Im not sure..........I think its a masterstroke to stop everyone wearing a uniform!
At the end of the day, its going to be a massively slimmed down covid funeral to say goodbye and show respect to Prince Philip.
All it does is actually show Andrew and Harry up for being so petty......And denies them to chance to put on their fancy dress outfits!
But i spose it does raise the issue of ''How to deal with Harry and his wife, going forwards!
I have a feeling that Charles and William would be a lot less charitable and forgiving, if the Queen wasnt there! Meghan hasnt got Camilla and Kate onside at all! I am sure Kate will be polite but I cant see her ever forgetting the slights issued to her in the Oprah interview!
If Kates recollections of the squabble about Charlottes bridesmaid dress vary from the Douchness Meg... its a long way back!
There is precedent for HMTQ. The QueenM loathed Wallace Simpson & kept that flame flickering for a lifetime. I suspect the QM was not taken with WS even before the abdication. Neat parallels with Catherine & Megs.
Can only imagine in the Ladies loo after the ceremony...at the mirrors gather two dainty ladies.
Camilla: ‘Fucking arse, my feet are killing me’
Catherine: ‘No kidding babes’
Camilla: ‘Gotta light?’
Catherine: ‘In my bag, help yerself’
Voice behind loo door : ‘Oh, can I bum a fag?
Cams: ‘That you Zaz?’
Zara: ‘Yo!’
Other voice behind a loo door : ‘I thought you’d given that up’
Zara: ‘Muuuuum, it’s just the one!’
Sounds of los flushing, doors open both Anne & Zara join dainty ladies sinkside.
Anne: ‘So what do you think of the show so far?’
Cams: ‘What can I say...’
Zara: ...Jeez, I though Wills was going to deck him’
Raucous ladylike cackling laughter
Catherine: ‘The night is still young’
Cams: ‘I’ve told Chas that this is the last time, last fekkin’ time we go through this charade.’
Anne: ‘ Too fekkin right. What a pair of bollocked brained numpties those two are’
Cams: ‘Just putting up with it for the old girl’
Zara: ‘Kaz, nice touch putting the picture of all the kids with Grandpa in the order of service’
Catherine: ‘Wasn’t me, it was the Lord Chamberlain’s idea’
Anne: ‘That new bloke, the spook?’
Cams: ’Ooo, he’s sharp’
Anne: ‘Ain’t he just’
More raucous laughter.
Enter Eugenie.
Eugenie: ‘Alright Girls? I’m busting for a slash’
Zara: ‘How you doing babes?’
Eugenie: ‘I’m going to nut that ginger git if he doesn’t stop pestering me’
The Land Rover - brilliant!
