They will name him after the men's champion

From your lips to God's ears. Nathan would go nicely with Alexander and Gabriel!

Actually Michael would also, if Kolyada wins, but I'm a Nathan fan, so, yeah, lol.

How non-royal

Everyone knows that the proper place for a royal to be born is on the kitchen table.

They named him after Julian Yee instead

That must be so uncomfortable for the person giving birth. (Both places, actually).

I like the trend of royalty taking and publishing high-quality family photographs. Carl Philip's portrait of Julian is a winner.

Chiming in with some sad news, I’m afraid to say that a regular contributor to these threads, Lorac passed away last week.

Oh no... thanks for letting us know, Sharpie.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

RIP, Lorac. Peace to your family.

 

[canbelto]

Wow that is sad. RIP Lorac

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

May she rest in peace, free of the cares of this world.

 

[Simone411]

So sorry to hear this. My condolences to her family and friends.

Goodness, sad news. Condolences to her loved ones.

Thanks for sharing Sharpie, a lot of us will miss her

Weird that I woke up this morning thinking of FSUers I used to see around a lot in the past and wondering what's happened to them all, especially during these times.

His memory WILL be a blessing. Much sadness.

This is a wonderful, warm, and often funny look at Prince Philip

The famous 1969 documentary 'Royal Family'
Watch it while you can! I think it's utterly charming and BBC should remaster it and show it again.

 

[floskate]

Thank you so much for this. I can't think why the Queen doesn't want this aired again, they all come across really well, particularly her and Philip. So interesting to watch after the last week and seeing them work alongside each other all those years ago. Grab it while you can!!

I really like Kate but the Saint Kate narrative lately is really getting old. So if William & Harry talk to each other that Kate's peacemaking? Sheesh!

I haven't seen anything like that. Maybe you should reconsider your information sources perhaps we should all follow Queen Margrethe's lead!

[canbelto]

It's not Saint Kate but I did notice that Kate specifically next to Harry after the services and then seemed to make eye contact with William and stepped back so the brothers could talk.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Kate isn't a saint but boy howdy, she is good at her job. She looked absolutely regal at the funeral.

 

[Jenny]

I know it's a sad occasion, but they all dressed so beautifully, the men and the women. Kate's choice of jewels and her dress, Camilla always in a nice hat.

It occurs to me, I might have this wrong, but I think Prince Edward now becomes the Duke of Edinburgh?

ETA - just looked into it, apparently Charles automatically inherits the title (as we know not all titles are hereditary though) but as I thought it's been promised to Edward by the Queen, and of course he has been very much involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Award program. Some articles say he will get the title "eventually." I suspect it will be sooner than later, can't see why the Queen or Charles wouldn't want him to have it.
