I really like that Frederick Windsor and Peter Phillips were there for this. I just think it's cool

ok, but tell me how Laura Lopes (née Parker-Bowles) is so fiiiiiine

she clearly took the best from both parents

also i’ve seen a comment that was like “it’s astonishing that Camilla’s daughter looks so much like Diana”. hmmmm, not so wrong though

I'm going to say something controversial - It would be great to see Camilla's kids either at Christmas or Easter.

Harry and Prince William's wedding guest list differences are very telling by u/AdelaideSadieStark

Harry and Prince William's wedding guest list differences are very telling TLDR; William has closer connections with his family, not just first cousins or family who you're 'expected to invite' but also his mother's maternal side of the family and the Queen Mother's side of the family, he's also got a large social circle from his time at Uni and during the time him and Catherine were dating. He seemed to get along with people from Catherine's world. Harry on the other hand invited family you're expected to invite, like immediate aunts and uncles, first cousins. He also seems to aristocracy. I don't know if it's because he's a snob or the aristocracy were the only people who tolerated him. (guest list at the bottom) All of the Queen and Princess Margaret's decedents are invited, as expected.William invited more distant cousins he invited the Queen's cousins, his father's second cousins and in some cases his third cousins. Harry on the other hand invited a handful of his grandmother's cousins. Since they're working royals i guess the Queen invited them.From the Spencer side, Harry only invited his aunts and uncles and first cousins. William along with his aunts and first cousins, also invited Lady Anne Wake-Walker (nee Spencer), his great-aunt (Diana's aunt). Lady Anne's daughter and son-in-law Elizabeth Wake-Walker and Anthony Wake-Walker. He also invited his second cousin, Davina Duckworth-Chad and her husband Tom Barber.Harry had one member from the Bowes-Lyon family, one from the Mountbatten family, and from the Parker Bowles family he invited his two step-siblings and one of Tom and Laura's cousins. He also invited Catherine's immediate family. Meghan only had her mother at the wedding. William also invited the Roche family (Diana's maternal side of the family), Camilla's ex, Tom and Laura, Camilla's sister's family, and Camilla's bather's family as well as three members from the Bowes-Lyon family. Catherine had 22 members of her family, some of her second cousins were also there.In terms of friends, most of Harry's friends were friends from childhood or younger siblings of people who William was friends with (ex; Emilie van Cutsem, widow of the groom's father's friend, Hugh van Cutsem and Tom Inskip (friend of the groom from Eton College; son of Owen Inskip, a friend of the groom's father)). It honestly doesn't seem like Harry has a lot of friends who he made himself. Compare that to William and Catherine's wedding where they have friends from Uni, someone who worked at the grocery store they frequented, the Middleton family's butchers, neighbour of the couple's while at university, in some cases his friends parents were also invited.William's wedding also had a load foreign royals compared to Harry who only had Prince Seeiso of Lesotho and his wife, and The Hereditary Prince and Princess of Oettingen-Spielberg who aren't 'technically' royalty. But that's more to do with their positions in the line of succession than anything personal.https://ift.tt/3YfPEjw post link: https://ift.tt/mA6GuX4 author: AdelaideSadieStark submitted: September 12, 2024 at 01:53PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

Hi RT, more examples of UK's 2000s creative fascinator/ hat craze on royal/ royal adjacent ladies ( FYI. No need to post if you don't want to as this Is just a fun send for your amusement)

Also, once I googled royal hats from longer period of 2000 - 2012 period, I was surprised at how many 'crazy' hats popped up.

Chapter 17

Garter Day 1990

Windsor Castle

"Mummy, Mummy, can we please get some ice cream???", twelve-year-old Laura begged her mum, looking at her with puppy eyes. They were at Windsor Castle today, to watch the Garter Day procession, which both Charles and Andrew were going to participate in: Charles of course as one of the Royal Knights, and Andrew as Her Majesty The Queen's Silver Stick in Waiting. As usual, she hadn't been too happy about the prospect of this gathering, especially as not only the two fathers of her younger daughter were in attendance but more or less Charles, hence Thea's, too, entire family: his parents, his siblings, his grandmother, not to speak of his wife… but both men and especially Laura had been begging her so desperately that she'd finally given in. Hopefully nothing she was going to regret later… "Yes, of course, darling, there you go.", she said, handing a bit of money to Laura, who beamed like a Cheshire cat, gently took her little sister by her hand and ran off to the ice cream truck up by the middle wards. She had long considered whether it was wise to come today but it was Andrew's last time as Silver Stick in Waiting to Her Majesty The Queen; he had once more been promoted and would be taking on other responsibilities from next months and Laura and Thea had been begging her to go and see Daddy taking part in the procession so she had finally agreed. Andrew, too, was happy to have both his girls by his side on this very special day: thank goodness, he really loved Thea and she adored him. Charles had also painfully learnt to keep his distance, he had had to. He was still in their lives and they tried to see each other as often as possible but for Thea he was just Sir (whom she loved dearly, but different to how she loved Andrew) and the they were very careful never to give anything away in front of their little angel. When Thea was present, they were just friends. It wasn't even a lie because they really were friends, best friends even, but also deeply in love… but that was just between the two of them. "Do you want chocolate or vanilla?", Laura asked her little sister once they had lined up in the queue at the ice cream truck, but something else had caught little Theodora's attention and before Laura was able to realise it, the little girl had loosened herself from her hand and ran up the hill to the upper words. "Thea!!! Wait!!!", she screamed in panic, following her as fast as possible.

"Hello there, young lady!", a familiar voice said and little Theodora smiled as she recognised Michael, Sir's Protection Officer whom she had met several times. "What are you doing here all alone? Where's Mummy?", the man asked, bending down and taking her in his arms. His Royal Highness had never actually told him but, to him, just as to some other members of his closest and loyal staff, it was quite clear that "little Miss PB", as they referred to her, could only be the Prince's child so they all made sure to keep an eye on her and having an almost three-year-old running around alone on the grounds of Windsor Castle on Garter Day wasn't something he could ignore. Everyone in his closest circle knew how much of his rare freetime he spent with "his best friend" Mrs Parker Bowles and all of them had a feeling that this was definitely more than friendship though none of them would ever mention something, and the way he looked at the little girl, the way his whole face brightened up whenever he saw her, the way he cuddled and played with her, said it all and, somehow, they all felt sympathy for this little family that wasn't allowed to be one so, deliberately or not, they all tried to help and support as best and decently as possible. "Mummy down there!", Theodora told him, pointing to the area near St George's Chapel. "Laura - ice cream!" "Laura and you wanted to get some ice cream?", he asked, and the little girl nodded. "Where is Laura?", he went on, quickly screening the venue for "Miss Laura" and, indeed, spotted her a few metres away, obviously looking for her little sister in panic. "Miss Laura!", he called for her and the twelve-year-old looked at him, sighing in relief when she realised that he had found her little sister. "Hello Michael!", she greeted him, slightly out of breath after her involuntary run up the hill. "Thank goodness, there you are!", she exclaimed, hugging her little sister tightly, before her voice became a bit more stern and she admonished her: "Don't ever run away from me again! That's dangerous! You could have gotten lost! What should I've told Mummy?" Theodora, apparently rather shocked at her sister's strong tone, immediately started to cry. "Ohhh don't you cry, little Miss.", Michael comforted her, pulling a funny face in order to make her laugh but it didn't seem to work. "Alright, m'lady, what could we do to cheer you up again?", he asked and Theodora replied immediately: "Sir! Sir, Sir, Sir!" "Would you like to say hello to Sir?", Michael asked, also looking at Laura who nodded almost equally excited as Theodora. "Alright, then let's go and see if we can find him!", he said, prompting Laura to follow him. They walked past a few corners, up and down several stairs and finally found themselves in a huge corridor inside the Castle. “Wait here, I’ll go and see whether I can find His Royal Highness!”, Michael promised, turned around, and disappeared.

A few minutes had passed, when they heard heels clattering on the floor in the corridor next to them. “Oh Thea, that might be the Princess!”, Laura whispered to her little sister excitedly, and just a few seconds later, indeed, Diana, followed by a bunch of servants, appeared right in front of them. “Your Royal Highness!”, Laura greeted her starstruck, performing a deep curtesy, but the Princess didn’t reply but instead gave them a look that almost froze the blood in their veins. “What are these brats doing here?”, she asked disgustedly. Instinctively, Laura pressed Theodoras hand tighter and protectively stood before her little sister. “Who let his bastard in here? Get them out of my way, immediately!”, Diana hissed at her servants, derogatorily waving her hand, as if the two girls were some sort of vermin. Laura gulped heavily. She had always admired the Princess but that behaviour really wasn’t princessly at all. “Come, Thea, we’re going.”, she said and this time ,thank goodness, Thea followed her without asking or complaining further.

“Bastard.”, Thea repeated what the Princess had said, once they had made their way out of the castle and Laura gave her an admonishing glance. “Sush! That’s a very mean word, Thea, we’re not saying this.”, she explained to her little sister, but Thea was curious now. “What - mean?”, she asked and Laura sighed. She wasn’t entirely sure about it, of course she had heard it here and there and knew that it was a swear word, but she didn’t know the real meaning herself. “That doesn’t matter, little one.”, she said. “Just don’t ever say that. It’s a very nasty word that a Princess should not use.”

“Oh there you are, my darlings!”, Camilla sighed in relief when she finally saw her daughters coming down the hill again, rushed over to them and hugged them tightly. “Where have you been so long?”, she asked, concernedly looking from one to the other. "Michael!", Theodora explained excitedly, adding: "Castle!", which caused her mother to frown her forehead. "You met Michael?", she asked and Laura nodded. "Castle!", Thea repeated and Camilla looked at her in confusion. "You're saying you've been inside the Castle?" "Yes, Michael took us.", Laura said. "He wanted to try and find Sir so that we could say hello but… he couldn't find him." She didn't even know why but for some reason she had a feeling that it was best not to tell her mother about the other incident so she kept quiet about it.

When the procession began with all pomp and circumstances, Camilla and her daughters happily waved at everyone to everyone they knew, Anne, Charles, the Queen Mother, and of course Andrew. "Daddy, Daddy!", Thea cheered excitedly, when Andrew walked past them. Of course, being as professional as he was, he didn't wave back but cheekily winked at her. Anne gave them a heartfelt smile, as did The Queen, and Charles and the QueenMother, who walked side-by-side, joyfully waved at them which made little Thea beaming with happiness. "Sir, Sir, Sir!", she exclaimed and Charles' face lit up in delight immediately. As sweet and heartwarming their moment undoubtedly was, as relieved was Camilla that nobody had noticed the emotions between them, as this sort of glances and smiles was definitely more intimate and deeper than those which "normal" friends exchanged and she was still afraid that, some day, it was all going to collapse like a house of cards…
