On 4 August 1980, Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother with her two daughters, Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret, wore matching Hardy Amies blue satin jackets for the official photographs commemorating her 80th birthday, captured by Norman Parkinson.

Princess Margaret remembered: “We three laughed all the time, even for that photograph. She could convulse us all with her imitations. There was that play, Crown Matrimonial, about the Abdication. I shall never forget her imitation of the actress imitating her!”

'Her Majesty and I discussed different ideas for the photographs. I suggested that Annie should keep things simple and that the shoot should be informal, based around The Queen and her family. I suggested four photographs that should be taken at Windsor Castle: The Queen with His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh; The Queen with all of her great-grandchildren; The Queen with her corgis; and one of The Queen and her daughter, The Princess Royal. I felt that The Queen hadn't been photographed often enough with her daughter and, as I have a daughter myself, I thought it would make a special photo for them to share as mother and daughter. The Queen wholeheartedly agreed.'

‘The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe’ by Angela Kelly (2019).

“It is hard to tell which is worse; the wide diffusion of things that are not true, or the suppression of things that are true.” - Harriet Martineau, the first female sociologist, abolitionist, and x4 great aunt of The Princess of Wales.

We took a couple of bottles of water with us and something to nibble on because it was quite a longish trip. But, to be honest, we could only have taken a drink from a bottle while we were going over the Forth Bridge where there weren't any people.

Princess Anne recalling how it was near-impossible for her and her husband Sir Tim Laurence to touch any refreshments in the car for fear of appearing disrespectful while escorting Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin from Balmoral to Edinburgh.

----------On this day, 89 years ago...-------

In 1935, King George V and Queen Mary were the first British monarchs to celebrate a Silver Jubilee.

...George V and his wife Mary were so close that in his silver jubilee speech in 1935, George admitted that "he owed everything to her".

something from the book i so wish had been in the tbosas movie is the way snow thinks lucy gray is below him...and the fact that he never grows out of it (which doesn't mean he doesn't like her, he just also kind of despises her and people like her). when i reread the book i had just seen killers of the flower moon and snow and lucy gray's relationship was very reminiscent of ernest and mollie's relationship for me like when king hale asks ernest "can you stand [mollie's] kind?" even though their kind were doing unspeakable things to her kind? snow and lucy gray's relationship is very much like that to me and there's also the power he has over her by literally being responsible for her life and idk i feel like if you only watch the movie you can delude yourself into thinking he's somewhat overcome his prejudice against people from the districts by falling in love with a girl who isn't from the capitol when he never does he thinks they're savages from day 1 to day like 60 and he thinks it on day 55 too

#it's like this racial thing kind of which is why it really reminded me of killers of the flower moon because yeah that's a movie about #white people marrying into native families and killing them and inheriting their money and about leonardo dicaprio's character poising his #wife to do that and blowing up her sister's house. etc #and so i don't care about people being like oh snow's hot because like that's the face of an actor of course people would think that lol #but the takes i see about him and lucy gray's relationship i'm like. huh.#also the possessiveness. i could actually go on for quite a while about the changes in their dynamic that makes it not hit like it did in #the book or like he's still kinda possessive i guess but it's a little aw her ex-boyfriend is the reason why she was a tribute of course he #doesn't like him. when like. he legit thinks of her as belonging to him. in many ways #also the one change that i think shows that their relationship is portrayed differently in significant ways in the movie is the fact that #when he wakes up in the hospital he immediately tells tigris and sejanus that lucy gray saved him when in the book he was literally like NO #ONE CAN EVER KNOW #i was like oh!#and when you change that it's kind of like. what's the point then #there's also something to be said about how he says she's not really from 12 and about how it's unfair she had to live there at all. and #her not really being from 12 is something she says herself but!#also while i was reading the book i was totally reminded of the quote from that guy who made the last of us about how #intense hate is universal and about vengeance #like literally okay coriolanus snow #and like i say: brf slt

However, she [the Queen] is entirely forgiving of honest mistakes, such as that of an unfortunate first lady of Finland. Sylvi Kekkonen accompanied her husband, Urho, on his 1969 state visit to London as Finnish president. Unfortunately, she muddled up her medication, took a sleeping pill instead of her heart pill, and had to be gently propped upright by the Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Anne for the duration of the carriage procession to the palace. 'The Queen still loves telling that story,' says a former official.

‘Queen of Our Times: The Life of Queen Elizabeth ll’ by Robert Hardman (2022).

The media talking about how it’s an ‘bad’ idea to have a smaller working royal family but it’s like there could be 100 royals in the room but there is only one, Catherine, HRH The Princess of Wales.
