Very quick with the info, cepe, thanks!

Kate gets criticism for dressing older than her age, but I'd rather that than to see her turning up looking like Lady Kitty Spencer.

I think the Spencer girls always look nice. They are young and beautiful and have great bodies. They are not married to a future king so why should they dress like matrons? To me they look like ordinary early 20 something ladies.

Thanks Cepe!

Kitty Spencer looks young and fresh in this picture. Is that very young looking woman really the new Countess Spencer? I hadn't realized she was that much younger than Earl Spencer.

 

[Baroness of Books]

Yes, Karen Gordon is the Earl's latest wife. And I wonder what tiara the bride is wearing; it's certainly not the famous Spencer tiara that we've seen Diana wear over the years.

[crm2317]

It's so nice to see William and Harry spending time with their mother's family. I didn't realise that Earl Spencer and his new wife were expecting a baby.

 

[LadyCatharine]

She's young and fertile!

 

[ladongas]

She's young and fertile!

She's 40 and fertile!

 

[LadyCatharine]

Good for them!

 

[Lumutqueen]

She's 40 and fertile!

I do assume we're talking about Earl Spencer's wife and not Catherine. There's nothing wrong with her being pregnant, the situation was never announced so posters are surprised. The couple only got married less than a year ago.

This was announced in early February, and was noted in Earl Spencer's thread at that time. Certainly no one thinks there is anything wrong with her being pregnant.

Baroness, I read somewhere that the tiara is from the McQuordale family.

Maybe the bride didn't want to wear such a famous tiara as the Spencer, or perhaps her uncle didn't offer?

Cute tidbit

Kelly Mathews ‏@allthingsregal 2summers ago William bought #Kate a polo shirt from the shop @ The Queen's Club b/c she would be amused by club’s logo QC (Queen Catherine)

I think that only the spencer can marriage with the spencer tiara. like sarah, victoria, jane and diana. may be the future 10 earl spencer loise wife married him with that tiara.

Thanks for that tidbit of information, Mirabel. If Earl Spencer did offer it to her to wear, I wouldn't blame her if she opted for the one she did. I think sighting of that famous tiara would have likely overwhelmed the event; then the media would most likely have been screaming headlines about William's reaction upon seeing the Spencer tiara.

 

[Frelinghighness]

The son is from his second marriage?

So nice to see such a happy and pretty bride and wonderful she's recovered from cancer.
No sister Jane?(aunt Jane)

Let's stay on topic with the Current Events of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as the Earl Spencer has his own thread, which can be found here http://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...museum-and-travelling-exhibition-2919-41.html .

Thank you !

[Royal Newbie]

I am posting this here as both will be at this event. Please feel free to move it if necessary!

@RE_DailyMail: Prince William, Earl of Strathearn, to be made a Knight of the Thistle by the Queen on July 5 at St Giles’ Cathedral, Edinburgh.

@RE_DailyMail: Kate as Countess of Strathearn will be there. The Order of the Thistle is Scotland's oldest order of chivalry

 

[IloveCP]

What a great honor for William! I think I read that it will be private. Too bad, it would have been great to see how proud they will be!

There will be pictures from the Thistle ceremony in general, but not from the actual installation ceremony, which is private.

The Queen installs the newly appointed members in a private ceremony at the beginning of the Service of the Thistle. When the Queen and Prince Philip arrive, the Chancellor of the Thistle, the Dean of the Thistle and the Secretary of the Thistle lead them to the Signet Library, where Knights and Ladies of the Order have already gathered. Her Majesty then installs new Knights and/or Ladies, and then the procession consisting of the entire party proceeds to Chapel of the Order of the Thistle of St. Giles' Cathedral, where other parts of the Service take place.
