LOL wouldn't that suck if your own mom couldn't come to your wedding because she couldn't keep her mouth shut?

The York Diamond Tiara that Fergie wore when she got married. That one's beautiful!

Make the center stone blue and it looks a lot like Diana/Kate's

Also interesting. I’m still learning how titles and things work. (Also, Eugenie is a “non-working” royal.)

Eugenie and Beatrice being non-working royals is a sore spot for their dad. He tried to get them more involved and Charles said no, causing some drama.

Would that involve putting them on the payroll or something? Speculated reasons range from him only wanting his immediate family in the spotlight to trying to control costs or at least the perception of controlling costs. There is definite friction between Andrew and Charles, but it's a bit of "are they fighting because of this issue or is this issue because they are fighting?"

I wonder if it has something to do with public perception of the York’s due to the whole Fergie thing? Also, Charles is probably an asshole.

Would that involve putting them on the payroll or something? Yes. They already get lots of flack for costing the tax payers so much money. Think there was big thing when Beatrice and Eugenie lost their royal protection officers. (This is what I remember so details could be fuzzy but I know Andrew wants his girls on the payroll and Charles said no, Andrew even tried to get the Queen involved but she has delegated lots of decisions to Charles, such as this)

Andrew is reportedly QE2's favorite, so there is some sibling rivalry. But I think the bigger issues are Andrew's numerous scandals and the growing sentiment that the Royal Family is too expensive/wasteful/unnecessary. Charles wants to look like he's fighting that, but it's causing issues because Andrew is left out of things like the Trooping of the Colour that he and his family used to be part of.

Well, considering how Sarah’s marriage went... 😬 Eh. I wear a simple family ring (as a right hand ring) that my mother wore as a wedding band. My parents are divorced but it’s not like the ring is going to cause my downfall🤷♀️

I bet there is something more going on about the Charles v Andrew argument. But honestly, eventually you have to “prune” the royal tree. Otherwise things get out of control quickly. And you end up with racist bitchy Princess Michael living at Kensington for decades upon decades.

Princess Anne declined royal titles for her children and they have real jobs and are still included in royal events. Andrew is just jealous that he is not going to be King.

Would that involve putting them on the payroll or something? I watched this on a documentary somewhere. Something about Charles wanting the official royal family to be smaller to help preserve it. Im so bad at memory and details but I remember thinking it made sense. I remember Andrew actually came off a bit entitled sounding in the documentary and the girls seemed fine with it. This is all I remember.

Aaaand I see you guys covered it better. Family drama. Yet another reason Royals are just like us.

You all lost me.
So Andrew is Charles' younger brother??
His daughters are Eugenie and Beatrice? I thought they were stripped of their titles? Were they they ones dressed like the evil step sisters from Cinderella at will and Kate's wedding?
Who is Fergie again? (I know who she is but not what family she's from)
Who the F is Sarah?
Much confused🤦

They were dressed like the wicked stepsisters at Williams wedding but they have not been stripped of any titles.

They are no longer have the royal family protection but still have small titles Andrew is younger then Charles and is very far down the line of succession

What does non working royal mean? And why wouldn't Eugenia's H get a title? I am like newly fascinated with all this formal stuff.

Are Royals basically the rich and powerful passed from generation to generation since the beginning of time?
I'm constantly wondering why exactly they're Royal. 👑

Non working royal means they don't go on official things for the queen. He won't get a title because they are too far away in the line of succession

Some are rich because of their jobs. Others are rich because they are royal and it's passed down/tax payers. From my understanding
