    "Spare" memoir by the Duke of Sussex (2023)

    None of us actually knows what is lies because a whole lot of this is Harry’s interpretation of the events and how it made him feel. I don’t think it’s fair to say that he is lying. And I personally believe that the Firm fights very dirty when someone deviates from the pre-ordained roles with...

    Duke and Duchess of Sussex, General News Part 1: May 2018 - December 2018

    I will always respect anyone who is a graduate of Northwestern University. It's a highly selective college and very expensive. Currently ranked #11, it is ranked higher than some of the Ivies. Getting in is nearly impossible. Their acceptance rate is 10%! Graduating is even tougher...

    Wedding of Harry and Meghan: Guest Arrivals & Fashions

    :flowers: If I sounded like I was directing my comments to any one person, please forgive me. I was referring to the stupid press speculation as quoted above. I hope I didn't make anyone feel defensive. Not the intention at all. And Purrs, your tattoo tribute to your son is a wonderful way...

    Wedding of Harry and Meghan: Guest Arrivals & Fashions

    [QUOTE=Purrs;2113491]I agree maybe people will stop going on about how there's something wrong with Meghan and Doria because no family was there. I also would not be surprised if Meghan's niece Ashley was there. There is limited space in the Quire in St. George's chapel and it's entirely...

    Wedding of Harry and Meghan: Guest Arrivals & Fashions

    I'd have to argue that Idris looked spectacular. He classes up everything with his presence. And can he can wear a suit. Perfect tailoring. Bespoke? His fiancee was equally stunning. Was watching CBS and Gayle King was carrying on about Oprah and it got silent except for her. Finally someone...

    Meghan Markle's Wedding Dress

    Sheer perfection! Understated beauty and pure class. The tiara and veil pull it together.. Minimal makeup and the always stellar chignon goes so well with a tiara. Truly blown away. We all gasped when she got out of the car. Radiant. And may I add how the same could be said of Doria, who is...

    Crown Prince Naruhito of Japan's Visit to Denmark: June 15-21, 2017

    Masako's situation makes me so sad. And I'm always skeptical about the explanations: Is it truly medical or was the decision made for her? I just hope this once vibrant woman finds peace, happiness and good health.

    Diana's Eating Disorders and Health Issues

    And that is basically us as human beings. We are made to connect with others, some at a deep, deep level, others more superficial yet critically important. We all need love, trust and companionship. Not having that can be damaging to a person. Diana appeared to have lacked that from a young age.

    Diana's Eating Disorders and Health Issues

    I meant metaphorically alone. Her own family was unable/unwilling to offer emotional support either. It was all a big cluster of circumstances that led to the situation and results. Good thing the RF realized that perhaps it was more important to be happy than marry a virgin from an acceptable...

    HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1900-2002)

    Quite ironic considering Princess Margaret is said to have treated Mary with disdain for not being born into royalty!

    Diana's Eating Disorders and Health Issues

    I second this and appreciate your bringing up that aspect. As someone who started with the eating disorders, body dysmorphia etc at 14, I absolutely agree with you. It really took about 20 years before I was really in 100% remission. Bulimia is about controlling your body and behaviors, taking...

    Wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews: May 20, 2017

    "Bringing up Kim to prop up Pippa is a low blow. " To be clear, I didn't bring up Kim personally in my post. Just provided a comparison of a known family's choice of attire trends to a description of a tv show about bridal dress shopping. Some people may not know the show. Apologies if it was...

    Wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews: May 20, 2017

    Sorry, I don't believe that noticing someone squeezed into clothing 2 sizes too small is body shaming. Nor is it insulting them. If they are wearing something that doesn't fit and they are hanging out because there is only so much fabric on a garment, then that's just a fact. And all body types...

    Wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews: May 20, 2017

    You mean something that a Kardashian would wear? The stuffed sausage look? They show all they've got because it's all they've got to offer. Nothing more. Seeing as this bunch is on the complete opposite spectrum as that ilk, we got to see a stunning gown that fit beautifully (the tailoring...

    I must give credit where credit is due. I did not post the video. Queen Claude brought us the video. And if I'd bold it if I knew how. Thanks Claude. [emoji3]

    Wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews: May 20, 2017

    Well said. I said upthread the same thing: this is Pippa's day- a lovely family wedding. Pretty sure all involved, starting with Meghan and Harry, knew and agreed that this was the right choice to focus on the couple and their families during the ceremony. All involved here have acted with the...

    Wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews: May 20, 2017

    I think it's simply letting the ceremony be about Pippa. All eyes would certainly be on Meghan and Harry. I can some of the stupider "press" writing nasty headlines about that.

    Wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews: May 20, 2017

    Actually I think it's a good idea simply because the press is in a frenzy over Meghan. It would be easy to unintentionally upstage the bride. I imagine that Meghan, who seems like a lovely person, would agree with the etiquette. Besides, this is her big debut in such a formal event! She can...

    Meghan will attend the party after the wedding, along with others who weren't invited to the ceremony. Can't wait to see what she wears
