George Michael bought the walnut-finished upright Steinway model Z piano for £1.45 million in October 2000. His estate has loaned it to Kate for the Together at Christmas carol service honouring all those across the UK supporting children in their crucial early years.
Mike Tindall talks about The Princess of Wales' competitive nature which comes out during any kind of contest including some beer pong || 9 SEPTEMBER 2023
Princess Royal,
The one most loyal,
To the British crown,
You recognize that frown?
That steely glare??
You'd be forgiven to think she doesn't care,
Well the opposite is truth!
For who's stalwart duty skyrockets the roof?
ANNE MAN!
Who else would it be?!
The Olympian, Equestrian, Farmer and Jockey,
Her Father in another formation,
Who squashed the Princess expectation,
Snapped the pristine silver spoon,
To criticism she is wisely immune,
Scoffs at the presses "fairy stories",
Not one to take all the glory,
Slackest working royal...haha!! Nice try!!
Because when all men are down who's the bloody standby?!?!
ANNE GODDAMN!
This timeless muse who can't refuse,
Recycled garments from headwear to shoes,
This devoted Mother, Grandmother and Wife,
Who lives a Tim loving abundant life,
This stoic blessed girlboss,
Who doesn't give a toss,
Yet CLEARLY gives a damn,
There is no one like you Ma'am,
Princess Anne
“There’s a photograph of her arriving at the abbey and looking over her shoulder directly into the camera. Compare it to one taken in the same place on her wedding day and see the transformation. There’s a steeliness to her gaze that wasn’t there 12 years ago. There’s an alchemy at work that the other royals must desperately wish they could bottle.” - The Sunday Times
Obsessed with the Daily Mail doing a whole article on this woman who made what's supposed to be Charles and Camilla pies, and the fact the pies look like characters in a Wallace and Gromit horror movie
