I personally think the star of the RF is going to be Louis. There will be interest in George and Charlotte of course but I think it’s going to be Louis that sparks the bidding wars when he’s older. He’s got the Middleton genes and I think will be a looker plus he seems to have a bit of a sparky and wild personality which the press and public will love. I can see Charlotte going down the Princess Anne route, duty bound thanks to her parents but not particularly interested in the press and getting attention (I actually hope this is the case as the press would likely be awful just because she’s a girl). Archie and Lili meanwhile will be long forgotten about.

Well, in the interest of fairness, there were a lot of windows down on both those cars, so it probably wasn't her doing.
I still think he looks arsey though
I dunno, I thought she looked quite perky today?
Better than she was looking a couple of months ago anyway.

I think Charles was suffering a bit from being stuck under that Bearskin on horseback for the previous couple of hours as it was quite a hot day.

Shocked I tell ya ... Shocked
@Pennypennypenny
is it his hands that make you think autoimmune ?
Princess Anne is the boss, she really is. She would have made a great monarch.
But they will be around for what they are due I’m sure Megan will see to that
BBM. Putting on my tinfoil hat to say that this video was made by a sugar with a loud cheering section. The people across the road aren’t cheering, are they? Any other people except those in the immediate vicinity?
Reminds me of standing on the sidelines of a 5k where one of my family members is running. We can see when they’re approaching and the group of us gives a loud cheer and rings cowbells. Other spectators don’t really do that until their friend/family member runs by.
Just a theory. “Emily” the producer from Santa Barbara? Of course she’s cheering.
Personally I think Zara, Mike and Peter played a blinder paying the Harkles to babysit while they hit the free bar. They obviously realise they need the cash bow Netflix and the book deal is falling through
#6 might not be Regent. There might be something in place to prevent it and nominate someone else. Hopefully!

I don't know who it is. I've been wondering that. It can't be Kate as the hat is too small.
Needed for the photographer(s)Trying to guess just HOW many fresh coats of Ronseal she has applied for the occasion? Plus the ridiculous amount of make up which is not remotely appropriate for a daytime event. You could see her highlighter from space!
its a shame with her being a working royal her children didn't get to appear on the balcony along side them
Disagree about the Queen. I thought she looked really well considering she's 96 and not long had covid. She looked genuinely happy tooJust in from work.
sped through the thread from when I left it at 11-30 this morning.
my take, I think the Queen looks ill . She’s lost heaps of weight and I think she is going down hill fast. Let’s face it , when her father was dying of cancer the public were not told. Does she have an illness we are not being told about ?
Charles is not in great health himself by the looks of things.
No flat packs, I really expected to see a glimpse of them . Do we think they will go to the service tomorrow? The flat packs I mean not the gruesome twosome .
They must feel very irked. They are litterally on the periphery. It must be killing Megsl She thought she had hitched her wagon to a star and the star is fading fast and she’s fading with him . Sweet justice
He has not proved himself to have the responsibility or intelligence to do that job. Neither does he have the humility to serve rather than make it all about him. Not a good choice. If it was tomorrow? Anne, no doubt. Going forward, Edward? Slim pickings really but Harry is totally unsuitable.
possibly Eugenie?
Oh come on, do we really believe a provision hasn't already been drafted for such a situation?
I mean just take a look at Haz's current popularity ratings
Who in their right mind would imagine this could go down well with the British public? T'will never happen
Does the brim on her hat shoot out to one side ? Or it it just the photograph angle ? It could slice someone’s head offFrom the DTel, sorry I dont know how to do a spoiler - please feel free to look away
Hush-hush Meghan defuses the 'Sussex bomb'
Duke and Duchess of Sussex ‘stick to the official script’ to avoid overshadowing the Queen during Platinum Jubilee celebrations

With a finger to her lips and a smile on her face, the image showed the Duchess of Sussex putting family first.
Much had been made of Harry and Meghan’s return to the royal fold ahead of the Platinum Jubilee, with royal courtiers concerned that a “Sussex bomb” might be about to land on the four-day festivities to honour the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
Yet as The Telegraph was the first to report, days before the couple jetted in from California with their children Archie, aged three, and Lilibet, who turns one on Saturday, the plan was always to “stick to the official script”.
Not only would they be avoiding any “surprise” unofficial events that might run the risk of overshadowing the 96-year-old monarch, they would also even be keeping a low profile at the official ones.
And so it was that the Sussexes spent Trooping the Colour being somewhat lesser spotted.

Bar the image of Meghan, 40, affectionately hushing Isla, 10, and Savannah Phillips, 11 who was holding Lena Tindall, three, we saw barely hide or hair of the couple, who only 15 months ago had made themselves so conspicuous on Oprah Winfrey.

The picture of her hushing Peter Phillips’ and Zara Tindall’s children appeared emblematic of what was a decidedly muted royal reunion.
Absent from the carriage procession to and from Buckingham Palace – as well as the later appearance on the balcony because of their non-working royal status – the only glimpse we caught was a brief peek out of the large windows of the Major General’s Office overlooking Horse Guards Parade.
Another photograph captured the couple chatting amiably with the Duke of Kent, the Queen’s cousin, from the office, which used to belong to the Duke of Wellington. Not so much a case of meeting their Waterloo, then. More like Super Trooper(s).

How they arrived, no one really knew – although it is thought they may have been aboard a blacked-out minibus that was given a police escort up The Mall before the carriages started rolling out of Buckingham Palace.
The mode of transport may have been a far cry from the gilt-edged nature of their conveyance at previous parades, but a lot has happened since they took the decision to quit public duties in March 2020.
They didn’t appear too concerned about the demotion either, with a spokesman confirming that they had been “looking forward” to watching the event, albeit from the cheap seats.
It is no secret that when they visited the UK in April, making a whistle-stop trip to see the Queen at Windsor Castle on their way to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands, Harry, 37, caused consternation at the palace after appearing to call “Granny’s” safety into question.
In an interview with the US network NBC, he said of his rare visit: “I’m just making sure she’s protected and has got the right people around her.”
As such, those organising the jubilee had privately feared the Sussexes’ habit of making unpublicised appearances, not to mention unexpected outbursts, might create a “circus” following their every move.
There had even been anxiety over whether they would be accompanied by the Netflix film crew that travelled to Britain with them en route to The Hague. (It later emerged the streaming giant, with whom they have signed a multi-million dollar deal, had not been accredited).
Yet the low-profile nature of their presence at Thursday’s showpiece event suggests the couple, who will be introducing the Queen to her namesake Lilibet for the very first time, are adopting a family-first approach this weekend.

This is very much in keeping with Her Majesty’s wishes. Even after the fallout from Oprah, when the couple accused the Royal family of racism, it was the Queen who kept insisting the couple remained “much-loved members of the family”.
Behind the scenes, royal aides have been meticulously planning not only the events to mark the sovereign’s historic milestone but also the “optics”.
As one palace insider explained: “This jubilee is all about demonstrating what working royalty is all about. They will be made prominent by the media but none of the non-working royals are actually going to be that prominent. The distinction has been drawn between institution and family.”
As such, while the Sussexes are expected to attend Friday’s Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, they will remain below radar, publicly at least, while still included in all the royals’ private events such as Thursday’s lunch with the Queen.
It is not yet known whether they – or their children – will attend Saturday’s Party at the Palace or the Pageant on Sunday but, as one royal source put it: “I’m not convinced you’re going to see a lot of them. The Queen has been clear on it all.”
The palace insider added: “That’s the reality of where they are now, and it’s about the Queen doing the final part of her job, signing it off with her seal of approval in a very clear and public way.
“It’s about Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children being front and centre of the monarchy. It is her showing what she sees as the future of the family.”
As the Queen said in her uplifting message to the nation: “I continue to be inspired by the goodwill shown to me, and hope that the coming days will provide an opportunity to reflect on all that has been achieved during the last 70 years as we look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm.”
Much has been said and done since Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals. There will no doubt be tension behind palace walls as the couple reacquaint themselves with their royal in-laws, not least William and Kate.
But for the Queen, spending this Platinum Jubilee surrounded by family both near and far, this is not just about looking back – but forwards to the dawn of a new royal era.
"I told you to put chewing gum in her wig not set fire to it. Mia get the fire extinguisher and Charlotte tell Louis to get the ginger bleep out of the cupboard"
In reality, there's no guarantee that Hazbeen will still be alive if George needs a regent. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
(I don't really wish anyone dead)

Maybe she just doesn’t “get” windows ??. No one can take a photo through a window , everybody knows that, RIGHT !!!Well, in the interest of fairness, there were a lot of windows down on both those cars, so it probably wasn't her doing.
I still think he looks arsey though
It does and there is a humongous navy bow on the other side to counterbalance it. Stupid design!
