I love the Queens dress. Its so great on her. I think the countess looks wonderfull too. I dont know about everyone else but I simply detest the Windsor uniform or whatever its called the windsor men wear. They just look so bad.

Although Edward's outfit looks somewhat peculiar, I respect that he shows no outward sign of feeling foolish.

Queen Elizabeth II should be addressed as Her Majesty (HM) and not Her Royal Highness (HRH).

Queen Elizabeth II should be addressed as Her Majesty (HM) and not Her Royal Highness (HRH).

that correct! she will still as HM but mostly people still called her as madam or Her Majesty whatever dues her respect not called her real names but she still address as Her Majesty since she become Queen in 1953.

Queen quotes Groucho at 80th birthday lunch

...
Reflecting on the realities of getting older, she told the 350 guests at London's Mansion House: "As Groucho Marx once said 'Anyone can get old -- all you have to do is live long enough."'

The Queen looks lovely,I really like her outfit.The rest of The Royal ladies look really nice especially Sophie.
I thought Prince William looked a bit sad today----just my impression!

 

[Bella]

Thanks Purple for the additional pics. The younger generation is growing up fast! Lady Gabriella is gorgeous as always. Pss. Beatrice looks really pretty too (was Eugenie there?). Of course Wm and Harry are adorable (Wm gets more handsome with every picture, I think). Can anyone tell me if those were the Gloucester girls coming down the stairs? And was that Zenouska Moffat and her brother (both in black) lightly holding hands? I'm sorry but I must add that among all the outstanding looking royals there, Lady Sarah Chatto's unattractiveness was clearly noticeable. Poor thing.

 

[Lady Marmalade]

WOW!!

That is the largest gathering of royals in a long time! Lord Nicholas and the Earl of St. Andrews, Davina, Rose, and the Earl of Ulster and his wife..

Princess Anne, please buy a new dress and hat.

Lady Gabriella's hat looks VERY similar to the one Sophie wore to Ascot last year.

People were calling it the satellite dish look.

There are fewer royals at this event than the Golden Jubilee. Angus Ogilvy has died; Princess Eugenie and Princess Anne's children don't appear to have attended.

 

[Oppie]

The Service of Thanksgiving will begin at 11.15am. The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh will attend, accompanied by 42 members of the Royal Family http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page4860.asp


So far I have counted

The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Prince William, Prince Henry, The Duke of York, Princess Beatrice, Earl and Countess of Wessex, Princess Royal and Commodore Laurence= 11

Viscount and Viscountess Linely and Lady Sarah and Daniel Chatto =4

The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Earl and Countess of Ulster Lady Davina and Gary Lewis Lady Rose Windsor= 7

The Duke of Kent, Earl and Countess of St. Andrews, Lady Helen and Timothy Taylor (?) Lord Nicholas Windsor = 6

Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Lord Frederick, Lady Gabriella = 4


Princess Alexandra, James and Julia Ogilvy, Marina Ogilvy= 5

Total 37 (although this was probably printed before it was known that Camilla would unable to attend, they might also be assuming that the other three grandchildern would be there) so I am still short two people

 

[Lady Marmalade]

I love the outfits Lady Rose and Lady Davina have on...a little retro look going.

Also, is it me or does the Countess of Ulster appear to have a growing bump in her stomach?

Has anyone heard of a possible pregnancy, or is it just the fit of the coat itself?

 

[kelly9480]

According to Marlene on another board, Lady Saltoun might be counted as a member of the RF, but that would only be 38. Maybe some of the Fifes? I don't think Countess Mountbatten is included in the RF by BP, but I don't know that she attended at all.

 

[Oppie]

Well I am sure that Camilla was suppose to be in that 42. My guess it would be two of the Duke of Kent or Princess Alexandra's grandchildern I didn't count any of them. I also am not sure if Lady Helen was there.
