Correct.

Nope. He deliberately leaves any room or estate even if she’s going to be present - even if the Queen sticks around.

He refuses to see her or acknowledge her existence he’s got a lot more backbone and sensibility than Andrew.

Are they not going to do the traditional family picture after the wedding?

What about the queen? Does she talk to her?

The Queen does. There are photos of them together at this year's Royal Ascot. The Queen is warm toward Fergie because she is still very important to Andrew, who is her favorite child.

Is there an online resource/book I can read to get the inside scoop on the royal relationships? I find this fascinating but don't know much.

Yes, but only the family present participates...and even then only the 'immediate' family does. Charles' siblings weren't in H+M's photos. I'm curious to find out if Andrew will include cousins and his siblings though. Oh, and Fergie...because that'll be the first official royal photo she's in in 20 years.

But it will be weird if Eugenie's grandfather attends but refuses to sit for the photographs because of his ex-DIL.

I predict Kate will be in another frumpy coat dress.

I’ll doubke your predication and say it will be a frumpy off-white coat dress.

Let’s pray it’s not mauve.

We got mauve/deep purple today so at least on this we're safe.



Side note - how, HOW, does someone manage to turn Anne of Green Gables into a cowgirl?

Yes...which is probably why he's unlikely to attend. He can say its because of age or the weather.

Super-cute from the back though.

No one knows who Eugenie is. Each network airing a royal wedding loses millions in TV ad and spot revenue which is offset by the audience the royals bring in. No one thinks this is worth it.

She’s quite unfortunate looking.

She sort of does but no one ever accused Queen Elizabeth II of being beautiful. She's stately, sometimes pretty, and regal. That's about it. Which is why Prince Phillip was such a catch. He was penniless but one of the handsomest royals in Europe at the time.

Back in the day, Prince Andrew was the hot brother.

Disagree. Prince Edward had them all beat by a 100 yards.




Andrew at his best -

Fergie will be there. Princess Anne's current husband wasn't in any of her kids' official wedding pictures but Mark Phillips was.
