Don't understand why Andrew doesn't stand next to Eugenia in the family photo and then Fergie and then Beatrice.

The kids can’t sit in front of the Queen? So the line of adults has to extend all the way around? Kind of makes Beatrice look lonely. Also its funny my eyes immediately went searching for a Middleton haha. I’m so used to them all hamming it up for every royal photo they can squeeze into.

What a weird thing to say. You mean the Middletons shouldn't appear in any family portraits having to do with Kate or their grandchildren?

Np but yes. My parents and inlaws don't see each other. Same with our siblings' parents and inlaws.

Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. The Middletons are every bit grandparents, just as Prince Charles is.

She’s a blood princess of the realm. You can’t raise a person in a palace, surrounded by servants and people curtsying to her and calling her an HRH, and then expect her to be a regular middle class person. That’s just dumb.

Either do away with the monarchy or don’t but these halfway measures (Harry gets a splashy wedding but his first cousin doesn’t) are contradictory and ridiculous.

There are a lot of halfway measures - it's a hierarchy based on your distance from the throne. Harry's other first cousins (Prince Edward's children) are not HRH and wouldn't get this splashy wedding either. Princess Anne's daughter Zara - also a granddaughter of the Queen and not HRH either - was married in a much more modest ceremony.

Eugenie is not a working member of the royal family (like Harry is) and certainly didn't need this much fanfare made about her marriage to a commoner. She'll return to her job and so will he.

Anne and Edward’s children don’t have an HRH but only because their parents declined those titles at their birth. Otherwise they would.

Anne raised her kids to know that they wouldn’t be representing the monarchy as adults (and therefore getting paid to do so). Sophie has also mentioned raising her kids with the intention of them being self supporting as adults.

That wasn’t how the York girls were brought up until late teens/early twenties. A lot of damage had probably been done by then.

Anne and Sophie are smart and planned well for their kids. Once Charles ascends to the throne everything will be focused on his heirs and the rest will just become extended family.

I hope that means we won’t see Megan. There’s just something about her that makes me dislike her

Sweetheart, don't worry - high melanin isn't' contagious.

Fergie released a new picture today looking god-awful. If you told me that woman is 54, I’d say you’re lying.

Aw, if Fergie approved the release, I’m guessing she liked the waistline in this pic. And 3 green dresses for the celebrations I think.
BTW, I’m about the same age and while I think I’m in better shape than Fergie, our faces look about the same.

Have you tried retinol, vitamin C infusions plus Botox?

Well, she's 59 so edging up on 60. But she looks worn. I think that Camilla has a similar wear but because she is living a happier life, it suits her better. Harry's ex Chelsy Davy is going to go the same way.

Not the PP, but give it a rest, will you? Not everything is about racism.

You’re right, they’d be lying.

I personally think she's bearding for him. Why else marry her and let her have affairs from the get-go?

Maybe on occasion, Andrew may dabble in same-sex but his reputation is for young girls, possibly too young.

They've both said they wouldn't have divorced if it hadn't been for the papparazi/media circus in the 80s/90s putting so much pressure on them, and also the fact that they don't receive the income from the gov't necessary to keep up the level of clothes/jewels/etc. that would have let Fergie off the hook when it came to being called "fumpie," etc..

For many years, they still spent much of the year together. After the girls got older, Fergie moved to the US, I think.

Some of you may not be old enough to remember, but there was almost as much media coverage of her as of Diana, and it was much less kind. And look what happened to Diana!

There's a third person in Eugenie's second official wedding photo.

Top left corner. I wonder who she is? We'll find out soon enough.

Turns out, the mystery woman is Cressida Bonas.

I can’t wait for Beatrice’s wedding! It will probably be as big if not bigger!

I love the emerald green and royal blue color scheme.

What is wrong with her hip area? Why does it look like there is weird bunching up of fabric under the dress? Couldn't she just wear Spanx?

I loved, loved, loved her tiara. Fabulous piece of jewellary. Sarah Ferguson could have looked better without her visigoth hat!

Agreed! I liked both dresses, though could have done without the cape-like bit on the second one. They were both flattering on her figure and colouring, and I thought the emeralds on the tiara were particularly striking with her auburn hair. She did absolutely miles better than I expected based on some of the other things she's worn over the years.
