Very lovely.  Although she's still a child and maybe a bit too young for this kind of headdress, the appearance of this young girl was most delightful every day - and much better than many of the adults'.

And with regard to Fergie - I am quite sure that Bea and Eug will never - never - never age that badly. So coming generations will be spared that kind of devastated sights.

So, Eugenie is the Queen Mum incarnate
And  Bea is  Queen Victora.
I wonder what HM and Andrew think about that. He has always been her favorite.

You can say what you want about Fergie, but she can't be blamed for stupid cosmetic surgeries and overuse of botox and fillers as some other royals.

Agree with everyone who says that there isn't anything to read into the Queen being at Ascot,  and not with Phillip.

As someone who has had extended hospital stays,  I can tell you that sometimes it can be tiring having people around.  I mean,  here the nurses are telling you to rest, while every 2 hours they are checking your vitals, and changing your IV. Add in having family and friends there, and it can be miserable.

I could be wrong but IIRC, she did have a (bad and obvious) facelift, but it was many years ago. Her face is a wreck now, but I assume it's due to too much sun/alcohol/nicotine.

After all these years Fergie still has no idea how to behave properly.

One can see that she lived a life in her face. Good or bad

Royalfan, you made a point here! 

I loathe cosmetic surgeries and overuse of treatment, and I think it's sad that animated faces with traces of a lived life will rarely be seen in particular circles anymore.

But if her life wouldn't have been so unsteady, if she had taken more care of herself and lived in a healthier way, she would look not so rough, but just ... nicer! 

That's why I am predicting her daughters aging in a more gentle way. Their lives could be happier and more consistent than their mother's.

Agree, I have a weird soft spot for Fergie.
Her daughters and ex husband seem to love her

Every year I put a motivational picture on the mirror to remind me to use sunscreen especially in summer.
I cropped and printed this photo as this year's reminder that it only takes a few minutes to apply.
It's my daily nudge.
  ...and wear sunglasses too.

my fav of Eugenie

Yes, that's my fav of Eugenie too. (But even if she dresses weirdly, I like her. She is one of my favourite royals. I could could cuddle her ...)
