I think I spotted Harry’s cousins George and Celia too.

What a lovely summer day. Bride's dress is a great example of not my taste but really cute on her. And I love the wildflower bouquet and boutonnières.
That is nothing quite so fun as a summer wedding. And since we see the BRF so rarely in the summer, it is welcome.

Happy Birthday, Meghan!

But one can see your bra in some pictures...

- the Queen will not be amused! More self awareness!

I just looked it up - the Braemar Gathering is September 1. We can look forward to seeing some of the family then. Annual photos of QEII and the POW cracking up over the (I think) sack races, is something I always look forward to! Plus, kilts, heather, caber toss, a pipe band from Canada, this year!

That's not her bra.
The dress comes with a black, full length camisole that can be seen in some picture:-> different saturation

And it was not visible in any other shot so the picture was probably just taken at a weird angle.

Yes, here is an ad for the dress, mentioning a polyester lining.

:previous: Thanks eya.
It's nice to see the BRF together at Balmoral. It seems that the Wessexes are back in Scotland now after Sophie and Louise's appearances the other week.

According to the Daily Mail article, the Duke of Edinburgh hasn't made the trip to Balmoral this year (as yet, I suppose).
Is this concerning? Or should we not worry as HM and the rest of the family seem to be going ahead with the Balmoral holiday as normal?

I've always had the impression that Philip spent time away from Balmoral during the summer break. Its specifically has been noted when Sarah, Duchess of York came to stay at Balmoral for a visit but always had to leave before Philip arrived.

The Queen and Philip have a very comfortable marriage with each other that they don't need to be in each other's back pockets all the time. Perhaps Philip has projects going at Sandringham he wants to finish up before heading to Scotland? He's retired and his time is his own and what he does is no longer anyone's business but his own.

I don't see this as any cause for alarm. He's just doing what he wants to do, when he wants to do it. At 97 years old, he's entitled to that. :biggrin:

I wouldn't worry. Andrew is there with Beatrice so it is possible Sarah is also there. If she is then Philip won't be there until she has gone. If she hasn't gone up yet then Philip won't go until after her visit so that he doesn't have to go up twice. He simply won't be there while she is - it is why there are rumours he won't attend Eugenie's wedding.

I doubt that he will spend an entire two months apart from his wife and she won't leave Balmoral, except for a national crisis, until the beginning of October so he will go up at some time.

It is normal for the Yorks to go up early - around Beatrice's birthday - and for Philip to go up after they have left. Most of the family only go up for a week or so and some for only a weekend these days. Charles is the only one who is up there for the entire two months, staying at Birkhall rather than Balmoral of course. The Cambridges and Sussexes will probably go up for a week or so and stay at Balmoral with the Queen rather than stay with Charles at Birkhall.

He will not do this to Eugenie, I am sure.:flowers:

I don't think he will either but there are reports to that effect in the media.

His dislike of Sarah is well-known, as is Charles' and William's.

I knew Philip couldn't stand her and it doesn't surprise me Charles has taken that position..but I somehow missed that William doesn't like her.

Sad that Charles is rumored to be on the anti-Sarah bandwagon. It’s as if he wants to erase the 1980’s from him memory. However, if my memory serves me well I remember that he and Diana were behind the Andrew-Sarah match. Perhaps he is just jealous that his brother has a good relationship with his ex-wife. You could say many things about Andrew’s business dealings, but a few things are unquestionable — his dedication as a father and his loyalty as an ex-spouse. Also —- let’s it forget that Andrew has never been taped saying that he wanted to be his mistress’s tampon! Lots for Charles to be jealous of. JMHO

Where is the evidence that William dislikes or is Anti Sarah? Only that she wasn’t invited to his wedding? Was Mark Phillips invited? Charles Spencer’s 2 ex wives?

Andrew & Sarah separated in 1992. William was 10. How much interaction could W have had with her in the years afterwards? Not much.

I wonder if they still have the Ghillies Ball while the family are up there.
