I like the day outfit -- looks very tasteful, though I wonder about the wisdom of wearing black in such a sunny location! :smile: I like the gown...but then again, I have a thing about grapes...

Wow! Here's to many more years keeping the throne stable. :flowers:

Actually, yes -- they are. How many anniversary parties have you gone to where you know, know damn well that there is a lot of behind-the-scenes crap going on? That one or both of the parties has been unfaithful and that their offspring aren't exactly the most "well-adjusted"? Where people not...

Ooooooh she looks warm and toasty!

Just saw this while surfing the web: Fergie braves dinner date with ex-husband Prince Andrew - without her make-up | the Daily Mail My goodness, Princess Beatrice's outfit is...well. It is.

I think I would drop a quick curtsey, look up and smile, then continue on my way. If he/she wanted to further detain me, they would have to make that move.

Would I curtsey to Camilla? Yes -- as a sign of deference to her seniority and rank over me in age AND station in life. I was raised to be polite. As for Cherie Blair, who did she think she was fooling, acting Bolshie when she was married to Mr. Establishment-Dressed-In-Labour-Clothes? Please...

Ah, kids! So adorable together. :wub: Oh, the Duchess' outfit is very tasteful. I like it.

I think she is beautiful, especially her smile. When she is really smiling, she smiles with her whole face. But she has a serene look that just spells "regal dignity". Studio Barzel - Queen Elizabeth II HM With Tony Blair on the 1st Day of the 2005 G8 Summit...

Or strawberry....:lol:

All of this just brings out the romantic in me. :flowers::wub: And I loved HM's white outfit at the Thanksgiving Service.

Please don't get me started on resemblances. :biggrin: I was going through the "Harry as a child" picture thread and I swear he was a dead ringer for Dubya with those cheeks and that slight squint. He was still cute as a button, though. :flowers:

"His Royal Grumpiness"! :lol: Seriously, though, I love the apples anecdote. Friendship and liveliness, those two.

I would say the same, but sometimes you find yourself attracted to someone such that you cannot pull away, even when you want more than anything to do so. It's even more difficult when you find a connection that goes below the surface. That could be the case here. Or it could be simple...

Oh, goodness....could you imagine Baroness Thatcher reacting as dramatically as Tony Blair? :rofl: Yet incredibly out of character--and the press would have jumped all over her for "false sincerity" or some b.s. charge. Yet Blair got a pass, though it was obvious he was playing it false. I...

I'd have to say the Princess Royal is my favorite child of HM. I admire her "no muss-no fuss-no silliness attitude", her insistence on being herself, and her approach to her work. She is very much her father's daughter, but of course the image-makers hate her because she will not play the role...

I think that the Princess Royal is a fundamentally a hard person with a soft center. Tough, but loving. She has a strong awareness of herself and doesn't move with the blowing wind. I've seen her when she'd gone about her work for children's charities, and I think she really cares for...
