Fan Lord said: Bad things are a basket
This week, the British royal family held a memorial service for Prince Philip. This is the biggest event of the British royal family this year, and it also makes up for the regret that the funeral could not be held because of the epidemic last year.
At Westminster Abbey in London, a souvenir of Philippe was played live to mourn from the perspective of his family members.
The memorial service, which brought together important members of the Royal Family from the British Crown to other European countries, was commemorated by 1,800 people at Westminster Abbey (only 30 at last year's funeral), including representatives of charities sponsored by the Prince such as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
The 95-year-old Queen, with the support of her son Andrew, appeared at Westminster Abbey that day. This is the first time the Queen has officially made an appearance since the covid-19 infection in February, leaving the previous rumors to be dispelled. However, the scandal-ridden Prince Andrew accompanied him throughout the process, and also stood with the queen in the C position, which also caused a lot of controversy.
Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and William Kate, all of whom are all present as small families.
Princess Charlotte, who is about to turn 7, has become the youngest guest in the audience. Seeing herself appear on the screen, she also made a small grimace
The kings, queens and princes of Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Monaco and most other European royal families have personally come to mourn. It also includes Prince Hassan and Princess Sawat, who came from far away from Jordan
There is also Boris, who made a stride to the meteor, walked out of the momentum of six relatives who did not recognize, and once again because of a messy hair on the hot search...
Although the entire European royal family is "fully assembled", in addition to this grand event, it is still difficult to hide the decline of the British royal family. The Queen's health is in jeopardy, Harry's wayward absence, Kate William has just run into diplomatic wall... The bad things of the queen and her children did not stop for almost a moment.
The Queen appeared
Sad and weeping, the body is not as good as before
Wear dark green in honor of Prince Philip
At the memorial service, the 95-year-old queen chose a dark green coat with dark red velvet locks at the neckline and cuffs, and even the hat echoed, and with her beloved Launer handbag, it was still a "familiar recipe".
The reason for choosing this color is also quite meaningful. Because dark green was once the official color of the Duke of Edinburgh (Philip's title during his lifetime), it was also known as "Edinburgh Green".
The Queen, who painted light makeup, deliberately wore her beloved "Scarab Brooch" on her chest, a gift from Prince Philip in 1966. This meaningful elaborate dressing is also the best memorial to the deceased husband
In addition to the Queen, Princess Anne, queen of Spain, and Camilla also wore "Edinburgh Green", with black high heels and top hats.
Among them, the green coat dress after Lai should be newly customized. The cut is silky and delicate, with velvet trims at the waist and cuffs, and a Balel decorative hat that is also dark green on the head.
At the scene, the queen was in tears all the time, and she wiped her tears darkly, and it could be seen that she missed Prince Philip very much.
Also in tears was Princess Beatrice, who wept and covered up with a souvenir book in her hand. Her relationship with her grandfather Philip is very close, and it should be touching the scene. The husband on the side also gave comfort after seeing it.
Charles, 74, also wiped away tears several times. Let Lord Fan think of the old prince who cried at his father's funeral last year and his eyes were red and swollen.
Health is not as good as before, and the naked eye can see aging
Although the queen seemed to be in good spirits, her health was indeed much worse than before, and she was almost too weak to attend her husband's memorial service.
It is said that she made a lot of preparations for this event, on the one hand, she refused to use a wheelchair, wanting to retain her dignity and dignity, and on the other hand, she was trying to recuperate her body. Fortunately, when she appeared, she always maintained the same decency as always, and was praised by the British media as "tough and courageous".
In order to make the queen comfortable, the entire ceremony was also limited to 40 minutes, and the queen's seat was also cushioned. However, when singing the hymn, she stood up with everyone and sang all the lyrics in its entirety.
Over the years, the queen can be said to have grown old visibly. Needing support, walking on crutches and being emaciated and frail, this is the first time in nearly six months that she has held an important official event outside her home, last on October 14 last year.
When she received senior royal navy officers at Windsor Castle before, she also held crutches the whole time, and for the first time admitted that she "couldn't walk".
During this time, she has been using Prince Philip's crutch, and it is inevitable that she will see things and think of people.
At Philip's funeral last year, the queen sat alone near the altar, looking lonely and moving.
The death of her husband, Prince Philip, was the biggest blow to her in the past two years. The two have been happily married since before the queen ascended the throne, experienced ups and downs together, and spent diamond marriage together, and their feelings are naturally very deep.
And this time, the Queen once again invited Prince Philip's former "confidante" Lord Pennie Romsé. Although she had an unclear relationship with the prince, the generous queen invited her.
Kate William is eye-catching in her dress, but her visits are full of walls
Kate dressed as the focal point, and Charlotte was well-behaved like a queen
At this memorial service, william Kate's family once again became one of the focal points. In particular, Kate's elegant black Look of the day was not only generous and decent, but also became the focus of the camera chase again.
The black polka dot dress is from British brand Alessandra Rich and costs £1495. The details such as the mid-to-high neck, puff sleeves, and pleated skirt are very colorful, quite in the style of the 70s. Kate paired it with Gianvito Rossi black heels and a Russell & Bromley camel clutch, and it was a perfect score overall
Kate's hat is also fashionably chosen, from British brand Lock & Co, with a black woven brim and feather trim, which costs £775. Paired with Diana's pearl earrings, it's exquisite
There was one detail on the scene that impressed Fan: when the queen passed by her, Kate subconsciously performed a knee-bending salute, while the others did not even react. Over the years, her etiquette cultivation has become more and more successful
BTW: Black has always been the safest color for funerals and memorial services. In addition to Kate, the Queen of Denmark, the Queen of the Netherlands, Princess Beatrice and many others have chosen black.
Many men also chose black double-breasted suits, including Beatrice's husband Eduardo, the Queen's son Prince Edward, and Princess Anne's husband, which is more neat and orthodox.
Not only Kate, But Prince George and Princess Charlotte also became "little protagonists" that day. William with two children, as well as Charles, both chose the blue color representing the British royal family, and the line is very striking.
Prince George, who wears a suit and tie, has grown tall again (but his expression has become melancholy), not only wearing a "father-son suit" with his father, but even looking very similar to William when he was a child.
Princess Charlotte is becoming more and more "queen aura", and even her appearance is more and more similar to her grandmother.
Charlotte was decent and generous throughout the process, and was praised by the media from her demeanor to her dress.
The exotic little coat comes from Amaia Kids, a classic style of double-breasted + navy blue, which costs £140; the interior Scottish checkered dress is £170, and the blue + green is a perfect tribute to Grandpa Prince Philip.
BTW: The elegant, chic blue is indeed very noble, and it makes many of the royal ladies at this funeral stand out.
The visit was dissed, and there was a crisis in the future succession
Before mourning Prince Philip, Kate and William had just returned from the Caribbean and had been arguably non-stop.
The pomp and circumstance of That William Kate's visit was not small, and Kate changed 16 Looks in 6 days, earning enough eyes.
However, even with their glamorous appearance, their trip to the Caribbean was overshadowed from the beginning and was embarrassing the whole time. For example, everywhere the two people went, there were protests, and local residents of Belize even directly said "Prince William, please get out of here".
Prior to Jamaica, the local government also planned to initiate a process intending to promote the country as a republic, to revoke the Queen's status as head of state and to make a claim against the British Government over the colony. Let William Kate hit the muzzle of the gun directly on this trip.
The Prime Minister of Jamaica said in front of William and Kate: "Although our people are very enthusiastic, there are some problems that you have not solved", "In the future, Jamaica will become an independent country." ”
As soon as the prime minister diss came out, Kate's expression was as follows, and the capital "heart plug" was written on the face...
Jamaica is also not the first country in the Caribbean to "expel the Queen", and last year Rihanna's home country, Barbados, abolished the Queen's status as head of state and became a republic. Charles also went to the independence ceremony, only to be photographed with a tired and drowsy face...
Not only were they snubbed, William and Kate also suffered from various "pry crises.". For example, during her time in Belize, a photo of Kate shaking hands with the crowd across the barbed wire fence was on the hot search because it looked too much like a "prison visit".
Her next move was even more labeled "racist". At that time, a passionate local wanted to take her hand, but she kept dodging and finally drew her hand back.
William Kate was originally entrusted by the queen at that time, wanting to take the opportunity of the 70th anniversary of the throne to stabilize the country that wanted to "withdraw from the group", but did not expect that the grandson and granddaughter-in-law had become "gas bags", after all, the times and public opinion have changed.
Many media believe that the Commonwealth kingdoms headed by the Queen can still maintain the monarchy, many of which are out of respect for the Queen, and once the Queen dies, I am afraid that it will trigger a larger "tide of brexit", after all, neither Charles nor William can have the prestige to match the Queen.
Charles and William are still like this, not to mention the third generation of heirs. Recently, the British media reported that William and Kate rarely brought George to an event alone, and there was a body movement expert analysis, William has been guiding George, seemingly intentionally training him into the role of the future king.
However, some media feel that they are not optimistic, compared to the fall of his sister Princess Charlotte, George is obviously more restrained and nervous in public, and many netizens also think that Charlotte is more suitable for being a queen...
Harry Andrew caused controversy over the lack of presence, scandal-ridden brush presence
Harry refused to attend Grandpa's memorial service
The British royal family has been in trouble for the past two years, in fact, it is really due to the following two people.
One is Harry. At this memorial service for Prince Philip, only his figure was missing, and he only showed a picture in the documentary.
Grandpa's memorial service, the grandson refused to attend, which also made Harry once again the target of the media. A squire of Prince Philip publicly denounced Harry:
Prince Philip was their grandfather, and all was a sad excuse. If Harry is really worried about safety, he can be with his brother and father, they are all very safe, and he will be very safe.
Since his grandfather's death, Harry has not returned to England except to attend a funeral and unveil a portrait of Diana. Earlier this year, Charles's invitation to Harry to return to Britain was rejected because he felt he and his wife and children were not adequately protected.
It turned out that after Harry withdrew from the royal family, the British government withdrew its 24-hour security obligation to him, and it is said that he wanted to pay for his own pocket and ask the government to be his own security, but the government refused on the grounds that "it is not a matter of money". Unexpectedly, Because of this, Harry directly threatened to sue the British government. He also told his family that "without security, I will not take my family back to the UK." ”
At this memorial service, Harry also refused to return to China on the grounds of lack of security, and only appeared in the funeral documentary. And after quitting the royal family, he is everywhere hostile to the royal family, and he plans to continue to expose the autobiography at the end of this year, Harry's childhood life, military career, marriage to Megan, etc., will be mentioned in the book, and it is possible to point the finger at his stepmother Camilla. A former member of the royal family said it would be the "ultimate betrayal" of the queen.
Andrew accompanied the queen to the scene to cause controversy
What should come is not to appear, should not be high-profile but angry brush sense of existence. At this memorial service, the queen appeared accompanied by Prince Andrew, which caused a lot of controversy.
Andrew not only drove the queen to the church the whole time, after the ceremony, he also accompanied the queen out of the church and drove back to Windsor Castle together. It seems that the scandal of a basket still has not shaken Andrew's status as the "most favored son" in the queen's heart.
You know, in addition to Harry, another person in the British royal family who loves to poke Lou Zi is Andrew.
His sexual assault lawsuit once upset the royal family, spending £12 million inside and out to reach a settlement, and he has long been nominally "purged out of the royal family". As a result, this time he actually accompanied the queen to a memorial service and sat firmly in an important position in the children's seat, which was also very puzzling.
Although the relationship between the Queen and Andrew has obviously "warmed up" a lot in recent times. Because the Queen usually lives in Windsor Castle, not far from Andrew's Royal Villa. During his illness, it was Andrew who often went to take care of it...
But many royal experts believe it's common sense to invite Andrew to a father's memorial service, but it's another thing to have him play such an important role as the queen's entourage. Therefore, many media speculated that this was actually the queen using her own way of expression: although he messed up, he was still my son.
However, according to sources, people, including Charles and William, expressed "disappointment" in this move. It is enough to see that the relationship between brothers and uncles and nephews is not as good as before. And as Charles inherits the throne in the future, the estrangement is likely to only deepen.
Not only did he cause controversy over the "strong stand C position" at the memorial service, Andrew recently stabbed another Lou Zi: involved in a fraud case.
According to British media reports, a Turkish wealthy woman contacted Andrew and her ex-wife Sarah Ferguson through an intermediary and said she was willing to pay £750,000 to help herself come to live in the UK. Unexpectedly, Andrew's side received money, and the intermediary there was accused of defrauding the rich woman of 40 million pounds. Although Andrew returned the money, he has not made any statements at this time.
At present, if the British royal family wants to get out of the haze of various scandals, I am afraid it will take a long time. The upcoming celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne is not a turning point.
Okay, that's it for today. What do you think, welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss with everyone oh ~
