Well done to William & Kate .....

I think Lady Louise might start doing some royal work in a few years, she's seems relaxed at events she has had a role in, and she looks sensible.

They were petite. Neatly in proportion. No way was Edward 6ft.

And should have added, my mum was no Royalist so that was an honest assessment.

My mum was a midwife at St Thomas's hospital London when the Queen visited( I think to open the new maternity wing). She said the Queen was tiny but had the most beautiful skin, this was 35/40 years ago!

Sophie Wessex is 5' 5"
Which means I am dinkier still because I think I've shrunk.
And Edward is supposedly 6ft

Are they very slim?

I thought Princess Anne was tiny when I saw her, but it's reported that she is 5' 6". She is very slim.

If only lemongrove! They were really quite dinky. Very nicely dressed and with a lovely manner with the youngsters.

That’s because you are 6ft2 Jane10 ?

DH had dealings with Sophie and Edward and was very impressed. A very nice couple who did a great job encouraging a lot of youngsters at an event he was involved with. I didn't speak to them as I was only lurking but was amazed at how tiny they were!

Yes I thought of that Pamela, but if 2,000 were female
the odds were very high

Anniebach, some of them would have been male heterosexuals though so that narrowed the field considerably ?

Yes lemon , and do it without complaining.

I think you are right about the present ‘working royals’, Anniebach a pared down RF who will all get on with the job is enough.?

And William doesn’t need to ‘hope’ trisher, he could always train as a helicopter pilot couldn’t he......oh wait!

I said 'relatively '! Compared to years of civil war, execution, and Cromwells republic , the G.R was pretty low key notwithstanding the battle of the Boyne.

Jabberwok I think the Irish would disagree about the low-key affair given the Battle of the Boyne. Charles may take a different name. Maybe W will be hoping.

Kate produced a heir and two spares ? Artificial Insemination ?

Oh dear, I guess for some people the Duchess can't do right for doing wrong! Some people are happy for their lives to revolve around their husband and children! Why should that be something to sneer about? Not much she can do about being white, though of course it should have immediately debarred her! smacked wrist indeed for PW for even acknowledging her in the first place!!

???

And hasn’t public opinion changed re Camilla! Thankfully.

Kate was sure to grab Williams attention , only 7,500 students

I think with Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, Anne, Sophie and Edward, the royal working family are right for
this country.

Of course Kate is perfection. She didn’t set her sights on William by applying to the same University. She has produced an heir and two spares. She has no life beyond her husband, children and royal duties and she is white. Perfect princess material.

Honestly trisher, bit of an exaggeration! Cromwell, maybe, but William and Mary? As James 11 left quietly (allowed to go!) the glorious revolution was a relatively low key affair Anyway, whose to say Charles won't take a different name on becoming king as did George V1th?
I think William and Kate will flourish now whining Harry and duplicitous Meghan have gone. The RF looked brilliant, out en masse, business as usual! H and M already yesterdays news, and forgotten already!

Thankfully we have more members of royals with dignity than lacking dignity,

Do you mean like flying helicopters for rescue services trisher?
