Saw this story posted. No idea if it's true, but I hope it is. Very funny and cute funny and true story about the Queen: Around 2005, the Queen and her Personal Protection Officer, Dick Griffin, were walking alone one afternoon in the hills near the Scottish royal castle, Balmoral. Two tourists approached them, and engaged in conversation. Griffin recalls: "There were two hikers coming towards us, and the Queen would always stop and say hello. Follow Royal Family Page "They were two Americans on a walking holiday. "It was clear from the moment we stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen, which was fine. "The American gentleman was telling the Queen where they came from, where they were going next, and where they'd been in Britain. "I could see it coming, and sure enough, he said to Her Majesty: 'And where do you live?' "She replied: 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills.' "He said: 'How long have you been coming up here?' "She replied: 'I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so over 80 years.' "You could see the cogs whirring, so he said: 'Well, if you've been coming up here for over 80 years, you must have met the Queen.' "Quick as a flash, she said: 'I haven't, but Dick here meets her regularly.' The hiker then asked Griffin what the monarch was like in person. "Because I was with her a long time, and I knew I could pull her leg, I said: 'Oh, she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour.' The next thing I knew, this guy comes round, puts his arm around my shoulder, and before I could see what was happening, he gets his camera, GIVES IT TO THE QUEEN, and says: 'Can you take a picture of the two of us?' "Then we swapped places, and I TOOK A PICTURE OF THEM WITH THE QUEEN. "And we never let on, and we waved goodbye. "Afterwards, Her Majesty said to me: 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to his friends in America, and hopefully someone tells him who I am'." Rest in Peace Your Majesty

Or the spider's cameo

They are saying most watched event in TV history. Over a billion people watched.

I only caught about the last 45 mins, but wow. Very moving.

Fairly certain the woodland creatures help her clean and maintain that property - looks like a dream!

Why Charles and Camilla keep separate homes — and their own bedrooms https://pagesix.com/2022/09/16/why-charles-and-camilla-keep-separate-homes-and-bedrooms/ Wow!! Would love to see more pics of this property!! 😍

Ok - been a crazy few weeks and finally got some time to check out the fashion Love Elle Fanning look a lot: I like Z went traditional and classic, even if not the most creative. Not usually a fan of tulle, but loved it on Amanda's dress. Gave it that little extra it needed. And great color on her. Sheryl Lee Ralph - did not like the dress, but loved the crystals in her hair. That must have been a lot of work to do! Some good shots here of attendees and fashion: https://www.cnn.com/style/article/2022-emmys-red-carpet/index.html

Haven't had too much time to check it out, but I did like Reese's dress and jewelry.

Few random BI's coming from EL, so ... Blind Item #11 With the death of the monarch, I hope it brings forth the pictures that exist of her smoking cigarettes. The quietest of habits that she enjoyed after every meal. Blind Item #7 Speaking of the alliterate one, her husband could have made it in time, but the hours long fight between the pair kept him from being there. I wonder if this will cause him to rethink that biography. Blind Item #9 Talk about selling secrets, this royal will be doing that shortly once he gets cut off. Blind Item #7 Apparently the alliterate one was prepared and has a podcast episode all about what the death of the Queen means.

Yes, surprised how bummed I am too at her death. Crazy to think about all the things she took part in during her lifetime. Lots of the press are making a big deal about Meghan not going to Scotland, ugh. Will be interesting to see if this death brings them all closer, or just divides them more. Must suck to have your grandmother die and the entire world watching. Every time I see King Charles III I'm going to think "dog name"

Liked this chart I found online.

Queen Elizabeth II has died, Buckingham Palace announces https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-61585886 In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. "The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow." All the Queen's children travelled to Balmoral, near Aberdeen, after doctors placed the Queen under medical supervision. Her grandson, Prince William, is also there, with his brother, Prince Harry, on his way.

Entertainment Lawyer Blind Item #11 The significant other of this A+/A list singer who has been in the news as of late for things that happened in the past, is being troublesome. He desperately wants her pregnant so he can assure his financial future. He owes a lot of people a lot of money.

Blind Item #5 Entertainment Lawyer Apparently when a honeymoon destination was determined by the A list everything in her mind celebrity, her actor/director husband mentioned they were already in Europe so why on earth would they leave there, fly all the way back home just to turn around and come back. He was told, Italy is different than Paris and that Paris was work. What work he asked? Going to fashion shows is work for me was the answer. Good luck to the happy couple.
