If you search the National Archives online catalog, you can find floor plans of Frogmore Cottage from when Archduchess Xenia lived there. The plans aren't available online but you can send away for them if you want. However, the cottage won't much resemble that anymore, because it was greatly...

Was that trip in January 2017, or the July/August 2017 trip to Botswana and Zambia for her birthday, where he must have given her the diptych, Everybody Needs Somebody To Love?

I thought I heard they were going to have an apartment somewhere else in London than NottCott. I assumed that cottage was going to be used by staffers dislocated in the shuffle until other royals move in. In that case I just can't picture Harry telling them to bugger off for a few days. He'd...

In several articles on Wikipedia there's a long explanation of the development of who can be called HRH Prince or Princess. To cut it short, Queen Victoria declared that the children and male-line grandchildren of the Sovereign would be called HRH Prince or Princess followed by their first name...

Frogmore cottage could have been unready because paints and finishes can take over a month to cure and quit outgassing, and if you're sensitive you can react to what others can't smell. Carpets and underpadding can also outgas for over a month. Sensitive people will also react to that. I know...

I disagree. I've enjoyed and learned from your previous posts, Countessmeout, and I look forward to doing the same from your future posts.

I'm not sure I want to support false stories about the Sussexes so I probably won't read Emily's articles, but could the truth of the matter be that they stayed in the hotel because they'd moved their stuff out of NottCott, only to find that Frogmore Cottage wasn't quite ready yet (appliances...

Your suggestions are perfect! The people instigating the baby shower listed the six charities at the top of my post to donate to, but they encouraged people to donate to whatever charities they choose. I did see what I thought was a possible scammer soliciting donations and notified the...

Wow. I am so excited. This is just the donations for CamFed in the last 4 days: And I'm liking People Magazine now. Harper's. Another magazine I'll read, too. Woman&Home StandardUK Daily Mail Town & Country Good Morning America and again GMA ITV and again ITV MirrorUK Refinery29 Marie...

The lads at the Tower actually went to the trouble of recording a video to tweet out. It's funny enough to deserve a look at: I got a belly laugh imagining the filming and editing of the video. I'll bet the crew are a lot of fun to be around. Chris Skaife certainly is a good actor; very funny!

Did the Pope have an injury on his right hand that he was protecting here?

This is one of the few Daily Mail articles I will read: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6869811/Viral-Twitter-campaign-encourages-Meghans-fans-celebrate-baby-Sussex-support-charities.html

#GlobalSussexBabyShower I hope nobody minds. I'm liking the idea of the Global Sussex Baby Shower and all it stands for so much that I'm going to post what I find about it here. If you think I'm overdoing it, just let me know. I don't intend to offend people. It's just very hard to resist...

This is where I first heard of the Sussex Global Baby Shower and I'm gonna say the names of the women who seem to have started this on their own: Mel@serial-eyes, Ocean's Millions@brenbrunchie and Mimi@SchuylerSistas I hope they get positive media attention for this. Kudos to you, ladies!

Isn't that exciting? I saw that begin on Twitter and I hope more media outlets cover that version of the Meghan Effect. Honestly, I'm getting so disgusted with the Mail, Express, Sun, etc., that I hardly read them anymore. I hope someone, somewhere, is keeping track of the total donations...

It might be important to remember that Meghan's told us she has a short torso. That means less room for Baby Sussex, less room for food for mama, less breathing space, and frequent trips to the porcelain facilities. It could very well be that Baby mistimes the Mommy and Me yoga sessions...

Thank you for the effort you put into such a thorough response, MaiaMia. I've never been a celebrity-watcher so I wasn't familiar with Meghan's life in Canada. As I continue reading about the Commonwealth, I will also read all of these things, too, to get a picture of what she was like before...

This woman has children; how does it feel to have your mum achieve that particular distinction? What is she thinking? The more I learn about Mr. Markle and His Other Daughter (Samantha), the more I agree with the course of action Meghan's taken and the less I want them soiling the inside of my...

I don't see how Samantha influenced him to sell Harry's political opinions to the press. And I don't believe that no one -- not Harry, Meghan or Doria -- warned him about this. The man isn't ignorant. He worked near celebrities for many years. He had a successful career. He was on the inside...

Mr. Markle sort of forced her to be formidable when he blabbed to the tabloids about some political opinions of Harry's. He's proved repeatedly that he'll sell out his own child for tabloid money.

You know, amidst all the discussion of the duties Meghan's been given and what she's worn and all the speculation on every topic under the sun, I find that what I really would like to know is what she reads. I understand why the Queen keeps her politics to herself and I agree with that. I...

I'm wondering how comfortable Meghan would be with a nanny. No one in her family ever had one. As far as getting a US nanny, I don't think the tradition in the US is as strong as in the UK. I don't know of a US equivalent of Norland, so you'd always wonder how discrete the US nanny would be. I'm...

I remember last fall some tabloid was saying Meghan was going to give birth under water (presumably because that's what everyone in California does). Then there was that story about her hiring a doula. I'm expecting to be told next that Meghan's having herself helicoptered to the remote Zen...

Has anyone noticed the tiny cues in Harry's body language that show how much more attentive he's become of Meghan since they surfaced as a pair at Invictus 2016? There, he seemed rather awkward, neglecting to introduce her to people present and so forth. But today, he moved with military...

To my eye, the dress she wore to Charles' 50th investiture celebration last week looked like an unaltered vintage piece, so it was probably pretty reasonably priced. None of the women in the family that day looked expensively dressed and I inferred from the photos that Meghan chose a piece that...
