it's not a good look. Just saying.

I do hope the Waleses enjoy a lovely family summer holiday.

Oh I'm sure they will.

SentebalesChair · 16/07/2024 09:26

I often think to myself that ‘as a mother posts’ do not automatically absolve you when you say something cunty.

Even though some think it does.

It doesn’t mean it isn’t nasty pish even if folk insist it comes from a good place.

It doesn’t.

And worse, thinking they’ve fooled folk into thinking they are sincere.

Nope.

We don’t button up the back.

PrincessMee · 16/07/2024 10:29

I agree @SentebalesChair . Oh as a woman, mother, feminist blah blah - it's all disguise for saying the nastiest things. I do prefer your turn of phrase though.

I caught that, too. Then the helpful advice basically telling me to shut up and put up with personal attacks. I didn’t think “oh, a kind new helpful poster has come along.”

Or not "this" as it turns out.

A lovely article in Elle this week.
“The Standing Ovation For Kate Middleton At Wimbledon Spoke a Thousand Words”.

It’s a shame these journalists insist on still calling her Kate Middleton though!

StiffyByngsDogBartholomew · 17/07/2024 14:44

Very nice piece. Shame they couldn't get the court number right though. Does nobody fact check anything any more ?

ARichtGoodDram · 17/07/2024 15:01

A lot of places seem to make errors with Wimbledon and the fact that what they’d call the number one court/main court in the venue and the actual number one court are two different things.

96 could also mean 1996, the year of the Euros were held in England, and when the "Football's Coming Home" song was released by the Lightening Seeds/Baddeil & Skinner. By the time the next big tournament rolls up, it will be 60 years of hurt 😢

TheFirmBiscuit · 17/07/2024 15:30

It appears the ratings for the ESPYs vastly outstripped those for the men's final. I'll take that as it "didnt break the internet" as some had predicted. As the Wales 3 month well earned summer holidays will no doubt have begun it will left to H&M to make the summer hay whilst the sun still shines.

SentebalesChair · 17/07/2024 15:35

Of course they’ll be busy.

Fucking jam season innit.

Ratings from where?
