The Royal Mega Thread, Part II

Charles and Camilla look affectionate. William looks like he doesn’t want his wife’s cooties.

Is Chuck shrinking? Or did I simply not realize how short he is?

He is (or was) 5ft10 apparently. William is tall.

I read years ago that Philip said Diana would “breed height into the line” 😆 That it did. And with Kate being tall as well, their kids will eventually tower over Charles.

Apparently, Diana and Chuck were the exact same height, 5'10". She had to wear flats and in the engagement pictures she had to pose one step lower than Chuck. Kate is about Charles' height, in bare feet minus the towering heels, looking at this photo. And at 73 he probably indeed has begun to shrink a bit. Bald Billy must be around 6'2" or 6'3". I think Charles Spencer is about that tall, too.

That was my immediate thought, he must be shrinking if Will is that much taller than him.

It makes me wonder how long he'll be able to enjoy his long-awaited time as king.

^Depends on his health and the reasons for his sausage fingers. On the internet I've read so many armchair physicians possible diagnoses.......

And Cathy *always* wears heels ..

[MsDark]

He used to be 5'10" so I'm guessing he's an inch or 2 shorter now?

I think Will and Harry are at least 6'2".

Dutch Crown Princess moves back into palace due to security concerns

—
Dutch Crown Princess Catharina-Amalia is under heightened security due to concern that she could be targeted by criminals, Dutch news agency ANP reported on Thursday, citing her parents.

“She can hardly leave the house,” ANP quoted Queen Maxima as saying during a state visit to Sweden with her husband, King Willem-Alexander.

Amalia, 18, heir to the Dutch throne, began studying at the University of Amsterdam last month and had moved into an apartment in Amsterdam, but the royal couple now said concerns for her safety have forced her to move back to the Huis ten Bosch royal palace in The Hague.

Last month, several Dutch media outlets reported that the princess, whose formal title is Princess of Orange, was under heightened security due to fears that criminal gangs might target her for kidnapping or an attack.

Dutch police and the country’s secret service have declined to discuss security arrangements around the royal house.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Thursday evening said he could not specify the details of the threats.

Princess Amalia started her politics and economics degree last month and was living in rented accommodation she shared with several other students in Amsterdam before having to move back home.

“This is terrible news, for her in the first place,” Rutte told reporters. “Everyone involved is doing everything possible to make sure she is safe.”

“The consequences are very difficult for her,” ANP quoted Maxima as saying. “There is no student life for her like others have.”

Well, that's certainly how the Royal Family and the Daily Mail are already trying to position it.

Oh, I like that title. I hope he tells all, but I don't know that he'll be as savage as the tabloids believe. All these royal experts ringing their hands are just telegraphing that they know there's a lot of shit Harry could tell.
