Fantasy Guide to Royal and Noble Jewellery

Royal and Noble jewellery is a staple of their life, a statement of the who is person is, their rank and their wealth. Jewellery simply isn't a accessory, it's an exercise in showmanship and a way to link to a past.

(Disclaimer: Many stones in pieces often have a bloody past, usually stolen or worked from the earth under the reign of Colonialism. It is best to always take this into account when admiring real world pieces)

Providence

Jewellery like this is usually inherited buy can also be bought or even given as a gift. There is three kinds of jewellery in this instance: private, owned by the crown or owned by the state.

Private jewellery is owned by a single person and worn or lent at their own descretion. Private jewellery can be no less grand than state owned jewellery. This jewellery can be inherited by anybody the owner chooses.

State jewellery is not privately owned, it belongs to the country itself. It is not inherited but used by royal family. If a royal family is deposed, the jewellery remains with the state. Such as the French Crown Jewels.

Owned by the Crown means that it can only pass monarch to monarch, worn only by consorts or the monarch and lent to anybody they choose.

Noble jewellery is not quite the same. Much of it is owned privately but there may be one or two pieces designated as official jewellery for the title such as a specific tiara.

The Rules

Jewellery like this are not just trinkets to be borrowed by anybody. Usually the monarch (or titled noble) or sometimes the spouse, is in charge of designating who can be lent which pieces and for what occasion. Even if you are a super close member of the family, you still have to take what's on offer. Sometimes certain jewellery is worn exclusively by a certain rank say the Queen or the noble themselves and would not be offered to anybody else. For example, you will note that into today's royalty you will see certain royals repeating the same tiaras such as Kate Middleton who has only worn the Cambridge Lover's Knot, the Strathmore Rose Tiara, the Lotus Tiara and once, the Cartier Halo Tiara. These would be the tiaras available to them, which usually number only a handful. Certain pieces are designated by for the monarch/Consort as well, the Vladimir Tiara & the Girls of Britain and Ireland Tiara only graced the head of the Queen in her reign. Other pieces such as earrings or bracelets would also be distributed accordingly, more elaborate and expensive pieces would be worn by the higher ranking members. Certain collections are meant to be passed on, such as the Consort's jewels but many Dowager refused to pass on their jewels such as Empress Dowager Maria Feodorovna after the death of Tsar Alexander III.

Treasure Trove

Now, just because a family has a throne or a grand title doesn't mean they have caches of jewels. Many noble families sold off their pieces to pay death duties, most only have a few pieces left today. As for tiaras most noble families would not have access to large quantities, usually only affording one or two. The Spencers for example own two, the Spencer Tiara and the Spencer Honeysuckle Tiara. This is an inaccurate protrayal in Downton Abbey, as the family have at least 6 but then again Cora is a Dollar Princess so it could be possible to own as many but it never made sense considering just how many times they almost loose the estate and never sell any off. Royal families are not exempt from this either, some families have vast stores of jewels such as the British Royal Family (I wonder where those all came from...) while the Greek Monarchy (discontinued) has only a few pieces. The Romanov collection is of course legendary and we may never know it's full extent.

Kate is not your drama queen Her self-possession drives people wild - Jenny McCartney UnHerd.

Just over a decade ago, the late novelist Hilary Mantel delivered a lecture to an event at the London Review of Books and triggered national outrage. In the course of a talk on “Royal Bodies”, which ranged widely across royal women from Anne Boleyn to Marie Antoinette and Princess Diana, she had made what many perceived as disparaging remarks about Kate Middleton, then the Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess, she said, appeared to have been “designed by a committee and built by craftsmen, with a perfect plastic smile and the spindles of her limbs hand-turned and gloss-varnished”. Indeed, Mantel said, Kate “seems to have been selected for her role of princess because she was irreproachable: as painfully thin as anyone could wish, without quirks, without oddities, without the risk of the emergence of character”.

At this, the newspapers were soon in uproar. The prime minister David Cameron called the comments “completely misguided and completely wrong” and the Labour leader Ed Miliband agreed they were “pretty offensive”. Mantel doggedly refused to back down, saying that her remarks had been twisted out of context, and that she was in fact writing with sympathy about the perceptions that are forcefully projected on to royal women, the cage in which they are held to be goggled at. That was true, but also perhaps not the entire truth, for there was still a perceptible trace of authorial vinegar in the portrait: which of us would be happy to learn, even in sympathy, that we were held at low risk for “the emergence of character”?

Royals are public as well as private figures, of course, and authors are free to hang intellectual ideas on them to try out, as designers do with clothes. Yet while much of the lecture was sharply perceptive, I didn’t agree with the portrait of Kate. That word “selected” had rendered her passive, when in fact her behaviour thus far had suggested both an active intelligence and an unusual degree of self-discipline. The context of her entry into “The Firm” was different from that of other royal brides. Unlike Diana, who had barely emerged from the fractured chrysalis of her troubled aristocratic family when she first met the much older, more worldly Prince Charles, Kate was a contemporary of Prince William’s at the University of St Andrews. Her family background, which appeared warm and supportive, was comfortably middle-class. She seemed generally cheerful and unruffled, even when the press was at the barbed peak of its “Waity Katie” hysteria, trying to goad Prince William into a proposal or abandonment.

After the wedding, in her approach to royal duties, she clearly took the role she had inherited with marriage seriously. The royal whose attitude her own most resembled was the late Queen Elizabeth II, who had long understood the essential nature of the job: to turn up to public events looking the part, intuit precisely what was needed — gravitas, fun, consolation or reassurance — and deliver it while keeping one’s personal emotions on the back burner. This is what a monarchy demands, and the ability to act as an impeccable interpreter of the public mood, year after year, is a particular and testing art. A few have a natural aptitude for it, but most of us do not, and would quickly find its scrutiny and restrictions intolerable.

Grace under consistent pressure is an admirable quality. Were a ballet dancer to execute a string of flawless performances, or a pilot to conduct numerous flights without incident, it would not be deemed evidence of an absence of character: quite the opposite. Yet in Kate — especially for those who increasingly conduct their lives online — serene self-possession seems to drive a proportion of onlookers insane: what lurks behind it, what dark secret is waiting to destroy it, how best might it be disrupted? The uncomfortable truth is that what many people deeply crave in a young and beautiful royal wife and mother is not competence, but crack-up

The increasingly bizarre treatment of Kate, or the idea of Kate, is connected to the most dominant phenomenon of our age: a cultural prioritising of drama over duty. The supply of drama has spilled beyond the confines of the novel, theatre, cinema or television to become a commodity on which our public figures are judged. When Mantel spoke of Kate’s apparent absence of emerging “character” she was assessing her primarily through the hungry eyes of a novelist. In books, central female characters often generate dramatic tension by chafing against their circumstances, by the intensifying dazzle of their discontents, something that Kate refused to transmit. In contrast, Mantel described Diana as a “carrier of myth”: Diana, publicly trapped in the disappointments of her marriage, certainly carried more plot twists than any author had a right to expect. Unfortunately for her, the final one was her shockingly premature death.

Set against this artistic conception of “character” — distinctive qualities or flaws that, one way or another, deliver drama — is the societal judgement “of good character”, meaning someone who is broadly reliable and respected in relation to their behaviour to others. In recent years the electorate, in line with Neil Postman’s warning in his 1985 book, Amusing Ourselves To Death, has proved increasingly ready to select the former over the latter, even to the marked detriment of our civic health. The former prime minister Boris Johnson instinctively understood it as his job not to deliver the detail of workable policy, but to satisfy the public’s appetite for story: “People live by narrative,” he once told UnHerd’sTom McTague. In the US, Donald Trump — that relentless generator of low mockery and high fury — is now running for a second term as president, after his first one ended in his supporters storming the Capitol building.

Men are often permitted to survive the frantic generation of drama: it is everyone around them who suffers. Yet women — in art and life — have a greater tendency to be destroyed by it. There is no strutting female equivalent of the male “hellraiser”, but rather a woman who, soaked in the crocodile tears of the tabloids, is tragically “causing concern” among friends. Art and its audiences have always relished the restless struggle and disintegration of female characters who are, or become, unmoored from the harbour of marriage and children. Flaubert’s Emma Bovary — her imagination inflamed by reading novels — is bored with her marriage and disenchanted with motherhood; she seeks solace in affairs and excessive spending, the consequences of which hasten her suicide. Zola’s Nana, a courtesan who ruthlessly captivates Parisian society, has her beguiling face eaten away by smallpox. Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse, immolated on their blazing talent, are hung posthumously high in the musical hall of fame, next to Sylvia Plath in the poetry section and Marilyn Monroe in cinema.

In Jean Rhys’s Good Morning, Midnight,a middle-aged English woman called Sasha Jansen, mourning an unhappy marriage and a dead child, finds herself in Paris, a vulnerable drifter seeking solace from stray men. Rhys herself, who died at 88 after a precarious but surprisingly long life, had much in common with her literary creations. As the writer and editor Diana Athill crisply put it: “Jean was absolutely incapable of living, life was just hopelessly beyond her. When she was young, she floated from man to man in a hopeless way… by the time she was old, she floated from kind woman to kind woman.”

In Rhys’s latter years — hard-drinking, irascible and impoverished — Athill and a small group of female friends formed what they called “The Jean Rhys Committee” which met regularly to ask “what should we do next?”. Rhys’s claim to such loyalty, I suppose, was the weight of her literary talent, her ability to exert an odd kind of fascination, and the fortunate soft-heartedness of her friends. The dramatic collided with the dutiful, and was kept alive by it.

From what I can see, the Princess of Wales exists at the opposite end of the feminine spectrum from Jean Rhys. Pinned firmly in place by her royal obligations, her wealth, her marriage and three children, she belongs to the realm of the respectable and dutiful rather than the erratic and dramatic. She is not a “character” in the artistic sense, nor does she desire to be, but both a survivor and upholder of an institution: hers is the territory of the prompt thank-you note, the kept promise, the commitment to public service, the uncomplicated pleasure in children, the stoic endurance of difficult times in the hope that better ones will come along soon. The public senses an emotional solidity in her, and it is partly why she is held in broad esteem. In this age of insistent self-definition, duty to others might be an unfashionable concept, but it is nonetheless one that keeps families and institutions from chaos and collapse.

With the advent of the internet, however, anyone with a keyboard can become a form of author, with the freedom to insert a toxic form of drama into real-life situations. What was extraordinary, during the Princess of Wales’s recent health problems, is how speedily and carelessly such speculations overrode the bounds of decency. It was already known that she had undergone major abdominal surgery, and was taking time to recover. And yet — egged on by the participation of silly celebrities and malicious US comedians — conspiracy theories about cosmetic surgery and affairs and nervous breakdowns spread like knotweed. According to social-media researchers, these were also vigorously introduced and amplified by fake accounts set up on Twitter and TikTok, some associated with Russia-linked disinformation eager to spread the termites of mistrust and doubt in Western institutions. Only the Princess of Wales’s revelation of cancer, which carries a testing drama all its own, served to shut up the majority of them.

Unlike these callous gossips, Mantel recognised her own complicity in dehumanising royalty. Upon encountering the late Queen, the novelist said: “I passed my eyes over her as a cannibal views his dinner, my gaze sharp enough to pick the meat off her bones.” The Queen looked back at her, she said, briefly hurt. Mantel warned of the way in which “cheerful curiosity can easily become cruelty” precisely as it has done in recent weeks. Her talk concluded with a prescient instruction for those who comprehend monarchy mainly as a source of entertainment: “I’m asking us to back off and not be brutes.”

In the midst of treatment and recovery, the most hitherto stable of royal women could be forgiven a keen sense of injustice: her job description, it seems, must now include the ability to weather the online public’s fits of brutish mania for drama. With its contempt for duty, and its savage appetite for story, it is hungry to chew up far more than just the Princess of Wales.

From one CHAMPION to another CHAMPION: Novak Djokovic's lovely statement about the Princess of Wales:

"It's wonderful to have that kind of support from the royal family."

After a brutal loss, The Daily Express (of course 🙄) came to Novak's press conference just to gather information about Catherine. Nole, being All Around Amazing, handled the question like a true Champion:

Q: What did it mean to have the Princess of Wales here today because obviously it was the first time we've seen her in Wimbledon given she's got this health battle and I just wondered what you said to her and what she said to you because obviously you've spoken so many times in the past...

AAA Novak: Yes it was of course a privilege to be in her presence again and I said to her that it is very nice to see her in good health. She seems to be in good health so that's obviously very positive news for everyone in this country, but also for Wimbledon--- for championships---- to have Her Royal Highness here of course with her family members. It's amazing. It's incredible support that they've been giving over the years to this tournament and I know that she and her sister (PIPPA 🎾) have played tennis for a very long time and so they TRULY respect and admire the game, and they also understand tennis which is great to have. It's wonderful to have that kind of support from the royal family.

The King and I

Chapter Five: Royal Gathering at Balmoral

Featuring King Charles III and Prince Andrew, Duke of York

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have come to Balmoral Castle for their first summer holiday in Scotland since the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The estate has long been established as the private summer home of the Royal Family that includes grouse moors, forestry and farmland and is home to a large population of red deer. The king and queen will not be alone in his retreat; Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children will visit, as will King Charles's siblings Prince Edward and Princess Anne and their respective spouses. I also managed to get Charles's brother Prince Andrew, Fergie and his daughters to stay at Balmoral with the King and Queen, creating an environment that could potentially foster familial healing.

That day began with Charles inspecting troops from Balaklava Company, 5th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. He wore a kilt and a traditional Scottish outfit to inspect the Balaklava Company. My eyes were on the back of his strong hairy legs as I followed him throughout the entire visit. Locking on to one of His Majesty's best features always made me horny and I wanted to take him to the nearest room and start him up, but this time the waiter interrupted and asked what we would like.

Back at Balmoral Castle, I notice Andrew and his daughters had arrived as I watched with a little more than curiosity. Charles was speaking with one of the servants as I admired Andrew. Just then, the 63-year-old prince turned and saw me starring. He winked and smiled a warm friendly, knowing smile. I pretended not to notice. If I wasn't with His Majesty, I would have made a move on him. Once again he looked in my direction and winked. I was thinking what a cute little flirt he was.

Once in the sitting room and the servant excused himself, I again returned my gaze to Charles. Having him in our own private room started my dirty mind up again. I stood opposite His Majesty glancing at the gorgeous king seated across from me. While this was going on he was talking about his meeting and the time he spent with his son. I could barely keep my mind on our conversation, as I was busy trying to sneak a peak at his inviting crotch.

By now I was hard and becoming uncomfortable trying to hide it. Something had to happen, I was either going to leave and find Andrew or bust out of my pants and fuck Charless brains out. Choosing the latter, I stepped closer to him and reached down, unzipping the fly of my pants. Then without a word, I exposed my throbbing 7" cut prick.

Just then, Charles looked at me with a raised eyebrow and asked me sternly. “I sense that you want to added to my work load. Am I correct in my assumption?”

I could tell from the look on his face, he was obviously going to suck me. Then, just as my dick was an inch or so from his mouth, His Majesty slid his tongue up the underside of my shaft and wrapped it around the head, sucking vigorously. Fuck! For a 73-yr. British royal with few male experiences, he sure could suck! He swallowed more and more of my cock, deeper into his hungry mouth. I was finding it hard to hold back as his hand grabbed my nuts in his swollen hand, squeezing them tight while his head bobbed up and down my cock. I began fucking his face furiously, I was going wild…

Charles seemed encouraged by me fucking his mouth, not the he needed encouraging, but he enjoyed it as his own dick sprang to attention underneath his kilt. Lifting it up, his throbbing cock was bouncing up and down and needed to be held. Suddenly he was sucking me and jacking himself off wildly.

"That's it Your Majesty. Suck me. Suck my cock." I said as I pumped my cock down Charles' throat.

The end came far too soon as Charles' skills coaxed my orgasm despite ny best efforts to delay it. I squirmed to let him know I was about to cum and he just shoved his head down farther on me as I began to erupt in his throat. He sucked every drop out of me and when we finished he leaned back, closing his eyes to finish himself off.

"Let me Your Majesty…" I said as I stop him from jerking off.

I knelt in front of him and began to put my mouth over his engorged tool as he moaned his approval. I know he didn't get many blowjobs, if any, from Camilla and my love of his perfect body was about to make him burst. I wanted him to cum with a roar. I pushed his legs farther apart and ran my hand through the hair on his creamy white thighs as sucked his royal cock. I cupped my tongue around the shaft of his cock in my mouth and began to move my head up and down the whole length of his throbbing missile. I could feel the head against the roof of my mouth as I continued to lick and suck and caress the pulsing shaft.

The wonderful aroma of his crotch and the beautiful silver pubic hair was really turning me on.

He was about to cum and he pulled my head off of him. Looking into my eyes, he wanted to see see if this is what I really wanted. No words were spoken as I went back down on him. He through his head back and enjoyed the sensation of me sucking him into oblivion. Arching his back, Charles almost roared and groaned as he fired off his beautiful canon. His cum shot deep down my throat as I tried to drain every drop from him. I savored the taste of him as I pulled off and looked up at him.

"Wonderful. Just wondeful…" was all he could say.

Minutes later, after satisfying Charles, I left his seating room to make my exit. Suddenly, someone grabbed me from behind and pulled into a nearby room. Realizing it was Andrew as he planted a kiss before spinning me around against the nearby wall.

"I've missed fucking your ass." He whispered as I suddenly felt his hand around my waist and his fingers fumbled with my belt. He unbuckled it and unzipped my slacks.

Then next thing I knew, he was pulling my jeans and shorts down until my ass was completely exposed. I wanted Andrew to fuck me. I wanted to feel his pussy-poking dick inside of me as I heard him spit in his hand to wet his cock. A moment later I moaned as I felt his slippery dick head pressing against my asshole. Then he grabbed my hips and shoved his dick inside me. I stiffened up from the searing pain of his brutal entry before he pulled his dick half way out of me and slammed it back inside my asshole.

I gasped for air, knowing I couldn't make any noise as the prince started fucking me hard and fast, pinning me to the wall with each thrust. Andrew pumped his royal rod into me over and over again as I moaned and grunted like a whore getting fucked. Damn this was good!

“You like it? You like my cock up your ass?” Andrew asked as he pumped his dick in and out of me harder and faster.

"Yes, fuck me. Make me yours Your Highness." I answered as I could feel his hot breath on the back of my neck.

I desperately wanted to turn my head and kiss him, reaching back and grabbing his head, pulling it towards my lips. I wondered if he could smell his brother's cum on my breath. I slid my tongue inside his mouth and our two tongues intertwined, I was lost in the passion of the kiss, wondering if he could taste his brother's cum. Wheither he did or not, Andrew started fucking me brutally, raping my hole as he clung to me. And like Charles earlier, Andrew shot off quickly. Too quickly for me as I was just getting excited and starting to enjoy it. “Get ready for it!”

Andrew’s warning was followed by him grabbing me by the shoulders and slammed his dick as deep inside of me as it would go followed by a load of cum. My ass made a sucking sound as his royal cum filled it to the rim. When his dick finally slipped out, the prince turned me around and kissed me passionately. Andrew quickly zipped up, then silently exited the room.

I could hardly walk, my asshole was throbbing painfully as I did a quick check up and down the corridor before heading out. Just as I was about to leave, Prince Edward and wife arrived. As they were entering, Edward saw me and me and paused. I wondered if he was reading my thoughts as he smiled, catching me again with those beautiful blue eyes. I wanted to grab him and stick my tongue down his throat.

"Steady, boy," I thought to myself as I left, "Two brothers in one day is enough."

Something very funny about Carole and Pippa dressing exactly like Kate idk

This is an older anon but I'm going to answer it now because this claim seems to have people on the defensive for some reason:

Is it a conspiracy to say that Carole and Pippa were paying homage to Kate with their outfits or is it literally just something the dumbest person could see with their own eyes? Not only is it the same colours but they are the same brands that Kate wears (mainly Catherine Walker Be serious, it's obviously a way for them to get the media to report on their relationship with Kate and it works. They are public figures doing stuff public figures do, it's not a bad thing at all unless you think doing things for attention is inherently bad. This is just Carole and Pippa's way of saying "We are supportive of Kate and admire her".

Carole literally buys the same clothes as Kate and then wears them in public for others to see and honestly, it's not even a malicious thing to do so pointing it out . . . clearly isn't a bad thing. It's not like the CopyKate thing were there's all this baggage and hostility connected, Kate is Carole's daughter.

Why are people so damn obtuse about the Middletons and Kate and the power of their fashion? Their MO is to signal support/allyship/messages with their clothes, but when people read the messages they are sending it's suddenly "looking to deep into it". No, it's not.

📌 First Ladies:

Akshata Murty - Multimillionaire heiress and wife of Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of the UK. On May 8th, 2024, Akshata attended Harry's Invictus Games 10th anniversary service at St Paul's Cathedral in London. Also in attendance: uncle Charles Spencer, auntie Lady Jane Fellowes, and other Spencer family members [source]

Hillary Clinton - In 2019, Hillary accepted Meghan's invitation to visit Frogmore Cottage where she met Meghan and 6-month old Archie. Following the Oprah interview, Hillary commented: "It just was heartbreaking that this incredibly accomplished woman Meghan Markle, who falls in love with Prince Harry, was not fully embraced by not just the so-called Firm, which is the name for the permanent bureaucracy that surrounds the royal family, but by the media in the UK." Hillary also participated in Meghan's 40x40 project [source 1 // source 2 // source 3]

Jill Biden - At an awards ceremony following the Oprah interview, Jill wore an Oscar de la Renta lemon dress pattern. It was similar to another Oscar de la Renta lemon pattern dress Meghan wore to a Spotify event the month before. Sewer Squadies claimed that Jill's dress was a subtle nod of support to H&M. Meghan even sent Jill a basket of lemons in thanks. After the funeral for the late Queen Elizabeth II, H&M reportedly asked to fly back to the US on Air Force One but they were denied [source 1 // source 2]

Michelle Obama - When Meghan guest-edited British Vogue's September 2019 issue, she lied about a "casual lunch of chicken tacos with Michelle Obama". In reality, it was an email interview. Following the explosive interview, Michelle thoughtfully responded: “My hope is that when I think about what they’re going through, I think about the importance of family, and I just pray that there is forgiveness and there is clarity and love and resolve at some point in time,” Michelle Obama said. “Because there’s nothing more important than family.” The Obamas are hold great respect and admiration for the late Queen Elizabeth II [source 1 // source 2]

Oluremi Tinubu - Following H&M's tour of Nigeria, First Lady Tinubu gave a speech in which she remarked: "We don't accept nakedness in our culture." Her comments were widely interpreted as a critique of the Meghan's clothing choices in Nigeria. Nearly a week later on May 30th, in an *alleged* email reply to AFP Fact Check reporter Tonye Bakare of Nigeria, the office of the First Lady *allegedly* clarified: "At no point did she say anything about Meghan's dressing." [source]. Was this the sinister work of Misan Harriman, Christopher Bouzy, and the Sussex Censorship Industrial Complex? Plausible deniability by First Lady Tinubu? Was First Lady Tinubu silent or was she... silenced?

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau - Former wife of Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada. Meghan's 'dear friend' Sophie participated in the 40x40 project and the Archetypes podcast. In May 2024, Sophie publicly distanced herself from Meghan: "I know her,” she says, before adding that they haven’t spent much time together, and telling me how terrible she feels for Kate Middleton after her cancer diagnosis (“my heart just sunk when I saw what was happening.”) [source]

Zita Oligui Nguema - First Lady of Gabon, photographed with H&M during their May 2024 visit to Nigeria [source]. Will First Lady Nguema invite H&M to visit Gabon for their next faux royal tour?

Oh goodness. Danielle Elser (journalist who writes for news.com.au) has written an article criticizing Catherine for not being at the whole service or whatever event followed the service. Very detailed article about why Kate should have been there because the RF has to work hard to make amends in light of recent events that put the RF in a bad light. She said this is more important than taking George to an oboe lesson. I really do hope she’s pregnant. What will she say then?

https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/royals/kate-middleton-going-missing-after-commonwealth-service-is-a-bad-look/news-story/d4673b319d2d898932244f8efb817a5d

Inside the Abbey, Kate managed not to yawn, fidget or check that eBay auction she has been watching, before greeting some small children on the way out. This was some textbook princess-ing if ever we’ve seen it.

And then … Poof! The lady vanishes.

After the service, King Charles, Camilla, Princess Anne, her husband Sir Tim Laurence, Prince William and the newly elevated Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh all trooped back to Buckingham Palace for the Commonwealth reception. Imagine a lot of high commissioners clutching glasses of orange juice waiting nervously to take their turn to make 30 seconds of small talk with the King about that one bit of the service where the organ really got going.

However, conspicuously absent from all the polite chitchat was Kate, despite a press release having previously said she would be attending.

With no official word about her no-show, the current theories are that her inclusion in the release was a mistake or that she left to pick up her three young HRHs from their Windsor school, Lambrook.

But … do we really buy either?

Firstly, does a well-oiled and experienced press machine like the Palace make admin mistakes? (Maybe cost-cutting measures have gotten such that courtiers have started letting work experience kids have a go on the Commodore 64 they use to crank out the official missives …)

Secondly, the Waleses have a nanny, aides, and probably more staff than a Fiji-bound P&O cruise ship, not to mention that her parents live nearby to their home, Adelaide Cottage. Someone else could clearly have picked up Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and their piles of maths homework. (‘Finnigan can only invite 12 friends along to his hunting weekend. If they will drink three bottles of Jägermeister each, how many buckets will his butler need to get in?’)

Sure, Kate’s desire to perpetually do the school run is admirable and all, but that does not change the fact that her priorities in this instance are really quite off.

And that's just from Australia.

Just wait until the UK tabs start going on this and the general low number of engagements.

Bi-sexual adulterer weds stalker he dumped for 10 years but ensures she gets the title his murdered mum once had.

By Stanley Collymore Mrs. Stepford wife and broodmare Kate Middleton looked relatively healthy when she first married into the Windsor Klan, now she looks like a stick figure and clearly dresses like an old woman as she effectively permanently, totally obviously ages awfully. And rather frankly anyone who thinks she's beautiful is either a typically deranged brownnosing sycophant or otherwise, distinctly desperately requires a significant course of crucial ophthalmology! Frankly, Kate Middleton is really undeniably clearly a discernibly rather noxiously toxic bore and an evilly white Karen trollop so likemindedly as William a very vilely, pathetic prat, who never once either supported or really actually wanted to, his brother Harry, or essentially made any comments whatever when his wife Meghan and likewise too Harry himself repeatedly had to endure endless, sick abuse, aptly proffered, by rightwing Nazi rags, like the Daily Mail! And similarly both financially and purposely instigated in briefings from Kensington as well as Buckingham Palace with absolutely the unquestionably full knowledge, authorization and too the furtive egregious cooperation of landed luckily elevated stalker Kate Middleton, odious hardcore quite breathtakingly, adulterous slapper, the evidently notorious Camilla Parker Bowles, actually nowt sensibly, but a thoroughly noxious post menopausal clear Karen relic, and effectively too to you brownnosers your dear Windsor monarchical consort, by another name. And clearly, adulterous William, evidently minus obviously any genuine courage, or also conscionable worth to effectively, basically emulate Philip Schofield and reveal, what he undoubtedly is: a surreptitiously, married bisexual, with a distinctively quite marked preference for what's his biological gender. Accounts for why there's no natural chemistry, between dull Willie and Waity Katie. None of these Windsors have ever achieved their exalted positions through effort, hard work or ability; as what they have was all handed to them on a platter; so why, should intelligent people, as apart from discernibly basically rank very intellectually challenged morons and likewise friends of theirs: distinctively so undeniable pillocks, clearly like Jeremy Clarkson, Piers Morgan, obviously the Dykes and Queer   Palace stooges; and irrefutably too, the well remunerated rags and media - like the Daily Mail along with their vile, brainless hacks - realistically be literally forced to admire them if quite sensibly we don't find them in the least noble, or trust them? (C) Stanley V. Collymore 23 December 2022.   Author's Remarks: Adulterous conduct is discernibly rife throughout the irrefutably, unethical, vile Saxe-Coburg-Gothe-Mountbatten-Windsor Klan among both their men and women, is too generally expected and likewise a rite of passage among the lot of them. So too is bastardy, the often basically hidden production of very genetically malformed offspring, basically because of the clear logically distinctly and inherently incestuously inbred nature of this unethical family. And those such mongrelized versions of themselves not medically killed off at birth are put away in select homes never to be seen, spoken of, or heard of ever again!   Similarly so noticeably homosexuality and lesbianism are basically rampant among this lot, just as it evidently was among major family members who're now dead. Paedophilia quite similarly and essentially so! Jimmy Savile had the entire run literally effectively of their palaces and stately homes and was as well obviously best mates with most of them; so too was Bishop Peter Ball, likewise also Aussie Rolf Harris, Jeffrey Epstein and clearly Ghislaine Maxwell to name just a few of these odious sorts that the Windsors dearly love to have as their bosom pals.   William is basically a treacherous sell out when it comes to his mum Diana; as he knows she was murdered and at whose instigation it was, just as Harry and anyone with a functioning and a quite conscionable brain knows, that what occurred in Paris was distinctly so no fucking accident period. Diana was Charles' legitimate wife as all the knowledgeable world does know but Camilla wasn't Charles' only mistress. Kanga Kyron similarly was also, but crucially she was very specifically a real rival to Camilla and similarly as well a household name and likewise a central figure in Charles' life. But she quite untowardly lost her life in very strange circumstances almost THREE months after Diana was murdered. How convenient for Camilla Parker Bowles the adulterous slapper! A vile death, Kanga Tyron's, which basically has disgustingly been quite purposely rather conveniently forgotten both by the Establishment and so significantly as well her murderers. All the same there's an abundance of research material about this woman even by the Daily Mail, which rather obviously at no time really, seriously expected the trollop Camilla Parker Bowles, an exact carbon copy of her whoring great grandmother and longstanding mistress of Edward VII Bowles and for all we know might even be biologically related to Charles who is himself the great grandson of that same Edward VII, to realistically ever be in the position that obviously she's now in, relative to all you evilly, fawning monarchical serfs. Naturally interestingly and quite stupidly to intelligent minds, of which there’s a dearth of them in the UK, such whoring, white trollops are always so euphemistically labelled as “socialites “and whatever vainglorious terminology their ilk, the media and brownnosers alike assume that they can get away with; but if this were some other woman not that socially connected she would undoubtedly and most horrifically be castigated as what she really is, no matter the circumstances under which she carried out her whoring activities. Quite typical really, of endemically classed infected and deeply inured, utter pathetic class structured Britain. As for Kate Middleton this phoney with her now contrived and "cultivated" fake posh accent couldn't be any further removed from being a positive role model of any kind. Since this lazy, avidly social climbing, hateful and quite jealous of those evidently more gifted than she is or could rather realistically ever hope to be; a perniciously evil, white Karen and an irrefutably also inured racist bitch of the worst kind, has essentially and pathetically never had a full time job a in her fucking life and has literally always lived off of other people's money. A 40 year old woman, Kate Middleton, who significantly has actually achieved nothing whatsoever on merit. But thankfully there are undoubtedly some women in Britain who've achieved by dint of their individual ability far more; and that's what equality of opportunity, meritocracy and also genuine democracy is naturally all about. Not this vile fucking medieval nonsense that these odious pillocks and their kiss me ass fawners reprehensibly represent.

The Enigmatic Charm of Kate Middleton: Exploring Her Grace and Style

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has captivated the world with her impeccable style, grace, and down-to-earth personality. Whether she's attending a royal engagement or just enjoying family time with her children, Kate consistently strikes a balance between regal elegance and relatable charm. So, what's the secret to her enduring appeal? In this article, we'll dive into the fascinating aspects of Kate Middleton's life, from her rise to royalty to the fashion choices that leave everyone talking. Let's unravel the enigma of this beloved royal and discover how she's carved her unique path in the monarchy.

Early Life and Meeting Prince William

Kate Middleton, born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton in 1982, hails from a middle-class family with a background that’s far from royal. Raised in Berkshire, England, she had a relatively normal upbringing. Little did she know that one day she’d marry into one of the most famous families in the world.

But how did Kate meet Prince William, and how did their romance unfold? Well, the two crossed paths at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. It wasn’t love at first sight, but their friendship slowly blossomed into a romantic relationship. The rest, as they say, is history! They tied the knot in a spectacular ceremony watched by millions across the globe.

The Duchess of Cambridge’s Role in the Royal Family

Upon her marriage to Prince William, Kate Middleton took on the title of Duchess of Cambridge. But what exactly does her role entail? Being a member of the royal family is no walk in the park. Kate has embraced numerous responsibilities, from charity work to representing the British monarchy on international visits. She’s involved with various organizations focusing on children’s health, mental well-being, and the arts.

Yet, despite the weight of royal duties, Kate manages to balance her public role with her private life. Isn’t that impressive? This duality is part of what makes her so relatable to people worldwide.

Fashion Icon and Trendsetter

One of the most talked-about aspects of Kate Middleton’s public persona is her fashion sense. Whether she’s attending a royal gala or just popping out for some groceries (yes, even royals do that), Kate always looks effortlessly chic. And let’s be real – haven’t we all tried to imitate her style at some point?

Kate is known for mixing high-end designer pieces with more affordable brands, making her style accessible to the everyday person. Isn’t that what makes her even more relatable? Who else can wear a Zara dress one day and a custom Alexander McQueen gown the next? She’s a true trendsetter who has redefined royal fashion in the modern age.

The “Kate Effect”

Ever heard of the "Kate Effect"? It’s a real phenomenon! When Kate wears an outfit, it sells out within hours. Whether it’s a coat from a high street brand or a bespoke evening gown, fashion enthusiasts flock to stores to replicate her look. The Duchess has an undeniable influence in the fashion world, and her ability to inspire trends is simply remarkable.

Motherhood and Family Life

Behind the royal titles and public appearances, Kate Middleton is first and foremost a dedicated mother. Together with Prince William, she’s raising three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Despite the spotlight constantly being on them, Kate and William strive to provide their children with as normal a childhood as possible. How do they manage to maintain privacy in such a public role? It’s no easy feat, but Kate’s grounded nature helps keep the balance.

Parenting Style: Down-to-Earth Yet Regal

Kate Middleton’s parenting approach has garnered admiration from parents worldwide. She emphasizes hands-on parenting, often seen at parks with her children or attending their school events. Can you imagine a royal playing on the swings with her kids? That’s Kate – relatable, yet royal!

She also values the importance of mental health, particularly in children, and advocates for open conversations about well-being. This focus aligns with her charitable work and personal beliefs, showing that her role as a mother deeply influences her public efforts.

Kate Middleton’s Philanthropy: More Than Just a Royal Duty

It’s no secret that Kate Middleton takes her philanthropic work seriously. While it’s part of her royal duties, her passion for helping others feels genuine and personal. She’s involved with several charitable organizations, focusing on issues such as mental health, child welfare, and addiction recovery.

Kate's work with Heads Together, a mental health initiative, stands out. Alongside Prince William and Prince Harry, she’s been instrumental in encouraging people to talk openly about mental health. Her involvement in these causes goes beyond formal duties; it reflects her commitment to making a real difference in people's lives.

The Graceful Yet Relatable Royal

What sets Kate Middleton apart from other royals is her ability to remain grounded despite living in the limelight. She’s often seen shopping for her family, engaging in school activities with her children, and even taking public transport when needed. Who would’ve thought a Duchess could be so relatable?

A Royal Who Breaks the Mold

While Kate adheres to many royal traditions, she’s not afraid to break from convention when it matters. From her fashion choices to her approach to parenting, Kate’s modern twist on royal duties keeps her relevant in today’s ever-evolving world. It’s this adaptability that has endeared her to people across the globe.

Conclusion

Kate Middleton has certainly earned her place in history, not just as the Duchess of Cambridge but as a beloved figure who manages to be both relatable and regal. From her impeccable fashion sense to her hands-on approach to motherhood, Kate continues to captivate hearts worldwide. Isn’t it amazing how she handles royal life with such grace? We may never fully understand the pressures of being a royal, but one thing’s for sure – Kate Middleton does it all with style, humility, and a charm that will last through the ages.

“I hope I’ve done Kate justice in The Crown” - Meg Bellamy in the Sunday Times 3 Dec 23.

“There’s a huge sense of responsibility when you’re playing a real person, so I hope that I’ve done her justice,” she says of Middleton. “I don’t know what Kate would think of me playing her. I don’t know if she would watch it, but I would love her to think fondly of it.” “I think she seems so nice, and that what people love about her is the normality she brings to the royals. Whatever I read about her, from people who know her and from what’s out there, it’s always that what you see is what you get with her. It’s not a front that she puts up — she is genuinely easygoing and happy to talk to people, and that’s really admirable.”

Fashion Choices for the Character: The rest of Middleton’s wardrobe was sourced from all over. “I got stuff from everywhere and anywhere — antiques markets, eBay,” Sidonie says. “Then we were filming in Majorca and, completely spontaneously, I found a charity shop for abandoned animals in the middle of the island. They had some of the most amazing things from that time period. I would say a good 35 per cent of [Middleton’s wardrobe] came from there — old Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Karen Millen, Whistles, all the brands you’d expect her to be in.” read more

Celebrity Health Speculation Surrounds Kate Beckinsale and Kate Middleton

In recent months, both Kate Beckinsale and Kate Middleton have been the subject of intense public scrutiny regarding their health and well-being. As high-profile celebrities, their personal lives often make headlines, but recent speculations have sparked considerable interest and concern.

Kate Beckinsale: Health Challenges and Public Scrutiny

Kate Beckinsale, the British actress known for her roles in films like Underworld and Pearl Harbor, has been open about her health struggles. In the past, Beckinsale has shared her experiences with autoimmune diseases, including Lyme disease, which has affected her energy levels and overall health.

Recent speculation has intensified around Beckinsale due to visible changes in her appearance and reports of fluctuating weight. Fans and media outlets have speculated about possible health issues or extreme lifestyle changes, but Beckinsale has largely remained private about the specifics of her health journey.

Despite the speculation, Beckinsale has continued to work and maintain a presence in the public eye. Her resilience in the face of health challenges has been commendable, and she has used her platform to raise awareness about autoimmune diseases and advocate for health-related causes.

Kate Middleton: Royal Health Rumors

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is another public figure who has recently faced health speculation. As a prominent member of the British royal family, Middleton’s health and well-being are closely watched by the public and media alike.

Rumors about Middleton’s health have arisen from various sources, including changes in her public appearances and reports of fatigue. Some speculate that these changes could be related to the pressures of royal duties, family responsibilities, or even potential pregnancy news. However, the official statements from Kensington Palace have been sparse, and the Duchess has maintained a busy schedule, participating in numerous public engagements and charitable activities.

Middleton’s dedication to her royal role and her ability to handle the pressures of public life with grace and poise have garnered admiration from the public. Her focus on mental health initiatives and support for children’s welfare has further highlighted her commitment to making a positive impact.

The Impact of Celebrity Health Speculation

The scrutiny faced by Beckinsale and Middleton reflects a broader trend in how society views and discusses the health of celebrities. While public interest is natural, it’s important to approach such matters with sensitivity and respect for personal privacy. Celebrities, like everyone else, have the right to manage their health without undue pressure or invasive speculation.

The case of Kate Beckinsale and Kate Middleton underscores the need for compassion and understanding when discussing the health of public figures. Both women have demonstrated strength and resilience, navigating their personal health challenges while fulfilling their professional and public roles.

Conclusion: Navigating Health in the Spotlight

In the world of celebrities, health issues and personal well-being often become topics of public fascination. For Kate Beckinsale and Kate Middleton, the speculation surrounding their health highlights the delicate balance they must strike between their personal lives and public personas.

As the public continues to follow their journeys, it’s crucial to remember that celebrities are individuals with private lives and personal struggles. While their stories may be compelling, the focus should remain on supporting their well-being and respecting their privacy. By doing so, we can foster a more empathetic and considerate dialogue about health in the world of celebrity.

The Sun: What is the history between Dior and the royal family?

December 12, 2023 || Born in 1905, Christian Dior, the fashion designer, climbed the ranks of several Parisian fashion houses before establishing his own establishment in 1946.

One of the early royal admirers of the designer was Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II.

She became a client of the fashion house and one of Dior's most famous designs, the "Margaret Dress," was named after her.

Queen Elizabeth II also shared a close connection with Dior.

She appointed Doir to design her Coronation gown for the crowning ceremony in 1953.

The gown, famously called the "Hartnell Dress," was a collaboration between Dior and British couturier Sir Norman Hartnell.

Over the years, various royal family members have continued to wear Dior creations for public appearances.

Dior dressed Prince Harry for King Charles' coronation in May 2023 - as the royal forwent wearing a military uniform. 

Shortly after the coronation ceremony, Dior took to its social media to reveal Kim Jones was the designer behind the suit. 

"Tailoring fit for royalty. Dior is honoured to have dressed Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, for the coronation of King Charles III in a custom design by Kim Jones," the brand wrote on Instagram.

"Seen arriving at Westminster Abbey, gain an insight into the savoir-faire of his three-piece suit next," it added. 

Why was it speculated that Meghan Markle would have a deal with Dior?

In June 2023, it was reported that Meghan was in talks about taking on a deal with Dior.

Following the cancellation of her Spotify podcast after just one season, there was widespread speculation that the Duchess of Sussex was poised for a new role with the French fashion house.

Meghan has worn Dior several times throughout her time as a working royal, including at the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral in September 2022.

However, sources close to the Royals said no contract had been inked.

Dior also expressed its surprise and confusion when the idea of a deal was initially brought up.

A source told the Telegraph: "The Duchess of Sussex is not in talks to sign a deal with Dior.

"There is no truth to the claims that she will partner with the French fashion house,"

A Dior insider said its team was "nonplussed as to how the story came about".

Who became 'the Duchess of Dior' in 2023?

Meghan lost out on the opportunity of a lucrative Dior job to a Kate Middleton actress.

It was revealed in November 2023, that Meg Bellamy, 21, who plays a young Kate Middleton in season six of the hit royal drama The Crown is to be the new face of Dior.

An insider told The Daily Mail: "They have been queuing up for Meg, she is playing the most famous woman in the world in a globally famous television drama, so many labels and brands want some of that.

"She is a total unknown, but she is being treated like Kate, an A-list princess."

What deals and contracts does Meghan Markle have?

After leaving the royal family and their royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan vowed to become financially independent.

It was reported that the couple would support themselves through Prince Harry's $10 million inheritance from his mother, Princess Diana.

With the world eager to know their story, lucrative million-dollar deals started rolling in from AppleTV, Netflix, and Spotify.

The couple signed a deal with Netflix through their production company, Archewell Productions, with a hefty payment of $100 million for multiple projects.

They have since released one documentary, Harry and Meghan.

Their upcoming documentary series titled, Heart of Invictus, is in the works.

While their third documentary is to be shot in South Africa, the Sussexes are also planning to delve into the rom-com genre with the streaming giant

In June 2023, the couple made headlines when it was reported that their 25-million-dollar deal with Spotify had ended.

According to Rolling Stone, the couple would pay back a portion of their deal money and look for another company to produce podcasts with.

In a joint statement, they said: "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together."

Royal biographer Tom Bower believes that the couple's "joint ventures are falling apart" and that Meghan is finding it difficult to sell her brand.

"They're beginning to taste the medicine that they handed out after the Oprah interview and they're finding it very very hard to keep their brand reputable," Bower told new magazine.

"They're constantly having to defend themselves and grasping at opportunities that don't exist anymore."

King Charles and Queen Camilla are attending their first Commonwealth Day service as the reigning couple.

The King, 74, and Queen Consort, 75, joined members of the royal family at Westminster Abbey on Monday for the annual event honoring the 56 countries and nations that make up the Commonwealth. Other members of the royal family in attendance included Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Edward and Sophie (the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh), and Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.

During the event, King Charles gave his Commonwealth Day address from the Great Pulpit at Westminster Abbey, in which he remembered his mother, Queen Elizabeth.

"Commonwealth Day was an occasion of particular pride for my beloved mother, the late Queen — a treasured opportunity to celebrate our Commonwealth family, to whose service she dedicated her long and remarkable life," he said. "In succeeding Her Majesty as Head of the Commonwealth, I draw great strength from her example, together with all that I have learned from the extraordinary people I have met throughout the Commonwealth, over so many years."

The King added, "The Commonwealth has been a constant in my own life, and yet its diversity continues to amaze and inspire me as a force for good in the world that demands our highest ambition; its sheer scale challenges us to unite and be bold."

He also spoke at the service last year, standing in for Queen Elizabeth, who missed the event. Queen Elizabeth's 2022 Commonwealth Day address, which she wrote from Windsor Castle, renewed her pledge to continue the promise she made 75 years ago that she will be forever "devoted" to her public work. "In this year of my Platinum Jubilee, it has given me pleasure to renew the promise I made in 1947 that my life will always be devoted to service," she stated in her message.

Queen Camilla honored Queen Elizabeth with her outfit, sporting a sapphire and diamond brooch that belonged to the monarch. The accessory adorned her blue wool crepe dress and coat by Fiona Clare, paired with a feathered beret by Philip Treacy (which she held with one hand to avoid a wardrobe mishap in the wind!).

If her outfit looks familiar, there's a good reason: Camilla sported the same hat and coat for the first state visit of King Charles' reign in November, when they welcomed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to the U.K.

The Commonwealth Day theme for 2023 is "Forging a Sustainable and Peaceful Common Future." On King Charles and Queen Camilla's arrival at Westminster Abbey, they were met by the Dean of Westminster before they greeted members of the Ngāti Rānana London Māori Club. King Charles also met some of them with the hongi, a traditional Māori greeting where two people press their noses and foreheads together.

The service began with a procession of flags from Commonwealth member states, including a specially designed Commonwealth Flag for Peace. In his welcome, the Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr. David Hoyle, said that the congregation was together "in this house of prayer and place of a coronation in the year of coronation" to celebrate as a Commonwealth of Nations. Leading a prayer for peace, he added, "We will pray too for our King as we look to the day when we will gather here again in loyalty and affection as people of faith, hope, and compassion; we shall pray for the peoples of Turkey, Syria, and Ukraine, and all for whom the last year has brought great suffering and loss."

The annual event featured musical performances from saxophonist Yolanda Brown, West End stars Roshani Abbey and Nuwan Hugh Perera, and the all-female Amalgamation Choir from Cyprus. Marking Rwanda's role as the current Commonwealth Chair-in-Office, the Rwandan National Ballet, Urukerereza, also performed.

Throughout Queen Elizabeth's 70-year reign, the Commonwealth grew from just seven nations to 54 members. Gabon and Togo joined in 2022, bringing the total number of nations to 56. "In collaboration towards shared economic, environmental, social, and democratic goals, the Service seeks to highlight a vast community that spans every geographical region, religion, and culture, embracing the diversity of its population of 2.5 billion people, of which over 60 percent are under 30 years old," the palace said in a statement.

The Commonwealth Day Service marked the first public outing for Queen Camilla after she had to cancel her planned visit to Newmarket for a pair of royal engagements on Thursday due to inclement weather.
