I feel so angry with Meghan & Harry

Grrr. Where did pastel come from? Think I have been hexed.

We could have a special Royal Grans meet up at The Savoy when lockdown ends.

Does one have to be sharp, needling and digging to join the splinter group?
I'm rather going for the royal clan too but I want the duck egg blue sparkly tiara and what I want, I get!

People often identify with celebrities they never met never will meet. Sometimes there is hero worship sometimes sympathy. Sometimes people seek and believe they find a role model.

For instance someone may feel for Meghan simply because she is black . Someone else may feel for Meghan because she is a commoner, and black , who defied the richest aristocrats in the world. That is quite a story one must admit!

I knew you were the right ilk for us lemongrove - we shall tap into our hidden stash of bloater paste especially. We've been stockpiling since 1934, we'll crack open our finest vintage - the Bollinger of bloater! You'll be able to smell it at a radius of ten miles.

We may have to investigate you for bullying behaviour in that case Elliane and the tiara is MINE!!!

Sorry I cannot knit, crochet or sew however, I make a mean cocktail ?, can I join someone’s gang please

Yes Nell I come from a long Scottish line ‘of that ilk’ and we have a bloater on our coat of arms (rampant) so I shall look forward to your bloater based treat.I carry my own pint glass at all times, and am happy with whatever you have to fill it with, as long as it’s alcohol based.?

There seem to be a contingent of SAPs peeking in.
Serious and Persistent

Ellianne, lemongrove no need to fight, come the Glorious Day all tiaras will be equally shared amongst the peasants populace.

lemongrove ??? you had me at rampant bloaters!

As far as I can see M is giving the Oprah interview because three years ago she was told she could not give an interview to Oprah. And for the benefit of Archbishop of Canterbury who did not recognise Oprah, (can you believe it!) at a reception.

Well done the Palace staff who had to bear the brunt of this couple's ignorant behaviour, for fighting back.

GrannyGravy I assume the royal Grans will welcome anyone who is not only able to produce a good cocktail but can hold their booze too. On a silver salver of course.
Don’t worry about the knitting, there will be staff for that but do treat them with dignity. Not dignitas, unless they are very very old.

Ladies, ladies please let's not fight over the tiara or any other pieces of fabulous, decadent and incredibly expensive jewellery that we know is the hall mark of all royalty.

We can 'borrow' pieces for special occasions from the Royal Gran's extensive collection. I do think though that priority should be given to any RG who is to be interviewed by Oprah.

I'm now wondering if I should return the hair colour I bought yesterday Marydoll and exchange it for a blue rinse.

I really do think we should see if we could book a room at Buck House or possible Windsor for our first meet up lemongrove and if we make Liz an honorary member I'm sure will be able to get into one or the other.

Blimey LauraNorder how do you know I have a silver salver???

I have been known to be very norty , lost my tiara at a posh do many years ago (I think it was in the cloakroom, a bit too much bolly) ???

By the way why all this fuss about H&M - it's a shop, isn't it?
I'm senior enough to remember when it was called Hennes, annodomini

Smileless, I have been interviewed by the local constabulary, does that count?

H&M? Isn’t that some sort of politicians recreation involving an orange and a black bin bag.

I should say so LauraNorder. Did the interview have anything to do with your inside knowledge about the recreational activities of politicians requiring an orange and a black bin bag by any chance?

If so, would you like to furnish us with some details or is it top secret?

Look I'm sorry but I can't buy into this "Royal Grans" I'm afraid I'm going to have to demand that all tiaras/silver salvers etc become public property (we can flog them off later). Any interviews with Oprah will have to be collectively agreed beforehand. All titles, ranks and awards will be withdrawn and we must declare ourselves a GN Cooperative!!! (As I can't remember how long I've been on GN anyway)

Callistemon years ago, I kept reading about a shop called Hennes in all the magazines. It was the place to go, to be on trend. On a trip to London, I persuaded DH to accompany me to it, (with my secret stash of cash) . I was in and out in five minutes with nothing. What a disappointment!!!

I definitely want to join, but I’m not sure if I’m senior or royal enough. I can’t knit either, but I can make a mean Kir Royale if that will do. I’ve got two sons so definitely got a spare, and a daughter too, so two spares these days.

I thought it was Hermes ( with the accent, not the shoddy parcel delivery) and Montblanc.

eazybee who can resist a joke about the Bishop and the actress...

trisher will we get stamps and a divvy?

Maddyone my spare is called Peckin Norder, I also have Standin Norder who works in the post office and Gaggin Norder who isn’t allowed to give interviews
