Before them, you have to go back a few centuries to find anyone who would even be entitled to be called Queen Mother.


And LOL at all y'all!
And I am most certainly NOT loathe to accept your royal authority, my royal Jamestown cousin! That's what I get for trusting Yahoo! - I need to brush up on my royal trivia. Sadly, I discovered last night that my favourite tiara is in need of repair.

Just saw Pippa's dress.

That's my only comment I have for this thread.

Wait, is the hat a fascinator?

Was Chelsy Davis invited? If it was announced, I never saw
the full guest list.

Didn't watch, but I LOVE Kate's dress. Maybe it'll start a trend and everyone will stop wearing strapless dresses with the rolls of fat hanging out over the top.

And wow, Wills is becoming less Diana and more Charles every day.

Yep, those little floofy things, often with feathers, perched on top of the head are called a fascinator. Not enough of it to qualify as a hat!

Yes, she was, and she did attend.

Except when he mingles with "the people." Then you really see Diana in him.

Well, I'm sure you can always borrow one, just like Kate did. :D

Not sure I understand what you're asking, but the facinators are the feathery headbands worn in lieu of a hat.

No, I meant the MysticCat fan club hats.

I'm imagining a fascinator with a unicorn horn instead of feathers.

I meant his looks, not his personality/demeanor.

Yea, thetalady and AlphaFrog... we're focusing on the important stuff here! :p

MysticCat fan club hats > hats at the royal wedding

One can only dream.

Sidenote: LOL at people actually WAKING up at 5AM and calling off work to watch this. And double LOL at having a Royal Wedding viewing party at that hour to watch it.

I haven't watched, but I figured they'll talk about it enough on the news so it doesn't matter.

Ah. Then yeah, he really does. Poor chap.


How about more trivia: Apparently Edward was to have been made Duke of Cambridge when he married Sophie Rhys-Jones, but he asked the Queen to make him Earl of Wessex instead. Supposedly, the reason was that he liked Colin Firth's chacacter is Shakespeare in Love.

Not making that up.

So I just went on msn.com, and this is the picture on the main page:

I can't get over the look on the face of little girl in the bottom left-hand corner! HAHAHAHAHA :D

I believe it. He always did have a theatrical air about him. It's a bit odd that there are very few pictures of his daughter, Lady Louise. I understand she's a bridesmaid today, though.
