Does anyone know why she never speaks of Ted Baker anymore? She used to love that brand...
I never understood that either. I'm her height and I don't think that is tall at all. I figured she meant she is tall according to UK standards? I don't know...
She’a an idiot
She’s not getting paid by topshop anymore so she’s binned them off. Someone else made a comment earlier saying this industry is completely f*d and it really is.
Oh I'm imagining Tilda Swinton reading this
I follow/am acquainted with some minor royals and their social media tributes have been minimal because, I get the sense, Prince Philip was quite a reserved man when it came to displays if emotion. There's a difference between deference and pure sycophancy
Tilda Swinton .... I wish! No more like a cross between Nico from the Velvet Underground and Mick Fleetwood (height wise) in black and white.Oh I'm imagining Tilda Swinton reading this

Quite. I had thought that yesterday's sycophancy was as far as it had gone, but going against government warnings is bad. Going against the wishes of the family of the deceased so that she can post a video to her instagram is utterly deplorable. Certainly, the extended family members I know have not ventured to the crowded areas; they want sobriety, not a circus.Tilda Swinton .... I wish!

Freddy’s over emotional and creepy mourning towards somebody she never met or had any affiliation with reaches new heights. She’s wearing the Scottish hat too. Darling he was Duke of Edinburgh only by title given by marriage. He was Greek by birth, Danish and German by ancestry. Would be more fitting if you had to raid the dressing up box if you wore a dirndl and offered Danish butter biscuits but no you’re too thick and infantile to realise that titles often have no bearing whatsoever on ancestry just by the availability of whatever title is dispensed to that individual. No wonder she didn’t make it beyond Sixth Form. Oy gevalt!
On a serious note knowing what His Royal Highness was like, having met him five times. My dear departed Mother in law was related to him through his mother’s father’s line. I first met him at the Buckingham Palace garden party, two via my husband’s cousin’s charity whom are notable aristocrats in the UK and two other times at a private function hosted by mutual friends. My married title wasn’t Mrs either. Don’t go going pistachio green now Freddy! His Royal Highness did not suffer fools and had no compunction to tell you so too. He would have laughed you out of the room in a heartbeat. What a bloody fool as he would say and did say to journalists, party guests, dignitaries and even his own wife. If that Scottish hat fits in her case.
The fact she hadn’t respected the Royal Family’s wishes of staying away to protect others and their privacy speaks volumes. His Royal Hoghness clearly stipulated NO FUSS. Respect his wishes little girl!

In fairness, it seems that @Hungarianka has a slightly more personal connection to the monarchy and to the royal family, so I can understand that, although I'm an outsider with friends in those circles so I've carried on as normal this weekend tbh and haven't posted anything about it to my social media. However, I recognise that some of my friends are genuinely hurt because of their own connection to Prince Philip and/or the Royal Family and also a little scared because Prince Philip's death brings to the fore uncomfortable questions about class, the longevity of the monarchy and the constitution. I somehow doubt that Freddy or any of the other influencers who are "devastated"/"heartbroken" really appreciate the sensitivity of those issues.You’re certainly making a fuss over it all yourself to be honest
(please no one take offence to this, I am vexed and I am joshing)I do believe in the beginning she featured brands she truly loved - she bought Ted Baker dresses with babysitting money she'd save up. However as time progressed she got greedy and started featuring only brands who sponsored her or had the potential to sponsor her and that led to her promoting mass fashion, especially Topshop, Abercrombie, & other stories and River Island.
Well that’s your opinion which you are entitled toYou’re certainly making a fuss over it all yourself to be honest
Personally I find her attachment to his death very strange. I stand by that and I’m free to say what I like. I’m sure there are others who agree and some who don’t. You’ve made comments too that have been fussy (in my opinion) yet I’ve made no opinion to them as a response as it’s your right to say what you like 
Moderating each other on here is against the rules I hasten to add. If you have an issue with whatever I say either ignore me or report my comment to the moderator.I think it will get even worse as UK restrictions lift tomorrow. The police clearly stated stay away, Royal Family also stated too yet out they come. I understand when Diana, Princess of Wales died the reaction. She was 36. Mother of two young boys and had a very tumultuous, at times sad and short lived time on Earth. Her passion towards people was exceptional. HRH Prince Philip’s life indeed very remarkable, a brilliant man but he was 99 years old. That’s the difference at least in my view. People can do what they like providing it does not harm others and going against Government issued advice and police is basically using his passing as an excuse to go for a jolly. Maybe it’s a generational thing I’m much older and maybe lessons can be learnt from the youth to the old. In this case, why risk it? There is still a pandemic going on that will go on for much longer than needed if everybody decides not to stick to the law. Freddy is not above the law even if it is “Freedom Day” tomorrow. That’s tomorrow not today. Difference is critical.
I think you have a good balance of using life experience and personal stories to prove a point and not to self-aggrandize. Freddy on the other hand could use this lesson on decorum for sure.Well that’s your opinion which you are entitled to
I’m 62. An old fart to some. A jewellery box of pearls to others (pearls: wisdom) somebody hasn’t taught her well whoever that is to blame is not for me to say but she is insufferable lately. It’s getting worse much like her friend in Warwickshire. I do care actually because there was a time where I thought she was delightful both of them hence why I watched. I was very happy for her success but her attitude bloody stinks and somebody should say something because judging by it nobody has ever held her accountable for the repulsive things she’s said and done. Grace Foley, the Estate Agent and Lawyers for her flat. Anything that doesn’t go her way the mask slips and she is profiting from. Somebody needs to say something because I’ve seen women like her go from strength to strength and fall so hard proverbially you can’t help but feel sorry for them when they do. If she had gone through life the way she perpetuates like being posh etc “The Miss Manners act” she would have gone to Finishing School, they are a lot harsher than my words. If she was to be charming sincerely and consistently than acting like a spoilt vacuous at times creepy little girl she would go much further in life and I hope she does go far and is a success, but she won’t achieve that currently in the mindset she exhibits.
Fair dinkum, you make a very good pointI don't hope she goes far in life at all, leave that for the humble hard working girls in the world and not the princess and the pea over here.

I totally agree with you, she’s just taken it way too far. How can she be devastated?Well that’s your opinion which you are entitled to

Heya
Of course I don’t mind you asking as you asked in a way that wasn’t patronising or judgmental.Heya
I respect your opinion
If you don’t mind me asking why is the term girly girl offensive?
This was such an interesting and informative post - thank you for sharing. I have really enjoyed reading everything you’ve told us about your upbringing and life.
You’re welcome. I was reticent at first due to its length but I’m glad you found my reasoning acceptable and received it so warmly. I love pink too I just don’t define myself by it or any other hue. I hope when I’m dust in the wind people who know me will remember me for being a good mother, forget my career or anything else. What matters is family and promoting free speech and balanced respectful dialogue which can be hard at times but that hopefully will prevent future conflicts personally or globally. We can only hope and pray
True.. she’s met him five times and knows ever so many aristocrats. My apologiesIn fairness, it seems that @Hungarianka has a slightly more personal connection to the monarchy and to the royal family, so I can understand that, although I'm an outsider with friends in those circles so I've carried on as normal this weekend tbh and haven't posted anything about it to my social media.

Personally, I'm just vexed that a Rachael Blackmore made history yesterday as she became the first woman to win the Grand National and any other year that would be front page material - yet here she is, pipped to the post by one of the most privileged of men
