Not about Monaco so not "eurotrash", but non-British royalty. Well, and BR question. So tomorrow is the big dinner for Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway's 18th birthday. Much looking forward to what tiara she wears (tradition of giving princesses tiaras when they turn 18, I adore royal jewelry blogs, my pandemic addiction) So the palace in Norway has released the guest list (some on twitter had been following based on everyone's individualy announced schedules ahead of that as well). She has godparents among many royal families, the Scandinavian country monarchies are quite closely related as well, looks to be a big turnout - and there happen to be quite a few princesses in that age range, so we're hoping to see MANY newly "tiarad" young women. But no British royalty attending. This would have been IDEAL for Ed & Sophie AND THEIR KIDS. They do all the royal weddings & social engagements with the other european royals already, they have an 18 year old daughter! Who is, technically, as granddaughter of the monarch, a PRINCESS. No matter she doesn't use the title and her parents didn't want it. So why aren't they going? Not invited? Not their priority (I notice they're off soon on a "work" trip to Cyprus but surely this could have been fit into the schedule). Seeing how many European royals go to each other's events, WHY aren't the Brits ever there????

I don't want to laugh, but honestly? Too much!! (they talked about it on the today show)

I thought most dispute the "boo" - I didn't hear it for H&M. On entrance to church, it was for Boris Johnson who went in just prior. On exit, only a couple people in the crowds trying to get it going and the rest confused by that. I honestly don't think the majority of the crowd would boo them. But they are being fed a pretty constant stream of crap from the tabloids. Much as I recognize the clear bias on the celebitchy site, I agree about the untamed vitriol that keeps coming out about team sussex.

No one knows. Until we do 😉 It'll come out at Christmas (Queen and all the great-grands is my guess) Or her funeral 😞

Ok, so it is one of each and they were sitting in between Zara and Phillip I guess. I always get them confused. And I didn't read the caption at all. 😁But I still get Bea and Eugenie confused too. I know which woman is married to which man, but I have total inability to recall which is which. Anywho - new baby Lili official photo released!!! https://people.com/royals/meghan-markle-prince-harry-lilibet-birthday-photo/?amp=true

The Tindalls love ABBA! (these are the TIndall girls, right? Not Philips?) I don't usually like Mike Tindall but making the baby dance to ABBA is adorable

I just recorded a couple of things on tv here, watched youtube videos of a couple things (esp after reading bitchy comments elsewhere, had to go back and watch the balcony at the Trooping to see Kate "refuse" to move from next to the Queen, then the balcony after the pageant when William refused to move next to the queen and Kate - with Louis- had to squeeze behind him. Charles had similarly blocked Camilla (tight passage, with the columns) but he moved out of the way, ushered Camilla into place, then moved back himself.) There were rumors they wanted a photo where Kate could be photoshopped out 😶

Watching ABC version of concert - I think it's cute! I love to see Prince George singing along with Rod Stewart (inexplicably singing Neil Diamond? Why?) Prince William and Kate were shown singing along too.

This photo is TOO much. Captioned like it's a football match 😂 I do think the kids were amazing considering how stressful (good and bad) the past few days have been. These kids don't get a ton of exposure like this (some other royal kids have been out more frequently). I think it was good and bad - it was fun to see the kids, kids WILL do and say the darndest things and the videos & photos are great because of that. But yeah, I feel for them. I agree I love to see the relationships of all the cousins and (2nd? onec removed?) cousins. It's nice they're of similar ages to get along and enjoy each others' company - 2 generations. Edward & Sophie's kids in an akward in between ages - I hope they aren't always stuck as babysitters but get to have fun on their own. Just not sure which group they'd get to hang with? (I was a weird kid - mostly an only child and not near cousins, most who were a LOT younger - I hung out with my parents' friends a lot, but then I got along better with adults than kids)

If I find the video elsewhere I'll post, but Omid Scobie posted a video on Twitter of Louis being a little brat (a cute brat!) with Kate at the pageant today. https://twitter.com/scobie/status/1533503196408303616?t=2FD9V9k_sntaGeBycHVAoQ&s=19

Wasn't sure where to put this. Watching Roland Garros men's final today, paused when the camera picked up King Felipe and Crown Prince Haakon. Yum. Damn, I cannot upload my photo. Thought I could on my phone, though I can't on my laptop, haven't been able to in months 😞

I am in love with Duchess of Gloucester's pearls from today. MONSTERS, she's always stunning and her jewelry rocks. I've read Celebitchy but they remain too mean for me, the comments at least. The blog Court Jeweler - my pandemic addiction - has been a happy space to discuss all the jewelry, and a little bit of the clothing. There's a royal hat blog too I like!

Andrew faking COVID so he thinks it doesn't look as bad as being forbidden to attend? That part is true 😆

I feel this is BS the british tabloids have been moaning on about for weeks. I doubt completely they ever thought to film for netflix there. You can't just film and air shit, you need people to sign releases. Please. So no, I don't believe either of these biased "blinds".

I've probably said it before, but when the Irish Guards are there, Seamus the Irish Wolfhound (regimental mascot) will ALWAYS be my favorite!!! https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/trooping-colour-dubbed-fanciest-dog-27129738
