Royal Thread the Second- Tiaras Optional! ?

Lucca re days of the week names -there’s an actress called January Jones

She was in ‘Mad men’ wasn’t she? She is a good actress. I loved that series, very good. Tuesday Weld was another with an unusual name.

Hello all, I’m glad we’re having a new thread, the first one was a lot of fun. I’ve always wanted to wear a tiara.

Glad there is a second thread.

I have a tiara, !

I’m jealous Anniebach!

I have a tiara too!
I bet yours is a ‘proper’ one Annie, unlike mine (from Stourbridge market circa 1989)
On a completely unrelated note - I have a swanky new phone, due to my old android completely conking out, and I’m really struggling to get to grips with it.
So if I go off the radar, that’s the reason

Oh, just a minute, my tiara got packed away at the start of lockdown as I had no official functions to attend.

Must get the butler to go into the attics to search for it.

Am I the only one without a tiara? I must Google tiara shops immediately!

I just found one DGD had hidden in the toy box, some of the diamonds are missing but never mind!

When I was young I was told I looked like Princess Alexandra but, alas, no longer, as she looked very elegant the other day and I am not at all elegant.

I do remember Tuesday Weld.
April (or Avril) is another popular name

I am named after an aunt who was named after a royal princess. That’s probably the closest I’ll ever get to Royalty ?

I designed mine, it hasn’t any jewels in though , it’s really a crown but I didn’t want to show off.

My younger daughter was town carnival Queen , a local
craftsman made it , 32 years ago

Claire's Accessories do a range, so a member of the RF told me

Other retail outlets are available.

Callistemon!
I didn’t know the meaning of your name until yesterday (doing a lot of online plant stuff)
So I’ve learnt that you are a bottle brush plant!

We are self isolating and I caught my husband smuggling in a box of plants he'd had delivered, like a naughty child.

I don't have a tiara either <sob>

I am indeed, FannyCornforth

I imagine you with beautiful flowing auburn locks so now you can imagine me with a short mop of hair just like a bottlebrush! It's not pink though and it grew in lockdown into Bob until scissor happy hairdresser got her mitts on it.

Meg and Harry have appealed for acts of compassion ,it can unleash incredible change across the world !

What would you class as an act of compassion, as opposed to an act of kindness?

I think it means helping a person (pr persons) who is suffering and alleviating their troubles, whereas kindness is something you do to help others who are not necessarily suffering. I’m probably explaining it badly, but hope you can see what I mean.

I wonder when they will show some!

Funny that, I was thinking the same as you Sparklefizz.

They didn’t show much compassion towards the DofE at the end of his life.

I don't want to get close to Royalty the farther away they are the better.
Abolished even better

Agree Grany. My mum didn't agree. I'm named after a member of the RF.?

Did a photo accompany the statement?
Just thinking the hand on heart one looking towards heaven would have been good.

I see this morning that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been awarded a prize of £500 for “making the enlightened decision” to limit their family to two children. The prize money is to go to a charity but it did not specify if the money is to be donated to Archewell or a charity nominated by them
