A nice video of Amelia and Eliza put out by the Victorian Racing Association …

https://www.vrc.com.au/latest-news/...goes-global-to-find-the-world-s-most-stylish/

The twins are involved in this year’s Melbourne Cup Carnival, as is Crown Princess Mary’s nephew by marriage, Nikolai.

(They may be involved on different days and so may not meet up. Many well-known faces will be popping up during race-week. Amelia and Eliza are due to attend on Oaks Day and Cup Day, Nikolai is scheduled for Derby Day.)

Amelia and Eliza will be involved with the judging of the Fashions in the Field, which is going global this year.

And it is being reported that their uncle by marriage, King Charles, has one of his horses … “Desert Hero” … entered in the actual Melbourne Cup race.

Althorp, the actual main house, is available to rent. Details in the link below.

I guess times are changing with movie stars renting at St James Palace, cottages available for the general public to stay in on the Balmoral and Sandringham Estates etc.

(There was a recent write-up and photos from someone who stayed in one of the Sandringham houses.)

But, this is the actual Althorp House itself that you, I, or anyone with the desire and enough money, can stay in.

The island where Diana is buried is out of bounds though.

There are some beautiful photos in the listing’s gallery.

It sleeps fifty-four, so if you have forty-four friends and family to join in, what an experience for Diana fans.

Must be close, more hand-holding. Perhaps it’s a bit overwhelming.

And the Fashions on the Field competition, that the girls are on the judging panel for, has started. Here’s some video of what they have to choose from -

It’s going to be hot in Melbourne today, around 30 degrees, and less breeze than Saturday’s Derby Day, but the horses will be under fans to keep them comfortable while they await their turn on the track.

A nice photo of the twins, though small, in this article. And fears that a thunderstorm may arrive before the day is over, quite a few reports of this coming out.

And an interview with the girls, with the hand-holding being noted, their glances towards each other, their identical hand gestures, and them saying they often finish one another’s sentences.

What lovely news for the family!
I wonder if they used a surrogate, none of her social media photos from the last year showed any sign of an impending baby!

It is unfortunate that Charles Spencer had to have such an experience at a private school. Is there any indication that either of his parents were aware of the situation?

He was very brave to share this information and speak openly about it.

Here is the video of the interview:

Good Morning Britain also interviewed him about this book which details his in multiple ways abusive school environment. The interviewers were clearly well-prepared and the Earl is very articulate in his answers.

 

[Snowangel]

I just finish reading his book, and it's the first time I was crying while reading. It's disturbing what these boys have to go through.
