The Wedding, some before pics.

Yes - I'm certain that they are - but still much too stuffy and formal to suit me. Can you picture a couple of dogs sleeping in the same bed as a royal, or dirty dishes in the sink, or cat litter adorning the floor around the litter box?? Heaven forbid!!!!

Don't know if this is true but I remember reading that the corgis did have a place on the queen's bed. Not all of them I imagine but who knows the way she dotes on them. Apparently those little royal corgis have the run of the living quarters, and I bet they have not a clue who they really are...our dogs probably have the same sense of importance as they do

Hmmmmm....no, I couldn't picture that stuff either.
I've been trying to picture Charles and Camilla in the privacy of their bedroom, but nothing comes to mind.

The real question here is, "Is the Royal Doggies Pooper Scooper made of platinum or gold ???"

I just got a chill up my spine just getting a mental picture of that!!! I'm SO glad that William looks like his mother. Harry, the poor kid, was cursed with his Dad's ears.

Wom,

Yes, it is great to see how the other half live. And I laughed when someone posted about tossing a slipper at an alarm clock.

I'll take my little "hole" apartment over their stuffiness any day!!!!

Never gave that one a second thought..perhaps they have a trained seagull that just gobbles it. But I would imagine gold . Mine is a plain sheet metal, made by hubby, works quite well. I've used it daily for years and it's still as good as new.

Yer too late. Prince Phillip is already married

Ewwwwwwwwwwww!

What made me laugh was the idea of seeing a cat litter box in one of these grand rooms - with some litter scattered across the carpet.

Thanks goodness the Royals do have "private rooms" - can you imagine if we all got to see them and pick those apart too.

I for one, enjoy seeing the palace rooms and the beautiful paintings. If life was all vanilla it would be very boring.

Now Charles and Camilla in their bedroom????? I think I will just close the door on that one.

Thanks Wom for the post!

WoW what a place.. I could not even imagine.. Yup Wom your notation is very correct..

Yeah, but you paid for your shack, they don't even pay for lunch

[wombat2u2004]

If Charles and Camilla had a child ????

[lvpets2002]

Oh lets hope they dont have a child.. I do think the pic is too good..

Thank you, you dear, sweet, wonderful man for posting those great pictures. Oh I miss England so..
I love every single itty bitty second I was there. I toured Westminster Abbey and it was so grand, so holy, so historic, so INCREDIBLE. I spent hours and hours there by myself soaking up all the beauty and wonder and history of this incredible wonder.
I stood in front of tombs and said prayers, wondered what their life was like, marveled at their strength and courage oh so long ago. What it meant to live in 1304 and be near sighted, have a tooth ache, a broken bone, an eye infection, lice, childbirth, never having a shower or a really clean home but risking your life and freedom for your country to make it better and stronger. Amazing people. To write laws, fight in a war, no pain meds, no idea of how to heal a cut or a sword wound but they went on to fight for England. Amazing souls. To write such beautiful poetry, paint such incredible paintings, to build the Abby and other such buildings. All the man power with shovels and bare hands.............. The workers probably didn't have shoes, maybe never a decent meal, maybe something as simple as a fresh orange in their life but they worked and worked to create such beauty that we marvel and are in awe a thousand years later. The castles, burgs, Abbys are a testamont to what man can do with grace and goodness, talent and hard work. Their beauty is greater then most of us have ever seen and it is truly a work of art as is a great painting. It is a legacy they have built not just for their children but for hundreds of generations to come and hundreds more, a place to worship and come together, a place of beauty and refinment a place of goodness and a place that holds the souls of many who changed the world.
Westminster Abby how I adore thy.

Oh and yes if I could live in such amazing beauty as these rooms I would.
The beauty of the artwork is breathtaking as is thee detail of every little nook and cranny. I so admire all the hard work in these beautiful rooms.
If I could live with gold, crystal and satin why not? Why should beauty not surround me?
People with money, real money own these kinds of homes too. Because they are beautiful.
If you have not been in one of these rooms, well you can't understand. The picture does not do in justice, it does not evoke a feeling. One needs to be in a room such as these and then yes the feeling comes over you.
Sort of like explaning the beauty of a cat to a person who has never seen one, there are no words to discribe the voice, the sweetness, the love, those faces. I could go on but really unless you have been there, you can't grasp it.

I am sure the White House has some incredible interiors too so don't throw stones! I think these pictures are wonderful! I am sure the corgis occasionally pee on the carpets and I am sure they sleep on the beds and sofas in Buck House

WOW!!... TOO grand and highly decorated! It would be amazing living there, but, then, its comfier and kinda better living where you live. I think my home is comfier! I would feel...creeped out at night.. And if I really did live here...my room would be like an acre long! Beautiful but, eh..I'm happy with my home. And the couple's pictures are all over the place. When it ends, all the parties etc. I'll be glad the magazine covers have something new!

[Bonny]

The place looks really grand. I wonder if I could get a job there running the carpet sweeper, dusting the furniture, cleaning the windows, changing the kitty litter? I promise I would not break or steal anything just work as directed. Maybe get to wear an old lady maids uniform too.
