Princess Beatrice's Edo

What's he getting on the side?

^ Shots, Jack, shots 🙄

I follow his Instagram account, it's mainly interiors of buildings he has I guess developed. Very modern minimalist. He's brought some good looks into the family, and seems to appreciate marrying in. One approves!

Creepy dude. Reminds me of David Cameron so how appropriate that he worked for him.

One thing I will say is that Bea's overall grooming, and wardrobe has done a 180 since she got with him.

I'm in the "he's a creep" camp.

I don't know, maybe Edo has a fetish for chubby, bug-eyed princesses 🤔

I think the word Gigolo is Italian. Our boy Edo is an Italian duke or something. So, there you go..Gigolo

Despite the Italian name it seems that Edo was born in the UK and went to Radley College, then Edinburgh University so he's basically totally British.

He is a hustler and grifter. Quickly dropped his beautiful partner and mother of his child for this ugly creature. The only reason has to be he wanted to climb socially. His mother traded up and married a rich Tory. His Italian bio father has no palazzo in Italy to inherit- he doesn't even live in Italy.

DL has to admire him for his charm and ability to ingratiate himself into the BRF - not a hard feat!

Sadly, come Monday when the Queen is placed in the Windsor vault, we shall see very little of this hustler, his wife and the other Yorks. They no longer have someone to protect them from their bad deeds.

A fun fact: Mozzi's stepfather had a heart attack and died while using a porta potty at Glastonbury and his body was not found for almost 2 days.

Also the Mozzis are aristocratic arrivistes: they were only enobled in the early 1900s. And their titles are not recognized in Italy now.

He’s a climber, although he isn’t alone in that in the BRF. But even beyond that, there is something ulterior in his motives that comes clearly through in his expression. I don’t see this ending well for Beatrice. Her long-term boyfriend before Edo was also a smarmy user. She is not the sharpest tool in the drawer.

[quote]A fun fact: Mozzi's stepfather had a heart attack and died while using a porta potty at Glastonbury and his body was not found for almost 2 days.

Haha, this is quite amazing a factoid.

Yes, Bea's last boyfriend - some tech guy, Snapchat? - was a hustler too. Shortly after dumping Bea, he married a beautiful, tall, thin model.

aww she's cute and so is he..he is kind of bug eyed, too

FFS. I can't believe how no one gets irony on this site anymore. In my R8 post I meant he is obviously a gigolo. Oh well

Where have we seen Edo before... 🤔

R11 is just making shit up. His family DOES have an estate in Italy.

Bea Lover at R17 -that estate DOES NOT belong to Edo's father, who resides in France. Therefore, Edo gets NO villa upon daddy's death. Is not his and never will be.

Also, his sister is a chef and her husband works for Edo - clearly little money was passed down to Edo and his sister by their "aristo" family.

@r14, "aww she's cute and so is he..he is kind of bug eyed, too "

Have you seen their kid?

Don't gigilos often have a touch of lavender?

Edo's role model.

Gigolos someone who has sex for money, So all & any are welcome. As long as that splash dat cash!!

It will be very interesting to see what happens to Beatrice and Eugenie’s spouses once the dust has settled from the regime change. All indications are Charles will cut Andrew off permanently. The Daily Mail this morning says Charles wants to rearrange the Counsellor of State roles to remove Beatrice from the position she was moved to automatically, and surround himself with Anne, Edward, William, and Camilla instead. The Queen favored these two princesses of the blood, but Charles will cut the gravy train off. And they won’t find any quarter with William and Kate - Beatrice and Eugenie went to their gran back in the day to get her to enforce the pecking order and force Kate to curtsy to them when alone. Will the husbands stick around for the obscure period?

^ Until tomorrow when Chuckles the King changes his mind again

More on the Kate/Beatrice roller disco feud - in an unfortunate “oversight,” after Beatrice was first left off the guest list, she was then invited but not told it was a costume party, and showed up in street clothes. Tsk tsk. (Kate at her bitchiest and looking cute and healthy back in the day in her disco duds!)

Whoa R21. Great catch, that opening in the car & his face. Edo really got that Gere hair & smirk down pat. Wonder if he has that opening playing on loop.

Beatrice’s earlier worthless boyfriend was Dave Clark. He dated her for ten years, during which he established a career and connections in the UK and US (and she went on a lot of yachting holidays), then dumped Beatrice and married someone else almost immediately.

There used to be more than one Blacks for Trump.

Budget cuts?

^ meant for the Trump rally thread opps.

^This photo beautifully captures the jealousy of those two Yorkies in the presence of tall, slim Kate.

Charles will ban them, of course.

Hanover genes give the boys a window of hotness before they turn into gargoyles. But are merciless to some of the women.

Okay, he might be an opportunist but so far I haven’t read anything scandalous since the marriage. Bea’s improved wardrobe is a plus.

Yeah, he seems like an opportunist who probably married her for status. I can’t see someone like him going for her otherwise. At least he has some status of his own, unlike a complete grifter like Sam Ashgari.

R25, Kate seems like such a mean girl, although it’s kind of refreshing to see a multi faceted person not a robot. The pic at R29 appears misleading, sounds Iike a Kate obsessed frau from the DL wrote that caption.

[quote] Kate seems like such a mean girl, although it’s kind of refreshing to see a multi faceted person not a robot

Kate when her catty side comes out is the most interesting person in the BRF (see: Rose Hanbury snub drama), but that side is allowed to escape less and less often, unfortunately.

I think Bea is getting some prime grade A Italian dick and doesn't care he's a bit of a grifter.

^ When it's sexy time Edo brings out the sexy black feedbag for Bea 😜

Beatrice just needed to get married once and have one child to hold her head up among the other royals, so I am sure she will be okay if he leaves her. Sam,e with Eugenie.

R36 Alas Edo has a half English dick, so maybe not so good as pure Italian dick.

His father, now...that is pure Italian dick. Bea should have married him.

R34 I think Kate is horrid in her own unique way and by no means am I a Kate "stan".

Those Yorkie girls sure hated her at first, of course - beautiful, tall, slim and going to be a Queen. These Yorkie girls were raised by emotionally primitive parents, so of course that fucked them up. But they behaved in an atrocious manner to Kate in the early years.

Jokes on them because it is WILLIAM who is behind getting their father exiled and he will make sure they follow him.

The york's prodgeny is really hard to look at

The Mozzi family have a noble history dating back a millennium. The new title created in the early 20th century was because the original title was dying out through lack of male heirs and a new title was created for the husband of the female heir.

And Alessandro Mapelli-Mozzi is very much the owner of the Mozzi's historical estate.

I'm guessing he's 100% Italian from the waist down. Otherwise Bea wouldn't have married him.

Kate does seem quite fabulous. I wish more of her bitchiness was exposed. If she looks at Meg in a certain way, we'll hear about it in her next interview.

Hopefully the Italian part of him is in the dick department.

[quote] The york's prodgeny is really hard to look at

Much like your spelling and punctuation.

I just looked at a bunch of photos of him - he’s gorgeous. I’m sorry, but she is as ugly as that girl from “Welcome to the Dollhouse”. He must be screwing get for money. No one that good looking would marry the likes of her for any other reason.

Hey Bea stan R42 How come none of that mysterious wealth has passed to any of the "Count"'s children??

Also their British education is not exactly what you would expect from children of a wealthy aristocrat. No indeed.

And explain the Mozzi daughter working as a cook and he husband doing temp work for Edo....

Edo's father has zero money, and Bea's father knows this and was desperately trying to get her to be a working royal. King Charles and William said NO.

The Yorkies will live good and decent lives (both in the UK and in Portugal) but they will never be wealthy . Their depraved father needs to accept this.

They both seem like simple types, no real intellect at all - they should be happy with their time share in Portugal.

Story about the Hanovers. When they arrived in London people ran next to one of the princess’s carriage shouting. “Pug nose, pug nose”. The princess turned to an English Lady and asked “Was means pug nose?” To which the English Lady replied “It means Long Live Your Royal Highness.”

As someone else noted, Bea's appearance has improved since her marriage, while her sister has adopted a perma-scowl, so clearly Bea is doing better in that respect. Though quickly dumping his baby mama for a princess speaks of Kardashian-level bad judgement on her part. If things turn south, it's hard to imagine him sticking around.

It's clear Charles has to make some hard choices, but if the Queen told him to look out for the girls since they'd been unfairly saddled with wastrel parents, I can't see him not at least throwing her a bone & giving her some minor duties

I wanna hear more about Kate’s catty side. Who has details?

[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.]

No wonder Bea was desperate. How humiliating to be dumped for a much smarter and much more beautiful woman...

Well Edo is way better looking than Dave Clark.

I mean I'd eat Edo's ass out.

That's cool and all, R48, but who ever said they were rich?

Of the 2 York girls Bea is the one who married well - he's good-looking (which the specific York gene pool badly needs), he seems discreet, he has a pedigree and as far as I'm aware it was well over with the baby mama before he got with Bea. For some reason he gives off a vibe of being able to handle himself well socially and within the family and I think both York girls needed someone able to do that. Only one of them got it.

Oh dear, R56, those fangirls of former fattie Bea insist that her husband is fabulously wealthy.

One needs only to review what schools he attended to realize NOPE, he did not start off well in life, for a smarmy social climber.

And where you went to school is EVERYTHING to these Brit aristos.

Edo is out of the loop there, but by seducing poor ugly Bea, he he improved his standing.

And the idiot Bea married him so shortly after Edo's girlfriend gave birth.

Just awful optics...

Radley College is considered a bad school?

Those fugs with big hips and big eyes and pedo father genes are just useless. I can’t wIt for Charles to get all King on their ass and dump the whole lot of them. Andrew’s a pedophole soon to be ex prince and his daughters look like the ugly stepsisters in Cinderella. Bye Felicia is what both their Hooker Husbands for Hire will say when they lose Royal status!

The baby mama doesn’t seem to mind being royal adjacent now.

I must be a bigger homo than I realized, because my find Bea nice looking. In some ways, I find her more physically attractive than Kate, who frequently looks haggard.

R61, why so much vitriol? They don’t seem like terrible people to me. They shouldn’t be lamed for the sins of their father.

R63, I think what kills her looks is her mouth.

R61 is Kate.

[quote] I wanna hear more about Kate’s catty side. Who has details?

The roller disco story above is as public as she’s ever gotten about it, but that general time period was fun due to her campaign of party girl terror trying to show William what he was missing after he dumped her. There was apparently a big dispute about her participating in a public dragon boat race for charity (which the Palace thought was unseemly, for some reason unfathomable to me? It was a healthy activity for charity!) and William got back with her just a handful of days before the race, at which point she dropped out! A lot of writing about her tends to give strategic credit to her mother as the plotter, but that seems a little unfair to Kate. I don’t think we’ll ever know the real story of how she angled herself into this position, sadly for fans of precipitous social climbs.

God, remember when William broke up with Kate? Huge story at the time. Must have been very hard for her but she showed her mettle. I think her mother and sister are a massive source of support and strategy for her, probably to this day.

[quote] Alas Edo has a half English dick, so maybe not so good as pure Italian dick.

Regardless, it's uncut dick.

[quote] more physically attractive than Kate, who frequently looks haggard.

She's not aging well. Hard faced frau is what I see.

R63 It’s always strange to me when people on here try to tout Kate as being some sort of exceptional beauty. She’s plain and aging very rapidly.

People can hate on him all they want but he clearly the hottest man in the RF right now. So Princess Beatrice won in that regard. Eugenie's husband is also attractive. The blood royals all look like variations of rodents once they hit 35.

[quote] I think her mother and sister are a massive source of support and strategy for her, probably to this day.

Her brother and her father too.

They're a very close-knit family, the Middletons, which is why they were and are so appealing for poor William, who is from such a broken family.

The father and Edo are counts and yes own that palace in Italy. I sure would love to see some interior photos. I have a feeling the father has been selling off the treasures from that pile for years.

R23 ...that’s kind of sad as it certainly isnt Bea or EuGs fault their father is what he is. The queen obviously loved the girls.

I think you are right, if they are downgraded to whatever, their guys will bolt...

I'm not so sure about that, R74. The impression I get of Eugenie's husband is that he's good husband material. He seems loving and maybe even a little too sensitive--I've seen him a couple of times (in pictures) with tears in his eyes in public. I think she hit the jackpot, and that Beatrice's husband might indeed be a bounder. Or maybe he'll stick with her for the long run. He's like the Eddie Cibrian of the Royal Family.

[QUOTE] Beatrice and Eugenie went to their gran back in the day to get her to enforce the pecking order and force Kate to curtsy to them when alone

Did the queen make Kate curtsy? That kinda doesn’t bother me though.

With the right handler Bea could move to the US and be a Gloria Vanderbilt or Zsa Zsa Gabor type. She could play Funny Girl.

Why was Kate organising charity events if she was a BRF dumpee?

One thing to remember is that Bea and Edo have known each other since childhood. Their families were good friends and socialized. They've traveled in the same social circles their whole lives. So their were no surprises when they decided to marry. They both knew exactly what they would be getting.

[quote] Did the queen make Kate curtsy? That kinda doesn’t bother me though.

Kate had to curtsy to the queen every time she meet her--same with every other woman in the kingdom.

The women of the royal family do not curtsy to one another in private except to whomever is His or Her Majesty, and they all have to do it every time they see the King and Queen. In public there is an elaborate order they follow, and before Elizabeth II died both Camilla and Kate had to bow to all princesses of the blood: Anne, Alexandra of Kent, and the York sisters. Now they all have to curtsy everywhere to Camilla and in public to Kate.

^ I'd go nuts trying to remember who gets a curtsy/bow and when 🥴

[quote]they all have to do it every time they see the King and Queen.

No. They only curtsy/bow the first time they see them in a day. So if you see them curtsy in public, it means it's the first time they've seen each other that day. If they don't curtsy, it means they've already met, privately or publicly, earlier in the day.

When the Japanese Empress arrives in London for the funeral Bea can ask her about their Edo period.

I think Kate is attractive, more so then Bea or Pippa. That said, she is not aging well and hasn’t been for some time. She’s going to have to go the full on cosmetic surgery route eventually or else becoming another Anne is in her future. I thought her style and look would evolve, like Diana’s did, but it never happened. She should get new people for styling. Enough with all the boring dress coats and maybe change up the hats, if she must wear them (she looks so much better without them).

r80 in your first sentance you say the women (I assume you mean the men as well) don't curtsey to each other, just the monarch, Then you say they do curtsey to each other on first greeting, so which is it?

I thought i heard they do curtsey to each other based on rank, just like Diana had to in this clip. Kate as a simple Royal Duchess had to curtsey to all princesses of the blood when no with William. When with William she retains his rank and they would all have to curtsey to her. Now that she's princess of wales under her mother's rules nothing would change, but Charles may correct that. I only say that because that's how it was under Diana and we know darn well QEII wasn't going to place Camilla before her own blood.

r85 of course the scene from the Crown still gets it wrong. Lady Diana should have bowed to the Queen > Queen Mother > Phillip > Charles > Anne > then last would be Margaret. I assume they just edited it to cut out more bowing.

Where do Bea and Udo live? Do they have an apartment in Kensington Palace too?

R87, if I'm not mistaken, I believe they have an apartment at St. James' Palace.

Edo is cute, but looks feminine like a Ftm tranny.

R86 You obviously don't know the first thing about royal rules. Men bow. Women curtsy.

^ Most Americans don't, for good reason

(Being anti-monarchy is in our constitution)

I hope so for the girls sake r75 ....they deserve some happiness. Growing up they fell into the Chelsea Clinton, Amy Carter category of having awkward looks that would take yrs to grow into. They are both very cute but considered homely by most standards. That said you never heard a bad word about either one of them

" That said you never heard a bad word about either one of them "

"I would like to add a few words if I might?"

[quote] That said you never heard a bad word about either one of them

When they were in their late teens and early to mid 20s there were a lot of bad words. Not about the girls personally, but the fact that their security was still being paid for by the taxpayer 24/7 and the Yorkies were always out night clubbing at all hours with additional security in tow at additional cost.

The Daily Mail used to rag on them for their constant holidays. Despite having “jobs”, every month they’d be photographed on some Greek or Caribbean island.

r94 again, that wasnt their fault but the fault of the monarchy.and going on constantly holiday r95 doesnt cut it either...they never called anyone f*gs, used the n word...typical deplorable stuff.. being .not smart and “idiots”well, so are many, many others...thats just reaching

Beatrice seems like a fairly nice girl. I don't think I've ever seen Eugenie without thinking she looked like a thunder-faced cunt.

He's a social climber looking for money and prestige and the silly bitch is looking for hot dick and thinks he loves her. Christina Onassis comes to mind

Bea's a good, unassuming girl who was very close to her grandparents, perhaps even closer to them than to her parents.

Eug is a bit of a famewhore sometimes.

He’s smarmy, but as long as he treats her well and doesn’t totally embarrass her, it’s all good. Someone else posted about the attitude toward women like Bea, and I’ve seen it okay out a few times in real life. They are encouraged by their discouraged mamas to marry any man they can catch, get a baby from him and — then it doesn’t matter what happens. The stigma of “spinster” is much greater than “divorcee”. If you manage to get some guy to marry you and put a baby in you is PROOF that at least someone wanted you.

I am not even kidding. Wish I were. I’ve heard a woman actually say this to her single daughter, explicitly. This woman has terrible taste in men, bad and brief relationships with every single one. She didn’t get married, but she did have a kid with a loser ex with an addict gene. Full approval and support of her mother.

At least Bea has her family to help her out if it goes sideways. Edo is probably smart enough to keep the charade going.

I don’t get why everyone thinks Edo is such a cad. He had a relationship that didn’t work out, but the baby mama seems to be enjoying her new royal connection. Edo has been nothing but well behaved since he married in.

R101, it's because he's Continental, and an adventurer!

R100, I was wondering when you'd show up. You've been going on and on for the past two years with that line, "Bea needs to have a baby and get divorced rather than become a spinster."

WTF. Women aren't so concerned about the label of "spinster" anymore. And they don't need to get married or even date a man to have a baby...if that's what they want.

And who knows...maybe he loves her. (Not everyone is vain and dismissive of potential mates they rate lower than a 9.) Maybe they'll be together for 30 years.

[quote]WTF. Women aren't so concerned about the label of "spinster" anymore. And they don't need to get married or even date a man to have a baby...if that's what they want.

That might be true of Bea had a legitimate career or prospects - but she doesn't, she's not unattractive, but she's no ravishing beauty either & she's the daughter of an incredibly needy woman. R100's assessment of the situation seems spot on

Kind of reminds me of Christina Onassis - a very unattractive woman marrying a gorgeous guy and I think it will end in a similar fashion. Edo's baby mama is *gorgeous* but he is clearly a social climber/incredibly class conscious.

Marrying Bea must have done wonders for his business.

I get "mo" vibes from Edo even though he has a child from a previous relationship and one with Beatrice. That being said, apparently Edo & Beatrice have known each other their whole lives so I think she'd know if he were a cad.

I wonder what his relationship with his previous partner was like. She's a very successful architect with her own design firm with international offices, IIRC. It kind of sounded like she was the bigger bread winner in the family. Too busy for Edoardo?

Wrong, Edoardo is not the best -looking royal man, Arthur Chatto, Princes Margaret's grandson is, and he actually has royal blood.

Chatto is almost a fat now.

He looks like a dyke.

Arthur Chatto joined The Royal Marines a year or two ago. I doubt he's gotten fat.

R107, she’s a beautiful and successful Asian woman. I think she was another one who just wanted a good-looking sperm donor with a pedigree. She seems like an ambitious attention-seeking person, but whatever. Good for her.

Interesting that they didn’t marry.

They seem to have a cordial relationship, co-parenting. It’s modern and probably nice for the kids if it really does work as it appears. I know a few families like this, and it’s a good thing.

At least her son (and by extension she) gets to be royal-adjacent.

Edo.

R112, her kid is cute, but like most Asian/white mixes, the kid looks 100% Asian.

What’s his Instagram account (mentioned at R3)?

Is he the one The Windsors mocks by having him sell time shares in Portugal?

He IS a count and I don't know why it isn't accepted. Italy is a republic now, but historically other monarchies continued to accept royalty and nobility from countries that had gone republican or -as in the cases of various smaller German or Italian states- ceased to exist entirely. The last Austrian Empress was a princess of Parma, which hadn't been an independent country in her lifetime. Bea should be a HRH and a Countess and if they have a son he should be a count, though not HRH.

[quote]I know exactly how Beatrice and Eugenie feel when they're photographed next to Kate

Half of the problems that Beatrice and Eugenie suffer when compared to Kate are of their own making.

Yes, they're physically less attractive, and no, I'm not suggesting they lose weight or some such.

But, they make horrible clothing choices that are neither stylish nor flattering. I could see if they bought cute stuff, but their figures didn't work. But, they buy ghastly clothes AND it looks horrible on them. If they'd just wear decent clothes 90% of the mockery would vanish.

Ghastly. Just ghastly.

I thought that Bea looked quite nice on the Xmas Day pap stroll to church - Euge just looked as though she grabbed whatever coat would cover up the pregnancy.

I’ve noticed that Edo when in public has impeccable manners. I also doubt that he married Bea for money as as a property developer in London he probably has plenty of his own, and if Andrew, who is quite rich, predeceases Fergie, that drunk ginger bint will get through it all, no doubt.

Mateo Oxley portrays Edo on The Windsors.

Mateo Oxley again.

[quote] Back to normal! Princess Beatrice resumes her usual engagements following a jam-packed Coronation weekend as she delivers a speech at Oscar's Book Prize at The Ivy

I think the cynical take is the more accurate one, OP.

R123, That's a dress I might have worn as a teacher in 1975. Adequate, but hardly "sophisticated."

[quote]Also the Mozzis are aristocratic arrivistes: they were only enobled in the early 1900s. And their titles are not recognized in Italy now.

New money! You gotta hold those bills up to the light!

Edo and Bea comprise the alternate ending to "The Heiress."

I love the navy dress. Very "Little House on the Prairie"!

"Ma, the covered wagon's arrived!"

[quote]Cute, right?

Fuck no. He's creepy looking.

R123, what normal engagements?

I've a feeling it will be announced before the end of the year that Bra and Edo are expecting their second child together.

Bea looks miles better since she married Edo, and even after having had a baby, she's thinner than she's ever been. I despaired of her ever losing those Fergie-esque hips. She looks happy and confident as well.

People talk about Edo being a social climber marrying into the York family. I would have thought the opposite, that he had made a huge step down, having in-laws like Fergie (a joke) and Andrew (a national disgrace). He could have married someone like Beatrice Borromeo, a beautiful, accomplished Italian aristocrat who married Pierre Casiraghi.

[quote]They seem to have a cordial relationship, co-parenting. It’s modern and probably nice for the kids if it really does work as it appears. I know a few families like this, and it’s a good thing.

I don't really know about that. She was VERY, VERY angry when it was reported that her ex and the Princess were dating. She went to the tabloids and complained. The royals must have threatened her, with the possibility of bad press, being made a social pariah or they paid her off.

I think she had said they weren't broken up and he dated the Princess behind her back. Whatever it was, in the next couple of week she was playing happy families like nothing had happened.

Whatever it was, There's a possibility she'll write a book down the road.

Evidently she was planning their wedding and he called it off overnight and hooked up with Beatrice the very next day (although he'd been secretly seeing Beatrice behind her back).

There isn't anything attractive about either of those women. Bea just has a dumb cow look all the time and uge looks lke her ugly father with her fat self and heavy jaw. They've got absolutely no sense of style and those hats and fascinators look ridiculous.

R132, Edo married into the BRF. If you think that this is a "step down" for one such as he, you simply don't know your social ladders!

Ms. Borromeo, she of the ownership of the Borromean Islands, wouldn't have given wannabe Edo a cursory glance! Marrying a beautiful blond scion of the Monagesque RF? Yes, please!

One of her ancestors should be revered by DL: St. Charles Borromeo, patron saint of obesity and dieting!

Yes very cute OP. I noticed him at the coronation. Beatrice did well for herself.

But the Grimaldis are utter trash, R136. Stephanie and Caroline were known for scandalous behaviour in their youth. How many illegitimate children does Albert have? Pierre did very, very well to snare Beatrice; she could have had anyone.

Gay! Gay! Gay!

He’s a midget which means he’s a 6, max. He’d be a 6.5/7 if he were fully grown. But considering she’s a 2, he definitely has a side piece(s). He’s in it for the benefits although he should’ve done his research. Beetroot and Eugene are Yorks, genetically ugly and ethically toxic. Good luck with that, Edo.

The helpless citizens of countries with royal families do realize those of democratic countries regard “royal” families as a criminal enterprise, right?

Anachronistic, sure. But eye watering decadence, moral rot, and pointlessness are traits which are rightfully looked down upon in the rest of the civilized world. Public theft is prosecuted. But the Brits and others whistle a tune while self possessed and completely un-self aware “royals” promote themselves as “working” aka professional ribbon cutters, and socialites extraordinaire while amassing ill gotten riches and serving no purpose but to themselves and the maintenance of their lifestyle.

Yikes

I want to see nudes. I've seen swimsuit photos. He's got a perfectly thin toned gigolo body. I want to see the Italian goods.

Gigolo written all over him. Cute and charming.

I have to be suspicious of any man who would marry that princess.

Come on.

To this guy's credit, Bea's never looked better and he always seems congenial (though not overly friendly) to Haz, doesn't make a spectacle of himself & appears at least very low key/ no drama. He's probably a great addition to the BRF - aspirational enough to enjoy the lifestyle but well-bred enough to understand (and be able to execute) the assignment.

r141 And yet America is a plutocracy run by the rich for the rich and some of the more progressive egalitarian societies in the west are constitutional monarchies like Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden and Norway. Your argument relies heavily on overblown caricature.

Her jaw has its own post code.

R145 sure gurl. whatever makes it easier.

R145 your counter is to cite Scandinavia while saying the words “egalitarian” and “royal” in the same sentence?

You sound ridiculous and clearly don’t understand the meaning of the words. 🙄

Looks like Malcolm in the Middle kid

r148 Sorry but do you understand the concept of degree? I never said Scandinavian countries were totally equal but more equal and more to the point more egalitarian/equal than the USA. Name me a western country that is 100% equal and tell me which Scandinavian countries are more unequal than the USA. If you don't think america is a plutocracy then you clearly haven't been being attention or clearly don't understand. Monarchy is an imperfect system on a menu of imperfect systems. A man who tried to orchestrate a violent overthrow of a Presidential election in the US is now a serious contender to get his partys Presidential nomination for next year. In a healthy democracy and society that shouldn't be a remote possibility. So realistically, as I'm sure most sensible US Dataloungers understand but a loud minority don't, America has nothing to be smug about. Less than 3vyears ago over 200 years of democracy was nearly pushed over.

r147 The wealth gap between rich and poor is much higher in the US than in any of the countries I listed but you continue with your narrative over inconvenient reality-gurl.

R150 R151 lol

[quote] lol

LoL! :)

Fast talking Euro probably ate her stink box for her first time and she had her first little quivering down there. Daft cow thinks it's love.

It is!

I love the casual photos Edo has been taking of her lately.

To show her softer side.

Miss SurvivingAngel should have cited Japan, too, and then perhaps reflected that almost invariably the more culturally and socially homogeneous nations are those with high positive marks for equality and quality of life.

The US is not the only country whose heterogeneous, multi-cultural, socially stratified populous sees inequity, conflict, prejudice and snarks such as she who consider only the explanations that fit her prior conclusion.

Edo = Tom Wamsgams

Edo looks like Ben Mulroney, ughhh

r157 Not the one in the developed world no but the US is out of developed western nations the most unequal. The UK is not too great statistically on these measures either but the countries I mentioned that have monarchies are more equal.It proves the principle that constituitional monarchies in themselves are not the automatic causes of inequitable societies or societies bein less progressive or liberal. If the UK is more unequal and less progressive than say Denmark then its not as a result of the monarchy.

R138, Stephanie, yes, was a "wild child." Caroline, no; married at 22 (yes, to Junot the grifting older cad, but the marriage was not le scandale). Albert, quite the roue', 'tis true.

But a Grimaldi can run away to the circus or father illegitimate children; a Windsor can crown his former mistress Queen; a King of Spain can have innumerable affairs; etc.

The royals can be "trash," as you put it. But the monarchies as status-infused institutions cannot.

I've heard from gan-gan that he's masssive hung and unmutilated. One day, I will muster up my courage, and cop a feel of his massive salami, and report back to you, pleb homos.

Edo is sweet, he made sure Harry had a friend at the Coronation 🙂

Edo was on babysitting duty that day, it was his turn to take care of the family's village idiot.

R29 This is also an outrageously, grotesquely ugly dress for her figure and her posture is that of a cave troll. Kate isn't that pretty. She's slim and looks like a mannequin. Utterly harmless. The problem is hardly being photographed together with her when you dress up like Bea? The other? I keep mixing them up.

R29, she has/had scoliosis which may explain the cave troll realness.

She has ample bosom and hips with a small waist: Eugenie would look stunning with the appropriate dress shapes. Instead, she drowns herself in exaggerated A-lines.

Soft layers to hide the heavy jaw and make-up to accentuate her eyes, further drawing focus from her lower face.

As for Beatrice…Edo is doing what he can with his (alleged) limited funds. I see she wears a Juste Un Clou yet her credit cards got declined at some event. How does that even happen?

@r164 Looks like the "village idiot" is about to take down the Court Jester and all that goes with that

Only obsessed Sussex stinkfish like R167 give a fuck about that Piers Morgan guy.

^ Fucked-face assholes like you seem to care enough to comment

[quote] Worked for David Cameron so must be a Tory.

Guess what, OP? The entire Windsor clan are a bunch of Tories.

^ I think the Windsors are a lot worse than just a "bunch of Tories" 😳

r170 Charles seems to be at odds with the tory government. He also recently had Leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer and his wife stay over at Windsor Castle so I don't think it's as clear cut as you say. Politically Charles is hard to pigeon hole.

[quote] He also recently had Leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer and his wife stay over at Windsor Castle

Swinger orgy, no doubt.

Lol r173 You never know!😉

Starmer’s wife resembles Catherine Zeta-Jones so maybe Charles is tired of the horsey look.

R172, Charles might differ on some issues with the the current government (let's call him a compassionate conservative), but take a look at the shape of the villages and development of the landholdings of the Duchy of Cornwall under his tenure as Prince of Wales. They are a conservative wet dream. Keir Starmer at Windsor for the weekend is currying favor. A Labor government will abolish the House of Lords. Scottish independence might mean a republic north of the border. A bicycling monarch is one easy step away from abolition of the monarchy.

Scratch the surface...they're all Conservatives.

Let's Storm the Palace!!!

R160, whether or not a monarchy exists in "better" or "worse" nations is an excellent example of the difference between association and causation/substantial influence. It is an interesting point, and homogeneous nations, especially those of a limited size, do tend to have retained monarchy, but....

Princess Beatrice's big eyes make her look like she's had some weird instagram filter permanently applied to her face.

Is there a country more class conscious than England? Of course he married her for the prestige/career advancement/money. Also his family is NOT rich. Just because he has a title does not mean that he is wealthy.

[quote] Also his family is NOT rich. Just because he has a title does not mean that he is wealthy.

Bea’s own grandfather had title but was not rich.

R179, India makes the English look like amateurs when it comes to class-consciousness.

Punch and Dalit!

I think he’s gay as a goose. She dresses better than ever. It’s a marriage of convenience, he gets the Royal cache and she gets a man way above her league for photo ops.

He's gayer than Liberace's Christmas tree.

Still, over the years he has emceed events for the Diocese of Brooklyn, so while out to family and friends, he may not be out to the public at large.

[quote] over the years he has emceed events for the Diocese of Brooklyn

Edo has?

He was raised Anglican. His mother his English. Hardly likely R184.

Anglican or Angli can't?
