The royal family

Beatrice and Eugenie banned from Ascot

Beatrice and Eugenie have been banned from the royal box at Ascot and from royal events in the foreseeable future. That's according to a headline in the Daily Mail. A little part of me feels a bit sorry for them as they're not their parents. I don't like them much but they do seem to symbolise all that's wrong with the royals. Money and immense wealth and priviledge for very little return.

the derail will continue. there can't be a thread in this topic that is not about H&M.

Well you are in luck ! The derailing plopper has apparently disappeared after her attempts at stirring up both threads!

You weren't wrong 😉

In my defence I was responding to the tone taken when one of my posts was quoted.

I usually keep my snark-hound on a tight leash 🐕

🤣 I’m a big fan of your unleashed snark ! , probably because I’m never at the receiving end! 🤣

Just commenting on the post and article linked by Nighbitch - maybe take it up with them if you aren’t happy? 🤷‍♀️

Ha. I commented on mygreendress’s post about Bowers new book.

You provided the link which was the focus of my comment and which led to further 'off topic' (or for some 🥱 ) discussion. 🤷‍♀️

Did you want to add anything about B&E to get it back on track?

BillericayDickie · 21/03/2026 09:51

it will be interesting to see if they are there at Easter Church.
hopefully not.

I cannot for one minute think they would have the audacity to appear! , especially if reports are true and they are not welcome.

@IAmATorturedPoet, I think it’s best if we ignore these ploppers , otherwise we will be held accountable 🤷‍♀️

simpsonthecat · 21/03/2026 11:28

What the hell is a plopper? That's a new one on me 😂😂

As for the Easter parade of Royals, I don't think for one minute Beatrice or Eugenie would turn up. Mind you, I thought that about the Christmas walk and there they were in full force.

The Wales's didn't go last year, they stayed in Norfolk, who knows if they will be there this year. Maybe without any Yorks, they will.

I think they'll have been told to stay away but I wouldn't put it past them if they thought there was a way they could wangle it.

I am now imagining a tussle at the church gates, that will be fun!

I'd break the rule of a lifetime and stand in the crowd to see that 😂

How will the RF (mainly KC3) let the 2 women attend private family events without being spotted and publicly criticised? Do they sneak in through back doors if they join the K&Q for tea? Or am I missing the point and they're actually being totally ostracised?

BillericayDickie · 21/03/2026 16:28

I can’t imagine they will happily give up going to public family events.
if they do, what is the point of them being princess?

Well we don’t see any of them 95 percent of the time when they are not doing public events - it’s very rare to see them going in and out of private residences - even if the paps are waiting and trying to photograph each vehicle going in and out of the different residences all you would need is a blacked out vehicle etc.

If you think about things like the Christmas walk - they could just not do the church service and still attend Christmas lunch without anyone knowing.

Going back to this original story - it’s a speculative anonymous source based article - probably a good guess, if I was advising on PR I would stress that it would be very unwise to have the senior royals publicly socializing with the Yorks right now as though nothing has happened.

But we don’t know how that affects their private relations and interactions.

simpsonthecat · 21/03/2026 21:38

Hilariously revolting

I read that QE2 said she didn't want any more dogs but AMW gifted some against her wishes. (Not sure how true this is)

And now Fergie is trying to make money from this, wot a surprise. Not

Ironically the same poster who brought bower into the thread has now popped up to bring Andrew onto a h and m thread!!

Are you referring to my post (on that H&M thread) dated 20/03/2026, time 12:42 — my response to your post in which you mentioned Andrew?

I don’t remember posting about Andrew earlier in that thread, and I could be wrong, but I’ve searched my own name and can’t find anything else on that thread other than that post.

Sorry OP for derailing again but I feel like my presence on these threads is being questioned. Twice now in as many days.

If that’s true I do have some sympathy for her .

Me also. I hate how the DM uses 'sources'... a source said this, a source said that, it is probably (hopefully) absolute bunkum. He is away on a work trip so that means their marriage is in trouble, a story to be made up there by the DM.

IF it is true, it doesn't show him in a good light, it's not as if his in laws weren't splashed all over the papers before he married B.
