British Royal Family Gossip: Part 63

Kate was a yacht girl: confirmed

F and F the Skippie Welp Troll.

She knows she's hated so has started using different words like 'oof' and 'ouch'.

For the person who didn't get the communications job - how about gardening?

Queen Mary in shades with the future Queen Ingrid of Denmark at Wimbledon in 1933.

Prince Andrew at Sick Kids in Toronto.

Fun fact: Queen Elizabeth and Marilyn Monroe were both born in the same year - 1926.

She's at the post and she's off! The Queen takes a gallop at Ascot.

The Queen as a baby. Just sit her down and she'll smile for you.

R3, if only I lived in Scotland! I'm in London and can't relocate due to partner's job.

How’s Froggie Cott coming along? Are they actually living there?

As poster on previous thread mentioned, I too am looking forward to the 3 June state banquet. It's usual to honour the guest nation by wearing its colours, so I expect to see Kate in either red or white. Red, white, and blue might be difficult unless HM lends her some fabulous sapphire jewellery to go with a red or white gown. This would also be the first time Kate could wear the DGCOVO sash along with the family order pinned to her shoulder (she was just privately invested with it by the Queen a couple of weeks ago). She's worn the Lotus and the Lover's Knot tiaras, hasn't she?

I would love the Queen to loan Kate her fabulous antique necklace of sapphires with matching drop earrings so Meghan can really eat her greedy little heart out.

The emeralds I'm afraid just wouldn't work with the red, white, and blue theme . . .

That would be quite a commute R9 - oh well maybe next time.

I hope Kate is DRAPED in Royal jewels when she meets our First Whore who will also be draped in cheap American jewels with zero provenance.

R13 - They may not have provenance but I doubt they'll be cheap . . . LOL

R14, poor fat Don the Con ain’t the big billionaire he claims to be. I’d be surprised if any of her jewels are real or expensive. And it’s not like the White House has a collection to loan the grifter whore.

The provenance of the British jewels were bought with the blood of others. They're not better than Melania's. They're just older.

Dragon's Den: Buckingham Palace edition.

I hope Kate can get her hands on the Oriental Circlet. It's such a gorgeous piece. A favorite of the Queen Mum's but not a favorite of the Queen's: She only wore it once, 15 years ago. Surely it's up for grabs.

R18 - Victoria, the Queen Mum and the Queen have worn the Oriental Circlet Tiara. I thought it would be Camilla's to wear.

The US doesn’t have priceless jewels like these but that doesn’t stop them from harping on about theirs being “expensive”.

There's life after working for the royals . The Queen's former press secretary Dickie Arbiter gets a speaking gig on a cruise ship.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I suppose that would be true, R19, but it doesn't really look like Camilla's style. That's why I thought Kate, as a future Queen, might be able to snag it at this point.

[R21} Dickie Arbiter is now a Yacht boy!!

That DM title is so dumb. They're new parents, of course they are delighted with their kid.

"The Sussexes are SO disappointed in son's ginger hair, webbed feet." THERE is a headline worth printing.

At least Charles dresses like a mensch. Take note, Harry.

For all the stories one reads about Charles, I've always thought he had kind eyes.

R24 for the win!

R16 - Your're naive (and taking this way too seriously). Provenance in this sort of jewelry, as with art, jacks the prices up much, much higher, whether you like it or not. So, yes - it is better.

It seems all the conflicting stories of the Cambridges and Charles/Camilla meeting Archie worked, the story lost steam and the news has moved on. Wonder if any of them have actually been by or even been invited. I suggest they go as a group to cut down on the amount of time each of them has to interact with the Duchess of Modernizing the Monarchy.

For all the public shows of unity on the Buckingham Palace balcony, I've heard repeatedly that the individual family members are just not that close. They're more like co-workers than relatives, which means they might not care that much about meeting Archie, period. Just like I could care less about meeting my co-worker's new baby (despite all the grifting baby shower invitations, ASHLEY).

Some things are priceless because they were stolen.

One has to understand that with MM out of sight, the DM is desperate for stories to keep the pot boiling - hence that terribly outlandish story about a couple of new parents with loads of money being delighted with their first baby.

We didn't get these endless bulletins from friends of the Cambridges after George was born.

R32 - Oh, give it a rest, will you? And try some history and geography: the Kohinoor was mined in India, Darfur is part of the which is in Africa. And after it was found, a great deal of fighting over it occurred among local populations. It changed hands in power shifts among factions in south and west Asia, until it was finally ceded to Great Britain after it annexed the Punjab.

Where great jewels are concerned, quite a lot of murder has occurred amongst every stripe of chieftains, rulers, collectors, etc. And surprisingly - they all weren't white British males with side-whiskers.

*part of the Sudan

R29-or far worse, depending on exactly what the provenance is. Having a provenance does not automatically make it better.

Not interested in fighting over the provenance of the jewels - I just want to see pictures of them.

R63 continues the BRF thread tradition of assuming that posters who disagree with his position are uninformed or naive. You're also free to ignore my posts if you don't like what I have to say.

I understand provenance lovie, I disagree with the assertion that the provenance of the BRF's jewels makes them inherently better than anything Melania Trump could own. I don't even like Melania, but not all provenance is good.

And the Darfur Orphan line was light-hearted (as that kind of post on DL has always been). Perhaps you're taking this thread too seriously.

R37 is actually a response to R33

R297 here - sorry, don't know how this ended up in the wrong thread. Pretty sure the BRF doesn't care about the discontinued chicken wrap.

Carry on.

Fergie might care, R39.

Frankly, since Melania clearly didn't sign up to be the wife of POTUS and probably hates every minute of it, I'm willing to leave her and her son out of my feelings about her husband.

When she met the Queen the last time, she was dressed in a beautiful suit as I recall, behaved appropriately and committed no faux pas. I expect the same from her on this upcoming visit.

Which is so much more than we have seen of the other still current American citizen who has been featured so prominently in these threads as she fame whores her way with a laser like attraction to any camera within reach.

Glad to see the Welp Troll has gone.

The Tiara Fraus on this thread are VERY impressed by sparkling jewels. Whenever debate gets interesting, one of them tries to defuse it by posting endless tedious photos of old fug women in tiaras.

'...as she fame whores her way with a laser like attraction to any camera within reach.'

But, but, but, Ms Racist, she's absented herself from public life for the past 3 months! How does this fit into your narrative of her as a fame hoe?

Jewel discussions are more interesting than the eighteenth iteration of "She's a whore," "No, SHE'S a whore" Meghan/Kate argument.

She's trying to get herself camera ready again, R43.

Ready for more jewels and tiaras!

I hope HM wears something besides The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland. She wears that one too much.

I realize it's comfortable and she's 93, but I want a show, dammit.

Ok, DL. Do we like this tiara with the pearls or diamonds on top?

I love the Queen's Brazilian Aquamarine Tiara with matching jewelry. Click and swipe for more photos of these gems.

Diamonds. Pearls above and below are too much of a good thing.

Queen Mary's Delhi Durbar tiara is now worn by Camilla. Photos in the link below.

British royal tiaras.

Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, wore this art deco Diamond Palmette tiara. Sadly, it was auctioned off in 1984 for over $33,000.

One of the newer tiaras of the Queen's - the Burmese Ruby Tiara . It's a very symbolic and personal piece created specifically for Queen Elizabeth II by the House of Garrard in 1973. The tiara was made using jewels already in the Queen’s royal collection, including 96 rubies presented by the people of Burma for her wedding symbolizing protection against illness and evil.

Bite me, R31

Eugenie's stunning emerald and diamond tiara.

If YOU had to choose from all these tiaras when you meet the Orange Mushroom, which one would you pick? I like the smaller sapphire ones myself.

This opal has been rarely worn by the Queen.

HM should wear the Burmese Ruby.

I hope Kate gets to wear one of the sapphire tiaras.

Let's hope George grows up gay and femme and annexes ALL the tiaras for his fabulous self. 💍💎

If they wanted to honor America with a red, white and blue theme, Camilla The Hussy could wear red (scarlet woman), Kate wears the blue and the Queen in white dress.

I love the Greek Key tiara, R57.

^ in a white dress.

I feel rather sorry for Melania. I wouldn't mind seeing her in a tiara - she's a beautiful woman. Americans don't really do tiaras though, so it wouldn't be appropriate. Furthermore, I don't think I've ever seen her without her hair being down, and an updo would be more attractive for a tiara.

I hope Kate wears something sparkling that we haven't seen her in before. And Camilla's hair game is always, always on point.

William is a happy man today!

Did I say HAPPY? Yep, Happy and Huggable Will.

R65, me too. She didn’t sign up for it, and neither did Barron. For me, he is completely off-limits and I go easy on her.

R68 , I don't care, do you?

I do love when the thread takes a Tiara turn.

Tiaras are an important civilizing influence in this thread.

You are not wrong about that, R71.

Personally, I really don't like the Burmese ruby tiara. The '70s design is kind of garish.

I’m with r72, it’s not my taste. I LOVE Queen Victoria’s emerald tiara.

Photos of Her Majesty. This lady is not afraid of bright colors or prints. The brighter the better so people can pick her out in a crowd.

She has her signature look down pat...gloves, pearls and a hat.

All this tiara talk is lovely.

That said...

-Will Megs porn tape ever be released?

-Will there be ‘heavy hints’ in the DM of Harry’s ongoing hook ups with Chelsey.

-Will the “Party Pieces was a front for Gary Goldsmith’s cocaine business” story every see the light of day?

Don't know how to photoshop a tiara, but I imagine she would wear one well. She should have landed herself a royal and avoided all this nonsense.

Kate's selling power.

R78 Very entertaining watching Serena trying to act feminine for the photographers in that video. She's also rather out of shape for an athlete although i suppose she'll use the "I just had a baby excuse" for that

R41 and R44 Hear hear!

R48 - Prefer the diamonds on top. With the pearls on top it looks like some sort of optical illusion trick.

R76 - No, no, and no.

British Twitter was enjoying Prince William's support for Aston Villa today

I want the diamonds on top.

And the burmese rubies!

[R80] Yes, so coy, so demure. Quelle coquette!

R57 - Paraolysed by an embaras de riches and absoutey unable to choose.

I'm serious. It might take someone holding a pistol to my head to force a choice.

^*paralysed

Someone is poking fun.

vomited on herself^^^

Charlene's swimmer's shoulders are something else!

Alpha

What a great video at R67.

A downright, absolutely real reaction to that win.

Has Wills lost weight? Is that why he's looking better lately? He was awfully jowly for a while there.

Where is hunchback? Why isn't she with him celebrating? 🌹

R97, The fuck is wrong with you. HRH is not a hunchback. She's 93 years old and you should be so lucky as to look so good.

R57 - LOVE THIS! But, what are their names? I like Right #2 for Kate, would match her ring so nicely. Right #5 for Kate or Camilla. Left #3 for Charlotte (I know, I know, unmarried lady not supposed to wear a tiara, boo.) Left #2 for Kate or Camilla, Left #4 for Kate (again with the sapphires) and Left #5 for Kate or Camilla.

R79, It's the difference between a woman with style and women who are fame-whores.

Women with style and means don't want to be mistaken for Instagram fame-whores.

R94, He picked the right wife and is living his best life!

If meghan disappeared today you lot would go back to hating kate like you did 3 years ago.

Not sure who that's aimed at. Kate was admirable 3 years ago, though yes even moreso today.

I'd have to try them on, R57 darling.

R57, on the right, 4th down, would be perfect for Camilla's or Kate's next visit to Canada.

Jeez, all you fat shamimg, toxic fraus! Serena Williams just co chaired the Met Gala. She couldn't care less what you wizened crones think.

Grizzled home wrecker Camilla wearing the Pearls Before Swine tiara.

Which tiara is that in the lower left hand corner at R57? It's not the Spencer, right?

I'm partial to the Greek Key tiara. I also like Princess Anne's other tiara, the Festoon.

New Harry Megan movie on Lifetime NOW! Takes place after wedding.

R108, are those her personal earrings or HRH's collection? Love!

R84, yasssss!

I would like to see the "Fringe" tiara down make another appearance.

Fringe:

Test

I have the TV movie on, and even the portrayal of her is insufferable.

Reviews of the movie?

R117 is that the real Kate? She has those villainess eyebrows that people get from Botox.

I didn't see the "movie" and can say with certainty that it sucked.

I liked that jawbreaking opal necklace, what a beauty. Yeh that's Kate with less airbrushing.

Well, I did, R119 and I must disagree with you. It was a masterpiece!

Haha R121. I am delighted to hear you enjoyed your Sunday night with The Harkles.

Grace Kelley was a yacht girl.

Typo: Grace Kelly

R65 Melania is trash. She went on TV and accused ex POTUS Obama of not being a US citizen.

She is a lying grifter who met her match in Trump.

Rather than a tiara, below is a fitting headpiece for both FLOTUS and POTUS to wear to the banquet.

What will Charles and Melania chat about during the procession into the state banquet? I was thinking Andrew would be the more appropriate choice to escort the FLOTUS since they have similar backgrounds albeit on opposite ends of business transactions.

R133 Oh sir, with your wit, you give us hope yet for this thread to salvage itself from the baby doll madness.

R124, too bad the superfan has nowhere near Kate's body.

Princess Anne with her first husband Mark Phillips.

Diana almost loses her hat on a windy day.

Why the hell Charles and Anne couldn't enter Balmoral through a door is beyond me.

A new engagement for Harry on June 6.

I just found this photo and posted over on the Tiffany Trump fashion ensemble thread. It seems that Beatrice's dress with see through panels at Gabriella's wedding was not her first foray into transparency. But jeez, Bea, we can see a little crotch triangle there. I actually like this dress except for the obvious.

I don't know if this is true but it may happen in the future.

Oh Andrew, those teeth.

Meghan walking up the steps at St George's Chapel.

Kate arriving at Westminster Abbey on her wedding day.

So yes, for pure camp entertainment I tuned in to Lifetime and watched a bit of that movie. It was silly, of course, but did somewhat credibly portray Meghan as a misunderstood breath of fresh air. Lots of fretting about how the big bad institution of the BRF won't let her be her own person, and what have you. "Yes, I wear black nail polish and no pantyhose, what of it? This is who I am!" This seems to be the narrative now.

The Cambridge children's birth announcements all had the doctors signatures.

Is it true MM was born male?

R145 - "a misunderstood breath of fresh air". Oh my sides. Who are they kidding? We understand women like Meghan perfectly

Lady Gabriella's wedding dress designer Luisa Beccaria in all her glory.

R123 William looked hot there, he was always the more attractive brother. I don’t think making fun of his hair loss is bullying in this context. William is a public figure (by birth and status) and as far as we know his hair loss isn’t tied in with mental well-being, as in he doesn’t have body dysmorphia, anxiety, or depression attributed to it. Now if he was your work colleague especially whom you know to experience mental distress due to hair loss or he’s told you to stop, then yeah it’s bullying.

Public figures get roasted all the time for the way they look. Rob Lowe should know better as he was roasted mercilessly for sex tape with a minor when he was in his 20s. He also seems like the stereotypically shallow aging celeb steadfastly holding onto relevance for fear of not being cast for roles. Without makeup, hair dye, and studio lighting he looks way older than his age, that’s a fact.

Meghan's veil is so ridiculous for a divorced mid-thirties woman

Funny how all of Kate’s progeny have clear and distinct features even as tiny infants, while MeGan’s was a newborn doll.

Bea's worked hard to keep weight off, but that dress is just unfortunate and not appropriate for a wedding.

Perhaps she is trying to sex up her look, to compete with her boyfriend's baby mama, who is stunning.

Yes, R147, people born male bear children, and bloat out from pregnancy, all the time.

R152 - Yeah, like the Queen would be photographed looking at a doll. Sod off with your newborn doll conspiracy shit.

R140, I liked the dress Bea wore to the wedding and thought it suited her. I just didn't think it was really daytime wedding attire. It would've been great for an event where more revealing attire was fine.

The only way Bea will ever compete with Edo's ex is if she transplants her brain into the body of a supermodel.

Maybe not even then: Isn't the ex supposed to be super smart?

She's an architect who owns her own design firm. I think I read she's Harvard trained.

It's coming for Harry!

Edi's ex is super ultra smart, except when it comes to choosing a father FOR HER CHILD. Whoops oh well.

I agree that Rob Lowe shouldn't have mocked William's balding. I think it's ok to do it on a gossip board though. Lots of men lose their hair and still are sexy.

R159-Meghan will never let that happen. He'll get plugs.

None of these expensive tiaras actually look beautiful.

Tacky glitter.

R151 Your Majesty, I completely agree.

EXTRAORDINARY article in Express which states that she allows NO ONE near the new baby. Doria only allowed to hold for few seconds. Everything done for the mite by she alone. Building up for something, methinks, as this would suggest that there is something to hide if not even the grandmother gets to hold the baby for more than seconds (while she in shower!). Either, preparing to reveal that is a doll or mental problem related to postnatal. What think you?

Charles pulls little Harry in for a hug

The posters saying we're bullying Wills by saying he's bald are the same ones calling MM 'polio legs' and Harry 'ginger fuzz'.

That’s a great photo r127. Thank you.

Oops. I meant r126. Sorry.😐

Expanding on the assertion put forth by R165 - Back when Archie was born, Charles was presented with a pair of Lederhosen by some official while he and Camilla were in Germany. It's not very clear, but you can hear him say to the man "It's extraordinarily kind of you, but I'm afraid they'll never get near THAT baby....." and then they both chuckle.

There's a real, live, breathing baby that Meghan gave birth to and Harry fathered. If she's not letting anyone near Archie, it's because she's an overly protective first-time mother of advanced age with a documented history of controlling behavior.

I'm not a fan of Sophie Wessex' tiara. It looks cheap.

This diamond and aquamarine tiara looks much better.

Sophie's tiara was cobbled together from some old pieces that belonged to Queen Victoria. I agree that it looks like party tat.

The aquamarine tiara she got later was a vast improvement.

Elizabeth I Pelican tiara reproduction

Elizabeth I necklace

The Elizabethan pieces @R175 & R176 are beautiful in their own way. They do appear to be clunky and heavy.

It's a shame that almost none of the BRF's jewels from before the 1650s survive intact, due to the English Civil War. I think they have a cup and a a sword scabbard or something, and that's it. Everything else is scattered to the four winds.

Funny to think that someone is walking around wearing Elizabeth I's pearls and has no idea!

Well to be fair, it was the mid 1500s - stone cutting just wasn't known and understood as it is today. They were all about the Pearl back then.

Does anyone know for sure how many corgis the Queen has left?

R162 Meghan lets him out of the house for official engagements looking like this after spending 500,000+ on herself. A narc has no fucks to give. So what if Harry looks homeless and the hair that used to grow on his scalp are now weeds out of his ears and nose? She already got the ring she needed.

In honor of the upcoming state visit, here is a video of the state dinner procession last year when the Dutch King and Queen visited. Queen Maxima slayed it.

It seems like nearly 33% of the male population in the real world is bald...or on the way there. But in Hollywood, only about 5 percent of men are bald. Hmmm...

Not a British royal but it's good to see the new Empress of Japan out and about and donning royal jewels.

Harry's clothes probably look like that due to him losing a lot of personal staff, including the personal secretary that fixed up his public image post-vegas. Plus his general lack of fucks and it's not like he needs to impress people to get sales/network.

R181 Meghan is his wife not his mother. He's a 34 year old man not a child. It always surprises me how comfortable people who think it's a wife's job to dress their husband are with infantilising men.

Try reading that again R186... R181 was in response to R162 who asserted Meghan would force Harry to get hair plugs before allowing him to grow bald. I agree she is not his mother; however, given her penchent for self-absorption, it is also unlikely she even notices let alone cares how slovenly her husband presents himself for official engagements.

Markle looks just as seedy as Haz most of the time they're on the "job," so it's clear that he's coming down to her standards, and vice versa. They don't give a crap and it shows.

I'm hoping for a side story love triangle this summer in this soap opera. Edo has now reconnected with Dara, his ex, on instagram. Should poor Be a be concerned, or does she understand that Edo is tied to Dara for life because she's the mother of his son? I wonder how Bea justifies all of this. Dara is from a good family (her father a retired NASA scientist), she's also well-educated and accomplished professionally, not to mention not slacker in the looks department. Dara also seems to be the type who cares more about their son than airing her grievances publicly; Edo did her dirty by dumping her unexpectedly before taking up with Bea. If I were her, I'd keep son Christopher "Wolfie" away from the shady as fuck Yorks. It's bad enough having social climber, grifter Edo for a father, the kid shouldn't be saddled with having to deal with a questionable step-family in the Yorks aside from Eugenie maybe.

Bea probably just really just wants children. Better to be divorced w/ kids than an aging spinster

R189, now that the Harkles are being quiet, I’m enjoying the sideshow of Bea and Edo.

R188, maybe he’s in “fuckit” mode - he’s not going to be King, so why should he knock himself out? But her ill-fitting ensembles and messy hair are a puzzle. She is very invested in her appearance. Maybe she just doesn’t realize how it looks?

You keep posting the same comment, almost word for word R190. I've seen it four times in relation to Beatrice over the last few threads. She may not even want kids, but even if she did, 30 is hardly old.

I haven't actually posted that much, but ok

Melania is disappointed that Markle will not be in attendance at the state visit, as she was hoping to announce a joint "Be Best" banana campaign for school children.

R190 - "Better to be divorced w/ kids than an aging spinster."

Really, are you serious? Have you asked all of the single Moms out there how that much "better" they're lives are after their divorces? Of course, Beatrice doesn't have to worry financially like most divorced women with children but still your statement is not only stupid, it's misogynist. Does anyone use the derogatory word "spinster" anymore? Pray tell what decade you are living in?

^ their lives

the implication is obviously 'within her social circle/class' which is a completely different animal than single mothers struggling to pay their bills

Photos of Prince Andrew opening a school in Toronto.

R195, if I may, I’d like to chime in on behalf of the large number of single-by-choice women I know in NYC. It’s not the same thing as being divorced, but. These are successful, financially independent women with careers who didn’t find a husband but wanted to be parents. There are obvious drawbacks, but there are benefits. Chiefly, they call all the shots. There’s no disappointing and uneven sharing of the child care and labor. There are no lowered expectations.

I’m sure that Bea can’t have the luxury of making that choice, but it’s too bad. It certainly beats the custody battle or even just the logistics of custody sharing even among the most amicable of co-parents.

[Quote]I haven't actually posted that much, but ok

I'm not R192, but I was going to post the same thing. ENOUGH with that comment already.

R123, Someone should "poke fun" at Rob Lowe's intentional sexy sexiness with the underage girls.

He's "me too!" lucky that he's outside the statute of limitations for prosecution for all the underage sex.

R125, the Duchess of Smegma looks like a cow. Melania wears it well, but she caught fame by being a model - she used to get paid to look good in complicated clothes.

Kate looks like a future Queen.

It's all to be expected.

R175-An interesting tidbit on Elizabeth I and the use as a pelican as one of her symbols. The belief was that pelicans were very maternal, particularly given the way the mothers open their beaks to feed their young. Elizabeth adopted the pelican as an emblem to symbolize her "feeding" and being a maternal figure to her subjects. Very sly, that Virgin Queen.

R136, Any details on that uniform? Is it the one we've seen Alpha Will in recently?

R146, Yes, but the Cambridge children are important.

Photos and info on the Royal Christening Gown.

That hat looks painful!

R143. All alone. Because despite being almost 40 she had managed to accumulate no stable relationships either within or without her family, and not even her father could be relied upon.

So Prince Charles (who calls her "Tungsten") had to do the honors at the chapel so as to not completely humiliate his son.

What a sorry legacy.

R149, I want to put that hat in my garden right next to a gazing ball.

R172 Sophie's tiara looks like kitty cat ears. A diamond pussy hat, if you will.

R163 (Has only jealously eyed the plastic ones in the costume aisle at Target).

Yeah, you go ahead and talk down those tiaras, honey. We see you.

It's like Chris Rock (us) dragging Jada Pinkett Smith (you) for boycotting the Oscars (tiaras) when he compared them to Rihanna's panties (the goods):

"You're boycotting a party you weren't invited to!"

R211-Hell, I'll take any tiara R163 turns his or her nose up at. Happy to take it off their hands.

R172 has a more lustrous tiara. Right R172?

Pics or it didn't happen...

My dad is about as much of an idiot as Thomas is. And, he and I are equally estranged.

But you’d better believe I would have gritted my teeth, snatched him up, and told him he’d BETTER show his sorry ass up at my wedding (if I were in Markle’s shoes.)

The fact that MM was willing to feud with her father with the whole world watching tells you what utter trash she is.

I guess it’s possible he refused to attend, but that’s where the snatching him up comes in.

I'd like Kate to show up at the Trump state dinner with the art deco tiara Meghan wore at her wedding. Take that, bitch!

R189, I think Bea would rather be divorced with kids than stuck taking care of her mother forever. It'd be harder for her to be a single mother via sperm donor in the BRF than as a successful career woman in NYC.

It also might not be a big deal that he's getting friendly with his ex on Instagram and perhaps shows he's interested in being involved in his child's life. I have friendly Facebook liking relationships with a few exes, and there's nothing beyond that. Enough time has gone by to heal any wounds in these cases, and we've all moved on to new partners.

R214 Agree. To seem without family, other than Doria, is just sad.

R215 No one is ever going to wear that tiara again, least of all Kate. It is cursed, and likely poisoned.

[quote]I think Bea would rather be divorced with kids than stuck taking care of her mother forever.

Getting married and having children doesn't absolve women of their birth-ordained responsibility of taking care of aging parents. If a family does not have any girls, it will fall upon the daughters-in-law to do it. It's a role society expects of them and if they don't step up to the plate they are viewed as selfish and irresponsible. when, in fact, it's straight men who are. So on top of kids, the aging parents. Though, in Eugenie and Bea's case "taking care of her mother forever" will consist of calling royal handlers to corral her when she's out of control and interviewing live-in nurses (who Andrew will pay for) when Fergie is far into her dotage, as opposed to becoming the nursemaids themselves.

R218, Meh, Smeg's tiara is pretty forgettable considering the royal collection (not just the Crown Jewel's but also HRH's personal jewels). And HRH has made it clear that Smeg isn't tiara-worthy.

Maybe we could see Princess Charlotte in some of them though!

R220, that image is a bit self-important of the Harkles. Frogmore HOUSE >>> Frogmore COTTAGE (Toad Hall).

R219, They're British, not Asian. Their MILs can fuck right off.

The tunnels? Haven't the Duchess's nether regions been excavated enough?

R220, I’m sure that NO ONE is allowed to photograph Frogmore Cottage.

And babies can sleep through anything if they’re used to it. The biggest mistake new parents make is tiptoeing around their newborns. My firstborn nephew had to be in a completely dark room with a white noise machine set to “crickets” at level 7. He’s 8 and still relies on the crickets and complete darkness. His brother, the third child, falls asleep anywhere because his parents realized how stupid that was.

It's not just Asian societies that impose life-long shackling of daughters to their parents, R223. It's a very American middle class phenomenon and it's becoming worse as baby boomers age and nursing home care is prohibitively expensive and is not covered by Medicare (health insurance for those 65 and older). Throw in the fact that rates of dementia-related disorders is increasing. At least the UK has NHS.

I drove by Windsor today and there was massive security all around the Cottage. That entrance was barricaded and pictures would definitely not have been allowed.

If it's an important residence since the time of Queen Victoria, surely there's SOMETHING visual of the place.

Not sure if the security is this over-done every day, but there were 7-8 security staff at the main entrance to the Cottage.

Bea is an idiot for getting with Edo. She’s batting out of her league, looks-wise. She’s not attractive and needs to accept that fact. She needs to follow the example of Will and Harry’s McCorqudale cousins and marry a regular, homely bloke that would worship the ground she walks on. She needs to pick a guy with flaws so that he’ll accept her flaws in return.

I want to see Queen Charlotte in Vic's little sapphire and diamond coronet. That would be the cutest.

R231 - That would be logical. Bea isn't operatring on logic or she'd hever have looked at Edo. She's projecting onto him what she wants for herself. If she can't have it herself, she'll have it in a partner and that partner will reflect her the way she wants to be seen to the outside world. And she isn't an eyesore - she simply hasn't a clue how to dress hersefl. Take off a stone and star working with a personal trainer, layer the hair, stop wearing idiotic clothes, and she would be more than presentable. She has pretty skin and nice hair and decent legs (from the knee down). Women have done better with far less.

R228 - That's because Frogmore House just opened to the public, so tourists are queuing up to see the main house, and the Cottage is a stone's throw away from the main house.

It's amusing to picture Meghan steaming after all those assurances that they "chose" Frogmore Cottage so they could ditch the "goldfish bowl" of a 21 room "apartment" in a historick palace in central London.

Ha, R231, she did pick a guy with flaws - he comes encumbered by a previous marriage.

Bea's got plenty going for her though: great hair, rich, and of course grand-daughter of HRH. Male ginges are gross but the females? Very hot!

R234, At least she'll always have Botswana.

R235, were Bea and Edo married? I think they were “engaged” and he’s the baby daddy. Supposedly she’s very smart and wealthy, but she seems like a frivolous try-hard IG ho. Maybe that’s how these women are, nowadays.

Dara gambled and lost (got pregnant and he still didn’t marry her).

I’d like to see Bea try that trick. Maybe it’ll work because she’s a PRINCESS.

R237, well that's a few steps above an American fame-whore who married the lesser prince because the football players all turned her down, isn't it?

On the other hand, maybe Edo's baby mama fired HIM because HE was out of HER league....just sayin'

Not all female redheads are hot, I mean look no further at Bea's mom Fergie. Ginges tend to age more rapidly with more wrinkles and sagging due to nature of their skin.

Bea does need to back off here a bit, I wonder if Edo has introduced her to his son Wolfie? Most likely he's done that IF they're serious, and we just haven't read about it. She's inheriting all of Edo's relationship baggages and no I'm not talking about the child but the way he mistreated Dara. Big fucking, glaring red flag that she chooses to ignore. Meanwhile her friends who have spoken to the media on her behalf kept insisting that 'oh no, Bea would never break up a couple with a child'. FFS what does that even mean? Nothing, except she's choosing to be with a cad who dumped the mother of his child without any warning, at least according to HIS friends who'd spoken to media. I think I read something to that effect with the friend saying pretty much that it was what it looked like.

As long as she has smooth, pretty hair she'll be fine. No chemicals and hot irons required to make it photogenic, right?

On the subject of real princesses, what is the youngest that one has worn a tiara? When can we expect one for Princess Charlotte?

Aren't tiaras first worn during weddings?

[quote] My dad is about as much of an idiot as Thomas is. And, he and I are equally estranged.

[quote] But you’d better believe I would have gritted my teeth, snatched him up, and told him he’d BETTER show his sorry ass up at my wedding (if I were in Markle’s shoes.)

Perhaps R214 is into kidnapping. I agree that the spectacle of the Markle Debacle was unseemly in so many ways but Thomas Markle is a grown ass man. If he says he's not attending her wedding I'm not sure what Meghan or the BRF or could legally do to get him there.

R242 I think the rule is, no tiara until you're married

Margaret - incomparable:

Turquoise? There can't be a high demand for this color. Surely Eugenie or Bea could wear it.

It's a bit large for Charlotte.

Kate in something other than the Cambridge Lover's Knot:

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Lady Gabrielle Windsor wearing the Fringe tiara (the wedding Meghan wasn't welcome to attend)

Princesses of the Blood can wear tiaras before marriage; the arrivistes have to wait for the weedding.

demmit - Wedding, not weeding.

R246-Margaret was exquisite. It's a pity she led such a vapid life.

R238, indeed. And I went a little hard on Dara. I don’t know her. And whatever the case, dumping her suddenly and without a face-to-face discussion (and moving to the next piece immediately!) is very bad behavior.

I’d love to know the real story there.

Is the very fantastical Will and Kate thread dead? I just started reading it (and it was weirdly entertaining), but it seems to have been greyed out like many of the BRF threads have been.

R255, short version: Will's a stud, Kate's a model getting accolades from HRH. The rumor-mongering from the Harkles is why they have to move to Africa. Meg's still fat, Harry's looking worse for wear.

Not enough pictures of Charlotte.

R254 I'd love to know what sort of excuses that Edo gave or is still giving Bea for his caddish behavior towards Dara. She's the mother of his child, not just a live-in girlfriend, so she deserves more than to be blindsided like that. And to rub salt into the wound he starts being seen in public with Bea almost simultaneously, making it obvious that he'd been cheating on her for quite a while prior to blindsiding her. Whatever image Dara likes to project on IG, she's a well-educated, successful professional woman with her own business and she supports herself quite well without Edo. She's certainly not like Meghan who uses IG for the purpose of famewhoring and trolling for rich and famous men. I just think Bea should really think hard and twice before marrying Edo, but for our soap opera I think he's a great cast addition.

I keep hoping Bea will dump him and leave him high and dry. That would be sweet.

I'm beginning to think that Bea has some serious self-esteem issues, what with her last relationship and now with this Edo cad. It's like Christina Onassis all over again.

LOL Princess Margeret looked like a pure pretentious bitch and that nose, only photographical from the life or full on her right side really shows the ugly

How old are you granny R259? The girl is dickmatized, and there's nothing wrong with that. Take your outdated soap opera mentality to the other clucking hens at your knitting group.

R260 "photographical from the life or full on her right side" WTF on ignore you go.

Now, now. Maybe Dara is a wicked witch who tried to trap our dear, guileless Edo!

In other news, I'm watching my DVR'd Harry and Meghan Lifetime movie. Christmas at Sandringham scene. It's pretty well cast overall, though they've got a real chubby lady playing the queen. The actress playing Meg is quite convincing. It is rather ripped from the headlines, all the little tabloid stories are being acted out. Now Meghan is lamenting the characterization of her Christmas church hat as a "poo emoji."

Gasp! The TV movie actually shows her coveting Euge's emerald tiara!

All the ladies want Edo’s sperm. (Can we blame them?)

Does he have an accent?

How dumb are you R261? Try to be well-versed in trashy gossip fodder, yes even historically old ones dating back to the 1980s when Diana was still around, they' were mainstays in tabloids back then. Or is Diana too ancient for you too? For your information CO was dickmatized too on top of shitty self-esteem. Not all of us are sweater-knitting olds either, we just know our Eurotrash gossip canons from our moms and their friends. Maybe you should try brushing up on them too just so you don't sound like a novice to the gossip game.

Edo is good looking and well-groomed, But in some photos his eyes are almost as unnervingly wide and buggy as Bea's when he's posing for the camera, he looks almost dorky.

Crazy-eyes Edo

R202 Are you daft? How many times do you have to be told that Melania was no fashion model. She was never paid to wear "complicated" clothes. She was paid a small amount of money to strip down and film soft porn. She was an escort who married a customer, who then bought her larger, better boobs.

They look great together there, R267. Ohhh I want this marriage, very badly!

The Bedo kids will look like Harry Styles.

Edo is not that attractive. He is short with slim shoulders, very dainty build and carries himself in a very effeminite way. Crossing his legs like a woman (i first noticed it in the cab with bea). Although thin, he has a skinny fat thing going on and even has a double chin. Very doughy soft facial features.

He looks very north italian....I'll say no more.

Prince william and lord frederick windsor shit all over him in their youth without trying. The latter was even a model for a short period of time.

Edo has gay face

Imma make a good livin' being a model!

Edo is more pretty than hot IMO. He seems like the type who's very high maintenance and not the sort who'll fuck your brains out, at least not without getting all sweaty or checking his hair in the mirror. Dainty is the right word.

^^^without not getting all sweaty

Edo has a kind of Casiraghi look.

I wonder if Randy Andy has any nicknames for Edo. The former Navy officer, son of Philip, man's man, rude boy must look at him askance.

Andrea has masculine energy and is actually sexy in a brooding way. Also looks much better than edo both facially and bodywise, andrea is also tall.

Oh no R276, don't mention Casiraghi, now you're going to have R261 on your case for referencing old people gossip. But I agree, they both have that doughy face thing going on. Although Casiraghi had the edge in looks because he actually had a square or squarish jawline, whereas Edo's face is feminine, pretty oval. Shit, his jawline is way more feminine than manly-jaws Meghan.

Edo's father, Count Alessandro "Alex" Mapelli-Mozzi in 1972

R268 AFAIK there's no solid evidence Melania was an escort. That was the basis of her libel lawsuit against the DM. If the DM had proof, they would have used it. The truth is an absolute defence against libel. Instead, the DM settled for almost $3M.

Bea is about 162-163 cm or about 5 feet 4 inches tall. Judging from the photo in this article, it looks like she's wearing 3-inch heels, no more than 4 inches. Edo is about the same height, which makes him 172-173 cm or 5 feet 7 inches tall, or to be extra generous 175 cm/ 5 feet 8-9 inches at most.

She was an escort in her heart, R281.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Why do they always use pics of Frog House not Frog Cot to illustrate article about Frog Cot? Quite intentionally misleading by her PR.

R283 Possibly. It's an important distinction.

And if you cross the line, I will sue your ass.

Melania jenners porn photos speak for themselves

R285 The story is about Frogmore House being open to the public. The image is not misleading.

People are passing within 20 feet of Frog Cott and trying to peer into windows? I have a hard time believing this.

Yes, but there are many articles with the photo of the house and the article at the link talks about people trying to look into the windows. The assumption can easily be that they are living in the structure in the photo. In articles re: renovations to Frog Cot, photos of scaffolding around the mausoleum was used.

Is it plausible that people are allowed to go within 20 feet, close enough to see in the windows? Given the lawsuit that was just won? I think he is at KP and she is at the Clooney home.

I've read in a few gossipy places that Sparkles doesn't actually live in Frogmore.

Klassy!

At my high school, and I'm same age as Meghan, there were 2 types of girls: those who followed trashy trends and wore those tacky-ass Playboy tanks and shirts vs. those who didn't because they thought them tacky as fuck. Also, I thought Meg was supposed to be a feminist? There's nothing feminist about Playboy. Playboy was all about co-opting sexuality for women, but based upon trite, old-fashioned, traditional male fantasy of how women should look and behave to be considered desirable. I guess Meghan saying she was a feminist all her life was a big lie too, not surprised.

Does the UK have squatter's rights?

If Sparkle is at Clooney's mansion and lives there long enough, is she legally entitled to own the place?

So block me stale ole grammar nazi @r262, IDGAF. I rushed to comment without editing/spell checking so sue me. We can't go back to edit mistakes like on most gossip board.

Footballer Scott Sinclair with his daughter, Delilah. He is 25% black like M with very similar colouring and his wife has brown hair and blue eyes. A baby like this for M and H is a possibility!

Would Meghan be able to identify Ranking Roger if her life depended on it? She's suddenly getting her Frogmore assistants to compile dossiers, as we speak, despite her raving dumbassedness.

Who is the creep always obsessing over race and what colouring archie will have? BuTiTsNoTaBoUtRaCe

No wonder they're so protective over their baby. Between the adult calling the child a monkey and the crazy obsessives waiting to analyze everything from his toenails, I don't blame them.

And for the last time doria is not half white! Meghan is half black. You have no idea what the baby will look like you creep. I hope they up their security.

And if frogcot is a front to get people off their backs, I don't blame them. They probably live somewhere else and frogcott is their official home to the public. Good for them.

I watched the burger video, talk about embarrassing. Lost count of how many times she bit her lip / stuck a finger in her mouth. Her idea of “sexy” is so basic.

Actually, @R300 I think she was hoeing very well in the burger grilling video. I'm sure she fucked someone for that gig before during or after! To her credit, the woman has confidence by the ton. Not a fan, heavens no.

The burger video is telling, and displays Markle's "acting" skills in all their tepid glory. Screwing Harvey Weinstein didn't even get her anywhere. Arch your back sexay Megs!

The pics of PH on the plane coming from Rome are all gone ! Strange indeed !

I don’t think they’re living at Frogmore Cottage, either.

Blind Item #7 The alliterate former actress is supposedly renovating the place she is going to call her permanent home. The thing is though, she has, except for things that are going to be made public, been staying at a different residence. The residence is a rental that she gets for free, but, like many of her other scams involves her getting reimbursed for what the rental would cost if she was actually paying. POSTED BY ENT LAWYER AT 10:30 AM 124 COMMENTS

They don’t live at Frog Cottage don’t let the cars fool you !

What is REALLY happening behind the scenes at Frogmore?

That is a pic of Frogmore House not Frogmore Cottage R307 .

While discussing the physical attributes of these players we should all remember the difference between "HOT" and "British Hot." That will be all. Thank you.

R309, I’m assuming Edo is “British hot”. Who else?

The airplane photos are still in the GLT Facebook group, in the original photographer’s post.

I was looking there and didn’t found them R

Sorry. I was looking there and didn’t found them R311

The the Enty “blind” at r305, those things make so little sense. Who is giving Meghan money to pay her rent? She doesn’t receive a PAYCHECK, does she? Is Amal charging rent? I can imagine “Frog Cott isn’t private and secure enough for a Princess of the United Kingdom. I’m renting the Clooney pile. The People are obligated to house me, so please deposit £xxx in my account so I can pay my friend the rent owed.” Like that?

The blind doesn’t mention Harry or the baby. If she’s living with him, he’s as complicit in the scam as she is. If he isn’t cohabiting with her...

And now I’ve spent much too much time entertaining a CDAN blind.

I don't know if it's my imagination but in all the recent pictures of royals, they all look so happy in the absence of the dark cloud that is Sparkles.

Haz has been getting around since Markle is in hiding with the sprog. It must be a relief for him not to have her hanging all over him trying to keep up in her heels. It seems like he has an engagement *gasp* every other day.

R315. It's definitely your imagination. I've got 99 problems...

Another engagement for Harry because he really needs to get out of the house during his paternity leave.

Dead Eye Harry.

Harry's paternity leave is over, R321. He only took a couple of weeks off.

Wishful thinking? A girl can dream.

Diana with longer hair.

Kate stans rejoice. Betty treats her like a friend.

Kate will get another chance to co-design a second garden, this one at Hampton Court Palace.

The young Queen with Prince Charles.

The Queen channeling the groovy Sixties and the Beatles. LOL.

Anne wondering what the Queen is talking about.

These kids had their own royal wedding.

Charlotte holding Louis' hand.

With a dearth of news from the royals, the Daily Express is rehashing old news: Andrew Morton claims Kate used a charity boat race for self promotion and then ghosted friends when Will said things were back on.

[quote] Most significantly, she had undertaken gruelling training to enter a women-only boat race, which she called off at the last minute when her relationship with William got back on track.

[quote] Mr Morton continues: “When she pulled out of the dragon-boat race in August with just a week to go, their worst fears were confirmed.”

[quote] Race organiser Emma Sayle told the author that she pleaded with Kate: “Remember, this is not just for charity, it is for yourself.

[quote] “Please don’t drop out. For the first time in your life you are actually doing something for yourself.”

[quote] Mr Morton adds: “Her friend Alicia Fox-Pitt also had to drop out after breaking her collar bone in a riding accident. Alicia, however, travelled to Dover to wave the team off on what proved to be a world-record-breaking endeavour.

[quote] “As for Kate, it was as if the last three months of relative independence had become another country, the Sisterhood never heard from her again; not so much as a word of congratulation or a donation to the children’s charities for which the women raised more than £100,000.”

R332-no, that is Louis holding Charlotte's hand. Look at that face. That boy is in charge.

The Express is betting on Meghan attending Trooping the Colour.

R335-bring on Meghan's fuckery. We are ready! Let's hope she whips out a nipple and suckles Babe Archie on the balcony.

Who is organizing the retirement party for Juan Carlos I?

[quote] FORMER King of Spain Juan Carlos I of Spain has retired from public life after he once said he didn’t want his son “wither waiting” for the throne like Prince Charles.

[quote] Previously, the monarch had spoken to the chief of the royal household Rafael Spottorono about his plans to abdicate.

[quote] El Mundo reported him as saying : “I do not want my son to wither waiting like Prince Charles.”

[quote] Prince Charles has become a figure of fun over his long wait to become King.

R336, I would not be shocked if she attended with that baby hanging off of her teat. Not one bit shocked. I’ll remember that you called it.

In the past, have members of the family taken newborn babies out on the balcony? Seems like it would be easier for the baby and the parents to leave the baby at home with a nanny and let it sleep. And if you don't have a nanny, then it's probably better to stay home with the baby.

Today the Telegraph has an article on Alessandra Rich, the designer of the polkadot dress.

If it were not for the extravagant front split, this dress would be boring AF. The split is redeeming.

I still think Kate should have worn a belt. The elongated torso does her no favours.

That said, I consider it a fashion win.

R333 - I remember seeing Kate at a boat race. Maybe I'm confused and it was the practice.

A contemporaneous report on the boat race R341.

R342 - thanks. I guess I saw her practicing. So she pulled out of the race because she was advised to do so.

The Queen met the new Poet Laureate today and gave him a medal.

Another appearance for Harry: he'll be with the Queen at Buckingham Palace for a meeting with a cricket team.

R339, it matters not what has been done in the past by the BRF. Meghan is a “breath of fresh air” and intends to shake up those stuffy traditions.

I wonder if Kate regrets pulling out of the race-if it's one of those wistful, "I really wish I had" moments for her.

To put a newborn through all that when it could be peacefully sleeping isn't going to win you any friends with people who like royal babies.

Shot on sight?

R349, LOL. Meghan has stated her boundaries.

I don’t even think she’s living there.

Kate's designer friend says Instagram influencers are worthless.

R335 Oh, she ain't missing the Trooping for worlds!

‘It felt like cut glass inside me’

R300 Yes, very basic. Her idea of sexy is very Playboy Magazine e.g. artificial, contrived, and in an old-fashioned way. It was apropos that she wore that gaudy, trendy Playboy shirt when she was old enough to know better. What a feminist, huh? The real Meghan is the Look at Me! one in the try-too-hard-to-be-sexy barbecue video, not the version she wants us to see: the ghosting social climber/ fake humanitarian-feminist.

I don't like being the center of attention so I don't think I'd want to be a royal.

Photos of the Queen and Harry meeting the World Cup cricket captains at the Palace today.

Photos of the Buckingham Palace garden party. The Kents were there too (Duke and the Michaels).

The Queen was in top form.

Eugenie at the garden party.

Eugenie, the Duchess of Gloucester and Beatrice standing at attention for "God Save The Queen".

Marriage agrees with Eugenie. She's coming into her own fashion-wise. Oh, Bea. I can only shake my head.

The older she gets, the more Eugenie looks like the Queen Mum.

[R361] I know the feeling. I would make like my cat and hide beneath the nearest table until all the guests had gone home.

The Queen looks just so damn pretty. Her outfits are a delight.

Meanwhile the cricket players look more regal than Harry.

When photographed at certain angles, Eugenie can either look like Andrew in drag or look quite pretty. I think it's due to her large and squarish face. Bea is just unfortunate looking all around, got the worst of Fergie's and Andrew's features, and doesn't know how to dress for her body.

They are both far too young to have their tittays hanging at knee level.

Harry seems distracted by his York cousins.

R372 It's what happens when women have huge jugs like those two, especially unfortunate Bea.

A good bra could still help Bea & Eugenie. 90% of women wear the wrong size.

Can't imagine Harry's wife standing to so much attention during the anthem. I'm LOVING seeing the York girls out and getting more exposure. It can only mean one thing, in all reality. Yoko is being sidelined. I'm not bothered about there dangly boobs, I'd rather they were comfy and did a good job. And I LOVED today's frocks.

Their, not there, sorry. Sidelined watching the horrific BGT. ho will perform in front of Liz? Crikey, none of them, so far, I hope.

And who, not ho....sidelined by the Sussex Royal Insta......mentioning HERSELF again........SHE WASN'T THERE! She's loco.

I’m starting to like the schoolmarm dresses!

And shocked that the IG account didn’t mention MM in the post about Sentebale. Was cracking up at how she shoehorned herself into the one about the Garden Party. Was really half-expecting some footage of the anniversary of her SEXXXY sashay up the stairs.

Oh my sides-today's Instagram post. Markle's narc fingers are all over it, and it's hilarious how she refers to him as "His Royal Highness." Some nuggets: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended their first official Garden Party as a couple last May at Buckingham Palace just days after their wedding, in celebration of The Prince of Wales’ charity work, patronages and military affiliations." You know-just in case we forgot. It's critical we be reminded.

"The Duke also greeted several representatives of The Duchess’ patronages on her behalf, as she is on maternity leave and was unable to attend." Again, so crucial we know this.

She's the gift that keeps on giving.

I've got to be honest, my sister is all over the school mam / prairie dress look, she is a make-up artist in film and TV. So it must be fashionable? She has that blonde violet hair, it all looks good on her. But it must be kind of "in" for her to adopt it. Makes a change from her ripped denimn shorts over laddered tights, lol.

Like the 1970's all over again!

Apologies if this has already been posted, but the woman whose car Prince Philip collided with has been banned from driving on unrelated offences:

The Vampire’s Wife is Susie Bick’s line. Her floral dresses have been hugely popular for a while now, with various magazines naming one or another The Dress of 2018.

@281 is a Trumpette

Hey Trumpette-

Who would fuck tRUMP unless they were being paid?

R385 Evidence for that?

R390-and those are not "complicated clothes" as the one poster claimed.

R389 is right, this schoolmarm look has been big for a minute. Unfortunately it looks best, in my opinion, on women with willowy/not-busty builds. It can move intro frump/matron territory very quickly (and not in a stylish way) on the large busted like ol' Bea (and myself, although i think I've aged out of that kind of super trendy dressing).

As for Melania, her real tits were WAY better.

I hope Megs shows at the Trooping. Lots of fawning over her on other sites right now re her "snubbing" Trump. She's lucky she's got an excuse in her maternity leave. Otherwise she'd be rolled out to greet Cheetolini with the rest of the poor bastards.

Eugenie's post about the garden party. Third photo of Beatrice - poor woman - those teeth are usually found on a horse!

R390 Stop being a trolling asswipe. Call Melania artistic or call her a slut based on her nude images. Posing nude isn't escorting.

R281 is a statement of fact. It is on record that the DM had to pay Melania 2.9M after claiming she was an escort ("provided services beyond simply modelling.") and not having evidence to back up its claims.

If marrying a rich man automatically makes a woman a sex worker, we may have to reevaluate Victorian and Regency Period literature. Give my regrets to Jane Austen et al. on that matter.

Shut up with the Trump Wife talk. This thread is about the British Royal Family.

The Queen and baby's head.

I think Bea and Eug look fantastic in r394. Appropriate and pretty. The large breasts do tend to make a woman look matronly if she’s not careful, but most straight men will want to ogle them anyway.

When is the Trooping? Can’t wait to see if MM shows up. She’s nostalgic about the Garden Party, but will she want to relive her exile?

Even Harry looked properly turned-out for the Garden Party, r294. Can’t see his dwindling orange fuzz, and his clothing isn’t rumpled.

Photos of The Queen, the Yorks and Harry at the garden party.

The Queen’s hat is very pretty. I love that she’s still so active and hardy at her age. I’m American, but enjoy her.

R400 I love the colours complemented , perfectly

The Duchess is under care at the moment. No, I'm not a Skippy. TTC will be too soon for her. She'll be showcased at some point. I think it is best that Prince Harry leaves the UK with her, and brings her to the US. I don't know how that will stand with their finances, though. They need to do something....it is getting too gossipy here, all knows something. But very little connects, because of legalities.

Meghan would be breaking her own new age-y, self-imposed bonding -cocooning time with newborn Archie if she attends Trooping. But hey a famewhore narcissist is going to do what needs to be done.

R404 What snark? The DM can be masters of snark, but there’s none in that piece.

There's a fine line between love and hate.

Meghan's envious haters miss her. She lives rent free in their minds. They're frothing at the mouth and scratching themselves like a drug addict in desperate need of a hit.

They are getting increasingly frustrated and angry "WHERE IS SHE!!? SHOW YOURSELF!!"

Both the York girls look appalling Their 93 year-old Gran looks better.

Megs will breastfeed on the balcony and break the internet.

R406 It's basically saying Kate has didn't miss Trooping the Colour even while on mat leave. It's goading Meghan to show her commitment to the BRF and her claims about being hardworking and modern.

It's also saying Kate bounced back in 3 weeks after Louis. Can Meghan match her?

R403 If you're posting content from Skippy and you're making CT claims from Skippy, then you're a Skippy.

Another clue is that you're posting content from Skippy at R387 and responding to your own post at R388 as if you're a different poster.

There are other Skippy fans. Don't disown your people.

R409, I think the BRF broke her. She wouldn’t dare, now.

Kate had no choice re the Sussex wedding, absent a bout of postpartum milk fever. Louis was born 23 April, so by the Trooping the Colour last year, Kate was closer to seven weeks past childbirth, as opposed to not quite a full month at the Sussex wedding. Kate looked much slimmer and more her normal self at the Trooping - in fact, she looked radiant and regal in her lovely blue with her RAF Brooch and high hat - you could still see a bit of postpartum belly on Kate at the Sussex wedding.

The true upper class knows the royal family is naff, according to this older documentary. Go to 3:25 mark it's pretty funny.

Keen used a surrogate and everyone knows it.

Truth will come out one day.

God I hope she doesn't show up to Trooping the Colour. I am enjoying the reprieve from her smug face.

She won't show herself until she has her pre-pregnancy body back again. Meghan has an actress's vanity, and she also has to compete with Kate, who is much taller and naturally thinner. I honestly don't have a problem with that. If I had the whole world judging the size of my ass, I wouldn't show it until it looked damn good.

Those tanned up liver spots gave Markle away, she'd been out of the country pre-baby reveal at Windsor. Is she back out, now?

Meghan will try to make Trooping all right, that is if she's able to lose the amount of weight needed for her to look comparable to Kate when she attended their wedding last year. If she's still carrying the weight gain around on her torso and face on top of looking very postpartum, then I think she's image-conscious enough to skip it. I'd love for her to skip it and then in next few months get pregnant again, so that she'll miss the next year's too. My cousin-on-law's sister managed to give birth within a span of 12 months so it can happen, it was unexpected because the stupid bitch thought she couldn't get pregnant so soon after giving birth to the first one.

Meghan couldn't post IG pictures of herself at a BP garden party because she's never been to one no?

Not counting last year's Charles at 70 where she and Harry only stuck around for 15 mins either.

R420 She went to one a few days after the wedding last year. Bet she was desperate to post some pics but got grief for doing so on Anzac Day.

R410 Yes, I can read what it’s saying. It’s not snark.

R421 Why wouldn’t you count that given that there are plenty of photos of her there?

R382 Yes the school mam/prairie dress is huge at the moment in London with the posh yummy mummy crowd. I quite like it.

Most of the Windsor women have big baps, so hang them out I say, who cares about uplifting bras, the aristo crowd let them swing in the breeze and I'm here for it.

R389 Susie Bicks husband just happens to be Nick Cave, one of the greatest artists of our time

I am personally not counting it because Her Majesty wasn't in attendance.

Thank you R414 for the hilarious video. All should watch, there is some delicious bitchery about the RF's naffness from Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen and Germaine Greer regarding the Queen's taste in interior decor and collectibles.

Having had a second look at Bea and Yuge at the garden party today (?) I've decided Bea doesn't look bad at all (and that was my comment earlier about big bosoms and looking matronly in the prairie/schoolmarm dresses).

Another brand that does the look in an ugly NYC hipster kind of way would be Batsheva, which I will link.

As we hunger for more cringey fuckery from cringe, perhaps we could reminisce about her banana slogans? My brain has actually blanked the specifics out completely, so tooth-grindingly awful were they. I will have a look at the Googles.

[407] what exactly is there to envy about Meghan? Having a life partner who’s a dunce? Meg is no Grace Kelly. Stunning and talented.

Wasn't there a lot of speculation that they left the Garden Party so quickly last year because they were asked or told to do so?

Ah, here we are. Google autocompleted after "what did meghan w" to what did "meghan write on bananas." Lol, I am not the only one wondering. Anyway:

"You are strong" - "You are special" - "You are brave" and my personal favourite: "You are loved." Because as we all understand, sex workers receiving care packages of chips and bananas are "loved." That's not a slam on sex workers, btw. Any normal person has nothing but sympathy for another human in such dire straits. It was just such a thoughtless thing for Duchess Kindness to write. And it gets to the heart of why I don't like her one bit. How tone deaf can you get? And it wasn't even well-meaning tone deafness. There were cameras there, and she knew it. Barf. Barf. Barf. Barf. She's doing what an astute poster noted of the general public in another thread - she's performing her identity. It's not about who she is. It's about who she's seen to be.

probably got told to leave cause they were taking attention away from Charles, that's the one thing that gets the apathetic man moving

You're welcome R425, I especially love the part on how Anne recycles her clothes and how the Queen Mum was downmarket as in "how downmarket can you get" looking like a Pearly Queen.

And what is with the tooth-sucking thing she does? I just rewatched the appearance at the garden party last year (well, the sashay anyway) and she's doing it there, too. I'm not even slyly implying she's a cokehead (or whatever drug you choose), it could be a tic of some kind or something else entirely. It's definitely something she does frequently, though.

[quote]Susie Bicks husband just happens to be Nick Cave, one of the greatest artists of our time

You don’t say!

LOL the video at R414. Thank you.

R414-That video is gold. I love how everyone describes toffs as chinless. It immediately made me think of Rose Cholmondeley, who is indeed a chinless wonder. R432-I wonder if the tooth sucking is dentures? If Markle had plastic surgery to reduce her jawline, maybe that messed up her teeth. She does seem to do it quite a bit.

Meghan wouldn't have been invited anyway. We won't be seeing her at state dinners. She's too far down the totem pole. She won't be getting the tiara events.

Factoid on Susie Bick and Nick Cave: their 15yo son took LSD and jumped off a cliff to his death a few years ago. Continued best wishes to them turning their grief into creative energy.

Regarding Melania's alleged escorting, of course, there's no evidence of criminal activity as the world of high end escorting depends on discretion and cash transactions. That was the basis for winning the lawsuits. There was also one against a small time blogger in Rhode Island. However, this doesn't mean that she didn't. You also have to consider that anything that comes out of the Trumps' mouths is likely to be prima facie false. Trump touted her degree in architecture, but she dropped out of university after a semester or two. Trump boasts that she speaks five languages, but it's really not clear that she does. She claimed to have written her speech for the Republican National Convention all by herself, but after getting caught out for plagiarizing Michelle Obama's speech from a years' prior DNC, an aide admitted it was she, not Melania who wrote it. And remarkably, she claims to not have had breast augmentation and tries to come off as being against cosmetic procedures as quoted in the attached article. Really?!

Anyway, more damning is her association with Paolo Zampolli whose modeling agency has been accused of being a cover for sex trafficking. She came to NY and had a tough time finding work due to her age; at 26 she was constantly losing jobs to younger models. How did she afford to live in NYC if she was working sporadically? Her former roommate, a photographer in the industry, has some very interesting observations in the GQ article. This stands out:

[quote]In New York, Melania lived a quiet, homebound life, taking assiduous care of her body: walks with ankle weights, seven pieces of fruit every day, diligently moisturizing her skin. She rarely partied, never brought anyone back to the apartment, and was always home early. “She didn’t go out to dance clubs; she’d go to Cipriani for dinner at ten and be home by one,” Atanian recalls. “Men she would go out with tended to be wealthier, the industrious, European type. They were Italians, playboys. But they’d go out for dinner and she’d be home before I was.”

Three or four hour dates with wealthy (probably older) types? Enough time for dinner and service. If these were romantic dates, wouldn't she be coming home in the morning or bringing a special gent home? Seriously, folks. We're adults here. Anyhow, the article is a very good read.

zzzz

R438 Who gives a fuck? This thread is about the BRF.

R435 I’ve also noticed the teeth sucking too. Definitely not dentures (have pro experience of these) - she has veneers. I think she had them redone just before the engagement. Any change in your mouth takes a while to get used to, and since she’s had veneers for many years (and now has to have them because her teeth would have been prepped for them) the teeth sucking has probably become a habit.

Nothing about the bint is real, not even her teeth.

Bea has her flaws, but the color of her isn't one.

Agree with R439 and add some zzzs.

Shorter version:

The York girls are dumpy but their profiles are rising. Meghan's a bigger whore than we thought. The Queen looks adorbs.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R436, would they not invite Smeg, just not let her raid HRH's jewelry box? After all, plenty of ladies attend who don't rate a tiara.

Did Fergie attend many state banquets?

If Smeg was invited, wouldn't it just emphasize her low status? Camilla, Sophie, and Kate would all be wearing tiaras and sashes and royal orders and necklaces & earrings with provenance. Meg would be wearing a poorly-fitting gown. Wouldn't she better off staying home than having it be so obvious how ill-favored she is?

R447's snobbery stinks like a putrid 3 day old corpse.

R443, agree on all points.

Harry does seem to be doing his usual schedule of appearances. I’m tempted to read something into it, but it’s probably just normal. Newborns are boring. It’s been said by many that the first year of marriage is the most challenging. I think it’s mostly true for couples who haven’t lived together or know each other for a while. For my spouse and me, it wasn’t any adjustment since we’d lived together for so long.

I can’t begin to imagine how rough it must be for Harry and Meg. They barely knew each other. And then they had the crazy whirlwind of the engagement/wedding/baby in little more than a year.

It must be stressful.

R448 So does your tongue, given the amount of time it spends up Markle’s ass.

'Earrings with provenance.'

Fucking moron.

I don't think any member of the RF can just show up for TOTC. They must be invited to attend.

So, the question isn't whether Sparkle will attend. The question is whether Sparkle will be invited to attend.

On another note, it's amusing to see Harry all neat and decked out for the Garden Party. Big contrast to his more recent tres rumpled appearance. Granny would never allow such slovenly appearance at her Garden Party. And Harry has said that his grandmother scares him. Hence the clean and neat Harry.

It’s Trooping the Colour - not Trooping OF the Colour.

Preparing tiaras for the Victoria Revealed exhibition

Queen Victoria's petticoat gets a bath. The video is the best part.

Good to see these frau threads slowing down as the racist haters are deprived of MM appearances.

I've blocked many posters, but there is always a daily mention by some nutter that H&M aren't living at Frogmore Cottage.

It's only a handful of nutters who spew conspiracies. First it's surrogate, then fake baby, and now not living at Frogmore. When proven wrong at each stage, they keep finding new conspiracies to trash Meghan. I can't stand that social-climbing, ghosting ho myself but she has plenty of fodder material for gossip and bitchery without people resorting to ridiculous conspiracies.

The York sisters public exposure has risen as MM's star has descended. I'll be quite surprised if Lord Overlord allows her at TTC this year after her disastrous pink, Lola she was a showgirl, off the shoulder number proudly exposing her tan lines. Seriously, I'll think them fools if they allow her that world stage.

I'm firmly in the 'real pregnancy', real baby' camp but I am not actually sure they are living at Frogmore. I really don't think she would move in somewhere that she didn't want.

The Duke of Windsor flew heavily smoked kippers over from England to France, every single day for breakfast. The Express really shouldn't be giving ideas to a certain someone.

Hmmm...where did 454 to 458 go? Must be those nattering hall monitors in a posting frenzy, or perhaps the Harry Styles/spazz troll?

Someone should create a poll with guesses as to the next month we will see MeMe - June, July or August? Will they be invited to church with the Queen over the summer? Or will it only be the christening?

Princess Anne The Princess Royal adores Fruit Salard.

Good idea R462, maybe the next thread can start with the poll? I reckon it's going to be a long wait...I'll go for August.

Some of the glossies that MM dishes to are hinting that she will fly to the US within weeks, so we will probably see her in the press there, if true. I can't see her partaking in any royal engagements soon.

The Queen Mother smuggled bottles and bottles of champagne into hospital when she went in for a hip operation.

We don't need a poll to guess when the jerk will pop up. It's great not seeing her lightweight garbage floating around. I do hope she decamps to the US and leaves the British in peace. I am kind of rooting for Prince Dim to pull away from her but that would be best outcome for him so of course he won't do it.

Always cheering on Lord Geidt, sanity master.

Prep for the ‘Victoria: A Royal Childhood' exhibition .

Is it true Smegs is locked up in the Tower of London?

I think Bea is actually kind of attractive with her extreme features, and I liked her look at the garden party.

Yes R469, she is, look!

R470 Bea is unproblemmatic as they say, and a good grandaughter to the Queen. She seems happy and loved by her family and is reliable, things chicken legs Markle will never have.

R474 please see the previous post @R473.

Charlotte resembles a young Diana in these photos.

The Queen watching TV.

Anyone know who the baby and parents are here? Perhaps the Queen was godmother to this child.

Mountbatten family perhaps? Doesn't Anne resemble the old lady?

R460, same here. The only “conspiracy theory” I find credible is the one about her not living at FrogCott. Why is that so outlandish?

If it’s crazy to wonder if she’s really living there, guess I’m crazy...

Ladies and gents all dolled up for the horse races.

Archie is no longer listed on the www.royal.uk website.

Remember when he was listed directly under Elizabeth and above Philip?

The Cambridge kids have “features”, but crickets on Archie.

The ruffled dress trend isn't a favorite of mine.

Past its sell by date, just like the Duchess.

R484, and stuffed to bursting, like her dresses.

R475 Both were posted within seconds of each other. R473 wasn't up when I hit post. There's no way to take it down so there's little point in highlighting a repetitive post. These threads are full of repetition so I'll assume you're just being a dick, in which case you can fuck off.

She managed to get her name in the last line, right at the end! Never lets us down...

Audiences for the Queen.

Thank you, R486.

Between the incessant trolling by the Harry Styles/spazz troll and the pro Sugar troll, we do not need hall monitoring from the rest. Clear attempts to close these threads and to control discussion on them shows that the work of Sunshine Sachs is both ineffectual and as pathetic as the thinning of Hairloss Harold (Styles or Dim, take your pick).

Local poster, you were going to scope out Frog Cot for any signs of life on your way back from the airport. We await your boots on the ground report.

Oof, R487. Bet she wrote his remarks for this one too. Had to toot her own horn and all that.

A trip to the States would surely show how little interest people, excepting her own PR, take in her, as did the trip to NY.

Please go away soon. To a place without a wifi connection, preferably.

Princess Anne and the Gurkhas, today, in Bulford, Salisbury.

......

R489 - No one is trying to control anything. I've just noticed that duplicate posts are happening FAR TOO MUCH on this thread. If someone posts here, is it too much to ask for him/her to take a quick glance through the previous posts so they don't post the same story/photo?

The Queen's cousin, Princess Alexandra of Kent was in Lancaster yesterday.

Kate Middleton, Queen Letizia and Queen Maxima to reunite at the Order of the Garter ceremony on June 17th at Windsor Castle.

Someone will be jealous.

Harry, I see, is out and about ensuring that no one forgets the Sussex brand or that the Sussexes are "senior working royals".

It's clear that we're seeing more of the York girls, and I doubt that that is casual. We'll have a better idea after MeAgain is Again With Us. Have the Yorks been called in on a stopgap basis as Meghan takes maternity leave, or are have the BRF at last decided they need the York girls at the second-tier working royal level so that Eugenie, at least, can become the future Pss. Alexandra and the Wessexes and Glouncesters?

If the York girls, especially Eugenie, continue to make appearances after MeAgain gets out in front of the cameras again, I think it will support a couple of theories: one, that the BRF doesn't want MeAgain sucking all the air out of the BRF's public stage, and/or two, the BRF know that the Sussexes are going to be around only so long and are preparing to supplement their resources - it also possibly supports the Africa Plan - the Sussexes being booted out of the UK for a long period of time.

Meghan is going to be 38 this summer. I think she'll find that with the engagement, the wedding, the necessary baby/christening, the New Girl on the Block frenzy will start to fade.

R493 People can ignore repetition and posts they hate. This is a multi-part thread where people repeat the same shit ad nauseam. If that upsets you then find a different sandbox.

Who remembers Fergie and Bea on the catwalk in 2007? The second photo is better than the first.

It rained on their parade!

Just noticed that god awful handrail at Buckingham Palace.

R500 Funny, I was obsessed looking at it yesterday. Do you think its been there forever? Clutched at by royalty of the past? If they can't change it they need to paint it in an opulent and ornate gold, lol . It's like something outside a care home.

R476, not really. I see more of a resemblance to Pippa Middleton and HM.

" Can we get ice-cream on the way home? "

" That's an odd looking cow. "

R503-You really see there just how much weight La Markle piled on. I love that conspiracy theorists insist she had a surrogate because she didn't want to ruin her figure, but in the same breath maintain she gained weight to pad the con, as it were. I sarcastically asked someone if Hazbean showed the world a doll and then ran out the room frantically looking for a baby to adopt, and she replied - dead seriously, - "Exactly."

R498-some things are best left in the past. Fergie looks absolutely tickled with herself. Poor Bea had enough self awareness to look completely uncomfortable, poor dear.

Who can forget this headache inducing number?

Did Camilla eat both of these ice creams?

Camilla looks good here.

Another nice outfit for the Duchess of Cornwall.

I can't decide if the York girls intentionally dress awfully because they know they can't carry off fashion or if they're genuinely that sartorially inept. Diana may have called Camilla the Rottweiler, but she's actually a handsome woman (Farrah Fawcett hair, be damned), and she carries off serious jewels extraordinarily well.

R504 had me dying laughing. We need MORE of those. The giggles were the best part.

As he usually does when he visits Canada, Prince Andrew spent some time at his old school Lakefield.

R496, that’s another interesting sideshow to watch. The Firm seemed as though it was sidelining the Yorkies. Their press has always given me the impression that they were layabouts with nominal jobs, but it seems that they’re becoming more useful for events and picking up the slack.

Are they Plan B? I hope so.

A little piece hidden in a Sebastian Shakespeare article.

R515 - My favorite line: "some openly sneered at the ugliness of the modern windows"...

R515 - my other favorite line: "The Duchess of Sussex was cruelly reminded of her status in the royal pecking order"...

R515 - this is a good one too: "refurbished cottage now has the bland appearance of the care home in Bognor".

I've just remembered we will see the Sussex Royal Insta all over the news again in two days when Yoko Fire-crotch reshuffles her format and promotes a different set of causes, with a few friends' businesses thrown in, again.

Nacho is defending Harry's environmentalism.

[quote] Prince Harry made an environmental plea to a hotel he was staying at the night before his polo game, revealed his close friend. Nacho Figueras claimed Prince Harry asked the hotel to not use plastic after he was given a plastic coffee stirrer and received his shirt in a large plastic bag. Prince Harry played in the Sentebale St Regis team, where Mr Figueras was captain.

Say no to plastic.

Harry sounded very gay at that announcement LOL R504

Harry reads his press.

[quote] Prince Harry once asked a member of his press team why a headline reported he “met five virgins” in Nepal, revealed a royal correspondent. Rhiannon Mills, who wrote the article, claimed Prince Harry “reads and watches everything”. Speaking on ‘Behind the Headlines’ podcast, the Sky News correspondent recollected: “I for a while didn’t appreciate how much everything that I write or record or broadcast, they do watch. Prince Harry once, it was one of his press team, I said ‘oh, is he having a nice time? We’re in Nepal.’

[quote] “They said ‘yeah he’s having a great time, he did ask me this morning Rhiannon why your headline says Prince Harry meets five virgins.’ And I said ‘well that was a headline that was put on by the team back in the UK.’

[quote] “And he had met five young ladies and, in Nepalese, their title did translate into English as ‘five virgins’.”

[quote]Sky News presenter Tom Macleod remarked: “Bet that was a fun phone conversation you had with the news desk.”

[quote] Ms Mills continued: “But Prince Harry, he reads everything, watches everything.”

R522 - I suspect Meghan reads her own press as well hence the "friends" talking to People and Gayle King. These self-involved fame whores really do deserve each other.

Maybe she’s dead? When last was she seen?

I absolutely loathe privileged rich fuckers who play environmentalism all while enjoying global travels and the best of the best.

R520 - Harry sounds like a spoiled, entitled prat. He sure doesn't practice what he preaches.

Good one R515.

I know R525, it's like those laughable claims that Prince Charles, who lives in the very lap of luxury, is 'frugal' because he asks his tailor to save cut-off fabric from the bespoke suits that are made for him.

Meghan planning a trip with Archie this summer...to NYC.

R529 - does she need another baby shower to hawk more merchandise?

Why the hell would she be going to NYC - unless to merch and work on the brand?

R476 Charlotte doesn't resemble Diana at all IMO, she looks way more like a young Kate with a bit of William thrown into the mix. Young Diana's nose was already quite long with high bridge in that comparison photo, whereas Charlotte's nose is shorter and her bridge is flatter. Charlotte's eyes are smaller and have a slight downturn at the outer corners (like William) which George also has but his eyes are bigger. Of all the Cambridge children, she has the smallest yet most expressive eyes.

The Sussexes are famewhores, straight and simple. Both read their own press coverage and they try to preempt negative coverage e.g. the truth, by crying privacy. Then the pathologic need to interject their names and titles into everything is indicative of how transparently stupid they are. It goes beyond humble brag that well-adjusted people do from time to time, it's pathological. Harry lapping up all of his own press coverage, I remember reading something about Harry telling someone that gay press coverage made him out to be a hottie. But then later on someone told Harry that it was sort of exaggerated, and then he seemed let down that he wasn't thought to be the desirable hottie that he considered himself to be. I wonder what Harry makes of the truth slowing coming out about Meghan, especially this past week with Made In Chelsea/ find me a famous or rich British man, that sort of thing should make a man rethink the relationship. But seeing as he's just as much of a famewhore as she is, he's probably just finding ways to justify their narcissism and may even think of her as victim, and by extension himself as victim too.

We'll see Charles and Camilla at the 75th DD Celebrations.

Top photo shows the fathers of the girls in the bottom photo. Freddie has red haired Maud, Will has dark haired Charlotte and Peter has blonde Savannah.

Camilla has lost a little weight I think. You can see they're getting ready for the big show.

A reply from Eugenie and Jack.

R532 I agree with the gist of what you’re saying, but Harry’s been a prince since birth. I highly doubt he’s impressed by his own title at this stage.. He’s all about photo opportunities with children and elderly people so he gets the “People’s Prince” crap from the tabs and Twitter cretins.

The insistence on using titles is all Meghan. She is 100% responsible for every word of the IG syrup...I doubt she even consults him about it.

Harry was extended a generous swathe of goodwill by the public because of what happened with Diana when he was young. But as he has gone about showing the type of person he is as an adult, by every measure he makes plain he is nothing more than a spoiled obnoxious prat. Sick of his beady-eyes and unkempt appearances.

R515 - that is a delicious bit in S. Shakespeare's article. They would never have done that to Kate and William. Perhaps it willl help ease Harry's and Meghan's way out. Perhaps that's what it was intended to do. Perhaps the BRF all along has had a gut feeling that the Sussexes weren't in it for the long haul, and (as always) without coming out and saying so, made their unwillingness to make more than a middling investment in them clear in the standard code.

Is Nacho Figueras as dim as his BFF? I mean, is that quote a pisstake? He noticed plastic stirring straws and, due to his extreme concern for the environment, asked the hotel to stop using plastic? And then got on a plane and flew back to the UK, from which he had just flown in 48 hours before? This is not the second time Harry has openly gotten berate-y about environmental concerns and I'm sorry but it just makes me want to burst out laughing when these extremely well traveled royals do that. There is little individuals can do that is more harmful to the environment than air travel. Harry can fuck right off.

And yes, absolutely delicious quote about FrogCott. The comments on the window were fingertip-kissingly snobby/bitchy. Mmmmm, perfection.

R460 and R480, I third your opinions that a fake baby or pregnancy would be truly shocking (and I don't believe either occurred), Haz and Rach not living at FrogCott would not be. I suppose all 3 of us will soon be labeled the Frogcott Troll. Bring it on, Troll Troll! I don't think it's that outlandish to believe an extremely wealthy family with multiple residences might be allowing Hazbean to stay elsewhere - especially if they kicked up a big fuss about privacy and the baybeeeeee.

Interesting thing is, if they're not at FrogCott I'd bet money the media knows it. Have we seen any between-the-line type comments from them? Is that exquisite bitchery about windows and care homes an example? Rubbing it in because they know Hazbean won't actually deny being there? I dunno, maybe they are there. I don't know. I just wouldn't be surprised if they weren't. Even now we've seen Meg's disastrous PR instincts I'm still slightly surprised they were given such an obvious booby prize as Frogcott. Those planes, that proximity to public areas, that total lack of grandeur. It really does seem like a message. And if it was, it seems to have been one that was heartfelt as far back as the pre-wedding or wedding period.

Harry was virtually giddy with glee at flashing his eco credentials in front of the cameras for the "Charles at 70" doc, bragging how he constantly is turning off lights to the bemusement of his wife.

Harry's apparent hotel bill for Rome was £33,000....he can just eff right off.

And his wife's presents for guests ( merching alert) at her NYC baby shower were huge chunks of plastic......suitcases. What a pair of idiots.

R540, and of course, it was GAYLE, the Royal Correspondent, he was blowing sunshine all over. It doesn’t matter what Nacho says, Harry and Meghan’s actions say more than any Sunshine Saccharine interview can.

Can’t His Royal Highness decree a plastic ban to go along with his Fortnite ban?

The more the Sussex Shit Stirrers open their mouths, the less I like them.

Not the most flattering photo.

The Queen with her cousin Princess Alexandra of Kent.

Harry and The Queen talking to guests at the Buckingham Palace garden party yesterday. The Queen is like the Energizer Bunny - she just keeps going, and going and going....LOL.

R549, the queen knows that if she croaks, the nation will fall apart. She’s staying alive as long as she can for the good of her country.

We need someone to make a graphic of Harry as Joan Crawford screeching “NO PLATIC STIRRERS!!!”

^^ PLASTIC

Jesus Christ. We need an edit function.

Hahahahaha R551. PLEASE someone do it , even just for the amusement of us two, lmao

More renovations at Frogmire.

So are they just pocketing this money for Frogmore? Because this is getting ridiculous when we know they ain't there

R556 Who is this “we” who know they ain’t (sic) there?

I'm a "we".

Re r554. See? Remember they delayed their move-in because the vegetable garden wasn’t finished? (As if that’s a valid reason.)

There’s always going to be some reason they can’t live there. Her Royal Highness, Princess of the United Kingdom can’t very well live in a construction zone with a newborn can she? All the noise and dust and workers invading their privacy! The organic paint dried down to the wrong shade of grey and will have to be redone. That drywall installed looked at me. Sack the team and find a new contractor who knows how to hire people who know their place. I can wait. It has to be PERFECT FOR ARCHIE.

She’ll keep moving the goalposts. Wait and see. She will never make Frogmore her home.

They'll have to get sound proof windows and doors because Virgin Yoko and Baby Jesus can't be disturbed.

Please F and F the notorious Welp Troll at R490. She is homophobic and a Skippie.

Always says 'oof', 'ouch', 'welp', 'meh' or 'eh'.

Really disgusting, notorious poster who accuses all who disagree with her of being 'paid shills'.

R556 You don’t know they’re not there. If you do, can you share the evidence please?

Hint: “Anonymous person x on x forum says so” isn’t evidence.

Haha, I’ve also written “oof”, and I’m not r490. You’ve accused me of being the “welp” troll and this post is the first time I’ve ever typed the word. Maybe some people just use the same words sometimes.

MM lived at Notts Cottage happily for a year and that only had two bedrooms so I don't see why she would be unhappy with the much more spacious Frogmore.

R561 - I think we can make up our own mind on who to block, thank you very much. We may not find what he/she said as offensive as you did.

R562, if there’s evidence that Harry and Meghan and Archie are living together at Frogmore Cottage, please share.

As long as repairs need to be made, they don’t have to move in. We Americans are more adept at spotting hustlers.

It’s impossible to prove a negative, i.e., that they’re not living at Frogcott. I don’t give a damn, but I have yet to see a scintilla of eidence that shows they *are* living there. Why has none of the steady steam of visitors not been pictured at the cozy new home? I love to show off my decorating.

Why would Meghan take Archie to NYC? I's the media capital of where it matters in her mind, and where a paps can be easily assembled to create an international scene. I think too that L.A. reminds her of failure because she never made it as an actress there, and the fact that her childhood L.A. roots were humble, which isn't a good think in her book.

But wait! They didn’t get Adelaide Cottage?

The general idea was that they'd get a country home and London accommodations. The Sussex couple ended up with the old servant lodging under heathrow flights with public access right up close.

That isn't what someone expects when they marry the son of the future king, someone that's supposed to be a visible senior working royal until the cambridge kids get much older.

That's something you are given when your nan thinks your wife is as dodgy as fuck, and it's not going to last.

R566 All the evidence suggests that Meghan and Harry are living at Frogmore. The Sussexes have listed it as their official residence on the son's birth certificate. The press reported heavily when they moved from Kensington to Frogmore. The British tabloids have no love or loyalty to the Sussexes. If they had received millions from the Sovereign Grant and then decided to shack up somewhere else, the tabloids would have a field day.

The Queen is sometimes photographed riding or driving but beyond that, she isn't seem walking or gardening on her Windsor estate. The same can be said of most of the royal family. They have areas of privacy.

That's not to say the Sussexes are always at Frogmore. They may have been away while Frogmore House was open to the public.

More renovations to make perfect for Archie? Archie is a newborn, he couldn't give a fuck about anything other than titties, milk, having his soiled diapers changed, and sleeping while dreaming of titties. No, the renovations are for his parents who are embarrassed that they live in a former servants' residence.

r492, I've heard heroic stories about the ghurkas. Please share!

R547, sad. Not sure where Meg needs a consult first. I think the skin is the biggest problem, but the hair is pretty bad. Longer term, the nose and jaw need work but that's major surgery.

There are multiple conflicting reports in mainstream media around the time of the wedding that the Queen had given the Harkles either York Cottage or Adelaide Cottage. Yet they landed at Frogmore, announced in November. How did that happen? Did the Queen have trouble making up her mind? Did she forget which cottage she had given them? Did her press secretary make a typo?

I’d bet that neither pile was satisfactory and there was some... negotiating. The Queen said “Meghan will take what she’s given”.

Ergo, the endless renovations and delays moving in for good. And I predict Meghan will not take what she’s given. Tungsten will leave the country before she settles in meekly.

R554, So the first 4 million pounds (not dollars - pounds) weren't sufficient for her vapidness, the Duchsex of Excess?

R561 Ahh! The notorious Troll Troll! Instead of F and F-ing, fellow royal gossipers, we must all send vibes of zen and peace to R561, lest our low class welping and oofing cause them further injury. Anyone who ignores my order will b mercilessly F and F-ed themselves (please do let me know you are disobeying, though, so I can carry out the punishment). Troll Troll, do some breathing exercises or something. OOF! WELP!

R575 I have it on good authority (the voices) that young Master Archie finds the walls and windows in FrogCott APPALLING. The mite cares not for the contents of his nappies as long as he is forced to gaze upon the horror that is plastic framed windows. (confession: I do not actually know what poors frame their windows in, despite being a poor myself - oh dear!)

Shit her skin is so bad and that was before baby. On top of also dealing with Markle fat genes, no wonder she had a post-pregnancy contract with ex Trevor. Her childhood photos show her to be prone to chubbiness and the manner in which she put on top-heavy weight during pregnancy was frankly quite impressive.

Meghan is like the character Kitty Pong from Crazy Rich Asians, the actress social climber who latched onto the youngest son Alistair because she thought him to be rich. She then had to be set straight about who she needs to fuck (never the youngest son) if she wants to be crazy rich. I suspect Meghan had $$$ in her eyes when she hooked up with Harry, but now reality is sinking in that he'll always be the one not set to inherit everything.or close to everything.

R578 - The inside story of how FrogCott came to be bestowed upon Ginge and Cringe is one I would very much love to hear. I find Meghan awful and quite obvious in her awfulness. I cannot, however, deny that there is a contingent who are charmed and beguiled by the Insta duchess, and I therefore also cannot deny that some of this contingent might reside in royal palaces. I.e. maybe Queenie and/or Charlie and/or whoever else matters actually likes this bint.

But Frogcott, even to the stans, seems unambiguously second rate when better properties WERE available. It is FrogCott itself that makes me think HM isn't as loathe to send direct signals as it sometimes appears she is.

Welp.

Off.

Ow.

Biff.

Bam.

Urgh.

I don’t think hippieish L.A. would be hospitable for the royal couple. They would do betteramong the more status-conscious socialites of the Upper East Side. Papers hinted she was looking there.

Do you bitches know how LIP SMACKINGLY DELICIOUS it would be if they *actually* left the RF?

R581 I don't disagree with you but it's my personal suspicion that Megsy has always cared more about being famous and admired than about $. Not that she doesn't care anout $, she just reeks of Angelina Jolie and whatever damage or personality issues it was with her that led to her desperate need to be seen to be the Best and Most Loved Humanitarian Who Ever Humanitarianed And Also Most Loved By Poors and Most Likely To Weep Hot Tears Over The Suffering Of Others AKA Most Empathetic On Earth Ever And Also Most Beautiful We Will Never Be As Amazing As Her Oh Lord Isn't She Amazing.

Lastly, to the poster who suggested a meme of Harry and the plastic stirrers in the manner of NO MORE WIRE HANGERS - yes, please, can someone do this? Any trump fans here? I hear you people are good with the memes. Pls help!

PS. Welp.

r583, that would be fascinating!

Does Meghan not know how we live cheek by jowl with the Poors here? She’d be heckled on the street. Or, worse, ignored. And she’d never be able to compete with the serious money here. She’d likely be the least wealthy (although best titled) at whatever function she attended.

What kind of place could they possibly afford? Maybe the Queen would allow them to live in her UN-area apartment...

The next thread Part 64 is up. I've included a poll. Please fill up this thread before using the new one. Thanks.

R584, I see your point but there are critical distinctions. 1st of all Angelina is independently wealthy. She may be batshit crazy, but she can do whatever she wants with her own money. Meg is wealthy by marriage. 2nd of all, Angelina probably is a little bit batshit crazy. She cares about her image but in a "Maleficent - the Movie!" kind of way. She's fine with being the bad girl as long as she's perceived as powerful and sexy and full of personal agency. Meg, OTOH, is thirsty for admiration, but more in the GOOP sort of way. She wants to be universally admired for having all the right thoughts, all the right positions, all the right looks. Unfortunately, she's been revealed to be a thirsty whore who married the dumb prince, can't even cook toast, and isn't pretty when pregnant. She annoys the bejesus out of the people who pay her salary. She inserts herself where she isn't wanted. She's self-important and doesn't seem to understand how viscerally disliked she is. She's the diarrhea of the royal family, and those of us who don't like her are accused of being racists who need a high colonic.

Does NYC society still care about titled Europeans? I gather from reading about 1960s NY society that it was sort of a big deal but I'm sensing now it's all about hefty wealth (billions not millions) first and foremost and other attributes second. Between NYC and LA it's the latter that would be more impressed with titled, trashy Europeans.

R588, I think Meghan doesn’t have any goal except to be better than everyone.

R588 for PM!

Harry looks pissed off but this guy is more interested in his phone.

R589, there's the recent Anna Sorokin story. She was a Russian famewhore who faked being of some kind of German wealth. The truly wealthy got bored of her and saw through her after a while, but she apparently grifted along. She's a bit of a Russian Markle.

Yes a convicted felon/Russian-born imposter is JUST LIKE MEGHAN MARKLE. Seriously, if you people could see what you look like to the rest of the world, you'd die of embarrassment.

Good Lord, how is Meghan like Anna Sorkin? Meghan may be annoying, grasping and a social climber, but so far there's no evidence she's a criminal.

To the idiot asking for evidence that they are living in Frogmore Cottage - like what? If they are there, it’s surrounded by armed police. Do you seriously expect anyone to be able to hang around in the garden and get photos for you? Get real.

And here’ve a very basic logic lesson for you - the person making the claim has the evidential burden,. That’s you.

You claimed to know they are not living there - I simply asked for your evidence. Rather than being an intelligent person of integrity and admitting you don’t actually have any you stooped to the level every uneducated cretin does and tried to turn it back on asker.

I don’t know where they are. How would I? You’re claiming you do...so present your evidence or admit yu have none.

It’s people like you who have utterly destroyed this thread and I really wish you’d fuck off.

This?

Alex if this is Jeopardy, I'll take "Grasping, self-important, and fake personal promotions for $1,000!" "Who is Meghan Markle?" Wait - is the Daily Double that Russian grifter girl?

I think the proof that they aren't living at Froggy Hollow is Mad Meg's PR piece claiming anyone seen lurking will " be shot on sight".

They live in Frogmore House and the Queen just gifted them with a white pony for the young master.

R595, Are you saying that "annoying, grasping and a social climber, but so far there's no evidence she's a criminal" isn't enough?

How far must we lower our standards, then?

I can't wait for the British press to let RIP with what hey are sitting on. Please god, let's not have to wait for too long. Some very tongue in cheek stuff going on , now, but they are being loyal. To a point. These threads will go haywire, once the current shitshow starts to dilute.

They not hey. *le sigh*
