The blonde who was "dressed like a trollop" was the Queen's granddaughter,
Zara Phillips. I thought she looked okay, she is young and modern.

That's Anne's daughter, right? Did Anne and her ex- ever decide to
allow their kids to have any sort of title, if only "The Honourable"?
(IIRC at one time they said they weren't going to do so)

Yes.

As far as I know, neither Zara, nor her brother Peter have a title.
Zara is now a fine horsewoman, like her mother.

Hmmmm, Me too, Debbie. Criticizing Royal hats has become a British
passtime. (To be fair, they've come up with some miraculously
unattractive ones.) Camilla's hat was rather nice and stylish, I
thought. And I thought her dress and coat were pretty, and appropriate
for the occasion.

I wish the couple well. I just REALLY hope we'll never have to hear
more pirated tapes of their loving conversations. Some things really
ARE better off left to the imagination. =o) I read an article recently
that said Charles got his marriages backwards. He married his trophy
wife first, and his "first wife" second.

Oh it wasn't the hat from the civil wedding, but the headpiece at the
blessing.

I guess you really don't want to see some of my antique/vintage hats that
have feathers on them! LOL

It looks like she got her hair caught in a Cuisinart mixer before she
had to run out to get married. ;p


For a moment, I
thought she had twigs in her hair. Then I realized they were
feathers
(I
think). But it kind of makes her look like a porcupine.

She will always be the Pitbull in my book.

I agree, Lyn. Bow wow. But then, IMO, I can't look at him without
thinking about a Basset Hound's face. Thank God for Diana's genetic
input. Her boys are quite handsome.

That William is a lady killer, eh? Makes me wish I was 20 years
younger...

I don't think it was the feathers so much as the angle of the photography.
Some of the photographs -- especially those shown from the side -- made the
hat/headpiece look like it was really badly wind-blown hair. Since then, I
have seen other photos where it actually looked rather nice (and I suppose
that would have been true if it were viewed in person).

There were certainly some strange things attached to some people's heads
yesterday, how some of them stayed on I will never know! :-)

Certainly agree with that. I think if royal protocol and high parental
expectations with a touch of historical bias hadn't got in the way 30
years ago, Charles would have married Camilla either before or after he
went into the Forces, saving everyone a lot of heartache. I wish them
every happiness now - they have apologised in front of the world for
their sins and been forgiven by the head of the Church of England,
surely that is enough.

Deb.

Ah well.
Everyone's a critic.

It was sweeping feathers. Actually, (just my 2p-worth), I thought she
looked very elegant and appropriate in the long pale jade gown and
headdress for the blessing. Each to their own :-)

wouldn't want to lead the life of a royal for the world.

Did anyone else notice, half the union flags being waved by the crowd,
were upside down? It was not mentioned on any of the television reports
I saw. The union flag upside down is supposed to be a distress signal, I
don't think I'd rely on it if I were in trouble. ;-)
