I LOVE THE SWEDISH ROYALS. They’re just the best. Princess Estelle is the cutest, and so are her parents, and all around I just love that family so much.

That London “home” is Kensington Palace, which they share with Prince Harry, the Gloucesters, and all the Kents. They don’t have the whole thing, they took over Princess Margaret’s old apartment. And a huge part of it is public space for state events and tours and whatnot.
To me he looks like he’s eyeing what George is about to do, which I think was to snatch that toy train (and bang it on Charlotte’s head?). The photographer must have had someone making funny faces or something behind him to distract him at that second so he could get the pic.
yeah, it seemed creepy but for me it always seemed that he didn’t cross any legal lines due to her family being so huge and involved in her career it wasn’t possible? I base this on nothing but my own opinion so who knows what really happened, but well, they seemed happy and she never said she felt exploited? Who…
Ahh, excellent. OK, so my memory was kind of off on the details, but yeah... amazeballs.
OMG I remember this. This was their vow renewal or something! I remember Entertainment Tonight covering this in breathless detail. She was brought in to the room carried on a platform held up by shirtless “slave boys” or something. There were tigers there, maybe? It was some sort of weird mishmash of tacky/racist…
Pretty sure they get incinerated just like with all other medical waste.
Totally agree. The entire divorce ordeal and associated scandals I think woke him up to the reality that the “old ways” of doing things in that family just weren’t working anymore. And being able to openly be with Camilla gave him peace and he’s in a good place, he’s mellower but more confident as he’s getting closer…
Which is why even someone as delicious as Prince Harry can’t find someone who is willing to put up with the scrutiny. I think you have to be a really confident person and super disciplined about never reading a newspaper or going on the internet ever again. Is the scrutiny worth all the jewels and the palaces and a…
The theory is that this is a “soft opening” for her to wear this big important piece, in the safety of an event where photographs are banned. The King & Queen of Spain are coming to the UK for an official visit in the spring, which means there will be a state dinner (which requires tiaras & family orders—another thing…
Yeah, don’t even go looking, it’s awful. For every “fandom” there’s always a subset of really awful toxic people and I regret ever finding out about them.
Me too! I wish I’d lived through those days when we had more excuses to dress up fancy. If it’s a party, give me that tiara and elbow-length gloves.
In the deep recesses of some internet royal watcher circles there are many, many people who enjoy kicking Kate around as much as possible. And who intensely dislike William. Last night’s events brought up a lot of snark from haters saying that Will & Kate keep trying to copy Diana and coat-tail on the love she used to…
Agreed. He should have stood up to his mother and married Camilla in the beginning. But he was too scared and Camilla got tired of waiting and married someone else. I think he grew to love Diana somewhat, and certainly he loves his children, and I’m happy he’s happy now, but the marriage was a disaster from the…
They’re still junior royals, remember. They’re third in line, there’s a whole layer of older senior royals above them. They don’t get to go to the fun stuff until they move up. They just get the most media attention.
I would too! Except in modern times there are very few events were a tiara is appropriate anymore. Mostly super formal occasions, white-tie and state dinners, or royal weddings. Even relatively recently, Diana was wearing them to premieres and stuff like that, but no more.
There aren’t any. Cameras are always banned at this event. The car picture is all we’ll ever get to see. Until she wears it again, that is. Which I suspect will be in the spring when the Spanish royals are expected for a state visit to the UK.
Actually, yes, it’s interesting if you are a royal watcher. It’s a historic and beautiful piece of jewelry that was not just Diana’s, it goes back 150 years, and hasn’t been seen in over 25 years. There’s a huge association with Diana and most everyone was not expecting Kate to wear it for many years, even decades.…
OMG I have a friend like this too. Morning selfie, pic of baby, selfie in car at lunch, baby napping, inspirational quote with caption about how much the baby has changed her life, pic of living room decorated for Christmas, baby sleeping, goodnight inspirational quote. The next day, she’ll vary it up with the baby…
