You have my sympathy, Soapstar. I will be burying my own father this Saturday as well, but we will not have to worry about any Covid restrictions. I cannot imagine having to try and do what you and the Royal Family are doing at this time and restrict guest lists so severely that you have to...

Love the hat. Not a fan of the dress. Too much dress for her, and it's very boring. Sadly, my style and the Duchess' style do not seem to gel at all. I have rarely seen her in anything that makes me go 'wow'.

Pretty coloured dress. I want that coat.

Seperately it is a nice skirt and a nice blouse, but together it is all kinds of wrong.

Very disappointed in the dress. I didn't want to see anything OTT, but had hoped for something interesting. The dress is boring and uninspired.

Pretty dress.

What a lovely welcome from everyone. Makes me wonder what took me so long (ten years!) to come out of lurker mode and join the fun.

Yes, that is it exactly. They do not reside here, therefore have no real influence or standing here. It would be completely different if we had our own royal family living in NZ. And I totally love your little fantasy idea! The only problem is no one would want the York's. I'll put my hand...

I totally understand that. I guess I don't really know what I would vote. I do find it quite ridiculous that we still recognise the British monarch as our head of state. It has become totally meaningless and unnecessary. If it came to a vote, my heart would probably say no to a republic, but my...

Am I a royalist? That is an interesting question. I guess, based on the definition given I would have to say I am probably not. I live in New Zealand, where QEII is technically our monarch. But in a very real way she plays no part in our lives, our parliment or our country. If there was a...

Your post is interesting Britters. It seems to me that this is a bit of a generational thing. Many people who are growing up in the modern social media age don't seem to have the same feeling about posting family members/children as those who are a little older. I fall into the 'didn't even...

She's not the only one. I'm rather a fan of Masterchef Australia as well.

Oh, my first real post! Love the hair, adore the shoes (I want them!), love the style of the dress, but not the dress itself. It's just too big and fussy on her.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I see I have actually been lurking since 2008! While I love a good royal wedding, this one will be on at about 2am here. I'm not sure I'm dedicated enough to stay up to watch it, but we will see!

Hi all I am Sam (girl Sam, not boy Sam). I am from New Zealand and have been lurking on these forums for what feels like many years. I have decided it is time to come out of hiding, get over the extreme shyness, and join you all in the fun. I hope you will see me posting more in various...
