Brit here. I understood there were quarrels about money when Diana first married Charles as she was spending 200,000 quid a month on clothes. And this was early 80s so the equivalent of about one million now. Quarrels followed by “rules” and guidelines on spending

Google Ladies. Nottingham Cottage is where they will live.

Despite the lovely stories about Meghan's dog, Guy - he will not be living at Buckingham Palace.

I do love that he got to ride with HRH to the wedding!!!

Nailed it. I bet that Queen takes good care of them, much as she might be a PITA, at least it is worth it.

This is one of the rooms inside Kate and William's part of the Palace.

Basically, watch Downton Abbey. It's just an updated version of that.

Yep.

She also was the only royal not to get invited to the wedding because of it. Bet she was fuming but dynamics within the palace will certainly be interesting.

Come on now. She was there.


I think I missed her! Interesting that she still got an invite. Maybe she slipped in when Zara Tindall did, I feel like the royals all went by so fast while George Clooney and Victoria Beckham had 20-minute strolls.

What!? She wasn't invited to the wedding? And she lives in Kensington? Seriously? I mean it's awesome, but really?


She had two incidents and I guess that was enough. She wore that crass brooch and then it came out that she had two pet sheep she named Serena and Venus. That's on top of whatever private interactions have happened between the three of them.

The funny thing is Princess Michael is as common as they come with a hairdresser for a mother and she already has many strikes against her - one being her father was a Nazi officer in World War II.

No and it probably won't. Diana's decor & candid photos of her inside Kensington Palace weren't public until years after her death and Charles + Camilla have done landscaping press tours of their country estate but not Clarence House.

The most we'll see is glimpses when visiting officials have photos taken - like Obama with Prince George in the nursery.
