[Reality]

I really wonder how is active this great Queen .
I think she really deserve this appreciation and loyalty that she has.
That is definitly the perfect example of self and duty respect.

A dollar a day keeps the Queen


QUEEN Elizabeth cost each UK taxpayer 62 pence ($1.55) a year, with the overall cost of running the royal family increasing above the rate of inflation, Buckingham Palace said today.

Two more articles which apart from anything else show slightly different attitudes.

I put it in here, since it concerned several members of the Royal Family. And, I am not sure about the credibility of this article.​

​

This was in the newspaper on Sunday but i don't remember it being in any of the others and there have been no "follow-up" articles to my knowledge. You would think it a credible story given how high profile the people involved are and that the article has quotes from the police in it but it doesn't have any comments from Buckingham Palace or Clarence House in it to give it any more credibility.

From HELLO
The Queen has always worked hard to recognise the efforts of those people who best embody the spirit of Britishness, but it's not just human beings who deserve the occasional pat on the back, as the monarch discovered when she hosted a garden party in Buckingham Palace this week....................

Another silly hat from Sophie but Her Majesty looks very funky and flowery. A new outfit I believe. And I love that hat.

Isn't that the same weird hat Sophie was wearing at Ascot? It certainly looks like it. I agree with you about HM. She looks very smart.

It is the same hat that Sophie wore to Ascot, actually the entire ensemble is the same (From Getty Images): http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=250414&d=1150829041
^I think the huge flower on the hat distracts the whole outfit

There must be a "Mad Hatter" lose in England and the BRF employs him. Although, I think Camilla's hat looked very nice, much nicer than many of the other oversized monstrosities that plop on her head. Sophie's hat here and at the Trooping of the Color was just awful and the York girls have the most atrocious hats. There respective milliner's should be exiled. On the other hand there are mirrors available.

 

[Skydragon]

Sophie's hat would be nice WITHOUT the blooming great flower.

 

[Zonk]

It is a rather large flower

I actually think this is a mix match suit...or maybe I am hoping its so. Like the top is from a two piece suit and she decided to wear a summery skirt instead of the suit skirt? Whats the weather like in London?

HM looks great as usual..and the Duke looks smashing! Shouldn't they be leaving for Balmoral soon?

I don't think Zara's boyfriend is very good looking (she could do better). Peter Phillips on the other hand... yum.

 

[sophie25]

It says in the court circular that other royals were at the garden party on 11/7/06 including the Gloucesters and Michaels of Kent. Any pictures of them?

 

[Incas]

I don't think Zara's boyfriend is very good looking (she could do better). .

He looks a bit like Wayne Rooney from that angle.

 

[puresnow]

Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures!

William, Harry, Zara and Chealsy were all present at the Jockey and Eventors Charity Match during the annual Rundle Cup Day at Tidworth Polo Club on July 15, 2006 in Tidworth, Wiltshire, England.
William, Harry and Zara were playing.
I put the pics here, since 3 members of the RF were present.

ROYAL STRIFE BOAT

Trouble ahoy as the warring Windsors set sail

IT'S the perfect recipe for a holiday from hell. Stick Britain's most dysfunctional family on an old ferry, throw in seasickness and some age-old spats, and they're bound to have a bumpy ride.
