THE ROYAL CHRONICLES : The engagement of Miss Catherine Middleton & Prince William is announced .* :☆゚。 ・
The Prince of Wales announced the engagement of his eldest son & heir Prince William of Wales to Miss Catherine Middleton on november 16, 2010. They met during their time at St. Andrew’s University in Scotland and had been dating for several years before William got down on one knee during a private holiday in Kenya.
William used his mother, Princess Diana's Ceylon Saaphire ring, to propose as it was important for him that his mother was also a part of this new journey in life. The ring was designed by Garrard by taking inspiration from a brooch commissioned by Prince Albert for his wife Queen Victoria in 1840.
For the photocall at the palace, Cat wore a blue silk wrap by Issa and matching sapphire jewellery. Like any true princess dress, this outfit is so iconic that it became THE dress, it even has its own Wikipedia page.

the mum of a close friend of mine has been battling cancer for a few years now, and sadly, she was admitted on monday to the hospital. Her health has been rapidly declining and she probably won‘t have much time left. While we all think of Kate in this very though time, I‘d be eternally grateful to you if you could keep my friend, her mum, her family and everyone who‘s currently battling with this hell of an illness in your prayers and send them all the strength possible <3

maybe there’s already fics for this but the sheffield dinner is a gold mine for potential. like the fallout of anthony calling out the sheffields…
what if after the sheffields left, before the kate & anthony scene, there’s actual discussion in the dining room and anthony calls out that no one else was standing up for kate and i can imagine lady danbury as a subtle reminder being like “remember this was a dinner to meet your fiancée’s grandparents” and then edwina is catching on then and she’s like “you called them out because you love kate” or something like that and things fall apart there
imagine kate trying to tell edwina that she’s leaving for india so none of this matters and whatever passion the viscount may feel for her will fade and is just residual of the passion he feels for edwina and their marriage will be fine and he won’t be confused once she leaves for india and anthony cuts in, in front of everyone the whole “it will not be far enough!” line and the speech too, ending with the bane of his existence and object of all his desires ahhhhh

Being a woc fan of Bridgerton can be a struggle, especially when it comes to liking the poc characters on the show, especially the woc. Like I remember when s1 came out and the blatant microaggressions and just plain racism coming from this fandom was atrocious. You had people spewing very hateful things about Charlotte, Marina, and Simon and undermining the latter two's pain and trauma at the hands of the white characters---Marina was treated terribly by the Featheringtons and, whether you like Penelope or not, you cannot deny that she also played a part by releasing that letter to the Ton and Simon was violated Daphne no matter how people try to spin the story to offer her some form of sympathy (it still blows my mind that people would want to though).
S2 is just as bad (not even including how they changed the Sharma family's storyline than how it was in the books when that wasn't necessary) and the racist undertones many of the fans have towards Mary and Edwina (as well as Kate but for her it's carries more brown woman needing to be saved by a white man when Anthony is involved because a lot of you all in the fandom are quick to use this trope such as "oh, he's the only one who truly knows her"). The lack of screen time for this family really ends up hurting them to but even with that, whether you like Mary and Edwina or not, it would be a lie to deny the racism a lot in the fandom hold towards them (and how that falls onto the actresses because it was very apparent how many in the fandom couldn't let two Desi women shine without having to bring down the other and Netflix played into that too for drama) and paints every small thing they do as being terrible crimes but in the same breath will not have the same smoke for the Bridgertons, who have their own set of problems (but because they are also the main family, among other things, they are provided more grace without consequences).

THE ROYAL CHRONICLES : The Engagement Portraits .* :☆゚。 ・
On 12 December 2010, Clarence House released William and Catherine's engagement portraits taken by Mario Testino at St. James' Palace in November. This was the first official joint photoshoot for WillCat.
Mario was probably all of us when he later said, "I have never felt so much joy as when I see them together".

“I know it's too soon, but I wonder if Catherine will pass on the iconic blue ring for George to propose or will she pass it down to Charlotte instead. If she gives it to George, a tradition might start - it will become "The Princess of Wales ring". It would kind of transcend the wearer. But it's just as valid if she gives it to Charlotte as she's Diana's granddaughter.” - Submitted by Anonymous
