They're MARRIED!

It really does suck for her. Maybe they're planning a huge reception after the pandemic.

On the other hand, what with her father's troubles, maybe having to have a small wedding was for the best.

Color me shocked. I did not believe he would go through with this.

Wonderful. Now he can dip into the Royal gene pool.

[QUOTE] in front of Queen and Prince Andrew at secret Royal Wedding in Windsor

Andrew? That’s who you really want to see in your wedding pictures.

It IS her father, R4.

Much better idea even without covid etc....the last thing they needed was a spectacle.

I wonder if The Queen has witnessed a marriage before.

[quote] Color me shocked.

That's my normal look.

I'm happy for them. A big, splashy wedding can be such an entertainment, but their marriage faced so many hurdles that a small, private wedding ensures the more important elements are still in place. They're already living together, and it was wonderful that Bea's grandparents were able to attend in relative safety. She's never deserved to suffer for her parents' misdeeds.

Awwww. I'm happy for Bea.

What R2 said. I thought he buggered off back in March.

Seriously, having the Queen herself act as the official witness to your wedding is very fucking cool.

I doubt she's ever done that before in all her 94 years.

Once a str8 couple starts looking like each other you know it's on.

[quote] having the Queen herself act as the official witness to your wedding is very fucking cool.

We thought so too.

I don’t understand why anyone would want that huge public wedding. This seems like a gift to them - not having the pressure of being on stage. Unless they are attention whores - which isn’t the vibe I get. Goldigger maybe.

R8 I hope the kids get their mom’s beautiful eyes.

The queen has witnessed all manner of outrage and travesty in her life.

But it's rare for her to acknowledge it and affirm it with her name.

Does this sudden ceremony mean that Bea is PREGGERS??!!??

[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'm shocked, I thought she'd hold out of the big white wedding, coach, the whole enchilada....

However, with the arrest of Ghislaine (or however you spell it), perhaps the BRF anticipates that things are about to go from bad to worse for Andrew and that perhaps Bea should enjoy this brief calm before the storm to get married.

How nice for you.

Bea just earned the respect of the entire Nation by forgoing the horse-drawn carriage and circus of the last Royal Wedding. There's no appetite for that kind of expense right now. Good for her.

Married, and at a sacrifice, will increase her popularity when the government announces that Princess Beatrice will be stepping in a Regent soon.

We will get photos, though, won't we? I want to see the dress.

R22 like she had a choice...

The show [italic]must[/italic] go on, Edo.

Meghan just got up in LA, and is now gnashing her teeth and screaming at the housekeepers because of the now lost opportunity for her to show up at Bea's wedding in premature pregnancy garb.

Good for them. I wonder if they filmed it. Hope they at least post pictures. I also want to see her dress.

[quote]I'm shocked, I thought she'd hold out of the big white wedding, coach, the whole enchilada....

With fate's evident enjoyment of throwing Bea a curveball she would have been about seventy by the time the enchilada was put together.

Mind you, the Queen could've still been there.

[quote] I also want to see her dress.

So you can copy it, gurl and wear it round the house?

They've already updated their wiki pages!

[quote]Good for them. I wonder if they filmed it. Hope they at least post pictures. I also want to see her dress.

Oh, count on at least a photobomb on Fergie's Insta. She'll be crushed she couldn't make gawp faces before a big press rope line.

Her WIKI pic is so strange she looks about 11

So is he "Prince Beatrice" now, or is she "Countess Mozzi"

There won't be a photo until tomorrow so as not to overshadow Captain Tom Moore's knighthood ceremony

[quote]She'll be crushed she couldn't make gawp faces before a big press rope line.

They must be so relieved not to have had her and all her strangeness all over the fucking place.

Wow- that is seriously thoughtful. Capt. Tom's knighthood is important to many people in the country.

Well played all round, Bea!

Chris Ship is a rather handsome older man, R35.

[quote]So you can copy it, gurl and wear it round the house?

Sure, why not.

Chris again.

[quote] I also want to see her dress.

Me too. Apparently Bea's eyes lit up when she saw it.

Hello, the Mail and OK will be chock-a-block with wedding photos on Sunday. Patience, ladies.

This is nice for Bea. I'm glad.

It's very good of Bea to let Tom Moore get his time in the spotlight.

This is how it's done. Not like the other fame whore whom I won't mention.

Your move, Megs!

[quote]This is how it's done. Not like the other fame whore whom I won't mention.

You just did. And you will. Again and again and again.

The day's not over yet, r45. Meghan is, right this minute, trying to make the UK evening prints with some inanity or other.

Her name actually wasn't mentioned (Fame Whore isn't a name, it's a thing) but YOU knew who I was talking about, didn't you?

ZZZzzzzzaaaap!

We all know who you were talking about, r48.

If Urban Dictionary was an honest venture, Megs photo would now replace Kim Kardashian's next to the definition of "Fame Whore"

No, I know who YOU were talking about, R48, because the site is constantly polluted with such insane ravings, but carry on.

The Queen and Philip still being around is another compelling reason to do the wedding as they did. As much as I love a good royal wedding with all the trimmings, I agree they did the right thing all around.

Meghan is SO pissed right now.

Harry's still sleeping last night off, but when he finally wakes from her screams at the nanny....

Good decision. Wasn’t Sarah there?

[quote]Wow- that is seriously thoughtful. Capt. Tom's knighthood is important to many people in the country.

They're ready for him.

(this is NOT a joke pic)

They should have Charles do the knighting, and all other public functions, as he very likely has the antibodies and is safe to be around.

Who would leave a Georgian chair, covered in Georgian brocade, out in the sun like that? CRIMINAL!

R56 I know, but I imagine it will be most meaningful to (almost) Sir Tom to receive his knighthood from the Queen. What a beautiful story, warms the cockles of my cold cynical heart.

It's now Colonel Tom Moore. Well deserved.

[quote]Your move, Megs!

@PeteyR13 · 1h

Replying to @chrisshipitv Nice to see they kept ceremony under wraps. Everyone knows that had Meghan and Harry found out it was happening today, they'd be dropping naked pics of themselves poolside at Perry's, blame drone invasion, and threaten lawsuit all by noon to distract from it.

Mazel tov!

This was absolutely the best thing they could have done. I suspect Bea will reap the benefits from her humble acquiescence for years to come.

Has anyone seen my wedding invitation?

r60 Megs is literally two steps away from exactly that.

She has an ultra-shallow spirit, which plainly YEARNS for a reality show life. She aspires to Kardashians.

I love you bitches! I came here expecting to read a whole lotta snark, but it's mostly well-wishes for the happy couple. I wish them well too and I'm very happy for Bea. I prefer small, intimate weddings myself, so I like that they did it this way.

Well done, Bea!

And the frosting on that cake is waiting a day (for Capt Tom's knighthood) to release pictures from the wedding.

Nicely done, nicely done!

R60 - do photos of Archie with Doria count?

The Queen must be very pleased Bea did it this way. I’m sure she appreciates what a sacrifice that was for her.

But from the practical point of view, it’s much easier for all of them. This way, her father could walk her down the aisle and go to the reception without controversy, her mother could be her weird self without scandal, her grandparents could attend without having to fear their health. They probably had to quarantine for weeks ahead so anyone could come. And maybe the lack of press and family only is a relief for them. It’s like a wartime wedding.

I’m wondering how living through all this is going to affect the next generation. I’m kind of hoping this next generation will learn self sacrifice, like the Greatest Generation, from all this. The effects will be with us for a long time.

R66, qualifies in my opinion. That’s kinda sad.

R66, she must be spitting nails and desperate. That kid is her trump card.

Well said, r67

r60 Doria's got a gorgeous body for a 65 year old. Her legs are FAR better than her daughter's!

"The Daily Mail reader comments are as cunty as DL on a bad day."

R19 - Most commentators posting at The Daily Fail are AstroTurf Trolls.

Little Beatrice Happy At Last!

Was Virginia Roberts Giuffre in attendance?

Although I think Edo is a cad, I still wish the best for these two. She looks hopelessly in love.

No, they're not, r72.

Much as you sugars would like to think so.

Wrong r72

Nearly everybody in the UK completely loathes them.

Him more than her, though.

She's Just Another Expensive Whore.

He is an actual betrayal

I wish her all the best and she had lovely weather for her pre-divorce ceremony too!

[quote]She looks hopelessly in love.

You mean hopelessly RELIEVED that she got one to the alter.

R19, you weren’t kidding. I don’t like the mean ones about her, but whatever. This ‘granny on FB’ one is my favorite:

“ Congratulations. Please Beatrice, have your thyroid checked out.”

r78, She's one of the very few Princesses of the United Kingdom.

She's had her pick of men all her life.

R78, I was trying to be nice, but yes.

This reminds me of a certain family member whose mother urged her to take anything she could get. Because it’s better to be a divorcee than a spinster. (She’s not wrong, but oof!)

R66 Doria looks amazing in those photos. She’s 63 years old!

I am happy Beatrice found a special way to have her big day. I felt so sorry for her after the Clark guy dumped her. I hope he is as into her as she is to him, her face literally lights up whenever she looks at him. Blessings to them both

Beatrice's problem has not been her bulging Queen Victoria eyes or her horse mouth.

It's been the intense security profile every man she ever dated must pass.

Count Mozzi must have passed, otherwise the Queen would never have stood witness to their wedding.

Ugly, badly bunioned feet.

Now she and Eugenie need to get going on birthin’ babies. They’re no spring chickens.

Has he seen her without makeup? It won’t end well.

Women with bunions are Karens

"In the presence of the Queen" doesn't mean the Queen acted as witness.

As R67 pointed out, this was the perfect solution. Avoids the controversies surrounding Bea's parents, avoids accusations of excess in a time of austerity and uncertainty, allows her grandparents to be there, and is done so quickly and quietly that the Sussexes can't step on her spotlight. Nicely done, Bea.

R76, no, people don't loathe them. People don't really have an opinion about them.

ooohhhhh the Megstan sugar at r89 is burned by the fact that the QUEEN gave Bea something that she did not give to Meghan...

The photos of Archie are an obvious bid for attention on Bea's special day, but since the Sussexes were almost certainly not given advance word of the wedding, Meghan didn't have time to come up with anything better. By the time she does, Bea will have had her moment. Again, nicely done by the BRF.

Ummm.

Yes. Everyone loathes them.

Sorry, r91.

Meghan's not that devious for heavens sake.

R95 has NOT been paying attention, clearly.

"There won't be a photo until tomorrow so as not to overshadow Captain Tom Moore's knighthood ceremony"

I don't understand this sentence. Could someone translate?

R95, she’s not. Like most borderlines, she acts on impulse and with her “emotions”, which are unregulated. If she’d put any thought and planning into what she did, she’d be a lot better off.

Bea's wedding hit the news at noon UK time. The picture of Archie dropped at 5:30 AM California time, about 90 minutes after the wedding announcement.

Coincidence? I think not.

No nutter at r92, I'm in no way, shape or form a Megstan, but people seem to be confusing "in the presence of" with "acted as witness", which is not what in the presence of means.

That big bug eyed bitch doesn't deserve that nice looking guy. He just bought into the family and got low quality goods.

Are you kidding? Edo only has to give Bea a kid or two, and whether or not the marriage works out, his connections and place in the social hierarchy are assured forever. He knew exactly what he was doing.

There won't be another televised British royal wedding until William and Kate's kids get married. Edward and Sophie's kids aren't even in the top ten in the line of succession anymore.

Now the count-down is on for the divorce.

The timing of the Instagram photo is sort of hilarious. We know that Meghan gets up at 5 AM--she must have gotten up, had her shot of wheatgrass juice, checked her phone, freaked out, and rushed to put up a photo of Archie in a desperate attempt to take the edge of Bea's publicity. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's some other attention-grabbing announcement tomorrow, the day that Bea's wedding photos are supposed to drop.

R102 Of course. As Dominick Dunne said, "I like climbers. They interest me."

Edo will give Bea two kids and at least ten years of solid marriage. To do otherwise would be to jeopardize his connections with the BRF, which would directly affect his business. He's smarter than that.

R105 It's such a weird compulsion.

r107 is exactly right. Edo will never dispense with his trophy until absolutely necessary.

Were Harry and Meghan invited to the wedding? Fun to imagine they weren't. The family line was probably, "It's going to be VERY small and private, of course we don't expect you and Meghan to take the risk to travel." I wonder if they were given any details as to place and time. I'd be concerned they would leak the info.

Harry and Meghan are invited to nothing, ever, until the funerals.

Just like Wallace.

Notice the anti-monarchy rag The Mirror calls her "difficult"

I guarantee that Harry and Meghan were not invited. The BRF has a perfect excuse, what with the exploding infection rates in California. Also, notice that there's no word that the Cambridges came. I'm sure they would have liked to, but by not having them there, the Sussexes can't cry favoritism. There's even the built-in excuse that Be and Edo couldn't wait any longer (for a time when their Royal cousins could be there), as the Queen is planning to leave for Balmoral tomorrow. Really, the whole thing was perfectly timed and executed.

It's almost impossible to overestimate how glad the BRF staff is to have Harry and Meghan gone.

How do YOU know, R115?

Well, you wonder forever, won't you, r116?

But it's true.

God, they're ugly.

Ugly = Happy

Mazel tov to the happy couple.

I give the marriage twelve years.

50 quid on after 5 years, one kid, bug-eyed Bea many kilos overweight and Edo's outta there.

The Megstans have even managed to shut down a thread about Bea's secret marriage.

Unbelievable.

Italian counts are a dime a dozen, aren't they. Will the children be raised in the True Church?

No, they won't be Catholic. I really doubt it.

He was born in London and his mother's English. The only thing Italian about him is his name and title.

Now that is class. A private and likely inexpensive wedding suitable to her somewhat ranking to succession. Unlike Harry & Meghan who cost a fortune all the while knowing that LA was in their future.

Anne is the idol of "I don't wan't anything from you"

^^ should be: suitable to her somewhat distant ranking to succession.

According to a statement by Prince Andrew, Edo is Anglican. Whether he's a baptised Anglican is unknown.

Well, that was one way to avoid sending an invitation to Meghan! lol

[quote]Unlike Harry & Meghan who cost a fortune all the while knowing that LA was in their future.

anyone could have told you they'd hate Frogmore

Beverly Hills or Frogmore, YOU decide?

This is really decent of Bea and Edo.

They decided to Just Do It. Quietly.

They are the opposite of The Meghan and Harry Circus.

If Meghan and Harry were planning all along to leave, they could have done the decent thing and rejected the title upgrade, the expensive public wedding, and the grace-and-favor house. But that would have denied them the profile boost they were aiming for as a way of financing their departure. It was a grift from start to finish, and for what? To be living in LA in a borrowed mansion, still dependent on Daddy's handouts?

Bea will be pregnant by Christmas.

Bea is already pregnant, r134

Is Edo cut or uncut?

It's astonishing to me that Meg and Harry would be willing to whore themselves out in this way.

Meg is an old whore, so that makes sense, but Harry? Dumb as a box of hair, apparently.

Anglican? Then he is in the True Church.

Bea may already be knocked up now. That was my first thought when I read the headline.

Dear Beatrice. She's come for such a battering for her teeth.

Meanwhile: Meghan's stans at CB absolutely FUME

Simple weddings lead to lasting marriages. I married by bf a the Manhattan bureau, the whole thing cost less than $200 with the licenses, the Uber for the witnesses, and and the delicious lunch in Chinatown.

[quote] A large delivery of beer was seen outside Windsor Castle this afternoon, although it is not known whether it was used for the wedding.

Sounds like it was a very elegant occasion where HMQ served only the very best to her guests.

And such a match she has made. An illegitimate child named Wolfie!

The Queen's most flamboyant grandchild ended up with the smallest wedding of them all.

R98 Actually people with borderline personality disorder do not have unregulated emotions, rather it’s dysregulated emotions which get activated into impulsive and harmful behavior. Unregulated emotions may be normal under circumstances. Dysregulation go a step further into deliberately harmful, unhinged, and devious territory. That’s why it is so hard to treat this personality disorder. I don’t think Meghan is BDP she’s just an awful, shitty person who doesn’t even deserve mental disorder as an excuse.

Back to Bea, I think the couple likely had no choice but to have a small wedding. Things won’t be back to normal until next spring and even then I doubt QE would be on board with a big wedding like what Eugenie had especially with the economy in recovery mode. So the platitudes for Bea and Edo for their thrift and consideration are most likely forced upon them. Also why would Bea risk a longer engagement with Edo thinking that having Andrew as FIL is a business liability? Better to do it now than have more shit go wrong, nothing to do consideration but more to do with writing on the wall and public relations/ optics.

Princess Beatrice has Queen Victoria's captivating eyes and delicate mouth. Interesting to see history repeat itself.

And what tiara did SHE get to wear?

Couldn't care less about the marriage of the two grifters, but I was almost in tears to see the video of the newest Knight of the Realm.

Good on you Sir Tom Moore, one of the few surviving members of the Greatest Generation.

I had the privilege to care for many WWII veterans as a physician, and they were truly the greatest.

I hope the Queen does right and creates a title for Bea's husband's bastard child. Perhaps something similar to the Tudor Duke of Richmond would be suitable - that is what Henry VIII created for his bastard son.

Was the wedding before of after the Tom Moore investiture?

Before, R150.

Did Charles or William attend?

The queen looks amazing in that minty outfit. I hope I’m that cute when I get older.

Edo’s don will be very good looking when older. Wonder if he’s now to be included in the (second) cousins gatherings with the Cambridge children among others. Is Edo social climber enough to insist upon it and does Bea consider the kid as her own family? I’m sure she’s been playing stepmom to him already seeing as his mom travels and works internationally.

R149 why would the stepson of a low-ranking Royal get a title?

R154, Bea was already supposedly caring for Edo's son, and his former fiance actually welcomed Bea to their family, which I think was a very positive act.

[quote]WATCHING your ex and the father of your child beaming into the cameras as he announces his engagement to a princess can’t be easy. But yesterday Dara Huang – former partner of Princess Beatrice’s husband-to-be Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi – responded to their happy news with a kind and classy short statement.

[quote]She said: “I wish the best for Edo and Beatrice and look forward to uniting our families.” The reaction was characteristically dignified for the American architect, mum to Edo’s two-year-old son Christopher 'Woolfie' Woolf. Despite the three-year relationship ending abruptly, with Edo dating Beatrice just weeks after their split - she has stayed silent and refused to condemn her ex-fiancee.

R155 - Because some crazy member of the DataLounge House of Lords thinks he should have one.

The ex-fiance is milking this connection for all it's worth. I would, too!

R158 I'd want something out of being dumped for a title.

I don't think it sucks for her at all, OP - I think it's a gift par excellence, will endear Bea and her new husband to the UK public, was probably quite lovely, touching in is intimacy, and I'm sure nothing was spared to make the Chapel beautiful.

It's we DLers who have been cheated, not Bea. This would have been the last royal wedding for awhile - no orthopaedic hats on women who should know better, no pastel colourted spring suit and fascinator on Kate, no jet setters, and, oh my God - maybe even NO TIARA!!!!!

I hope there are photos, at least.

[quote] I hope the Queen does right and creates a title for Bea's husband's bastard child

I don't think they give them out to the step grandchild of the Queen's rapist son

R71 - "Doria's got a gorgeous body for a 65 year old. Her legs are FAR better than her daughter's!"

So are mine.

Ed's not getting a title is he? Assuming not, then his son won't get one. (Although they are both counts, if that counts.)

R159, if you're going to get dumped, having it happen for a title is excellent! Edo's ex is now famous in her own right. And if you play nice, think of all the great connections through the kid.

What photos of Doria and Archie? I checked HELLO, the DM, the MIRROR, and The SUN - didn't see anything.

If Meghan tried it on, it failed. The papers are full of Bea's wedding and Tom Moore's knighthood.

How did I miss the photos?

Here R165

What time was Tom's investiture?

What time was the wedding?

R141 - "Meanwhile: Meghan's stans at CB absolutely FUME"

I ignore CB, what the fuck are they fuming about?! Didn't their darling get the huge spring wedding that was supposed to be Eugenie's?! Didn't she wear a tiara arrive in a rolls depart in a carriage and have a lavish reception at beautiful Frogmore House - for all of which she laid out not one penny?

What their fucking problem NOW?

[quote] What their fucking problem NOW?

Too much and never enough.

Bea is the one gaining a title. She's now a contessa.

[quote]Princess Beatrice is an Italian countess now she's married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Princess Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi might have married into the Royal Family, but it's Beatrice who has inherited a title now that the two have tied the knot.

[quote]It's we DLers who have been cheated, not Bea.

Yes, missed all the fun. Harry & Meghan's wedding was hilarious. We all watched it together and passed comments. Making each other laugh. I was one of the especially funny ones, which I enjoyed.

An Italian countess, how glamorous!

^**Rolls (not rolls)

A contessa? That’s my title, bitches. Is she gonna be barefoot and fat too?

Dara is the smart one. She can milk connections while also taking distance from Andrew. She’d be like ‘I’m only connected to that family through my son” when shit turns bad.

The clock on top of the palazzo makes it look like the local school.

[quote]A contessa? That’s my title, bitches.

Acquired when you bought a deli on Long Island, gurl.

[quote] How do YOU know, [R115]?

115 has posted almost 40 replies in this thread alone. He's a loon talking to himself

Wedding was in the morning. Col Tom's investiture in the afternoon.

I wonder how Harry feels about missing out on the wedding. If the Sussexes had still been at Frogmore, they could have easily attended. This is the first of many family events he won't be attending, though, so he may as well get used to it.

I thought the Queen was not going to Balmoral this year but the wedding articles indicate that was one reason for the chosen wedding date.

Is Philip going with her?

[quote] Is Philip going with her?

Yes.

[quote]Wedding was in the morning. Col Tom's investiture in the afternoon.

The Queen must be exhausted! Glad drive-thru McDonald's have reopened in England. That's probably where Philip's taken her. In Slough. No way she'd have it in her to cook the dinner tonight.

Well surely there's some second rate nobility on the continent that will have her ...

R180, my comment above was snarky, but to be serious for a moment, I can't wait to see who were the 30 people who attended. I wish the young couple well, but her father is toxic right now. I would not be surprised if Charles and Camilla and William and Kate were not in attendance. Conflicts with their diaries or Covid-19 excuses or something along those lines might have kept them from attending...they'll say.

As for the California relatives, in the end they may have made a smart move after all. Go your own way, before you end up like Uncle Andy and Auntie Sarah or Cousin Michael and Cousin Marie Christine.

How do you pronounce Slough, please?

Whatever happened with Peter and Autumn's divorce? Not a word has been reported.

Ask google your question R186. That's the best way.

“Grifters”, R148? She, not being on the Sovereign Grant, receives no public funding. He is self employed.

R66 et al, Don't you realize that's a picture of Doria and Meghan as a little girl?

That version of the toy Doria is pulling hasn't been made in years. Do you really think they bought it at a garage sale or a rummage sale?

R186, "Slough" rhymes with "plow."

Meghan and Harry heading out for California was never the issue, R185. It was the two of them heading out for California after first fleecing the British taxpayer for a wedding and a renovated mansion, not to mention the receipt of two brand-new titles that will never be used for public service. Oh, and the fact that they're still living off of Charles, whose own money from the Duchy of Cornwall has a public element to it. If Meghan and Harry had announced at the engagement interview that they were planning to eschew the Royal dukedom and large public wedding and would soon move to California to pursue opportunities there, in the meantime living off of their personal fortunes, I'd have been the first to applaud them.

This ugly whore, her pedophile father , and nazi reptile of a grandmother can all go kill themselves for all I care.

Slough Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough! It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow. Swarm over, Death! Come, bombs and blow to smithereens Those air -conditioned, bright canteens, Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans, Tinned minds, tinned breath.

Mess up the mess they call a town- A house for ninety-seven down And once a week a half a crown For twenty years.

And get that man with double chin Who'll always cheat and always win, Who washes his repulsive skin In women's tears:

And smash his desk of polished oak And smash his hands so used to stroke And stop his boring dirty joke And make him yell.

But spare the bald young clerks who add The profits of the stinking cad; It's not their fault that they are mad, They've tasted Hell.

It's not their fault they do not know The birdsong from the radio, It's not their fault they often go To Maidenhead

And talk of sport and makes of cars In various bogus-Tudor bars And daren't look up and see the stars But belch instead.

In labour-saving homes, with care Their wives frizz out peroxide hair And dry it in synthetic air And paint their nails.

Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough To get it ready for the plough. The cabbages are coming now; The earth exhales.

R183, it was Pizza Express in Woking actually: that's where the wedding reception was held.

Ah, cute old people alert at R114!

Best of luck to Bea; I'm guessing it won't be long before she's preggers (if not already) and rumors about him screwing around, but at least for today, mazel tov to the happy couple!

[quote]r61 This was absolutely the best thing they could have done. I suspect Bea will reap the benefits from her humble acquiescence for years to come.

You make it sound like she saved a village of small children.

All she did was get married quietly at home, as others are doing, everywhere.

But sure, [italic]give the bitch a medal!

She saved the Pope from quicksand.

I'm happy for Beatrice -- enough waiting. And she gets to have a wedding in which the public are not staring at her father, wondering what he's guilty of. My only beef with Meghan and Harry is that they thought they could have their cake and eat it to...serve the nation when it suits them and then jet off to LA to make money and live a duty-free life. HM the Queen put the kibosh on that.

Well, at least they're not sour grapes Meghan.

Very thoughtful of them not releasing any pics today in order to prevent taking away Sir Tom's thunder.

Megalomaniac back in LA must be fuming. LOL.

R201 No one really gives a shit about Bea and it’s hilarious people are pretending she chose a small wedding over an extravagant one and that Covid and her pedo father had nothing to do with that decision.

This is how she will be styled from now on:

[quote] Upon her marriage she became Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, Countess Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

Meanwhile, Meghan is Princess Just Harry.

Look, the sun was out for a grand day all around. Best wishes to all!

R201 well on a thread about Bea you are talking about Meghan. So you obviously give a shit about her. Markle obsessives spoil every Brf thread

He always wants to do me doggystyle..

This FUCKING SUCKS!!!

I had to work thru the other girl’s wedding, so I only got to see Meghan.

I was hoping that I’d have another chance to see a televised royal wedding, and now this...NOW WHAT?

Someone people barely know about married someone no one knows or cares about.

r208, just wait twenty years and you'll see Princess Charlotte's wedding.

Also, Harry will likely have a second wedding in a few years.

Aw... [R209], sometimes we wanna look up at the stars instead of slurry of shit we're presently mired in (I speak for myself and Trump's abject lack of leadership over the virus. My apologies to anybody else).

I wish them both happiness.

Future Queen Charlotte will declare herself married to England and will never marry. She will have many court favorites though.

r212

I'm sure the last thing they want is to be wished anything by an eldergay on a gay gossip site, virtually no one reads.

R183 your comment is poignant because HM actually OWNS the McDonalds near Windsor as part of her personal real estate portfolio.

Once given away by a pedo

Beatrice has married an Edo

Perhaps the Heir was there

But no peasants to stare

As they ate pizza in the Royal gazebo

There once was a man named Edo

Whose father in-law was a pedo

He married for status

And the pizza was gratis

But Fergie vomited on his tuxedo

R213 Wrong queen. Sit down sissy!

There's a famous song about Slough

Slough is also where Paris Nights was created. It's a song about Princess Diana

Ok so he is wealthy. Why when he could get any woman in the world would he want her and her family?

Because she's very nice, and very famous.

And he's now golden in the UK as far as connections go. The BRF still has a lot of money and influence in international circles. As long as he does right by Bea, he's set for life.

[quote] Ok so he is wealthy. Why when he could get any woman in the world would he want her and her family?

His parents are wealthy. That's not the same thing as him being wealthy

She is pregnant.

I photoshopped the emerald tiara onto mah sister's head and then sent the pic to Cousin Harry and his wife-- just for larfs.

[quote] Whatever happened with Peter and Autumn's divorce? Not a word has been reported.

That's because they are handling it with dignity and grace. They learned from the mistakes made by Uncle Charles and Uncle Pedo.

I am very pleased. This is by far the most profitable access for cash deal I've ever swung.

I wore my Blackamoor brooch to the wedding and no one batted an eye.

He's big buddies with high ups in the Tory party which has helped with his business "successes". Now that he's married into the BRF, he's going to have to tone down his political connections, or at least be more discreet about them.

He gives off a climber vibe. Short to boot and a bit crazy eyed.

I love royal weddings, I don’t want to wait 20 years for the next one.

They won’t publish pics I don’t think. It was private and that my dear is that.

[quote]He's big buddies with high ups in the Tory party

Why doesn't it surprise me that Beatrice married a huge Tory? Everybody acts like she's a victim of her skeevy parents but something tells me she's grown up to be a lot like them.

Even if Beatrice inherited the very best qualities of both her mother and father, her reputation will always be tarnished by their appalling behaviour and lack of judgment

More limericks and Naughty Eugenie, please!

R238 They’re all Tories. The lot of them. The Queen, Charles, Camilla, William, Kate - and Harry too until he met Meghan.

The British Royal family is pretty much what being a Tory is all about:

Membership in the lucky sperm club.

Meghan is a fake liberal. All she's ever done is run after the money.

Meghan's former BFF is a member of a Canadian Tory family.

It’s all for the best. No carping about the cost or Andrew’s presence or the California couple’s absence. Shows solidarity with the brides of the rest of the world who’ve had to postpone and pare down their weddings. Nabbed the queen’s attendance but seems to have avoided a lot of the otherwise obligatory guests. Much less stressful. The best part is they pulled it off in secret. No one leaked it to the press. That’s a statement right there.

I can only imagine what your idea of "liberal" is.

R190 - "[R66] et al, Don't you realize that's a picture of Doria and Meghan as a little girl?

That version of the toy Doria is pulling hasn't been made in years. Do you really think they bought it at a garage sale or a rummage sale?"

Are you blind? The kid in that photo is five shades lighter than Meghan Markle ever was. That's Archie.

R238 "Why doesn't it surprise me that Beatrice married a huge Tory? Everybody acts like she's a victim of her skeevy parents but something tells me she's grown up to be a lot like them."

Because Labour are such a great bunch of blokes?

Have you looked at how Tony Blair made his tens of millions in real estate? He's acting as a "consultant" for the Saudi royal family now.

R247 Well, it's not the Meghan version.

So where are the fucking photos already?!

A real liberal would help the less fortunate with actual deeds, not self-serving word-salad speeches.

There aint gonna be none, R251.

[quote] A beautifully packaged video of the Cambridge family, for instance, can be blown out of the water by an impromptu speech by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex over in Los Angeles.

That's a quote from an article in "The Guardian" today about the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family embracing technology "to keep the royals in view."

Edo has shifty character written on his face. I feel for Beatrice. Another royal makes a poor choice in partners.

The Daily Mail says this is the first royal wedding "behind closed doors" for 235 years. But don't the minor royals usually have private weddings, anyway? Eugenie seemed to be the exception, not the rule. I suppose it's a bit different because they didn't pose for the press outside afterwards.

[quote] What about me? The Queen is my grandmother too!—Lady Louise Windsor

Lady Louise, with you being cross-eyed and all, do you find it difficult to curtsy to your grandmother without falling over?

[quote] Is Edo cut or uncut?

Safe to say he's uncut.

He’s a whore and she’s desperate. He’s a keeper!

Usually it's the other way around!

The best thing Edward and Sophie ever did for Louise was not having her styled HRH Princess Louise. It allows her to keep a lower profile and avoid some of the vitriol that was thrown at her cousins.

She's also, apparently, HM's favorite grandchild, so perhaps she'll come in for some nice jewelry as an inheritance one day.

Louise has lovely skin and coloring. Now that they've fixed her eyes and teeth, she may grow up into a reasonably attractive woman. At least she doesn't run to fat like Bea and Eug, and that helps a lot.

[quote]She's also, apparently, HM's favorite grandchild

all this favorite nonsense, I think is nonsense.

Curly hair is so tricky.

They say that about every grandkid. Who knows? Shrug

Does anyone know if Charles and Cammie were there, at this wedding? And Princess Anne (I assume not)? And Prince Edward? Can we have the guest list please? Who was the officiant (it could have been Mike Pence for all we know)?

It was supposedly 20 people. Her parents and grandparents, Eug and her cutie is 6. His kid is 7. Fill in the rest.

His parents were there and his hot brother so that makes 10. Don't tell me they also invited 10 old retainers from the various peasantries they own in the UK and Italy.

Her parents and grandparents, sister and her husband, his parents, kid, brother, half-siblings or step-siblings, an aunt, uncle or cousin, a few friends. These are mainly guesses, but it's not that difficult to get to 20.

Princess Alexandra and the Duchesses of Kent and Gloucester all had semi-public weddings. The only entirely private wedding I can recall is Prince Michael to the divorced, Catholic Marie-Christine von Reibnitz (a/k/a our very own Princess Michael of Kent).

Bea is eigth in line for the throne - a private wedding amidst a global pandemic isn't exactly mysterious.

The tabloids are dragging her probably very sweet and romantic wedding in the mud.

Next time Meghan complains about how she and she alone was dragged by the tabs someone should show her the headlines on poor Bea's wedding.

It's as if she fled to Gretna Green with him.

The Chapel at Windsor is beautiful. She probably wore the gown that was nearly ready when the wedding got cancelled, the flowers from what we saw looked beautiful, her engagement ring is gorgeous (and totally eclipses that tawdry boring unimaginative thing Harry gave Meghan), and she had her nearest and dearest there including the Sovereign and her husband. My guess is that the 15-20 people also included Fergie, Charles and Camilla, and the Cambridges, and Eugenie and Jack.

With her stepson, that would round up to only 11.

^* Oh - Edo's parents would bring the total to 13.

Room for George and Charlotte to round up to 15.

I honestly don't care who came, I just want to see the dress and tiara.

[quote] The tabloids are dragging her probably very sweet and romantic wedding in the mud.

[quote] I just want to see the dress and tiara.

If they don't release the guest list, forget the tiara R274.

Congrats to the lovely couple -- have fun!

Edo’s father wasn’t there, although he was reportedly invited.

I hope Bea will release one wedding picture to show us the dress and guests. Given how much she's benefitted from the public funds her father has received during his life, it's the least she can do.

The UK press has already reported that none of Andrew's siblings were present. Charles and Cam are still up in Scotland. The Cambridge family didn't attend either.

I hope the photos drop tonight (US time). I want to see the gown and possible tiara.

[quote] She's also, apparently, HM's favorite grandchild

[quote] all this favorite nonsense, I think is nonsense.

It's been said for many years that if the Queen has a favorite grandchild, it is Peter Phillips, probably because he was her first grandchild. Also, the Queen and Prince Philip were around Anne's children while they were growing up far more than they were around William and Harry, and Beatrice and Eugenie. Edward's kids also have spent more time with their grandparents than did the Wales and York children.

Selfish old Sir Tom still hogging the spotlight!

Poor girl no one wanted to attend her wedding.

[quote] They’re all Tories. The lot of them. The Queen, Charles, Camilla, William, Kate - and Harry too until he met Meghan.

With a few exceptions, the Queen has usually liked and gotten along better with Labour Prime Ministers than she has with the Tory ones. She's been pretty good at not showing any political bias, and to not do so is part of her "job". The Queen Mother was quite fond of a number of Labour politicians, but her views were very right wing. Until he was in his 30s, Charles definitely known to favour predominately Labour views and the courtiers really had to rein him in. As he has gotten older, like most people, he's likely quite conservative now. Camilla, yes, Tory through and through, but now only privately because of her membership in the Royal Family.

Princess Margaret was no doubt a Tory at heart, but had very little interest in being informed about politics, unless something popped up that might curtail her freedoms and privileges.

Prince Philip's maternal grandmother was a pronounced socialist, but because she was born a princess, she really wasn't taken seriously in her views. Dickie Mountbatten was left wing and his wife a claimed to be a socialist. And while they were overall serious in their political beliefs, they flagged a bit when taxation threatened their enormous wealth. Prince Philip shared some of his relatives radical views which set off huge alarms in the Royal Court when it became obvious Princess Elizabeth would be marrying him. And when I say Philip had radical ideas, I mean they were certainly radical for that time, but by today's standards they'd be thought of as moderately progressive.

The photo is here.

trying again.

The same Fringe tiara that the Queen wore at her wedding.

Another.

I don't like Bea's wedding dress at all. Did she have to assemble it herself in parts?

Beatrice is ninth in line for the throne, not eighth. (1) Charles, (2) William, (3) George, (4) Charlotte, (5) Louis, (6) Harry, (7) Archie, (8) Andrew, (9) Beatrice. With Harry not living in the UK, Beatrice could be asked to be a Counsellor of State, which is made up of the monarch's consort and the first four adults in the succession if they are living in the UK. That would be (1) Philip, (2) Charles, (3) William, (4) Andrew, and (5) if Harry is out, Beatrice. Suddenly, she's important!

Bless her heart...Beatrice looks radiant but that dress is a mess. Edo looks like he might be questioning his life choices, possibly because of those sleeves.

Bea is even copying her grandmother's dress when she opened Parliament.

I actually like the dress, it was better than Sparkles and it actually fits her.

Wearing the Queen's vintage Norman Hartnell dress with adjustments as well as her fringe tiara.

She looks great. But what a mean old headline!

She's not copying her grandmother's dress, r294 - it is her grandmother's dress.

Queenie must genuinely love her to lend those to her. I guess that makes sense if Andrew is her favorite child, and Bea is his first born.

I predicted months ago that Beatrice would wear a fringe tiara! Good God, I officially spend far too much time on DL. I rarely paid attention to the royals, never mind their fucking tiaras, until a year or two ago.

I actually think the dress is nice enough, except for the puffy sleeves. Given that it's Beatrice, it could have been much worse.

Is Andrew so short of cash that he can't afford a wedding dress for his eldest daugther?

Eugenie swans around in a beautiful unique gown and tiara (swipe for photos) and poor Bea gets grandma's hand me downs.

Something borrowed = EVERYTHING!

Another view of the Queen wearing THE OLD DRESS.

MIRROR has the first photos up and I'm demmed if HM hasn't leant her granddaughter the fucking FRINGE Tiara that Gran herself and her daughter, the Princess Royal, also wore at their weddings!

Dress indifferent but could have been worse. Bea looks beaming - the only photos so far of attendees include the Queen and Philip.

Dayum - the Fringe! A tiara HM still wears!

THAT is a mark of favour!

R301 it’s such a mark of favour, Beatrice would have worn the Queen’s old pajamas if they were offered

Or the Queen's old jock strap, for that matter!

R296 - Crikey, it's true! It's a new replica of a Hartnell.

She looks really sweet, and yes, it does fit. It's perfect for an intimate spring wedding and if only how it will piss off Meghan Markle I'm delighted to see a major tiara instead of one of the minor lend-outs (except for the ones she lends Kate, of course).

The Queen is announcing to all and sundry that this an adored granddaughter and Princess of the Blood.

No one - but NO ONE, has worn that tiara but top tier royals: Mary (who wore it first, I think), the Queen Mother, QEII, the Princess Royal at her wedding.

It is truly a loving gesture to her granddaughter.

Wedding dress pics are up! She did over one of HM's vintage Norman Hartnell dresses, and she wore the same diamond fringe tiara as HM and Princess Anne.

Masterful PR. Masterful.

R301 - Her sister's tiara was also a hand me down, you moron. It was the Greville Kokoshnik and entered the collection in the 1930s.

[quote]I predicted months ago that Beatrice would wear a fringe tiara! Good God, I officially spend far too much time on DL. I rarely paid attention to the royals, never mind their fucking tiaras, until a year or two ago.

I'm here a lot too, but I've never found myself worrying about tiaras.

It's sweet that she wore her grandmother's dress and wedding tiara. I believe Anne also wore it at her wedding. I assume this means that HM has retired from wearing the fringe and it will be used by Beatrice or Eugenie and their daughters.

I guess this puts to rest the question about what happened to the tiara the queen had made as a wedding present for Fergie. Probably sold at an inflated price to some middle eastern potentate or one of Andrew's scummy friends from one of the stans to pay off her debts.

R313 - Yes, Anne wore it at her wedding.

Does not at all necessarily mean the Queen has stopped wearing it. She didn't stop wearing it after she leant it to Anne for her wedding . . .

I believe the Kents also have a very similar fringe tiara. Pss. Michael of Kent has worn it on occasion.

[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.]

Well, I think Bea looks adorable and never thought I'd live to say so.

Looks like the Chapel was done in true fairy tale style filled with summer roses.

And, ffs, if you compare the look on the Queen's face to the face she wore at the Sussex wedding!!!!

Great choice. The Queen loves those two girls, seems to offer support and protection as best she can by showing the world her approval with the truly “big gun” tiaras. She probably has her favorite grandchildren, but favorite can be different things. Peter a favorite as the first, William, the favorite as the heir, Bea and Eugenie the favorites with their f&cked up parents.

It's the perfect message to send in a time of austerity and uncertainty: continuity, family, and tradition, all signaled by a vintage dress (by a British designer) and a grand tiara worn by the Queen herself at her wedding. Whatever Andrew's current status, the Queen is indicating her favor and protection of Beatrice. Nicely done!

I would love to be a fly on the wall today at the tacky McMansion Meghan is staying in in California. I'm sure after seeing the photos she's flinging breakable objects at Harry and the servants.

R316: I noticed the same thing! Here, QEII and Philip are beaming vs. the expressions at the Sussex wedding.

Apparently Bea and Edo "broke with tradition" by spending the night before the wedding together. That tells me, along with the rest of the rush, that she's pregnant.

It's so clear from the photo alone how much the Queen and Philip love Bea. It's a shame about having to stand apart but it's still clear how happy they are. Lovely picture.

Bea is beaming with happiness, and her tiara and dress highlight just how closely her extended family embraces her. I'm sure there are pics with Andrew and Sarah Ferguson which won't be shared with the press.

Let's face it, this was very likely the last wedding of one of her grandchildren The Queen will live to see (and most certainly the last one with Prince Philip attending). In that respect, providing the bride with the Fringe Tiara - the very one tiara she wore at her own wedding - is particularly poignant.

This is probably Philip's last family wedding. He's 99 (!), and the next unmarried grandchild is the Lady Louise, who is only 16.

It's definitely the last grandchild wedding HM will attend if Louise and James follow the traditional marriage age for this generation of royal grandchildren. Every one of them was around 30 when they got married (the youngest was Eugenie at 28 and the oldest was Harry at 33). Possibly even Charles won't be around for Louise and James' weddings.

As always, Philip was dressed impeccably well. The old dog always has it goin’ on.

Philip looks amazing. Look how straight he stands - at 99 he stands like a man of 50.

So we're looking at 15 years before the next major Royal wedding unless Louise breaks tradition and marries young, and given that she's not styled an HRH it will probably be a low-key event. We all just have to wait for George and Charlotte in a quarter-century or so.

Everyone is forgetting that Harry's second marriage will happen in the next five years.

Damn, you're right, R330. But as a second wedding, it will probably be quite low-key, as Charles' marriage to Camilla was. I wonder if Harry will have to to a prayer of atonement for his sins as Charles and Camilla did, or was that just because of their years of adultery?

I’m not a fan of the sleeves and think they could have made the dress church appropriate in a more congruous way. But the overall aesthetic is very lovely, perfect English summer setting.

[quote] and given that she's not styled an HRH it will probably be a low-key event.

She won't necessarily always be not styled as such.

Her parents have given her the option of choosing to go by the title HRH the Princess Louise of Wessex after she turns 18.

[quote] In 2020, the Countess of Wessex stated that Lady Louise retained her royal title and style and will make a choice on whether to use it when she turns 18.

It would be very unlikely, not to mention pointless, for the Wessex kids to use their full titles. They're dynastically irrelevant (barring a King Ralph scenario) and will have to live as private wealthy citizens.

R190 You are nuts! That isn't a 63 yr old Doria with gray hair pushing toddler Meghan. It is Archie. That is a 2Step Push Around Buggy that probably was still in the garage at Tyler Perry's mansion. He has a child who would have used the buggy in 2010 (although they were recalled). The brick driveway matches Perry's house.

If Louise has any sense at all, she'll run like hell from the HRH and all the baggage it brings with it.

I think that Beatrice looked very pretty in the dress and tiara borrowed from the Queen. It was a good thing to go ahead and have the small wedding while the Queen and Philip are still alive. Also, it saved Beatrice the fear that Fergie would do something stupid to steal the spotlight. Plus, the news will only get worse about her dad when more Epstein/Maxwell dirt is released soon.

Still, ain't nobody nohow will ever get to wear this baby while I'm alive but me. Not even Bea.

Feast your eyes and weep, babies.

What?!?

The bug-eyed bitch got married without me letting spoil her wedding by announcing my second pregnancy wearing maternity clothes and incessantly cradling my non-existent bump?!?

What the fucking fuuuuuuuuuuuck?!?!?

The Cambridges didn't attend, neatly sidestepping the problem of explaining to Harry why he wasn't invited.

Who knows - they may have decided to do it this way partly to ensure they wouldn't have to have Andrew being seen walking her down the aisle, and partly so they wouldn't have to invite the dreaded Harkles, who would have elicited boos from the crowd if this was a public wedding, and whose presence would have marred the day in about ten different ways.

20 guests is not a lot. Immediate family and very dear friends. I was a groomsman for my best friend at a wedding of 34. Even that felt teeny.

To be honest - this strikes me as a much nicer wedding than the Sussexes had, for all its straining at "Big Royal".

There's something very nice about it. The tabloids are being as nasty as they can be - they act as if COVD had absolutely nothing to do with it, forgetting that if Andrew had been a paragon of virtue, the pandemic still would have gotten the May wedding cancelled.

But that's who they are and what they do. Someone send a memo to L.A. on the subject.

Well done, Bea, Edo, and Ma'am.

R321 - She sure doesn't look preggers.

[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.]

You are correct R344

The wedding was organised in under three weeks, r343, so if she is pregnant she is probably only one or two months along.

Not everyone wears maternity clothing at one-two months pregnant. Only Meghan.

It seems that Bea is really being groomed to take a step forward in the BRF.

Filling the void left by Harry and M's departure, one assumes.

She looked okay, not great but not sloppy either like how vintage dresses can look on today's figures but I suppose the tailors worked their magic on making that dress fit Bea. She does look genuinely happy.

Glad to see that DLers on this thread aren't going after Edo's ex Dara like the crazy pro-BRF loons on Tumblr and on some DM comments. To the point of attacking Edo's ex and judging her for having a kid with him (apparently it's all her fault for getting knocked up), her IG selfies, her clothes, or even just wearing shorts when out at lunch yesterday with friends. It isn't her fault that DM had stalked her having lunch and taken photos of her. Now these loons are trying to lump her with Meghan who's truly deserving of disdain.

Bea is a likable woman but really weren't she and her sister being criticized for taking expensive vacations paid by Andrew and hardly ever working at their jobs? Now all of a sudden she's a saint for having a small and private wedding when the question was why should she have had a big, produced affair like Eugenie did? That was also undeserved for a daughter of the Queen's second son. Both are princesses who seem nice and shouldn't be judged by their creepy dad's misdeeds. But both are also nothing special looks or talent-wise. Gimme some real entertainment like Fergie and her whoring around, it's vastly more interesting. I'm just here for the implosion, Edo is a climber like Meghan and there's something off about him.

It would be hilarious if Meghan announced tomorrow that she's pregnant. Level 99 trolling.

Edo: who's had him?

For her wedding gift, I got her sterilized by the royal OB/GYN.

We thought it was best.

Fear not, in the next decade or two there will a bonanza of Royal funerals, a coronation, an investiture, and an abundance of glaring faux pas to tide us over.

Start thinking now about you're going to wear!

[quote] Start thinking now about you're going to wear!

It seems to be the age of hand-me-downs so I am getting my grandmother's gowns and tiaras out of the bank vault, and not just for maintenance this time.

The Queen laid on the Granny endorsements... dress and tiara... it's nice.

Dear Bay-triss, she's the Edith Crawley of the Royal Family.

I’m sure the queen felt badly for Beatrice and all the bad luck that has surrounded the timing of her wedding. I agree that the major tiara and her majesty’s own dress was a loving public gesture.

I've learned a new term/concept from the articles: "glamping pod". Count on Bea and Fergie to help forge a new trend!

Those two idiots have nothing to do with forging any new trends.

But it seems prudent for the Queen to order them out of the Royal Lodge and into more modest dwellings.

These "poor Bea" posters are hilarious. This gurl has worked less than Paris Hilton. All she did was pretend to work, go on vacation, spend Grandma's money, and use her title to get ahead. Now she's an aging princes that lucked up and found an attractive social climber. They will continue to live in palaces and expensive country homes. There is nothing poor about this story. They are far down the line of succession and their father is a pedo, the public didn't need to see their wedding.

Some of you are very delusional butt kissers of the 1%.

I wish her, and all brides, the best. But I know she's just like the rest of the classist royals.

Girl* ^ not gurl. I was throwing my slang around.

Gurl was FINE, gurl.

[quote] They will continue to live in palaces and expensive country homes. There is nothing poor about this story.

They will continue to live etc .... unless they do the stupids and fuck off to LA, gurl. Edo is too clever for that; he's another dynast, but in a minor league; he still gets it. He and his gurl are staying together within the cocoon, hunny.

Me too - I sometimes find myself using it away from here and have to correct myself.

So you're applauding them for being rich fucks r362? Like I don't understand why some of you are praising them to the heavens. This is DL and these two should be catnip for this site. Social climbing Italian (English, whatever) and a princess scared of becoming an old maid.

[quote]Social climbing Italian (English, whatever) and a princess scared of becoming an old maid.

Stop being so mean.

Edo's family are old gentry (I know, from Italy somewhere); they were made up to count in 1913. They are chicken feed compared to the crowd he's married into; but he likes what he has married into, his family like that shit. And if he is a polite young man, as he seems to be, he will be a mega hit with all members of his new family like Tony Armstrong-Jones was (they all liked him so much always the end).

She's not such an easy ticket considering what's going on but he didn't abandon her and he's started looking like her. They're a match.

r365 people don't say that about Meghan and Harry, though they deserve a bit of their public scorn.

Their kids are going to have hideously crazy-looking eyes.

She looks like a very sweet girl. He looks like just the right type of friendly adventurer who will take care of the Queen's granddaughter and make lots of friends in the BRF. Parvenu, in a nice way. The girl could have done much worse.

I always wonder if she had her teeth fixed in America.

The English tend to take a few out when they're so crowded.

Does Edo and the girl get Frogmore?

In order to keep them all, they're pushed out to make room. The Americans love this.

How short is he? He can’t be taller than 5’8 or 172cm.

I love the yards and yards of red hair!

So many ginges in Windsor these days. Very Scotch.

MM and Harry may have issues but no one here really knows. The press should focus more on Prince Andrew and his pervy rapist ass.

The only thing that Harry and MM did was to put the spotlight on the BRF. By stepping away from the “Firm”, they expose the fact that they are not really needed or useful. That’s why the Palace is pissed.

Poor R380 I try to council him but he is fuck and suffocating under his caftan.

I did feel a little bad for Bea. Everyone's problems are relative. I like the turn the story took, with her wearing the Queen's good stuff. The wedding seems weird but weirdly special.

They got behind her

As the Americans say "They had her back".

[quote] By stepping away from the “Firm”, they expose the fact that they are not really needed or useful. That’s why the Palace is pissed.

Why would the palace be pissed that Hapless and Meagain exposed the fact that they are not really needed or useful.

r380 has no idea what they are talking about. Harry and Meghan make the rest of the BRF look fantastic. The BRF is more beloved today than they've been for a while, despite the difficult year.

The single exception is Andrew because there's no making him look good - but, there was no way of making him look good since Koo Stark, and everyone in Britain has disliked him for decades, so no loss there.

Andrew was popular when he was handsome, and that lasted through Koo Stark to about the time of his marriage to Fergie. Then he got thick-waisted and homely.

R385 It’s a draw. Meghan and Harry leaving for money and fame haven’t paid themselves any dividends, instead the British people can’t stand them now. The RF got the wrong sort of spotlight shined on it and people do question why it needs public funding. However, the RF had certain members step up in the aftermath particularly in light of COVID-19. So now the family has regained some respect back. It’ll continue to exist for now and certainly long past the Sussexes’ skid into obscurity.

Whaa whaa, R51.

[quote]Andrew was popular when he was handsome

& when one had hardly ever heard him talk.

r315 that dress is ugly without the full underskirt. DL what do you call the ruffles that women wore under their dresses in the 50s and early 60s?

Koo Stark!

There's a name I haven't heard for yonks.

Philip still stands very tall and straight for a very old geezer...and no sticks.

That was a great tradeoff--small private wedding but she gets to wear THAT tiara and THAT dress. Worth it.

warms my cold black heart

R395, that may be the best royal wedding photo I’ve ever seen.

They both look so thrilled.

Her little sister came out ahead for a number of reasons, but I've rarely seen a groom beam as much as Jack did. He clearly cherishes Eug.

If that dress was just one inch longer it would be near perfect.

I'm not sure her sister did come out ahead in terms of weddings. Both were beautiful but Bea got a true wedding, sans spectacle and having to crowd please. I'll bet Bea had a far better time, emotionally, through her big day than Eug did on hers.

Also, no Harkles to come and announce a pregnancy as they arrive for the service. Always a plus.

She must have been SO unhappy, her father's thing and then Corona and the delaying of the wedding and they all made it all alright in the end.

I wonder what they had at the luncheon. Salmon probably and new potatoes. Asparagus.

I'm more interested in the food than the tiara.

[quote]Also, no Harkles to come and announce a pregnancy as they arrive for the service

I missed all that. I need to read up on what happened.

[quote] No one - but NO ONE, has worn that tiara but top tier royals: Mary (who wore it first, I think), the Queen Mother, QEII, the Princess Royal at her wedding.

Yes, Queen Mary wore it first. It was made for her. It was later worn by the Queen for her wedding and then again by Princess Anne for her first wedding. The Queen Mother never wore it as it Queen Mary's personal property and left it to the present Queen. The Queen Mother wore a similar fringe tiara known by various names...the George III Fringe, Queen Adelaide's Tiara, the Hanoverian Fringe. Queen Victoria was given it by her aunt, Queen Adelaide and Victoria incorporated it as part of the Crown Collection (not to be confused with the Crown Jewels). As with the Delhi Durbar Tiara and the Indian Ruby Tiara, when the Queen came to throne, she allowed the Hanoverian Fringe Tiara to be used by her mother solely for the Queen Mother's lifetime.

[quote] I believe the Kents also have a very similar fringe tiara. Pss. Michael of Kent has worn it on occasion.

Yes, it belonged to Princess Marina, although Princess Michael has altered it slightly. The fringe tiara was one of two owned by Marina's mother, the Grand Duchess Helen of Russia. The other fringe was given to Marina's sister Princess Elizabeth, Countess of Toerring-Jettenbach. I believe it is still in the Toerring-Jettenbach family. The third daughter of Grand Duchess Helen received her mother's ruby and diamond parure. This was bought back by the main line of the Greek Royal Family and is now worn by ex-Queen Anne-Marie.

I want more wedding pictures. Formal portraits, with closer views of the dress and tiara.

The small wedding and the vintage dress are very cute and seems like a good PR move, even if that wasn't the intention. Who needs to see a lavish wedding with expensive dresses in time where so many people are struggling with simple things like the rent?

r395 I give her props for those gorgeous flower arrangements! Some of the best I've ever seen. Still an ugly dress. I've never been a fan of that tiara, though I know it's more symbolic that she got to wear it.

Where was Prince William and Cate?

If they showed up then it would have been a media story that Harry and Meghan weren't invited, r409, so they stayed away.

After what Meghan did at Yuge's wedding, it was always going to be a problem for Bea to invite the Californians, no matter how close she might have been once to Harry.

I'll bet one of the attractive things about just doing it in private meant no one had to even contemplate the horrible idea of those two showing up to ruin things. So much easier.

I think the dress is beautiful. (I’m partial to vintage.) There’s certainly not another like it.

These photos made me feel happy, for a lot of fuzzy, sentimental reasons.

Tiara: Perfect!

Dress: Looks like a 30 quid Primark sundress with short sleeves added.

Nah the dress looks proper quality. It's just too short, although that would have been the fashion in the time of the Napoleanic Wars.

Edo's shoes are - GASP!- pointy.

Look at the contrast between his shoes and Philip's shoes.

If ever in doubt, go the Philip route.

I love the dress. It looks like what a princess should wear to her wedding.

The sleeves aren’t very well integrated but they soften the appearance of the dress and suit Bea’s personality. She looks lovely.

[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.]

Did Megan like stand up at a mic and announce her pregnancy or just let it drop when she saw her family?

Eug wasn't forced to have a big wedding. If she had wanted a small wedding, who would've cared besides Andy? If not for Corona and the Andrew disaster, Bea would've been happy to do the same. The sparkle and crowd were what Eugenie wanted. And most importantly, she has a man who is clearly head over heels in love.

She dressed in maternity clothes - with the coat buttoned at the top but not the bottom, so that from the moment she stepped out of the car, the news began speculating, just as she planned.

Then she went around the service telling everyone she met that she was pregnant. Then she kept doing it at the reception, and the two of them were apparently asked to leave early.

This was the moment the family really understood how cheap and nasty she was.

Face it: She's a whore, darlin'.

I wish somebody in the British royal family would marry another royal so we could have a big royal blowout sans commoners.

I want to see what Sarah, Duchess of York wore to Bea’s wedding.

Surely more than two pics were taken at Bea’s wedding. Did Will and Kate, Charles and the Rottweiler attend?

Kate and Wills, and Charles and Camilla, were none of them at the service (although they might have gone to the lunch afterwards).

And then the lunch was over in time for the Queen to knight Capt. Tom Moore, so all in all, a small and relatively simple affair.

I doubt they were asked to leave early r423. They probably left on their own accord but people like to pretend that senior royals would kicked out of a minor royal's wedding.

Do you think the Queen has been enjoying her retirement? With COVID this the most stationery that woman's been since birth.

You clearly don't know the story, r427. They enraged the entire clan with their rudeness. It was a major turning point. They lost the Kensington Palace apt planned for them in the days after Yuge's wedding, and in the weeks after the wedding, it was reported that Meghan was being denied access to the Queen's jewels.

It's no accident that this wedding was held in a way that could avoid having Meghan and Harry attend.

I love the tiara she wore. Bea actually looked dignified.

Oh god, please. She looked horrible, and not particularly happy. He's a mess of a match for her. Speaking of messy matches, nothing in her ensemble went together with any sort of elegance or panache. Yuge on the other hand looked truly fantastic. I remember on Yuge's day that many of us were ready to drag her, but as it unfolded, most of us cunts ended up cheering for her. That was a fun time.

Bea looked like her drunk mother dressed her while wearing a blindfold. If the photos released were the best they could find, it must have been even more tragic looking than we even know. The only kind thing I can think to say is that HM and the DoE looked in good spirits.

Bea looked lovely, r431. Best she's ever looked. That tiara suited her down to the ground. He is looking more and more like her, which means they are naturally suited.

I know you're angry that your Meg was intentionally shut out. That's because she's a Z-list Hollywood whore, no marriage can change that, and everyone around the world knows it.

Go back to CB, you bitter old hag.

Oh lovely, it's a MM freak at r432 complete with their rapier wit *eyeroll*, and the evergreen turd that is a reference to Celebitchy. Get new material you whack job.

I agree that Bea looked oddly thrown together. She wasn't hideous looking, she was just...well I stand by oddly thrown together looking.

Speaking of odd, the timing is indeed. Was it because the noose is tightening around daddy? Though how this wee wedding would ameliorate anything in that department is beyond me.

R431 I remember the Eugenie wedding threads! Good times...

Keep fuming, Megstan at r433.

You must be so, so angry.

We love it.

Beatrice’s tiara and vintage gown were huge statements of support from the Queen. She will likely be the last grandchild to have both Elizabeth and Philip at a family wedding and that is poignant itself. Very inspired choices and what a way to make lemonade out of lemons!

If I had to critique , I wish she would redden her hair a bit and I wish she had better makeup. She and her sister both look way better when their faces are polished with a little color, and she has dark circles that should have been camouflaged.

It's possible that she is pregnant but, given that it would not be possible to have had the type of wedding they had originally planned for perhaps 2 years anyway, and her grandparents are very old not to mention possible complications with her father on the horizon maybe they just decided to get married now because there's never going to be a right time.

I hope she is pregnant.

It would be nice to have a proper Royal baby again to think on and not the future Malibu drug addict Archie will become.

I’ve had such a bad week. But the fact that so many DLers have such ready knowledge of the history of specific tiaras has perked me right up.

I love all you guys. I mean it. You always cheer me up. Xxoo

I love it. The dress is lovely and really suits her, soft, romantic, set off with her long loose-curled hair and being symbolic of the queen’s favor and suitable for a simple ceremony in the plague years. She’s worn some tacky outfits over the years, her taste is questionable but this was perfect.

If she’d had a big elaborate wedding like Eugenie, the dress would not have worked, it isn’t grand enough. But for a small, informal event—albeit attended by the queen—it was an excellent choice.

History ALWAYS consoles, r438. Always. I love you too.

So funny, when I first posted this it took a while to pick up. I thought "I hope they don't ignore this" (lol)...the American gurls weren't up yet.

Rolls eyes at R413.

Andrew picked that white van. It has "FREE CANDY FOR KIDS!" written on the sides.

R437, Eugenie's husband is the UK brand ambassador for Casamigos tequila, co-owned by Rande Gerber and George Clooney and that Mike guy. So, there's already a kind of connection between the York daughters and Presley Gerber.

I thought Clooney sold out his interest in the tequila company a few years ago and Jack doesn't work for the company anymore either. Open to correction.

Everyone talks about the Queen's various favorites and seems to mostly overlook Zara, Princess Anne's daughter who is allegedly The Queen's absolute all round favorite.

Oh, DEAR.

They should name a prison after him, The Prince Andrew Prison for Paedophiles, it has a good ring to it.

The Queen and old Philip standing there all smiles with the young couple, the radiant bride dressed in the Queen’s gown and tiara, all during a pandemic - quite a statement. So poignant. Loved it.

Scum will breed scum

Something about that photo of Bea peeking out of the Chapel door under that enormous arch of pink and white flowers is terribly endearing and romantic. That one photo captured something that nothing in the far more expensive Sussex wedding did.

Bea is neither terribly pretty nor terribly stylish, but she has pretty skin and hair and a decent hourglass sort of figure, not unlike the Queen's in her twenties, so it's not surprising the Hartnell dress worked on her without too much time to spare. I believe Bea is about the same height as the Queen was then, as well.

Bea doesn't look beautiful but she does look authentically lit up with love and happiness, and the dress and the added organza sleeves and one of her grandmother's most prestigious tiaras were, as a totality, inspired for the look of a summer country wedding with a little touch of royal glamour.

Lovely wedding, lovely dress and lovely tiara, but stop trying to convince us that the bride is “not terribly pretty”, she is an eyesore and hardto look at, lets call a spade a spade. She gets PR points for this small wedding for sure, it made the news but is not inviting as much scrutiny.

Seethe Megstans.

Beatrice is ugly.

The problem with the dress, for me, was the hemline. When a contrasting pic was shown next to the queen wearing the dress, where the hemline is tucked under to form an elegant ballon effect, Bea’s rendition appeared a tad too short, and thus, less elegant...but she looked radiantly happy, which went a long way towards compensating for any shortcomings with the dress...

R465 - I thought so, too, at first, but when the Queen wore it, the dress was a mature woman's ballgown, with no sleeves, just straps.

On review, I think the long balloon hem would have worked against the soft puffy organza sleeves, and the shortened hem works better with the slightly "country milkmaid but with tiara" look they correctly aimed for given the size of the wedding.

I note that the veil must have a floor length bit in back that we haven't seen yet, you can see a bit of it gathered behind Bea in the fully outdoor photo.

I do hope they publish more photos, I'd like to the back of the dress and veil.

Rolls eyes at R433.

The "wee wedding" was so Bea could marry her fiance rather than waiting another year.

And she isn't an "aging Princess" she's all of 31 - she is only two years older than Kate was when she married William, and one year younger than Mary Donaldson was when she married Crown Prince Frederik and five years younger than Lady Gabriella Windsor (Pss. Michael of Kent's daughter) was when she got married last year.

But that she wanted to get married and have her own family and stop going to other people's weddings is without doubt true, but that wouldn't make her terribly different from many other women of that age interested in having children - even if they won't admit it in public.

R466, “country milkmaid but with tiara”, while somewhat brutal, is an apt description of the overall look...lol...

For the poster longing for the day when a royal marries an actual other royal for a really drop-dead bang-up royal wedding . . .

Have no fear! I'm growing as fast as I can and Mum and Dad are already speaking privately with Mary and Frederik about Christian . . .

I actually think Bea is almost pretty. I like her big eyes, can live with the overbite and find her face shape and smiliness attractive. An eccentric beauty.

The three York wedding dresses.

Do some of you queens write for Hello! Magazine or does it just seem like you do?

Swipe for three new photos of Bea and Edo's wedding.

Oof, in the up-close picture those sleeves do look awkward, don't they? They should have removed the straps altogether and done a yoke and sleeves. Either that, or they should have gone with the time-honored tradition of making a simple shrug to go over a strapped or strapless wedding gown to make it suitable for church.

Of the 3 York wedding gowns, Eugenie's definitely wins.

R473 - Edo supposedly posted those three photos and then deleted them. Is he already in the doghouse?

The Fringe Tiara. I still prefer Princess Anne's Elizabethan style wedding dress.

Swipe for Princess Anne's wedding dress (her first marriage to Captain Mark Phillips).

Where's the honeymoon? Where will they live? Is she getting $2m to renovate some old cottage?

R225 He's a millionaire in his own right. He has his own business. So he is a millionaire earning it alone and not just because his parent's are rich.

She looks very pretty in her wedding photos. Dress was elegant, not over the top.

I'm glad it was a lovely day. The weather's been awful here in the south of England, awful gloomy overcast - everything looking sad and dirty.

Why wasn't Ed's father at the wedding?

R405 - It appears that the Queen Mother did wear the tiara.

Here she is again wearing it.

Buggy eyes and big overbite are not features of beauty. She is not beautiful not even an odd one. Rather she has distinguishing features that keep her from being entirely forgettable. Not a generic face but not pretty let alone beautiful. Love how diehard BRF fans are now trying to make her sound like a beauty. She looked happy and charming on her wedding day. But don’t let the fact that in the years leading up to it she and her sister were regularly slammed for taking luxury vacations more than working. Why, it’s almost like sleazy dad was funding their jet set lives. The companies they work were fine with them spending half the time on vacation, perhaps they were vanity/ status hires.

Edo seems like a grifter like Meghan. Who the fuck shacks up with his baby mama and romances another woman, with the baby mama having to find out of their split upon return from business trip? He just gives off skeet vibes and perhaps this is why he doesn’t mind being associated with Andrew

I think Bea is SUPER, giddy, happy, don't you? LOL.

R476 R477 - Anne's dress is my personal favourite of all the BRF wedding dresses of her generation. I thought it absolutely marvellous, the sleeves were a triumph of innovation that combined an intensely royal look with simplicity , and Anne looked the best she ever has. The material was gorgeous, as well. Maureen Baker did a bang-up job.

I love the photo of Bea and Edo in the shadow of the tree.

This wedding was pulled together in three weeks, so I'm prepared to cut slack on dress alteration.

Between Bea's pop eyes and gummy overbite, the latter is really her worst feature. Absent those the pop eyes wouldn't be so terrible, and her hair and skin are lovely.

The sparkle of the dress goes with the tiara - perhaps putting a yoke on would have been too much detail, and it would have been inappropriate in church.

I notice it was a double-ring ceremony, which is rare amongst royals.

Edo was happy - in a creepy way. And what the hell did he do to his hair?

^* that is, going strappy without arm covering of some sort would have been inappropriate in church.

A yoke would also have detracted from Hartnell's geometric diamante down the front.

I think they did well enough with the organza sleeves.

[quote] Who the fuck shacks up with his baby mama and romances another woman, with the baby mama having to find out of their split upon return from business trip?

Have you never met any straight men?

R484 - In that set of photos, the Queen is wearing the Fringe Tiara on her head and another one that doubles as a necklace on her neck. That's quite a feat.

Take a gander at the ropes of pearls worn by the the newly minted Queen Elizabeth in 1936 in her photo. I wonder if those were part of the Greville Bequest?

There are a few new photos out. I don’t care what anyone says, she looks like a fairytale princess. Something sort of renaissance about her look. And the little Italian is like a handsome prince.

Double-ring?

It was a perfect restyling by a master, who must have been gobsmacked to work on a Hartnell gown. The length is perfect to walk on the grass. Well done

Yes I agree it’s the combination of buggy eyes and overbite that is unfortunate. If she didn’t have the big overbite and instead had an attractive mouth then she could even be considered attractive in an atypical way. The eyes could be made to look less buggy but the overbite is the dealbreaker to any talk of beauty

Maybe she's one of those kinds of grandmas: when you're in her presence, she whispers "you know, you've always been my favorite...'

I think Bea and Edo look wonderful. That being said, I would love to see some kind of feud or affair between social-climbing Edo and social-climbing Meghan (throw social-climbing Kate in there as well). Eugenia and Zara got lucky with their spouses (even if Zara’s is a cheater).

The wedding dress was meh, the tiara was spectacular and the flowers were divine.

For those of you who like this sort of thing...the hidden meaning of Bea's wedding flowers.

The Italian as some of you call him was born and raised in England.

I assume he's not a Roman.

Flowers and the presence of QE and Phillip made that wedding. What stood out is the fact that this is very likely the last wedding QE and Phillip would both attend. Extra poignancy for the wedding being a small affair due to Covid-19 restrictions and financial implications.

But don’t believe for a minute that Bea wouldn’t have wanted a wedding like her sister’s.

Doesn't she need an Act of Parliament to marry a Catholic?

Edo stepped out on his live-in GF/ baby mama at the same time that he pursued a relationship with Bea. He did the same thing as grifter Meghan did when she cheated on her guy with Harry. But why are royal stans willing to overlook this and are now piling platitudes upon Edo?

The platitudes are exceptionally platte on this thread. It would be good if some of you old girls would lay off the alleged poignancy (and cooking sherry).

Meghan's behavior immediately before and in the days since her wedding is the real issue, R504. If she'd behaved herself impeccably once the engagement ring was on her finger, the shadiness of the BEGINNING of her relationship with Harry would have been mostly overlooked.

Can you imagine if COVID had hit a couple of years earlier, and Meghan had been required to scale down her big wedding to something like what Bea had? The screams would have been audible from space.

[quote]The Italian as some of you call him was born and raised in England.

And he and Bea have known each other since childhood.

They're not Disney characters, they're justified t drawn that way.

The fuck?

They're not Disney characters, they're just drawn that way.

Well, Beatrice's vintage dress made her look like a Disney princess.

Her bouquet was put atop the unknown soldier in Westminster Abbey, per tradition.

Both girls have those teeth. Eugenie and Beetriss. It certainly didn't come from the Bowes-Lyon clan. it was the damned Germans.

Can you imagine if the girls also had Victoria’s receding chin? It’d be trifecta of German royal genetic fuckup.

I think the “milkmaid” description is a lovely compliment. If you didn’t know, from these photos she looks to be in her early 20s. Long loose curls, wide-eyed, the peaches and cream completion, the puff sleeves, the trailing veil, the casual bouquet. It’s a very pretty look.

Wedding gowns are the most uncomfortable outfit a woman ever wears. Very form fitting with no give to the fabric, the fit must be impeccable and rarely is. White! So every wrinkle and stain shows, heavy with a massive train. Scrutinized by all attendees. The stuff of nightmares. Bea avoided all that, clever girl.

She couldn't wear white, not with a bun in the oven. She avoided it alright.

Cream or off-white gowns photograph better in outdoors. That’s why she looked okay. I still think the dress is not ideal because it looks too matronly particularly with hemlines. Like gotta take up the hemline cuz granny might trip on it. The sleeves offer no interesting effect it’s just there. They could’ve reworked the dress so that it is uniquely Bea’s. That’s my main issue with it.

granny might trip on it

The Queen hasn't worn that dress in decades.

r511 kills me.

So important, and so ignored.

Yes we know, R500. Let us have our fun.

At any rate, he's much better looking than the former boyfriend, Dave Clark.

Have the Sussexes publicly congratulated the googly-eyed couple? You know the way they publicly put it out there that they zoomed with QE? Or is Meghan seething over not being told beforehand of the wedding?

The Queen and her Prince Consort both look pretty damn good.

“Do you think the Queen has been enjoying her retirement? With COVID this the most stationery that woman's been since birth.“

Is it 100% confirmed that Sarah and Andrew did not attend? If so, that shit is pretty sad.

Dave Clark: that's an English name. Why is Edo swanning around with his exotic sounding foreign name, confusing the elderly contibutors on this thread?

R523 Drew couldn't get off his shift at Pizza Express.

I wish they had posted a pic without the rose tinted specs filter. On the Queen you can see the colour and detail of the dress more easily here. Also the filter took away the sparkle of the tiara and the diamante on the dress.

Well I don't care, I'm going to continue calling him the little Italian and that's that.

Well done for ol' bug eyes!

I feel so sorry for Fergie. Coronavirus and her pedo ex-husband cockblocked her ability to profit from Bea's wedding.

Too much sparkle for a wedding dress, in my opinion. But the sentimentality appropriately overrides that.

Wait now, Bea wore the Queen's coronation dress?

Does he have a nice (doesn’t have to be grand) ancestral home in Italy? If not , is he wealthy in his own right plus family wealth? He’s short and a known cheat. I don’t know if he’s considered a catch for daughters of wealthy or accomplished families. But good enough for Bea.

Wish Meghan was still in UK so she and fellow grifter can compare notes.

R531, that image is from a state opening of parliament.

Not one mention of Edo's father being present. Sounds like they are estranged...Estrangement from a parent seems to be not altogether unusual.

In r476's photo, it looks like there was something askew about the tiara when The Queen wore it on her wedding day. There is more space between two of the front towers of diamonds (sorry, not the technical term, I know) in that photo than in the other three. There must be a story there. Anyone know?

There has been no photos ever released of Edo and Beatrice with his father. Very strange. It is clear Edo's father wasn't a guest at the wedding, either.

Thanks R533.

R535, the tiara broke the morning of Queenie's wedding and had to be repaired quickly. It comes apart to be a necklace.

Edo's father was present.

I'm guessing Edo would treat Meghan with utmost caution and no intention of associating himself with her.

Will she give up her "career"?

By career do you mean taking vacations half the year?

There is one reason, and one reason only, why Wills and Kate did not attend this wedding. They will never associate in any way with the waster Prince Andrew ever. They will never allow any photographs to be taken of themselves with Andrew in the photo.

He is dead to them.

R540. Well at least Eugenie can accompany her tequila-peddling husband on jaunts to vacation spots where the tequila is being sold. She just needs to wear a Casamigos t shirt to get the free trips now.

He’s gay.

I can't recall ever seeing a wedding dress with puffed sleeves. Long sleeves might have worked better or she could just have gotten another dress. But at least she didn't spend a quarter of a million pounds as MM did for a dress that looked like a painter's dropcloth.

Must say, Dara Huang's father does sound bitter. I guess he's not happy that his bi-racial grandson will remain illegitimate. Perhaps Bea will adopt him.

It's highly unlikely that Dara will give up parental rights to her beloved son. That would have to occur before Bea could adopt.

How much was he dress?

R544 The Princess Di dress had massive balloon sleeve, which set an unfortunate trend for brides of the late 80s.

You mean when it was made for QEII back in 1961?

I still would love to know why Meghan Markle’s dress wasn’t properly altered to fit her. Bizarre

R544 Are you one of those Tumblr cunts who are now dragging Dara into this mess? Someone interviewed Dara’s father when the relationship first broke. Of course he was shocked and saddened for his daughter, what parent wouldn’t? Why are pro-BRF cunts now trying to publicly drag Dara by calling her horrible names while praising Bea and Edo to the hilt? She’s come out publicly supporting her ex and Bea as a couple/ family.

Is this a new dress or her Grandmother's?

Does anyone have a breakdown of the wedding dress costs for the last 10 years of royal brides?

r551, if you'd read the thread you'd see this was an off-white gown by the most famous of all 20th-c. English designers Norman Hartnell that her grandmother owned (Hartnell was her favorite designed for years and years) to which Bea had organza sleeves added.

The bouncy castle obviously was for Edo's son, so he had something to do that was fun during the reception while the adults talked with one another. there might have been other children there.

The Yorks budgeted lots of money for this wedding that they did not have to spend since it became a tiny affair, so they could afford the beautiful flower arch and the bouncy castle.

My theory about Meghan's breaking the news about her pregnancy on Eugenie's wedding day is that she's such a narcissist that seeing Eugenie get all that attention was too much for her. Even normally it would be offensive to upstage a bride on her wedding day, but for the BRF it's even a bigger deal. Princess Margaret was forbidden from announcing her engagement to Anthony Armstrong-Jones for months because the queen was pregnant with Andrew, and royal protocol required that Margaret had to wait.

It must have really annoyed all of them that Meghan couldn't wait until at least the next day to announce her pregnancy.

I doubt though that the Sussexes were purposefully not invited to the wedding. If the Cambridges and the Wessexes and Anne's family were not invited, there's no reason why the Sussexes would have been--obviously they wanted this to be as tiny as possible so as not to tip off the press. It look like what Beatrice most wanted was to have a beautiful wedding with her grandparents, her parents, her sister and his husband, and Edo's nearest and dearest there and no one else.

The failure to invite the Sussexes and the cloistering of Andrew from any cameras sets a marvellous precedence for the BRF to snub them in the future.

My guess for the reason Meghan shared her pregnancy at the wedding: her loose, nontraditional LA upbringing. She doesn’t have a strong sense of traditional social dos and donts. She may have thought a family gathering was the ideal place to share happy news.

She didn't think to ask her ginger husband R558? Never heard of "Stealing thunder"?

She wanted to grab the spotlight for herself. End of story.

Any person with basic manners would know that you don't upstage the bride on her wedding day. That's as well-known a fact in LA as it is in London.

There were at least 3 small children at the wedding: Wolfie was there, and his two small cousins were there acting as attendants. Hence the bouncy castle.

This was Meghan's last chance to upstage a Royal bride, and the Firm saw to it that she went nowhere near this wedding nor had news of it beforehand.

By the time Louise or Charlotte gets married, Meghan and Harry will be long divorced and Harry will attend the weddings with this second wife.

[quote]r291 I don't like Bea's wedding dress at all. Did she have to assemble it herself in parts?

The dress is fine. It's her fucking FACE that's the problem. (As usual.)

It looks like it's swelling and melting at the same time.

Not everyone has an Instagram model face. She looks like a very happy version of herself, which some people are able to appreciate. (Speaking of gingers, red hair is a very nice bridal accessory—it always pops.)

R504 - Oh ffs no one is "heaping platitudes" on Edo.

And he and MM are not an equivalency - he's a minor aristo raised in England with a title however low-grade of his own that she now shares; he grew up in her social circle; he and his family have money.

He and MM both married up, but MM went much farther up from her beginnings.

Yeah, she'd have liked a wedding like her sister. I expect the Queen would have liked that, too. That doesn't mean it wasn't a lovely wedding and what Bea is happiest about is being married.

And she's not an "aging Princess" - she's only two years older than Kate was when she married William, and one year younger than Mary Donaldson was when she married Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, and five years younger than Pss. Michael of Kent's daughter when she got married last year.

The "married by 20" types like Diana didn't do too well, did they?

But she was undoubtedly thrilled to be married. It's probably the career she's best suited to - which Edo probably shrewdly recognised.

A bouncy castle should be a requirement for any wedding that includes kids. Those events suck when you are a kid. They are not much more fun as an adult, but at least there is alcohol and cake.

She's far from beautiful but I hope she's happy. Maybe the sisters can get pregnant at the same time and shove out a couple of brats next year from their semi-royal fannies.

Andrew isn't a paedophile although you haters keep insisting on using the term.

Paedophiilia refers to sex with children under 12, which no one, anywhere, has accused him of.

The complainant was 17 at the time. Age of sexual consent in New York where the "act" took place. As wearily pointed out earlier, that makes him a dirty old man, and profoundly lacking in moral values never mind common sense.

But it doesn't make him a paedophile.

R555 or it was her revenge for tiaragate. Harry warned them that Meghan doesn't get what Meghan wants.

^Oops, that should read "Harry warned them that Meghan gets what Meghan wants."

R550 - Oh shut the fuck off. You give yourself away by adding "cunts" to pro-BRF.

Most us who approve how the BRF and Bea handled her wedding haven't said jack shit about Dara.

You and the few who did are two sides of the same coin.

r531, no that is the Queen at the State opening of Parliament in the picture with the crown on.

[quote]r295 I actually like the dress, it was better than Sparkles

Much as I pity the overly-titted fug, I think wearing a remodeled vintage dress was a good thing for be-boobied B to do at this time.

But Meghan's dress was divine. You have to have standards to appreciate its stark simplicity. She made every other BRF bride look like they were trying too hard.

Did Meg's plain dress really cost 250k?

R575 There is no excuse for how baggy that dress was on her (not just in places like her waist, but in the arms and shoulders). And that’s not Meghan’s fault unless she insisted on that fit (but who would?), that’s poor tailoring and assistance from the dress designer. They should have been tweaking it up to and including the morning of. It’s a mystery...

I did love Meghan’s tiara

Why no images of Eugenie? They haven't even confirmed her attendance. It's really weird TBH.

R575 you misspelled boring.

[quote]r576 Did Meg's plain dress really cost 250k?

I don't imagine she was charged the full price, whatever it was.

And if you find the work of Audrey Hepburn's favorite couturier "plain," well - -

As the Meghan dress-hater, I’ll also say I hated Kate Middleton’s wedding earrings (tacky) and her dress’s lace collar neckline. It’s a lot of pressure...

R578 Maybe a pregnancy announcement tomorrow with another wedding photo of the sisters?

r558, she would by that time have certainly been instructed in royal protocols regarding big announcements. That's just part of marrying into the royal family--they sit you down and explain things like that to you so you don't make big errors.

[quote]r577 I did love Meghan’s tiara

I did, too. It had very elaborate workmanship up close, but looked gracefully simple from afar.

Everyone's gaga about that spikey icicle row the queen leant B, but as far as aesthetics go, it's kind of Frumpy-Olde-World-Russia. That style would be my LAST choice.

Also: it's significant that Beatrice wore off-white since she and Edo had been living together for some time. You don't absolutely have to wear off-white now if you're not a virgin, but it's certainly following protocol to the letter.

Supposedly the Queen was shocked Meghan wore white for her wedding to Harry since it was her second wedding.

Color me old fashioned, but I think a woman pushing 40 wearing the big veil/white dress when she's been married at lest once (maybe twice) is tacky.

Calm your caftans, girls. There are many things to criticize about that yawn of a dress, but brides across the Western World wear white on their wedding day, regardless if they've been married before or live in sin.

[quote] This was Meghan's last chance to upstage a Royal bride, and the Firm saw to it that she went nowhere near this wedding nor had news of it beforehand.

As much fun as this scenario would be, I hugely doubt that there was a sinister conspiracy to keep them excluded.

Since so few people were invited, there would not have been room. I doubt they would have flown out for it even if they were invited given how bad it would look for them to be allowed international travel just for a wedding of a cousin.

Edo's title is not a "real" title, since Italy no longer officially recognizes an aristocracy. It's just a courtesy title.

[quote]r588 I doubt they would have flown out for it even if they were invited given how bad it would look for them to be allowed international travel just for a wedding of a cousin.

and why would they want to hang out with a bunch of racists, anyway?

R559 I agree there was definitely that element, but I maintain there was a touch of not knowing any better, or not realizing it was a tacky thing to do. It was immature, something a teenager would do.

We've had lots of fun over the years poking fun at the York sisters and their bizarre fashion sense. I include myself. But I've also never read any stories of either of them being rude or difficult to other people. They're considered to be among the 'nicest' Royals, despite their constant vacations. So it's been pleasant to celebrate their weddings to attractive men, and wish them the best, in exchange for all the entertainment and gossip they provide.

Do we know how much the dress cost?

The color of the wedding dress should depend on the bride’s coloring. Very few women look good in stark white. Eugenie for example, had the right complexion, dark hair and pale, “winter”. Everyone else does better in an off-white, ivory or cream—especially redheads.

Lots of brides lose weight before the wedding, some deliberately and some because they are too busy organizing it to eat. Alterations are can be finished around two weeks to a month before the date when the gown has its final pressing, bagged with tissue paper, and taken home and hung up. However for a royal wedding, the fashion house should have sent someone to alter it on the spot. MM’s gown was classic but it looked “thick” and fitted badly in the bodice. She might have carried it off if the rest had been perfectly styled. The tiara was fine but the long veil looked silly, over done and the messy, wispy hair was terrible.

The whole thing does have a bit of a Princess Margaret vibe to it. 32 is not old to be single, but when your little sister gets married to a man who clearly adores her, you wasted 10 years on a guy who married someone else 5 minutes after dumping you, all your cousins are married, I can understand grabbing the first available groom.

I've seen plenty of people do it. I'd rather be a spinster than a divorcee, myself.

OP, wa exactly was secret about this wedding?

[quote] It was immature, something a teenager would do.

And yet she was 36 when it happened.

Part 2

[quote] but brides across the Western World wear white on their wedding day, regardless if they've been married before or live in sin.

Before Meghan, though, that was simply not the case in the royal family at all--protocol is much more important for them.

Neither Anne nor Camilla wore white for their second weddings.

A full-length gown with trailing veil is definitely a bit eyebrow-raising for a second wedding, even now. The thought is that you get a chance at your 'princess wedding' the first time around, and after that, you are a mature woman of the world and should be beyond such fripperies. However, since Meghan's first wedding was beachside and her second was to an actual prince, I get why she wanted to go all-out. That said, the dress was badly fitted and the hair was bad. Ironically, the tiara she didn't want was the best part of the ensemble.

R594 Meghan’s wedding day hair was such a shame, ruined the whole effect. Bothers me every time I see a picture from that day. The dress didn’t appeal to me but I see what she was going for - Caroline Bessette Kennedy minimalist whatever, and the hair was part of that “effortless chic” in her mind but it was a real swing and a miss. Or mess. I did very much like the tiara she wore though.

I don't like the groom. He looks shady. Does he have his hair highlighted?

Eugenie's husband is delightful

Thread closed. There, said it!

Bugged-out Beatrice should get those hooters reduced, make her look less of a porker

This thread seems to have a bit more steam left!
