I feel like she didn’t get enough at the container store to organize a palace. Someone call The Home Edit!

I forgot about those blue GAP bags. Those were some of my favorite from stores. We only have the white paper ones with the logo since you can’t give out single use plastic anymore. It’s weird to me now that my own teenager doesn’t walk the mall showing off bags the way I did. Almost everything she buys goes into a reusable bag.

Aside from the venue (Kensington palace), is this really that crazy of a party? Bounce house, magician, and some catered food like sliders/pasta? Birthday parties for school aged kids/preschoolers are really big where I live (some are even like mini-weddings), so I honestly don’t know if this is considered super extravagant for Brits.

Copied from the Blinds July 1, 2019 Apparently the alliterate former actress turned royal now wants an annual salary for the work she is doing. She wants a cut from that real estate empire to the tune of about $400K per year. Meghan Markle Read more: howeverithappened.proboards.com/thread/26881/july-2019-blinds?page=26#ixzz5tzNeEk7mI didn’t think they were going to be working royals? But if they are, what’s the going rate for a working royal? I feel like 400k might be in the ballpark, so I don’t think I’m scandalized. Working Royal or not, that's not the way the Civil List works. If she (or anyone covered by the Civil List arrangements with parliament) wants more money, McDondald's is always hiring. But the Civil List is the deal. She's not in any position to renegotiate with Parliament and I highly doubt the Queen or Charles is willing to change the deal within the family.

I feel like they know better than to do anything truly extravagant just because of the public optics, but I’m sure their bounce house and magician birthday is going to be way more impressive than the bounce house and magician birthday I throw together

I just read the title of the article, and then when I read the actual party description, I was like...this doesn’t seem news worthy 🤔

I have no clue what the Civil List is, that’s what I was asking. Sorry, I keep forgetting the deal with Parliament was renegotiated and is now the Sovereign Grant, not the Civil List. But here is a basic explanation of how the UK funds the Royal Family. How the Royal Family splits the Sovereign Grant and/or proceeds from Royal Lands is unknown, to the best of my knowledge. Clues might be on Meghan's US tax return, but I doubt we'll ever really know.

I don’t care how many times I try to mentally correct myself, I will always say “you-gee-knee” and think that sounds better than how she actually pronounces her name. It feels so unnatural to say.

Doesn't suit my 9-5, mom of two toddlers life right now. But if I had people, this is the vibe I'd like to have. Stunning. I'm not even a shoe person, but those SHOES

This is such a beautiful outfit. The color, her shoes & earrings, her hair, ALL OF IT.

I think Princess Madeleine is in my Top 3 Royals. She looks effortlessly beautiful with a very "Christie Brinkley ageless" vibe.
