    Zara Phillips Current Events 3: September 2007-June 2008

    And as usual, she looks fantastic. Thanks for the great pics. Working nights next week, so I'm up on the board to stay awake!

    Earl and Countess of Wessex and Family Current Events 2: September 2007-February 2008

    Love and prayers to the Wessexes They took him to the best place possible - although that's a haul from Bagshot Park. Perhaps they were advised to take him there by the paediatrician, or they were already in London. I do hope all is well and that it's not serious. They will be in my prayers...

    The British Nobility thread 1: Ending 2022

    Hmm...the Kennedys (JFK, RFK, Teddy, Joe Kennedy, etc.), the Fords (meaning Henry, who apparently had more than a few OTHERS), FDR (who actually DIED with his mistress present), Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson - while not titled, they're certainly upper class, and it was certainly hush-hush (I...

    Did Edward succeed or fail to live a 'normal' life?

    I think you're quite right. Unfortunately, because he is who he is, this might be all he gets. Even then, in his shoes I'd take that. It must be hard being the little brother of the heir to the throne, "Randy Andy", and the irrepressible Princess Royal - all at once. Also probably true...

    Diana and James Hewitt

    :rofl::lol: love it, love it!! And, regardless, the boy is H-O-T - I think most of us can agree he's a cutie!

    Prince William and Kate Middleton Current Events 3: January-February 2008

    OK, I concede - in that respect, you are correct. But by the same token, if he wasn't Prince William, he wouldn't be doing any of this in the first place. It's not like he said, oh, hey, Granny, I want to go out and play with the REAL soldiers...so by my mind, he is indeed fulfilling his...

    Title for Camilla

    On that, we agree - but what about the religious aspects? And does the Archbishop of Canterbury get any say in it, if her ex WAS still living at the time of coronation? Could she be CALLED Queen without being CROWNED as such - or am I just a dithering idiot who needs major revision on the...

    Diana and James Hewitt

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but if you look at pictures of the Spencer children when they were young - ALL redheads. Look at Lady Sarah still today. (Why are Diana's sisters so frumpy? They're still attractive women, what IS that about?) Diana would have the genes for red hair even if...

    Who Would You Choose - William or Harry?

    Not A Fair Question!!! :0) God, I don't know. Actually, out of all of them, Prince Andrew and Peter Phillips (HOT HOT HOT - if I were about 13 HE'D be the posters in my room, you know?:rolleyes:) would be my first picks, but between William and Harry? I feel sorry for William, given that he...

    Who Would You Choose - William or Harry?

    That is GORGEOUS. :wub::wub: Okay, okay - I'm a fan now!!

    Prince William and Kate Middleton Current Events 3: January-February 2008

    I don't think much of William being called "Top Gun wannabe" either - he's not playing in the military, he's fulfilling duties as the future sovereign. Saying that just makes him sound like a playboy - which out of all of them I think William makes the least likely candidate for the title...

    When did your opinion of Diana change and why?

    I remember reading about what happened when Charles went to Paris to bring her back. I really felt sorry for him. Certain things just don't matter anymore when someone dies - surely he remembered when things were good. And that he was concerned about her appearance - what a "husband" sort of...

    Princess Eugenie of York Current Events 3: March 2007-June 2008

    Really? I think Beatrice looks more like her father - but it could be the Smile that's doing it for me. When she and Andrew smile, to me they look just alike. Whoever said Eugenie is reminiscent of the Edwardians is dead on - very classic looks. She'd look great in Titanic-era dresses dripping...

    A Wife for Prince Andrew, Duke of York

    Psst...listen - I didn't want to say anything but the fact of the matter is, Andrew and I will announce our engagement this summer... HEY - a girl can dream, can't she? <sigh> :wub: I've always thought he was so cute - what a smile that man has...and that Beatrice is practically his Xerox...

    Anne, Princess Royal: Old News and Pictures

    AWESOME. I knew I liked her. A LOT. The older I get, the more I really like the Princess Royal. I'd love to have a pint with her! And yes, WHAT A QUEEN she would have been! Can you imagine a State dinner - and wouldn't you have loved to be a fly on the wall afterward, with Queen Anne...

    Anne, Princess Royal Current Events 4: June 2007-April 2008

    It's so nice to see Anne SMILING. YAY Anne! She's not gorgeous - but I think she's REGAL. I look at her and I can't help but think of the first Elizabeth - Anne would have done justice to the ruffs and heavy tapestried dresses of the 16th century's Tudor women. I've been thinking - she's...

    Diana's Cosmetic Makeup

    Shame, really - she did do the whole formal thing well with the big hats she used to wear. I love hats and am glad the Queen still wears them. But she looked great in the heels as well - of course, a gunnysack would have looked good on her! And I agree with the others about the eyeliner -...

    Title for Camilla

    Would she actually be crowned Queen as long as Andrew Parker-Bowles is still living? Isn't this some sort of CoE nightmare - or quagmire? I don't care what she's called, really (well, I do but I'm not dragging that all out again) - but as long as APB is alive, that seems to cause a problem...

    Of this I have NO doubt....

    Zara Phillips Current Events 3: September 2007-June 2008

    I'm not always a fan of what she wears, but part of what makes her so attractive is that she WEARS it. She likes it, she feels confident in it, and she probably cares less what anyone else thinks. I'm very much a fan of this girl. She is her own person, and that man of hers sounds like he's...

    Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly Engaged: July 30, 2007

    I agree. I wonder if Peter even cares. I don't think I would if I were him - or Zara, for that matter. He works for RBS and she's one h*ll of a horsewoman. They're potentially two of the most down-to-earth members of the bunch. If I had the chance to have dinner at any BRF member's home...

    Did Edward succeed or fail to live a 'normal' life?

    That's a double-edged sword, though...because that tells me Edward's been successful at being Edward and not 7th in line to the throne, and Andrew's just been Andrew as well, instead of number 4. But it IS scary that they didn't realize the Sovereign has four children!

    Did Edward succeed or fail to live a 'normal' life?

    Hope I'm not hijacking! :) I think one can measure success in many ways. No, he's never had one completely successful project, but I'd lay odds that many of us know that guy - you know, the slightly annoying one on the block who's actually a good egg, but can't seem to make anything come out...

    Diana's Cosmetic Makeup

    This is so silly - but I've long wondered about this, and I've finally found a group with whom to discuss such a thought! Did/has anyone else taken notice of Diana's makeup in the last months before her death? She looked more Arab to me - she looked as though she'd darkened her eyebrows and...

    When did your opinion of Diana change and why?

    Oh, yeah... I thought there were lipstick smudges on the glass, but I couldn't quite remember. And as for the ring, isn't there something about the nouveau riche (which I would definitely say the Fayeds are a part of - they can hardly be called 'old money') and taste? Because that thing is...
