Eugenie’ wedding

I watched the wedding on television and it was a beautiful, dignified event. I think that all of the negative comments I have read on Gransnet are really out of order. If the Queen wishes for her granddaughter to be married in a certain way it is her prerogative.

Thanks for the link Marydoll most of those pics aren't in the printer Daily Mirror or on the FB pages I've seen from W.W. sites.
I didn't like Nicola's outfit but admire her for not conforming.

of course it is Bubbel but as her father apparently is worth 60 million + maybe HE should have footed the bill for HIS family wedding.You know just like the rest of us do .

The family did pay for the wedding

I didn't know until yesterday that her name is pronounced YOO-jenny! How odd.

I always pronounced it You-Genie - as I'd always thought that Empress Eugenie's name was pronounced like that.

Yes...it is but in my view, it's an entirely truthful comment.
Not a truthful comment but an *opinion& (and a rather nasty one at that).

I think he's rather nice-looking - and what on earth is wrong with a royal princess marrying someone with a fairly ordinary job?
At least she hasn't been forced into marrying someone whom she didn't love.

Harry married a tv actress

I’ve always pronounced it You-Janey. I’m glad to know how it should really be pronounced.

Pronounced Youjeny apparently.

Do you think that the Queen reads Gransnet?

'Use yer knee' is how I've always pronounced it.

I did chuckle when Fergie had to beat a hasty retreat from Robbie Williams's daughter's questions.

'Are you the Queen?'

'No!'

'Are you a princess?'

'Yes!'

Er….No you're not, Fergie but I don't blame you for ducking out of explaining that one.

Didn't see much of it but thought the dress was lovely and the rather medieval design of the tiara suited it beautifully. The groom seemed very sweet, with the glasses on? glasses off dilemma.

Apparently his grandma told the press he was a charming boy, but not very intelligent. Gran!!!

Jack has a certain resemblance in character and looks to Mark Phillips (commonly referred to as Foggy!). I think he's probably just a thoroughly good egg and will make a jolly splendid husband for Youjaney.

Well for what it’s worth ( nothing) I like Fergie and I hope her and Airmiles live happily ever after ( even if it’s just to p*ss the rest of the off )

the rest of “them” off .

I thought Andrew seemed quite frosty towards Fergie. They barely made eye contact. Maybe they were wary of Philip and the Queen sitting so close to them.

I didn't think they "lived together" although they live in the same, rather large, house.
Convenience?

A long time ago, I lived in Windsor Castle, King George IV Lodge, Lancaster Tower. (Lovely view down the Long Walk, irritating noise as the guards stomped about under the dining room window)

Some of the Royal Family, and their boyfriends/girlfriends had nick name/code names, and I can confirm that Mark Phillips was known as "Foggy"

A fab place to be Phoenix Windsor Gt Park is lovely. My great uncle Walter was some kind of groundsman there post war & into 50s. I remember visiting. He & Aunt Emily had a cottage somewhere in the park.

One of my sons lives close to Windsor, and my Australian brother-in- law is visiting him there today. Unfortunately it is bucketing with rain and Windsor won’t look at its best. Pity.

Aaah but who knows what they get up to when they are not being watched merlot nudge nudge .

Apparently they do live in the same house.

I suspect the divorce was because of the very public philanderings of both! If they had not been royals they may have quietly put it behind them and found their way back to each other without divorce. Usual family fall outs between inlaws exacerbated the problem. Now they have this charade of "sharing " a home.

PECS; there's a coincidence! I've today signed up to a forum for Windsor residents and visitors; it's all about Windsor history, of which we have more than plenty and I'm sure they would welcome your input!
