Oddly another example of Meghan copying someone else's style. Now that l do find bizarre.Oh the Bath woman is fabulous, she had a TV show before strictly, I liked her. I think she had a .....wet nurse for the children, a bizarre concept to me and in todays world.
That is fecking Meghans dress, how funny!!!!
I might have to stick on Piers tomorrow morning just for lolz and I eagerly await the mails grovelling.
And did she ask Givenchy to design the dress modeled after AvL’s dress? So strange.Oddly another example of Meghan copying someone else's style. Now that l do find bizarre.
I read “Lady in Waiting” and there was a lot about PM in there, too, especially about her times on MustiqueIs this the right thread to discuss Princess Margaret?
I've just finished reading Ma'am Darling, which was a sort-of biography of her (it's amazing, written by the diary editor of Tatler) and... what a life.
So much to unpack. So many rumours, so much scandal. The men, the gin and the cigarettes. Scalding both her feet while getting into the bath on Mustique. Where do you even start?

I think this is likelyThe cynic in me thinks that Harry and Meghan have been thrown to the lions in order to protect Andrew. It makes me so angry that they are getting so much abuse from the press when he’s getting away scot free, why isn’t Piers Morgan asking why Andrew has been extradited to the USA instead of slating H&M?
Emma, Marchioness of Bath now. Her father is a Nigerian chief and oil billionaire. Her father in law boycotted her wedding to the then Viscount Weymouth after feuding with his son who made changes to murals his father had painted at Longleat - with all his 'wifelets' pictured I believe... His mother was banned by her son because of her racist remarks.Who was the aristo who went on Strictly? I think she was a marquess? Her mother in law didn't attend their wedding because her son was 'polluting the bloodline'.
It was like that, I think I just bought into the romanticism of it all, it was very me, I'd have worn it.Eugenie's dress reminds me of Sleeping Beauty, it's a bit too traditional for me.
For the life of me l can't figure out how a grown woman who is able bodied scalds her feet in the bath
Meghan isn’t the first mixed race member of the Royal Household as Lady Davina Windsor married Gary Lewis who is half Māori. Their children, Senna Kowhai and Tāne Mahuta, are in the line of succession. But I guess she’s the first one who is higher up? I don’t know, seems poor reporting that they say she’s the first mixed race person when she isn’t.Has there been any other mixed race/black members of the royal family in recent times? Such as partners or anything
From what I remember (I find Princess M quite interesting so I’ve read a bit about her but she would have been a nightmare to know!) she went in the shower/bath to wash her hair but she accidentally turned the heat up full whack which meant boiling water from the bath taps ended up directly on her feet. She was apparently too distressed to move until her personal detective broke down the door after one of her staff raised the alarm. I think they saw steam coming from under the door?!Scalding both her feet while getting into the bath on Mustique. Where do you even start?
I’m not a mad fan of Kate’s dress. I like the skirt but the top half with the sleeves doesn’t do it for me. Also it was very white and bright which again I’m not a fan of. Didn’t realise how similar it was to Isabella Orsini’s!Kate's dress was also a copy of Grace Kelly's and Isabella Orsini's.
Same! I like Kate's dress's bottom half (the skirt, the embroidery is great and the stuff at the back on her bum and the way the train is incorporated into the skirt), but the upper bit... The sleeves were imo too tight and the cone boobs were the worst thing, literally the first thing I saw with that dress.I’m not a mad fan of Kate’s dress. I like the skirt but the top half with the sleeves doesn’t do it for me. Also it was very white and bright which again I’m not a fan of. Didn’t realise how similar it was to Isabella Orsini’s!
Not British Royal Family but I think Queen Soraya of Iran had the most bougie wedding dress: 37 yards of silver lamé studded with pearls, 6,000 diamond pieces, and 20,000 marabou feathers - all combined it weighed a whopping 44 pounds! She wore a veil and mink jacket for the service and afterwards took off the jacket and wore emerald and diamond tiara, necklace, rings and bracelet.
Her life seems to have not been a fairytale though - the Shah divorced her a few years later because she hadn’t conceived. In a sad turn of events, when he later remarried and had a son he was exiled - so the son he needed so badly never got to rule Iran.
