Ya'll Thailand is a hot mess right now and this was just like "what?!" when the alert came through. Protestors there are literally risking their lives and 15 years+ of jail time asking for reforms. My family uses such coded language for fear of being arrested in all of their communications.

Found this photo rather interesting. The story is always how unhappy Charlene is and she wants to run away. But here they look pretty comfortable with each other.

I'm sorry your family has to live with such a real fear of arrest for just communication.

And a new family photo I'll be the UO here and say I really like the dress. I like dropped waists (my wedding dress had one) and even though I don't think this would look good on me, I like it a lot.

I don’t like Letizia’s shoes with the outfit. Otherwise, I like the ensemble. I couldn't decide if it was the shoes or the fact that the pants were wider than I like for ankle length.
I love ankle length pants when they are tight to the ankle
This is my problem too. I love flats with skinny ankle pants!

I wonder if we’ll get pics of George and Charlotte going back to school on Monday and how it’ll be handled with covid, if there’ll be the normal press pool or maybe just pics by Kate

I’m probably late to the party, but H and I just started watching this: And it is very good. Old Korea royalty story, with a side of zombies. Basically a mashup of my two favorite genres. 😆 Lots of eye candy from the palaces and grounds to the costumes (and the Crown Prince is pretty nice too). Do recommend!

Sending good thoughts for the safety of your family.

If you get into Kdramas, I have a whole list you should watch. Asian dramas are my jam, I love how much easier they have been to watch in the US for the last 5 years.

easier you had me at eye candy. Some of the buildings are so gorgeously decorated and just the architecture is beautiful. And I keep saying to H, “Ooh I like their robes. Ohh I like his hat. Ohhhh look at the Queen’s hair!!” And then there’s really graphic gorey zombie scenes to keep you on your toes. 😆

Although I prefer the sappy romance comedies over the drama. It's like an hour of fluff. Plus the clothes are almost always fabulous. And everyone is pretty much always gorgeous.

Oops... Harry and Meghan’s Netflix deal scuppers Invictus bash For the wounded servicemen and women whom the Duke of Sussex calls “my heroes”, it was to be a global celebration of their achievements and a financial lifeline for the Invictus Games. But a starry fundraiser that the duke and duchess were to attend for the Paralympic-style competition founded by Prince Harry has been cancelled abruptly after their Netflix deal, thought to be worth $100m (£75m). The music and comedy show was scheduled to take place next June in California, where the Sussexes now live, following the next Invictus Games at The Hague, Holland. The Hollywood Bowl had been earmarked as a venue and the event was to be streamed by Amazon, with stars including Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran in the running. www.thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-and-meghans-netflix-deal-scuppers-invictus-bash-38kt5k6sc

I love learning about how intertwined all European royalty is and who is related to who. When I googled this Maria, there are at least 3 Maria's in the family line and "Maria the younger" (as she was referred) is the cousin of Prince Philip. Eta- the one in the picture is "Maria the elder"

The current book I'm reading is The Family Romanov by Candace Fleming. It's a really good read where it has sections about how extravagant and fun their lives are while also printing rewrites of letters written by all the people in poverty and their struggles. And I don't think I realized before reading it that Tsar Nicolas' wife Alexandra is Queen Victoria's granddaughter.

Like why does the Netflix deal cause it to be cancelled?

Like why does the Netflix deal cause it to be cancelled? Generally there’s a clause that you can’t make content for the competition. Which is why there’s speculation as to why the Amazon fundraiser was canceled right after the Netflix deal.

Now the official reason is covid, because the concert next summer can't take place. I have doubts.
