Another Coronation One: Fergie isn’t invited 😟

Bluebell and Beth (they are Camilla’s really. I’m not sure if Charles is a very doggy person )

I think he is, he used to have a Labrador called Harvey?

Probably keener on bigger dogs.

Am not interested who is invited or not.
Until Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother came into the family they were all foreigners anyway.

Let Fergie go to the wedding.
The King has been forgiven as has The Queen, show love and let Fergie attend.
Fergie only speaks positively about the Family.

Are you wearing the tiara on top of the hat?
That would look nice

Of course!!

This hat has seen a lot of action, I can tell you, it will take a Coronation in its stride.

😁

Fergie only speaks positively about the Family.

Yes
And, just for saying that, you are indeed a lovely lady

Wow! A hat that has seen a lot of action! 🤔

Yes, but the thought crossed my mind that the powers that be thought, by not inviting Sarah, Andrew might refuse to go
🤞

Is there a wedding?

I think it is mean spirited. She did make mistakes in earlier life, but she is very loyal to Andrew and I read in the DT that relations were thawing between Charles and Andrew. The Queen liked her even if Philip did not and she does look after the Queen’s dogs. I am a bit surprised to tell the truth.

They can't invite Fergie when most of the hereditary peers are being excluded because it's a scaled down Coronation.
What a nightmare, it was bad enough organising the guest list for my own daughter's wedding

I can remember the toe sucking incident, it was all over the papers. A huge humiliation for Andrew and hardly the best way to impress your in laws. In addition, Fergie was prepared to sell access to Andrew for a considerable sum of money because she was skint. This 'sting' was shown on TV quite recently. Don't we all want loyalty in our families? I know I do.

I doubt divorced spouses are usually invited to royal events.

I remember the British Royal Family being asked not to send a divorced person to one of the Spanish Royal weddings, and I think the same applied to Pope John Paul II's funeral as well.

It certainly makes you wonder about how much real loyalty there is in that family.
It all seems to be a ‘Succession’, a bit dog eat dog, and quite fragile and precarious to me.
How the public will respond to the build up and the Coronation itself will be really revealing regarding the future of the monarchy.
The Queen’s death has marked a monumental shift in public opinion imo

Poor Fergie. She’s been trying so HARD recently. Maybe too hard.

Harry did insist that Auntie Fergie came to his wedding which is a point in his favour. They had to sit separately though.
I thought that when Prince Philip died they would remarry, but apparently not.
Her behaviour was no worse than that of Charles.

Or Diana, orPrincessMargaret if you think about it.

Charles has long had Jack Russells.

I wondered if there were any hereditary duchesses so I looked it up. There are only 8 women hereditary titles. Although Scotland is better at letting women inherit.

Still it shows how powerful the patriarchy still is. I wonder if spouses of male peers are invited? It's going to be a very male orientated event isn't it?

This thread is so confusing. Are the jack russels getting married or the corgis? (I had no idea Fergie had the corgis, have the daily mail run a story in the style of a cruella de vile character?)

Perhaps there will be a separate invitation to an evening "do" for all the lesser and out of favour royals. That would be some party. I'd go to that - toe-sucking optional.

Ooh yes, of course!

‘The Evening Do’
The cold buffet, bar and disco! 🤩

Where everyone who were there for the real deal have either gone home or are pissed out of their minds

I must admit I feel rather sorry for Fergie. The Queen got on with her rather well I believe.

It can't have been easy being married to Andrew; she must love him because although they are divorced they live together.

I think Andrew is rather good at humiliating himself.

Would you invite your brothers Ex to a celebration?
How friendly has she been with Charles in the years since her divorce? Doesn't matter that her daughter's are going, or how much contact she had with the late Queen. It is Charles's day and hopefully he is overseeing the invite list.

She’s only Duchess because she married a Duke so that doesn’t really mean an awful lot shrug 🤷🏼‍♀️

didn't Charles tick fergie off .... when she was fooling about on the ski slopes with Diana ... perhaps he does not like her
