She is in complete denial about living in Fulham! What I find hilarious is that she keeps taking photos of her and Casimir in the same part of Chelsea. There is a bench which she keeps returning to (latest post with Casimir and a coffee cup 2 days ago). She also stages many of her photo shoots in/around this area. It's just by Robinson Street. It's not even a well known area for Instagram influencers to go - I think she is just trying to mislead people into thinking that that is her neighbourhood. Usually there are homeless people hanging out on that bench - something which Laura obviously doesn't realise as she isn't a local.Something strange I’ve observed about Laura - I live a few streets away from her and NEVER see her out with kids in this area- not on weekdays nor on the weekends. There are two nice parks with playgrounds near her but she doesn’t take her kids there- not even when it’s quiet and there are no people. I’ve seen her husband Mark walk Mila to school a few times and thereafter he sometimes goes to the Le Pain Quotidian next to the Parsons Green tube station but that’s it. I’ve seen the nanny running after the kids a few times taking them home from school but never stopping over at the park that they were passing to play. Seems like they only go out to ‘play’ at Laura’s photo shoot locations to have a ‘spontaneous stroll’ for the cameras. I find the whole thing so weird and sad for the kids-what a childhood!
Fulham, like every part of London, has nice parts and not so nice parts. The bit Laura is in is not the nice bit.Fulham isn't that bad is it? Why is she ashamed to live there? Where does HTS live?
I remember hearing from a friend that she cried when she found out Anoushka was a girl
So she said - I think her story about how they all started screaming when Casimir was born shows she wanted a boy more than she let on. Interested to hear the story of her crying with anoushka.As in after she’d given birth? I thought she always maintained she never found out what the genders of her babies were?
That flight to the Maldives must have been grim with 4 children!!!! I think it was for her birthday or something. But why not just wait.This holiday looks dreary as hell. Comporta is not warm this time of year- they’ll be lucky if temperatures rise over 15 degrees right now. Shivering away on the beach with four kids isn’t my idea of fun. Those girls must be freezing in those little dresses playing on the wet sand.
She seems so bad at holiday planning. Why did they cram the Maldives trip into a one week half term instead of doing it in the longer Easter holidays?
I know! And ironically (although admittedly, unusually), Portugal, or at least the Algarve, where we were during Feb half term, was balmy and sunny. Silly Laura.This holiday looks dreary as hell.

status symbol - definitely. A lot of mums I think just go away to keep up appearances. But also, in the case of Laura, she doesn’t really have much in London. She has an average sized house (on the smallish side considering there’s 6 people minimum living in it), and, as another poster mentioned, she never does anything local with the kids in the holiday like summer camps. Maybe she doesn’t want the facade to slip? I think one of the reasons she avoids spending any time in Fulham is that she is a very aloof character who doesn’t have many close friends. She doesn’t mesh with the other mums at school, and keeps people at arms’ length. I suppose because of lack of time, but also because they’ll notice the inconsistencies between her actual life self and the way she portrays it online. The only way to maintain this is to keep a distance literally! So I think she basically self-exiles herself from london every single holiday.Came on here to say that. Is it some sort of status symbol to go on holiday every other week, even if to somewhere that dreary? As soon as half term hits all I see is these women saying, “better prepare for our holiday!”. Then they drag the family off somewhere where the weather is as bad as England. I’m utterly confused.

I don’t envy her constant holiday travelling at all. It must be so annoying having to constantly pack for trips. And kids need their toys and loads of activities. Plus she has a lot of weeks to fill - private schools get around 20 weeks of holiday a year! My kids would get sick of being away so much - even if it was a lovely place. They love being at home for at least half of the holidays- and so do I!
