Welcome to Thread II!

We companionably mused, gossiped and waffled about Royalty, and vaguely related things for 1000 posts!

Starting with names; and ending on them them…
and in between covered everything from Adam Faith to Scottish Country Dancing!

So, as before, God Bless this Ship and All who Sail in her! ??

Grany what’s the latest with the billboards?

A draft law in the Scottish Parliament was amended to exempt the Queen's land from measures to encourage green energy after her lawyers raised "concerns".

Lets put to bed the absolute hypocrisy that the royal family - mascots of the Private Jet class - give a toss about the Environment.

Landrover driving, helicopter flying, grouse moor burning hypocrites.

#TheQueensGreenPlanet my arse.

It’s Charles and Diana’s 40th Wedding Anniversary today

Princess Anne also wore it on her wedding day Fanny.

Callistemon Mon 26-Jul-21 15:55:06

I'm wearing mine.
I always wear one of them when I read a Royal thread.

More tiaras! There can never be enough.

Henry is a superb name for a dog.
I find names ending in ‘ee’ the best for pets.

Calendargirl I didn’t know that. That is special.
Although you’re treading on very thin ice bringing tiaras into the conversation!

I thought Camilla looked very elegant on her wedding day.

Calendargirl Mon 26-Jul-21 13:27:05

And as well as the dress, The Queen also loaned Beatrice the tiara that she had worn on her own wedding day.

Think that must trump all the other loaned tiaras.

Ellianne Mon 26-Jul-21 13:11:56

Thanks Fanny, pm sent to you.

Please don't anyone laugh. His name is Henry (Harry!) grin grin grin I'm not sure how that happened actually.

I hope he doesn't end up biting the hand that feeds him!!

Congratulations on your new woofer!
I bet that you are chuffed to bits.
I sent you a pm asking his (are they a he?) name.

Can you give us a clue?

(You know how controversial names are on here!)

Ellianne Mon 26-Jul-21 12:14:14

grin

Ellianne Mon 26-Jul-21 12:13:28

.... without looking is what I should have said.

FannyCornforth Mon 26-Jul-21 12:13:00

I just came on to say that 34 is my favourite!
Princess Mabel in Victor & Rolf.
It’s got a real 60s vibe

Ellianne Mon 26-Jul-21 12:12:49

Yes 34 looks like cushion covers, but strangely I knew exactly which one you meant. So memorable in its own way!

Lucca Mon 26-Jul-21 12:10:06

34 is weird, looks like upholstery.

Imagine having these names
Prince Jean-Christophe Napoleon Bonaparte and Countess Olympia von und zu Arco-Zinneberg. ????

I particularly love the von und zu

An Australian edition - you'd know that lovely Crown Princess Mary would be No 1!

Has anyone mentioned Sarah Ferguson's dress; she looked lovely and the dress was beautiful.
Diana's dress was a huge disappointment, such a shame as she appeared in two beautiful dresses shortly afterwards; one at the State opening of Parliament (I think) and one by Belville Sassoon.

Callistemon Mon 26-Jul-21 11:32:24

Am I right?

Probably I've seen it at some point, in fact I know I have, although I wasn't there a the time!

FannyCornforth Mon 26-Jul-21 11:31:16

Yes! ?

Lucca Mon 26-Jul-21 11:30:34

Oh good thinking Callistemon
