    My 89 year-year old Aunty had her funeral service today, the day Dame Maggie passed. These ladies were the same age and although my aunt is not of the stature of Maggie, she published books, travelled the world, served the church up until the week she passed and even acquired a Master of Arts when she was 60! Seems 1934 hatched some stellar ladies. May they both RIP.

    Ha ha, I agree! Dick in Heels always sounded too complimentary. When her 'supporters' {madam} bring up glowing nauseating stories from YEARS ago it doesn't help, just like old pictures from when she was sucking up the goodies and money from the royal family - just look at her today! What a horrid mess and not really trying to cover up her true personality any more. We see her for what she is.
    I love seeing Sophie working hard for the family, but I hope that she gets enough down time and doesn't burn out. She's a gem.

Catherine and Sophie prove that regular people can marry into the Royal Family and become shining stars with duty, honor, and hard work. Too bad Meghan thought she was worthy of the accolades without having to put in the effort.

    The editor of People for the 5 friends is the same editor that's now at US Weekly, so I guess we got 4 past employees and the current PR person. My question is if it was so great why did they only stay for a year. Much of it sounded like it was MM that wrote the text

      I am not sure. There was another version where they said "If you come for our bosses you are coming for for us", I guess meaning that they would defend their bosses and themselves. I am not sure what the original version said, but both are more than possible.
      I found the the whole thing rather creepy. Boss phoning the husband of a staffer on sick leave, every day (?), nope, not good. Staff parties, karaoke, long lunches, second hand baby clothes for expectant staffers (?), nope, that smacks of superiority vibes. They hire the best of the best - experienced, highly intelligent - why in earth would they need nurturing like "seeds"? I would be most indignant if ever a boss of mine had likened to a seed. Apart from that, when do they ever do any work?
      RIP Maggie Smith, a true icon of British film. You will be missed.

    Dearest River awoke this morning in Australia to the sad news of Dame Maggie Smith’s passing on to the theatre in the Sky. Beautiful lady, marvellously talented & “they don’t make ‘em” with such craft anymore. Valè the final curtain call Dame Maggie Smith RIP 🪽🙏🏻🪽💐. I listened to the poem recital & ended in floods of tears such depth of passion rarely heard in this modern world. Thank you. Although my hubby wondered why I suddenly burst into tears as I’m not one to fall on the floor sobbing. You looked a vision in virtuous violet. Take care all the basketeers. 😘💐🦘🐨🇦🇺

    I love the account of miss uppetty getting caught up while rehearsing for their wedding dismounting from a car at the bottom of the chapel steps, a police officer body guard went to help her and she rudely admonished him so later at the real event he stood back and watched as she wrestled to get out, a nice bit of karma hehehe 😂😂

      It happened on the actual wedding day. The gentleman usher held out his arm to assist her, as her heel had become caught in the hem of her dress upon exiting the car. She slaps his hand away and says something nasty. It is on their wedding dvd and the footage can be found on you-tube.

    Thank you, dearest River for your loving and moving tribute to an extraordinary woman and talent. A shining star of the UK, beloved all over the world. One can only hope to pass as she did, after a full and beautiful life, surrounded by love. Thank you also for also featuring the REAL Royals, Princess Anne and Sophie the Duchess of Edinburgh. They are gems in the Royal crown and true servants of the people. "This One's" wife, well, she does not deserve to be in the same paragraph, so I close my comment gladly. Cheers to all in the fruit basket, from Canada.

    I loved Dame Maggie. She was and will always remain one of the greats. She was such a gorgeous woman all the way through her 70 year career.
    Professor McGonagall brought her to the younger generation . Which I'm sure confounded her.
    She will be missed.
    Unlike megatwat. If she disappeared forever no one would care.
    The latest puff peace on how kind she is just pathetic. It made her look condescending af. I don't want her hand me downs . Pay me what I'm worth and stop acting like lady bountiful with your used crap.

      If these comments are true (which I doubt), they reveal a very odd relationship between Meghan and her staff. (Harry, as usual, is absent when actual work production is being discussed.)
      Few highly-qualified professionals would feel the need to be "watered" or "parented." What no one says much about is Meghan's actual managerial skills. Few people talked about these skills, or the lack thereof.
      Maybe if there were less karaoke and ice cream and more actual work happening, substantial projects would get out the door.
