The Queen must really approve of & like Meghan to have her at that event with her. It was unnecessary so how wonderful! I am sure all of the royals realize that Meghan has experience, skills & a wonderful way with people & the media that can really help them. I think it will be a mutually beneficial & enjoyable relationship for all. Can't wait to see more of them. & super excited to see Meghan & Kate interact. What fun for the 4 of them to be such a team!<br /><br />And... thanks, Charlotte, for all these posts!

And imagine the speculation and PR that would cause. <br /><br />Meghan has moved across the pond and it's only right that she is allowed to join Harry on Christmas. I think the decision is a combination of logical move, grandmother's love, and a bit of harsh reality (yes, PP's age).<br /><br />Regarding the Christmas party, me thinks it was the perfect opportunity to have a princess lesson without a photographer in sight. ;-)royalfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828752698849878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-12651297012073990212017-12-15T01:46:17.764+00:002017-12-15T01:46:17.764+00:00counting the days, BethNY. :) counting the days, BethNY. :) surfer girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655593111136213050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-20136461597243555632017-12-15T00:43:27.130+00:002017-12-15T00:43:27.130+00:00Eve - It is very good you posted to let us know th...Eve - It is very good you posted to let us know that you are OK.

If we are going to get just tidbits of where MM has been, the reporters of such sightings can at least a little info, like dress color. :) I bet it looked terrific. I predicted a maroon goat at Christmas but burgundy is more her color. What is so delightful is that I feel no guilt in looking for sightings of MM compared with Kate. I believe Kate is a marvelous and kind person, but she has not had to create herself like MM did. I don't think she enjoys the public role so much, which is fine. Evidently the Queen feels most comfortable around MM; I wish I could see MM with Prince Philip.Allison in USnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-36259910291202328002017-12-14T21:47:00.643+00:002017-12-14T21:47:00.643+00:00Yes Surfer Girl, you are correct.

I have no idea of course but part of me has always assumed that once Charles is King he may completely change the celebrations at Christmas.

I had to ...I´m still alive - so nothing to worry...<br />I had to bow out of commenting, though, at least for a while. I´ve stopped commenting over at DKB a while ago (with one or two relapses which I immediately regretted) and even stopped reading the comments altogether. I´m just tired of the same KIND of discussions over and over again. When it started over here as well (after we´ve had very much a "fun" and "uplifting" spirit here), I had to take a step back and see whether it would go back to being something that mostly brings me joy (like that "wonder-ful" - in the very best sense of the word! - journey surfer girl and I "embarked on", taking us from Harry´s proposal during the Invictus Games to both of us being able to attend the wedding, clad in the very best designs our super-talented stylists had chosen for us!! That was PURE BLISS!!) - or not.<br />Maybe it´s because of my personal situation which still hasn´t improved - I´m just craving for "positiveness", "upbeating", "energizing" at the moment. Meghan is giving me exactly that. "Rejoicing" and "being excited" TOGETHER about this journey of hers is what I came looking here for.... Maybe if and when my personal situation has changed I will be able to "weather" any discussion about "Meghan leaving one of her dogs behind" and "Meghan´s best friend (really???)telling how she REALLY (really??) is" again - just not now... I´m too exhausted!<br />Still, I wanted to let you know I love you all and I´m still reading all your comments here - and I still LOVE and ADMIRE your work, dearest Charlotte! You are amazing!

The corgis are not the only ones who took instantly to Meghan it seems. Meghan helped the Queen greet the Royal Household already. I mean Meghan helped the Queen greet the Royal Household, lol. Practical for sure but super amazing nonetheless, yeh?<br />And, according to Richard Kay, formality at the Royal Household party was kept to a minimum and there were handshakes instead of curtsies and Harry even let Meghan go on her own and greet her side of the room by herself. <br />Richard Kay said that as Meghan shook each hand she asked the person their name and asked what their job was. He said that Harry and Meghan were also at Windsor Castle last weekend. Again, who knew? Quite a trustworthy group there at the castle, yeh? <br />But how do they travel from one place to another and not get papped?<br /><br />Somebody pinch me, lol.

The Queen most likely realizes that with her age and certainly Prince Phillips's age. that this could likely be one of their last Christmases together as a family. With that in mind, protocol and tradition can be set aside for practical reasons.<br /><br />As the family expands, the guest list has changed. For example, there is no longer room for minor royals like Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. When Charles becomes King, I assume things will change even further. Perhaps Camilla will be able to have her own children and grandchildren to stay. Others like Sarah Chatto and the new Earl of Snowden and their families may be excluded to make room. Who knows what will happen. I wish Meghan well and I hope that she adjusts to life as a Royal which will not be easy.BethNYnoreply@blogger.com
