We don’t have a National dress, do we?
We don’t have a National dress, do we?I’ve seen the Swedish RF wear their national dress to certain events which is quite cool:

It’s interesting what you said about designers take on national dress - I think that’s a really cool idea. I know it’s not coronation worthy but I’ve seen a few German designers who have created formal dirndl wear and it looks really nice!

yes King Charle's of Scotland does when he is in Scotland he likes to wear the kilt which is seen as our national dressWe don’t have a National dress, do we?
I don’t believe England does, Scotland has the kilt, not sure about Ireland and Wales has a national dress too.We don’t have a National dress, do we?
Wales does see Falkor's post above.I don’t believe England does, Scotland has the kilt, not sure about Ireland and Wales has a national dress too.
Yes I said that Wales has a national dress. I used to have a porcelain doll with the outfit on which I got on holiday. No idea where it went though :/Wales does see Falkor's post above.
Absolutely not! It's a Morris dancer's costume, which is obviously much more stylish.This is England’s dress, right?View attachment 1887001
You're all incorrect!Absolutely not! It's a Morris dancer's costume, which is obviously much more stylish.
William is inherently lazy - he doesn't want to go so he won't. The way they have behaved to their royal cousins in the past - snubbing Daniel and Victoria at the 2012 Olympics for example - shows it...I don’t know why it’s annoyed me that the BRF have only sent Anne to Constantine’s funeral but it has a bit. Every other family has sent the King and Queen, even if Charles and Camilla didn’t want to go, I think they have a France trip very soon, why couldn’t William and Kate go? He was Williams godfather and Williams the heir, sending Anne and Williams cousin just feels a bit disrespectful when the same countries would never do the same in return. It reminded me yesterday my sister asked if I was going to read Prince Harrys book and said William and Kate come across as jobsworths, she might be just about the first person to ever think that about them, cause even with a clear calendar he still sends someone in his place.
I believe Anne was already in Cyprus so it was possibly down to logistics.I don’t know why it’s annoyed me that the BRF have only sent Anne to Constantine’s funeral but it has a bit.

This happens a lot at events - weddings, funerals etc. Everyone else sends the Monarch and their partner or the heir but we end up sending Anne or Edward. It often looks like we think are better than other Royals, it’s a bad look.I don’t know why it’s annoyed me that the BRF have only sent Anne to Constantine’s funeral but it has a bit.

Couldn't agree more! Especially considering the close ties with the Greek royal family (or have they forgotten about Prince Phillip already?) I would have thought at least William should have gone. It really highlights two big problems, Williams reluctance to pick up these overseas events (for god sake he could be there and back within the same day!) and the Windsor's overall reluctance to form any kind of bond with European royals. Every European monarch (I think?) came for both QEII's funeral and Prince Phillips memorial and every single time there's a European event, we send either Anne or Edward and Sophie (no disrespect to either meant here but sending the 16th in line to throne seems a bit of a kick in the teeth)I don’t know why it’s annoyed me that the BRF have only sent Anne to Constantine’s funeral but it has a bit.

I dont think there is ever going to be a book that is that clear about it.This is a bit off-topic but I recently started listening to the audiobook of The Real Diana, by Lady Colin Campbell. It was written shortly after Diana died - how does it rate in terms of a reliable account of C&D's courtship & marriage? A lot of what I've read is at variance with what came out in more recent years (eg, the extent of C&D's relationship before the engagement). Or is there a good Tattle or Reddit thread I can go to if this isn't the right forum?
Sorry to double post, I can understand Charles not going as it would be his first overseas visit as King and I've seen rumours he's heading to France soon so going to Greece first may impact that but there's no excuse for William not going, especially considering Constantine was his godfather and I'm sure the kids would cope if he missed one school runCouldn't agree more!

Anne was in Cyprus which I should think is probably why she went because she was so close already.Sorry to double post, I can understand Charles not going as it would be his first overseas visit as King and I've seen rumours he's heading to France soon so going to Greece first may impact that but there's no excuse for William not going, especially considering Constantine was his godfather and I'm sure the kids would cope if he missed one school run
A BA return flight to Greece is a couple hundred quid when booked short notice, I’m sure William could have gone as well as Anne. Lady Gabriella is there as his goddaughter, William could have attended either as godson or in a professional capacity.Anne was in Cyprus which I should think is probably why she went because she was so close already.
Maybe people don't get the choice to go and it's up to the reigning monarchI don’t know why it’s annoyed me that the BRF have only sent Anne to Constantine’s funeral but it has a bit.
