They are not happy bunnies are they?

I too would have bought houses for my daughters, my post stating the properties were bought by the Queen was a reply to a post saying the properties were handed over by the Queen

Jalima1108 Thu 27-Dec-18 14:32:04

I missed that!

My D does "eventing" Zara rides other people's horses and gets sponsored to do so. Apart from her beloved Toytown.

Anniebach Thu 27-Dec-18 15:22:49

The queen does not only breed race horses , she enters horses at The Royal Windsor Horse Show

merlotgran Thu 27-Dec-18 15:49:33

Horses entered by the Queen in any event in any equestrian sport need not necessarily have been bred by her.

I don't get where your nit-picking is going, Annie

Anniebach Thu 27-Dec-18 15:59:39

Merlot how come I am ‘nit-picking’ ? All I said was she breeds other horses too, you disapprove of me saying this so accuse me of nit-picking.

EllanVannin. Quote',because of royalty there has never been a war in this country'.? If you look back in history you will observe the British Isles royals as a blood thirsty lot who liked nothing more than going into battle wielding their swords and removing anyone /anything that stood in their way.

I won some money once by betting on one of HM's horses - I saw the horse in the parade ring and put my last £2 of betting money on it each way.
It came in first - I think I won £14!

Ok this is what I think is going on. Meghan and Kate had a minor row about the bridesmaid dress, which Kate and Meghan could have got over, except that William had a go at Harry over it, and Harry probably yelled at him. William went into sulk mode and stayed there. Harry thinks William is being impossible, so there is tension there. Kate and Meghan both pulled up their socks and decided to be grown up about it even though they have little in common and would never have been close buddies in any circumstances. William who will NOT be told what he should be doing, by ANYONE, and never has, continues his sulk.

Anniebach Thu 27-Dec-18 17:35:00

?, this is what I think is going on. Megan upset Kate about little Charlotte’s dress fitting. Kate told William, William told Harry Megan should remember Charlotte is only three . Harry threw a wobbly stating ‘ what Megan wants Megan gets’ and William said not when I am PofWales sunshine

I reckon Char licked off and demanded a Peppa Pig costume instead of some frock.

Kate said " OK then cool" and Megs saw her **.

Wills waded in and said " either the pig stays or we are pulling out of the whole thing"

ReadyMeals Thu 27-Dec-18 17:36:21

Lol!! :D

ReadyMeals Thu 27-Dec-18 17:36:48

No one puts Peppa in a corner!

oldbatty Thu 27-Dec-18 17:37:05

kicked not licked!!!

Jalima1108 Thu 27-Dec-18 17:37:08

Are you all writing for Hello magazine?
grin

or the Mirror? shock

ReadyMeals Thu 27-Dec-18 17:40:48

Daily Mail!! :D

Chewbacca Thu 27-Dec-18 17:43:49

I have insider knowledge that oldbatty's version of events is spot on. taps side of nose, knowingly

Lisagran Thu 27-Dec-18 17:46:31

A Royal wedding with a Peppa Pig bridesmaid would have been cool grin

Jalima1108 Thu 27-Dec-18 17:51:28

Lisagran Thu 27-Dec-18 17:55:20

Ah yes Jalima. grin

Anniebach Thu 27-Dec-18 18:05:19

batty love it. Pippa Pig as bridesmaid ? Fantastic ?

Jane10 Thu 27-Dec-18 18:09:08

I thought Kate objected to the way Meghan spoke to staff. I could believe that.
Alice Tinkers wedding dress simply couldn't be improved on!

Anniebach Thu 27-Dec-18 18:29:44

Several members of her staff have left

EllanVannin Thu 27-Dec-18 18:43:58

Meghan's mother turned the Queen's personal Christmas invitation down too. I wonder what that was about because the mother,once upon a time, was ready to move in with Harry and Meghan ?

Anniebach Thu 27-Dec-18 19:14:52

Perhaps she will move in when they leave KP
