Attention for those of you who visit this blog
Just to let you know, this blog is not operated by one person only. There are 2 people who operated behind this blog. Here are some clues to answered your confusion:
-LTR initial means LadyTudorRose and SA means SarahAkashiro
-If you ask a question, look at the answers. If it’s formal and well-formed, it was from LadyTudorRose. If it has a sometimes smiley face or a little bit of a childish talk or a little bit of wrong grammar, that was SarahAkashiro
-English was LadyTudorRose 1st language so she’s very good and well-formed in every grammar. But English isn’t SarahAkashiro 1st language so the way I talked was a little bit…childish…
I hope you people understand the differences. And I hope you’ll enjoy the Vintage-Royalty blog
~Thank You~
Is there just one person working this blog? Sorry sometimes I feel like the way you reply changes. Sometimes you seem so formal and professional and other times you have smiley faces and things. I like both ways by the way!!!
That’s Sarah. She’s submitted a lot of pictures so I added her so she can post what she likes. She has some amazing stuff and loves the royals. She’s found a lot of pictures I didn’t even know about. She’s younger than me and English isn’t her first language so she doesn’t write the same way.
What are your favorite instances (good or bad) that the modern British royals (Elizabeth II and up) have done? Like anything Harry/William did? Princess Diana? Prince Charles>
One of my favorite Diana stories is about a time she met a young woman dressed in ‘80’s punk clothes, complete with dyed hair and leather boots. The girl told Diana her mother had thought she was dressed inappropiately, but Diana told her she should wear what she likes.
I also love the story of the young girl who told Kate she thought William and handsome. “I think that too.” Kate said.
Another good story is about how after the Coronation when the Queen came out with her crown. Philip asked her where she got that hat.
If I get out my royal anecdotes book I could do this all day.
I know early in life Queen Elizabeth II was a blonde but as she grew older it darkened to a medium brown (except for in the mid to late 80s where it seemed like she dyed her hair a dark color), but in your post (post/9642441138) she seems to have gone pure blonde for the photo shoot. Did she dye her hair or is that some weird type of photo shop? I know her hair has never been that blonde especially at that age!
I’m not entirely sure. I’ve seen others like that photo as well. It may be the lighting. Philip looks really blond too, but his hair was lighter than hers. Some women are natural brunettes but in the summer their hair lightens a bit naturally and in certain light they look blonde. Emma Watson is a good example of that. She always insisted she never dyed her hair blonde.
I don’t see the Queen having dyed her hair. Perhaps a light rinse to keep it looking a little less gray in the ‘80’s but most women do something like that.
Fun fact of the day: Wallis never said "You can never be too rich or too thin."
It originated from someone else and there’s some debate over exactly who said it first. People think it comes from Wallis because she liked the phrase so much she got it embroidered on a pillow.
