I hate to hear that regarding Queen Margrethe, as you know I just adore her. I can only imagine she would have designed a new gown for the 50th, but she can wear the amazing lime/apple green silk ballgown to every big event for the rest of my life and I would be delighted! I'm a bit sad about the New Year's Gala has been cancelled as well, it is one of my fave tiara spotting events!Thanks for the new thread.
@MagpieSassyPants CP Mary is doing well. She is isolating. The royal family have been exemplary regarding conduct during COVID. My heart does break as Queen Margrethe were to celebrate her 50 years jubilee as Queen, these celebrations have been postponed, and the New Year's Gala have been cancelled.
@NoIAmNotAHorse I see where you come from, and you see where I come from. No ill will, lets move on, shall we?
RE: Bully; so Bully was bullied by his fellow soldiers, so now he bullies and belittles everybody on his big camera. I wonder if that makes him feel big, powerful and strong...
NB: I do find it terribly odd, that a tattler, who started by attacking another tattler, and then said that Tattle wasn't the place for them because of too much nastiness, only to now show up and defend traveling across boarders... I would almost call it perfect timing...
I had to Google what moulin et frites is and I'm glad I did! I love mussels!!!...A few miles from here (about 10 or so) is a place called Mussel Beach and we used to go there to pick mussels right off of the rocks! It was fabulous!!!...The path down to the beach was actually an almost vertical sandstone cliff that, over the years, people have carved "steps" into but the first part down you have to lower yourself down with a rope attached to a tree! I could never get down there now but luckily we live in a seaside town and there are a lot of fresh seafood shops around....One of my favorite memories is of my ex, who had become my best friend in the last 2 years of his life, used to take me to the beach to watch the HUGE waves coming in and we'd stop at our favorite fresh seafood shop to get freshly made shrimp cocktail bowls...My mouth is watering just thinking about them, as well as the mussels!!!!...We also used to go buy fresh fish and crabs right off of the boats! Ahhhhh...memories!!!Aunt Chantal likes moulin et frites....well thats my kind of girl...you dont eat them out of the pan though...but you definitely use a shell to eat them..Snort didnt know..well he is from Limburg..he is forgiven...i bet he is allergic to moulins ...
Florian is a local friend of Michael's. In the comments Michael has said that Florian is straight and has a girlfriend.
I am fortunate that I have never really watched the Petherick clan, in fact I block their channels. While I have enjoyed hearing the bits of tea here, I have no time to watch them. Your post only underscores that, although I block Sillymar as well. I have no desire to witness the coming downfall in real time.
Wow...I saw the word "tornado" and I instantly flashed back to this morning....they had a scheduled warning alarm practice right across the bay from us and it woke me up...scared the crap out of me. I didn't know at the time that it was scheduled and my thoughts went from "air raid warning" to "tornado warning" to "tsunami warning"...I was all over the place panicking. I called my daughter who works for a security and answering service and she told me it was scheduled....my old heart almost couldn't take it!!!!
@NotAChatelaine
Um, no, the Household Cavalry is not a "perpetual fancy dress party", in the same way way that guardsmen in the five Brigade of Guards regiments are not Toy Town soldiers permanently marching about in bearskins! Both elements of the British army see active service (not written in a huff, just wanting to clarify a misconception and as a daughter whose late father served with 1 of the Guards regiments...tanks, WWII).
For those who still think it’s a version of Disneyland see below

Just watched Aunty and Uncle go to the market.
What fascinated me was they bought seafood first and then went for lunch and a bit of a antique shop!
I do hope they have a ice chest in the boot of the car for that seafood.
I know its cold there but I guess , being an Australian and our warmer weather and all....... seafood food poisoning from warm shellfish etc is a big old No No !
I would go straight home with that food !

Queen Margarethe is lovely..very smart and artistic..i also like the fact she still smokes likes a chimney.. and wears her furs..its always the more the merrier.. .she also lost a lott of strain since her husband died..i wish her a good health and more years on the throne..
In the spirit of transparency, I believe that I used the phrase initially, not in a derogatory manner, but to suggest that BP may have been attracted to the attention he might get in full ceremonial uniform without considering that he would also be first and foremost a regular soldier.
I entirely agree with you and In fact posted a link earlier to the same article you have included in your post.
"I respect your views but I wonder what he thought he was enlisting in - some kind of perpetual fancy dress party?"
its not a problem this time of the year..we do the same..never been sick..in summer its different though..
Princess Mary reminds me a great deal of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Both " commoners" but entirely suited to their roles as future Queens.
Oh no sorry, I came on the new thread to post as soon as I saw the first comment. I am very proud of our military, having grown up around it, worked for it all my working life and married (and divorced a sailor).
I should finished the last thread before posting then I would have seen your reply.

my laptop sometimes plays tricks with me..have to say..i dropped a glass of wine in it a few years ago...but it still works ..although some keys dont work anymore like they used to..
Quite believable for foggy Selmar. He's rather dull you know, doesn't pick up on cues very well. Tatty should have bought a less expensive phone. It doesn't look good to be extravagant when begging for dollars. He won't be able to figure out how to use it anyway.
Love and respect to @Jikki2 . Love your intelligence and humour and of course your service to country!

Oh I agree, from her designs for the theatre and ballet, to the illustrations for the Tolkien translation, to the piece on youtube teaching people how to make a fox mask from construction paper, she is the royal which which I would most like to, "hang." Or "Vibe." We could smoke and drink and talk about art and design and if I was extremely lucky play in the jewel vault with her, (yes I am well aware that would never happen, but a girl can dream.) The way she uses her diamond floral pieces in her hair is just stunning, especially with her steel gray hair. That being said, my favorite picture of her is in the market in France outside of her summer home. Relaxed, chic, and very interested in the food they would be serving that evening!
What’s ironic (I guess) about the whole story is that had Billy not deserted, he probably never would have traveled to France, met Gwen, and live in a chateau now. And we would probably would never have heard of him. No wonder he appears to treat his desertion as a joke in the comments ...he’s laughing all the way to the bank!

indeed..and she always wears the same clothes when she is in France..
have to say i do the same..
Billy has blown it for me, I'll never watch any of the Pethericks again. I don't have huge feelings about the military but I do feel strongly about fulfilling contracts. He went in with his eyes open and no doubt enjoyed the prestige of being a trooper.
There are ways to get out of any contract if you need to. Running away is never one of them and really shows his character. The fact that he ran away and never dealt with it, for 13 years!, is low. And now he seems to almost laugh about it! So enjoy your dishonourable discharge you horrible little man. Bye bye.
