Ok, since there seems to be the need to discuss members of the BRF who are either senior working members or non-working members and not in the immediate family of KCIII or they are aristocrats related to BRF, I decided to create this thread. I would've been happy having these people discussed in the European royalty thread since UK is part of Europe but it might be clearer to have a separate thread. The admins of course have the power to decide whether this thread is a good idea.

This thread would cover those Brit royals who do not already have their own thread. Am I right in that the ones who have their own already are KCIII & Queen Camilla, The Waleses, The Yorks (or technically Andrew), The Edinburghs (I assume this also includes their children), Harry and Meghan, not sure of Princess Anne? Anyway, I don't think it's a bad thing if someone wants to talk about Bea and Eug or the Tindalls in this one even if their parents have a thread. Does this make any sense?

I propose that this thread would be the place to discuss events, fashion and whatever else you might like in relation to this topic. The idea is to keep the other threads from veering into off topic discussion. I also hope to secure a stamp of approval from the admins for this thread. Thanks and happy chatting!


***MOD NOTE: Beatrice and Eugenie each have their own threads

No new details really on the death of Lady Gabriella Kingston's (daughter of Prince Michael of Kent) husband Thomas other than that he died at his parents' house in Cotswolds. I don't like the tone these articles are taking now, they seem to imply dreadful things. I hope the truth is something else than implied.

Thomas Kingston friends in shock say he was 'happily married until the end'

The financier and former hostage negotiator was described by a friend as being ‘happy and positive as ever’ when he attended an event on Wednesday last week
www.mirror.co.uk www.mirror.co.uk

The main thing I'm getting from all these articles is that they were happy and nothing seemed to be wrong and then he suddenly passed away.

Thomas Kingston died at parents' £3m mansion

Lady Gabriella Windsor's husband tragically died on Sunday evening at his parents' mansion in Gloucestershire.

Thank you for creating this thread @pomeline. I was thinking the upcoming wedding of the Duke of Westminster would fit nicely in this new thread.

Ooh, I had completely missed this one so I had to take a look because I love weddings.

Here we reveal everything you need to know about the nuptials of Hugh Grosvenor, 7th Duke of Westminster, to gourmet food firm executive Olivia Henson in June, in Chester Cathedral.

I have to admit I had no idea the bride had studied here.

The Grosvenors have awesome tiaras (even though they've sold several) so I am hoping the bride will wear one of them in June... :loveeyes:

This one, The Faberge Cyclamen Tiara is apparently owned by Hugh now. Not sure how I feel about it.

Thank you pomeline, it’s nice to have a thread where we can include the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, happily married for 52 years, hard working Royals who receive scant attention for their dedicated service. When I saw the picture of Birgette standing along side Queen Camilla handing out awards recently I wanted to comment how graciously she “fit” but didn’t know where to post it without risking going off topic.IMG_4056.pngIMG_4058.png
