A little bit of scandal from Martha Louise of Norway. If you remember, a little while ago she had decided to not use her royal title any longer. This could be why. I wonder what her dad (King Harald) thinks about this considering he had bladder cancer a few years ago. I guess he brought it on himself

I know it's been said before, but I really wish Victoria would go with a different hairstyle. It's just so harsh and not really flattering to her face shape. Even a bun/chignon/French twist with a few loose pieces on either side of her face would be an improvement. Haha I was literally going to post this. I think I have posted it before too. I feel like she would look so much better with looser hair, either all the way down or a messier bun look. Itβs so severe and it ages her unnecessarily. Also, isnβt it boring to do the exact same thing every day? Donβt get me wrong, my hair is straight and down every day but I also donβt have access to a stylist. I would be having a ball with hairstyles if I had what they had.

This is a rewear, right? From that holiday event I canβt remember the name of? I didnβt like this dress but it was popular here. And I want to love Letiziaβs floral dress, but I find the proportions of the top odd. I 70% love it.

Yes this is my point. If you don't care about the optics of one you shouldn't care of the optics of her sister. I again am probably projecting But bad optics because of taxpayers funding Eugenieβs wedding is way different than optics for taxpayers funding a party for a pedophiles kid. Rewarding her with a ginormous princess wedding = rewarding him, and fuck that. Andrew has been linked to Epstein before so B has to miss out because the public forgot and now theyβre reminded? E is just as equally a pedophiles child and she got her fancy wedding* because it had been a long while since the Epstein stuff had happened. Itβs hitting the fan again and now itβs all βB do want deserve the fancy tax payer wedding because her dad sucksβ. I mean my god, she didnβt do it. I need to release because this shit is pissing me off. *honesty felt like she shouldnβt have even before all this but she did so here we are.

People were pissed at the cost of Eugiene's wedding, it's not just security that's paid for out of public funds but it is the largest portion. And that security portion is paid for out of the local police budget, everything else comes out of the local council budget. Both then reclaim funds from the Home Office special fund ie tax money
As a non working royal, Eugiene is basically a private citizen with a fancy title. People were annoyed that the taxpayers had to pay for a wedding for a private citizen, especially after paying for H&Ms wedding 6 months earlier

I know E didnβt pull in the same $$$ as H&M and W&K, I just wonder how vastly different it was. FTR while I enjoyed the pics, etc... I think her wedding was too much.

I can't remember exactly what, but I thought some more damaging info had come out this summer, which forced the new statement from Prince Andrew. It's true those allegations have been around for long before the girls were engaged or married. And I definitely do not blame or think Bea shouldn't have a fancy wedding because of her Dad. I do think the attention would be pulled away from her somewhat because of Prince Andrew's attendance, and so for that reason, I would imagine wanting to avoid something more extravagant. But who knows, she may just want to more private because it's not important to her to do the whole spectacle. I just like seeing the fancy jewels and dresses.

I think people were more accepting of H&M and W&K because they did actually pull in a lot of revenue. I'd like to see the overall net though because last i read H&M wedding cost around $30mil I doubt E's wedding pulled in a lot of tourist money

I think people are more aware now than during Bβs wedding. Iirc Epstein hadnβt even been arrested yet. and yet the Queen has no problems with the optics of him riding with her to church or doing events for her so......... But this is acting like the entire BRF is a monolith. I feel like thereβs a big difference in how The Queen can choose to protect her son while living a fairly isolated life in old age while B lives a much less sheltered life and probably doesnβt want those types of news stories tied to her wedding day. I mean wasnβt there a blind about someone asking her about Epstein at a party?

people still complained about Eugenies wedding. But asking the public to pay for the wedding for a wealthy debutant who doesnβt even live in the same country is a step further. Especially when people are pissed about misdirection of public funds, a drastically underfunded national health system, and over crowded schools. And for the record I donβt think Eugeine should have had the huge lavish wedding eitherYes this is my point. If you don't care about the optics of one you shouldn't care of the optics of her sister. I again am probably projecting Eugenie is an actual princess. If anyone deserves a pretty-princess-day wedding, it's an actual princess.
I'm not going to begrudge Beatrice one if that's what she wants. Everyone should have the wedding they want. She's not responsible for her parents' behavior and she shouldn't be punished for it.

Even a bun/chignon/French twist with a few loose pieces on either side of her face would be an improvement. She probably would, but then again, she may hate having her hair over her ears or tickling her neck. I do, so my hair is always pulled/held back.

Of course maybe she wanted to skip the carriage ride. If I recal there was a fairly stark difference between the crowds for H&M and for E&J.

I know nothing about Bhutan and their culture so to see it, is fascinating. And I love how they always wear traditional clothes. And then she rocks some serious heels under her dresses.

I love Letiziaβs outfit, totally something Iβd dream about wearing to work. Her skirt is the same as Meghans green one from last year. I think I might like the red better.

I had a *DREAM* about the BRF last night.
Basically I went to B's wedding and sat with the family, then was called up as a last minute witness because B wouldn't let Andrew walk her down the aisle. I got to hang with Harry, and talk mom stuff with Megan. Then I came back here and reported all the tea.

Eugenie is an actual princess. If anyone deserves a pretty-princess-day wedding, it's an actual princess.
I'm not going to begrudge Beatrice one if that's what she wants. Everyone should have the wedding they want. She's not responsible for her parents' behavior and she shouldn't be punished for it.
I mean....I donβt for one second think Beatrice wonβt have a pretty princess day if thatβs what she wants. It just might not have the carriage ride. Itβs still going to be a spectacular wedding. Of course maybe she wanted to skip the carriage ride. If I recal there was a fairly stark difference between the crowds for H&M and for E&J. This is what I've been thinking as I've reading through. Beatrice is most likely going to have a big, fancy wedding. Riding through town on a carriage sounds like a nightmare anyway.

I think Maxima is pretty, but in so many of her pictures I think her hair looks just like mine on an average work day (except mine is shoulder length). And I don't have great hair.
