the angle of this photo makes it look like camilla is infront of the queen (lizzy is right at the back)

notice how its harry first, wills kate, then charles camilla

 

[kats]

for the earrings ( I have a pair similar to this), Kates earrings are just gorgeously precious

actually I have a few coats, which I have at times worn as a dress lol

1935 Silver Jubilee for King George V (far left):

1953 Coronation:

1977 Silver Jubilee:

2002 Golden Jubilee:

2012 Diamond Jubilee:

I'm wondering if Harry was intended to be there, or if he was making up the numbers because Prince Philip couldn't be there? Did they intend to have just the three couples, or Harry as well as he's next in line after William?

abc.net.au/iview (documentaries) has a couple docs relating to the queen (history) including behind the scenes on what went on during the 16 months before her coronation, with interviews with the queens bridesmaids (not her wedding, the coronation)

Apparently the relationship between prince philip and the queeen mum was not good at all, phillip also wanted to modernise, get the royals to be with the times even back then, the queen mum and the traditionalists were not amused

pecan, no its intended like that.... thats the line to the throne (with harry)


Charles blood line (Oldest) Wills, Harry

this may very well be the last for the queen

you will notice (for the royal watchers) how carefully organised alot of the offical engagements are, with wills and kate along with harry, with the 3 of them being more so into the picture, the newer and next generation, so the focus will be on them and the queen

What creepy eyes !

At least the fangs are sheathed ...

Prince charles and then princess mary next to the new queen, followed by prince phillip and then the queen mum

INTENTIONALLY done.... THEN and NOW with the position of royals, whether it appears as a casual photo (like outside the church and even the thames day with all those boats) with photos etc etc

how fantastic for the archives.... imagine our own kids in 40 years time looking back all these years including this year and years following ... ofcourse most of us will be dead by then or quite frail and old but still kicking on, just at a slower pace... unless ofcourse we follow the queens diet.. how fantastic is she... i would have been exhausted, how many days of royal engagements, parties, luncheons etc etc? she rocks on .... I did notice some of the photos inside the church where some of the royal family members looked really tired (or slightly hungover lol)

Yep, I've been meaning to watch a few of them Kats. I watched the Andrew Morton one last night, didn't realise it was from about ten years ago till the end.

Ds, sometimes photos capture her quite nicely, (only when she smiles) other times its quite clear kate will not age well, she has this weird thing happening around her smile lines, from the corner of her mouth, that cheek line... there is something weird happening near that mouth area, for a young girl of her age, droopy, unfreshed, not so sparkly.. i suck at description lol

Sometimes i wish to see kate lessen her eyeliner somewhat (or do the line at the outter lower eyelash, and not with black lol) sometimes its just too dark and actually makes her eyes smaller and swollen, though again this might just be the way of the camera, angle, lighting etc lol

 

[kats]

Ive always digged princess michael of kent, always fresh and elegant, magically

you can only just lately see a tiny bit of that be of less (age)

Doesnt peter look similar to wills? (if will had darker hair)

Are you talking about Kate?

What gave it away. "Wisteria Sister", "conniving", or "pump out a couple more Windors" ?

What happened when Rolf Harris was singing Two Little Boys? ABC kept cutting out..did that guy stop him singing half way through? The bits I saw seemed quite bizarre. This guy says "Stop stop, you have to stop, we're ready now" and Rolf got a bit annoyed and said "We've only got a little bit to go" and finished singing. Then the signal cut out. What happened there? Was it a joke or a stuff up?

Channel 9 didn't cut anything off. It showed Rolf leading a singalong that even the Royals were joining in, and Lenny getting Left-ard Totalitarian on him and being booed by the crowd for his jackbootedness.

Here tis from the MSM: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...lf-Harris-says-Queen-looking-better-I-am.html

I suspect it ain't the first time Lenny has bashed on about skin colour at an occassion where nobody G.A.F, too ...

Anyhoo, here is the tube

check out the family photos in the background

was this the dress under her coat today?

I agree the Brits should absolutely be proud, the organizers did an amazing job, the whole world cannot help but be impressed.

She looks quite natural I reckon.

It's that wisteria sister that puts a chill up my spine.

AFAIC, something not all that nice a'lurking in that lass.

Maybe pumping out a few new Windsors might knock that shrewed conniving look off her.

One thing for sure is that she AIN'T no Queen Liz.

She would more likely be an "off with their heads" kind of King's wife I reckon.

Are you talking about Kate?

I think Kate is definitively a strong woman which some men do not like. I agree she is not Queen Liz but Lizzy has life long experience and for a 30 year old the Duchess is imo doing a fantastic job, I am a big fan.

Camilla 2012:

I am so glad all that shit is behind her, Cammy has been elegant and proper. Never has she used the paparazzi for her own gain. Well done Cammy

I love her. I think the wedding did a lot in endearing the Royals to many people again. It seems that Kate & Camilla have a rather nice/close relationship from what i've seen.
