Thanks for listening

She would have thought it wasn't about Sarah because Sarah was so "common." TOW has a very high opinion of herself. She will never understand it isn't and wasn't all about her.

I thought Di's dress was a monstrosity!

Yeah I didn’t like Diana’s dress either, it was full on meringue

I didn't like Diana's wedding dress. I recall how before the wedding everyone was speculating on what it would like. And when it was finally revealed I thought UGH. She looked like she was drowning in toile, lace and brocade. It looked like a massive Victorian circus tent. Hideous!.

@@alidabotes6264 Yeap it’s hideous. Though I don’t like Fergie one either. I like Catherine’s one

Catherine's wedding gown is my favorite ❤

In my view, Andrew's first and foremost concern is being a Prince, lest anyone forget. All day, every day.

They had also shared a student apartment/flat along with two others while at St. Andrews.

William also often stayed at Catherine's parents' house before their wedding and went on alot of holidays together too!

William and Catherine were married when they went to Anglesey, George a baby before that they lived in Nottingham cottage after their marriage .

@@barbaraallen435 I just checked and, per Wikipedia, they began living in Anglesey in June 2010. I hadn't known they lived there before their marriage. Nott Cott was their London home.

@@barbaraallen435 actually they were already living on Anglesey for a year before they got married, but they moved into a new house there after the wedding.

Is that a true story or something invented by The Crown?

​@@barbraluce5706 they did had night out, but it was with their maternal uncle, cousins and protection officers. They dance with member of Public in front of Buckingham palace for few hours and went back to palace.

They didn’t sneak out. It was all above board with parental consent but they were incognito so she and her sister could mingle with the crowd and enjoy the celebration.

Sophie lived with Edward at BP. Felt it important 4 Sophie 2 be "in it" to find out if she could manage.

‘“ With the blessing of their parents, the young royals were given special permission to join the crowds partying outside the Palace gates. Then, together with a group of 16 members of the royal household, the royals made their way across London. Reflecting on the occasion as part of a Channel 4 documentary in 2015, the Queen’s cousin, The Hon Margaret Rhodes, said: "We crossed the forecourt at Buckingham Palace and got to the railings and there were these masses and masses of people. There was a general thing of, 'We want the King and Queen', which we all frantically joined in with and were amazed when, five or 10 minutes later, the windows opened and they came out onto the balcony. It was like a wonderful escape for the girls. I don't think they’d ever been out among millions of people. It was just freedom - to be an ordinary person." What followed was an evening of fun, laughter, and surprising firsts (including a disguise gaffe) as the group set off on an adventure. As the late Queen told the BBC, "We were terrified of being recognised - so I pulled my uniform cap well down over my eyes. A Grenadier officer among our party of about 16 people said he refused to be seen in the company of another officer improperly dressed. So I had to put my cap on normally."‘

People may care to know that The Scandal Mongers got into the Catherine-bashing over the photo. I unsubscribed because of it.

I do hope you agree…it would be great.

​@@LynxSouththank you.

@Jenniferlane. I agree with you.

@@ptrpan61 ☺️ Thank you.

Thought-provoking comment.

"When the mother is absent there is a serious void." I can relate to that.

Yes, these women all suffered trauma from their parent’s divorces and long absences of their mothers at a critical state of development. With Harry, the trauma of divorce and then unexpected death of his mother at a critical stage of his development has contributed to his issues with women.

She is pretty. Stunning on her book cover.

I really didn't like her. I felt she was false & childish.

I personally think Diana's dress was absolutely hideous! 🤮

Sophie and Edward also lived together at Buckingham Palace before their wedding.

@@isobeloconnell9385 I didn't realize they also lived together. Thank you for letting me know.

T is said that Diana & Charles always lived together, too.

@@lalaholland5929 I understood Charles and Diana were only together 12 times before they married??!! Lived together...never heard that?!

​​@@ajune583 no, Diana and charles went on just 12 dates before he proposed her. After Engagement she moved in Buckingham palace with charles for security reasons. Palace tried to pretend that Diana is living with Charles's Grand mother in Clarence house but later Diana herself reviled that she was living in Buckingham palace and often they had breakfast and dinner together. According to highgrove staff, before even engagement Diana went there many times and spend time privately with the prince in his room for hours and they would always take shower after that.

Glad you like them!

You are correct

@@barbraluce5706 Thank you for confirming.

@Ciao_Bella Born Royals out rank solo married ones.

😂

My shoulder was only slightly brushed by a tentacle when I was a teenager. That whole side of my body was on fire for a couple of days.

I expect it’s based on the truth and exaggerated for effect. I have heard that the stuffed animals belonged to his two girls and he promised to keep them as they’d arranged. Not sure how true that is either! Lol

​@@BuntyMcB The stuffies are his. They've been gifted to him all his life from family & fans.

I shudder! Not normal.

​@@alidabotes6264think about your shoes or anything else you value.

There is no legend to explain who sent those Teddy Bears to Andrew do you. It would blow your mind the Kings, Queens, Sheiks, Presidents and other famous people who gifted these to him and possibly on his birth. It shows me he is sentimental. There is a picture to show the correct order they are to be placed by staff and we do not know but there is a rational for it.

Why would he have bears in the first place. There's some serious arrested development there.

I had to look back, but I agree Fergie‘s dress was gorgeous! I thought Diana’s was OK a little too overdone for my taste. My overall favorite Royal wedding dress was Catherine’s dress.

@@bpapso apparently there was a major panic when they realised the dress and train did not fit the carriage so her and her father had to be shoe horned in and the dress moulded around both of them which she found quite comical and a bit of a break in pre wedding nerves yes Catherine’s was gorgeous . she must be a designers dream to dress . She could wear a black sack and look amazing .

One of my best memories of my late mother. We cuddled under the duvet, with celebration alcohol on hand and shouted insults at the TV over Diana's badly creased dressed. Mum was a trained dressmaker and worked for famous people doing dry cleaning. We was not impressed.

@@Diovanlestat I think the Emmanueles got a bit carried away with the task at hand . She still looked gorgeous though

​@bpapso I also though Anne's was striking - medieval !

That wine is probably what triggered the beginnings of a migraine.

Girl Gang Readers? I think I have to get you on the show!

@@thevintageread , these are the women I breakfast with each Saturday. We have the faces of mature women but the hearts of young girls. All of us have spent considerable time in the UK and enjoy the Royals. You are a treasure to us because you are witty, incisive, and non judgemental.

​@@barbraluce5706 You sound like a fun group.

@@alidabotes6264 , we have fun! And we love to read! Shauna is someone we thoroughly enjoy

My late husband was a redhead. Even his family called him Red. After our wedding, many of his friends told me that they'd never known that his name was actually Jim lol

😂😂😂

I think you’re right!

@anneballantyne3766 Doesn’t seemnlikebuouvwere here for the housekeeper’s diary😆

They are!

"Elton John wasn’t really KNOWN TO BE gay then"

Schoolyard version 😂

Makes sense!

More so that you don’t look like you are cleaning windows-watch how Meghan usually waved.

Picture this. You are given training on how to fold and iron and polish your boots and place your gear and make and keep your bed and gear in order. They give you a couple of pictures or diagrams to go by. When you leave your room for the day a few people go thru each persons room with a ruler and examine how perfectly you followed directions. You come home at the end of the day and everything you own is thrown on the floor and or you bed is stripped and bedding is on the floor. It all has to be laundered and put back by morning perfectly or they will do it again until you learn. You still have homework and work duties that must also be done before lights out. On inspection days you are at attention while they do this and can and will scream in your face with you unblinking or shove a sock in your mouth..if you gag they scream it must be dirty you are accused. If you are perfect you may get a nod of their head or a small grunt as they leave. It is not BIZARRE...it is military training and millions of people have done it...including Andrew. A few bears on his bed is a cakewalk...he gave the staff a photograph as their guide....no excuse. BTW, HMQ Elizabeth looked over the table before a state dinner.

Aah!
