Dollface Prince turns ten tomorrow.

[quote]Cos

You're a fucking moron.

it's spelled 'cuz'

^ tuff- edgy -gay. Thinks she's butch cos she swears a lot.

No, the younger one. He's the sullen-looking one.

YASSSS KWEEN!

Hurrah!

He's butching up a tad.

Oh, my stars!

Werk it, honey!

His daddy snapped my necklace.

Well, thankfully at age 10 he’s now starting to grow out of that Louie Anderson phase.

Good luck to him. I hope he survives the royal family, but considering who his father is, he’ ll have a rough time.

Well I for one want to see this queen as King!

Way to double down on your stupidity R3.

Do continue.

Hey, Jinah- I got the nudies..

[quote]YASSSS KWEEN!

ahem...

^ Cami is da bomm there

She is one handsome woman

George is a nice looking boy.

I wish George and Louis parted their hair on the left side like most males. George has a cowlick on the right side, so it's difficult to part his hair on the left. But Louis appears not to have a cowlick on the right and could easily part his hair on the left. Like this...

🧡

Happy looking child, unlike the bitter klan queens.

He did look rather sullen at Wimbledon. I kept telling my partner it must have been Louis, but, no, it was George.

He's really such a cute kid.

Adorable and growing up so fast. Yikes.

My favorite photoshoot of George ever:

And ten is just plenty

Adorable, R21. I'm a hooker with a heart of gold, and I think all three of the kids are truly adorable and are growing into lovely humans. George in particular is suddenly looking so mature and handsome lately!

Blows my mind that he's going to be the king of England one day. I wonder if he can fully grok that yet?

His parents told him when he was seven years old so he's had some time to get used to the idea. The death and funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the Coronation of King Charles III must have given little George a lot to think about.

George is going to be very handsome , started out slow and the handsome in closing in.

Sadly, the handsome phase of those genes goes by pretty fast.

I don't think that his childhood is all that different from a normal modern child's, they're ALL being put through social media photoshoots now! I can't go to the local park without seeing some kid voguing away in front of some beauty spot, as the mother snaps pic after pic for her social media account.

I suspect that George actually spends less time in front of a camera than the average middle-class child.

Don't count out the Middleton genes, R26. Catherine is still rather ravishing in her early 40s.

Has anyone asked how I am?

“Dollface”

Looks like a gremlin to me.

R29 Not Harry, lately 🤣

He's a cute kid. I reserve dollface for those creatures who provoke involuntary guttural reactions from me, which excludes members of the BRF.

[quote]Has anyone asked how I am?

R29. Ms. Markle, we don't care. No one does. You're time has come and gone.

I swear he's just a clone of William. No one looks THAT much like their parent.

Kate has done a great job with her kids. They all seem solid and grounded … even that little terror Louis who I think is a doll.

Just saw George and our girl Charolette at Wimbledon. Behaved a hell of a lot better than I would have at that age. Hope the stay centered.

He looks so tall in his birthday photo! Hard to believe he's only ten. But I guess his parents are tall.

"No one looks THAT much like their parent."

One of my brothers looked so much like my father that you'd swear their childhood photos were of the same person, and that brother used to go around complaining that he'd know what he'd look like when he got old. Probably still does.

And then there's Ronan Farrow, who is basically a male clone of his mother. There's no telling who his father is by looking at him, he's 100% Mia.

He looks like Mia's father - an almost exact replica and of Mia too.

It's creepy.

Doubt he'll see 11.

He's looking too old.

The Royal receding hairline already.

He's lucky he doesn't have a fucking bald spot already given his paternal background.

Has Matt Damon commented yet?

No, but the Damon Butt is still a legend, that is some sweet, sweet stuff.

[quote] I wish George and Louis parted their hair on the left side like most males.

I never heard about most males parting their hair on the left side.

That's because it's not true, R45.

I presume that R44's mother parted his hair that way so he thinks that's the "right" way to do it for all boys.

So if he died, would the next in line go to Harry?

No. Charlotte. Male primogeniture was scrapped in 2013 in England.

And even if primogeniture hadn't been scrapped there's still Louis. He comes before Harry too.

R11 You must be confused. George’s father is William, not Harry. William is not cognitively slow, mentally ill and a substance abuser. He’s also not married to a narc-sociopath. George will be fine.

R37 I have a friend who looks exactly like the male version of his mother. I worked with a ten year old boy (residential treatment) who also looked exactly like his mother. Sad, because she didn’t know who his father was.

"So if he died, would the next in line go to Harry?"

If Charles, William, and George all died, Charlotte would become the ruling queen. If she died, Louis would become king, and if Louis died without any younger siblings, the monarchy would end because nobody would want to have Harry as their king.

A gift to every pederast

r34 - I do see a huge element of Spencer in George, but I mostly see Michael Middleton.

Charlotte looks like a hybrid of granny QEII and both Middletons.

Which, hopefully, means the Windsor genetics are getting washed out of the family line.

The Windsor shortness has certainly been bred out of them! William's kids are going to be very tall, and they're the great-grandchildren of Elizabeth, last of the short-arsed monarchs.

Haven't all the kings and queens from Victoria to Elizabeth been shorties?

R50, you’re kidding, right. William, such a pure and innocent soul?

[quote]Cos I know many of you will want to see this.

Why would you think this?

[Quote]Catherine is still rather ravishing in her early 40s.

Is that what passes as ravishing? Sun and smokers skin, too thin and gaunt?

Eat the rich.

R59 they are beyond rich. The rich would kill to be a King or Queen.

Pedo thread

Why don't the idiots get over the fact Catherine isn't a New York supermodel.

He’s going to be bald too, isn’t he?

[quote] Catherine is still rather ravishing in her early 40s.

Mary. I like Kate's looks, but "ravishing"? No. Also, early 40s is not that old.

No one ever said she was R62. Good lord.

R63, George and Louis have some hope of keeping their hair!

The gene for baldness is supposedly carried through the maternal genes, and Kate's father still has a thick head of hair. But then, Diana's male relatives all kept their hair, so the Windsor baldness genes may be unusually strong, or maybe the result of a curse...

I played the Meghan Game with this thread and guessed 9 but the first mention of her was 29.

Do we get to use baccarat rules so I can discount the 20 and just use 9 so I win?

[quote] The gene for baldness is supposedly carried through the maternal genes

This is not true. You can get baldness from either side of your family. This is an old wives' tale.

[quote] The gene for baldness is supposedly carried through the maternal genes, and Kate's father still has a thick head of hair.

By this logic, Kate's father's "thick head of hair" would have no genetic impact on Kate. Hence, Kate could not pass on this "thick hair" gene to George.

R68 I agree. My mother’s father was never bald. I started going bald in my early 20s.

[quote]This is not true. You can get baldness from either side of your family. This is an old wives' tale.

ALL the theories about baldness are old wives' tales

R47 The irony of Harry’s book Spare is that he isn’t even the spare and hasn’t been since George was born. Charlotte and Louis are the spares.

George is a lucky young man. Considering at his age, William was deep into a childhood trapped between warring parents and aggressive paparazzi. William and Kate seem to have done a good job giving him a relatively normal life.

Yes and amazing he hasn't been sent to boarding school yet. This is a REAL break with tradition.

The paparazzi were rarely "aggressive" with William at age ten, R72. I remember it quite well. His parents were at war, however, and I'm sure that was very difficult for him since poor Diana used William as an emotional crutch which she never should have done. It wasn't his job to take care of her problems.

Still, young George is very lucky in his parents. They're good people, they're both grown-ups and they take parenting seriously.

The real break with the traditions of the monarchy is the recent announcement that George may not go into the armed forces if he doesn't want to do so. Now, I think that he actually will serve if he wants to be King one day. If not, he's free to blow it off in which case we will see Charlotte joining up and eventually becoming Queen Regnant.

I'd fully support that - Britain does better with Queens than Kings anyway, in my opinion.

What happened to the cute evil-faced little Prince with the handsome daddy?

Ugly little buggers except Louie

R73 It will be interesting to see if he will. In a way, I could see how boarding school could help a royal child experience a break from the the royal cocoon…but maybe closer to age 13 or so?

Approximately 13 is the American age to start boarding school attendance. Britain starts them off much younger, more like eight to ten years old.

George doesn't have to board at all. Eton is close enough to home that it's an easy school run to make.

I don't think there's any danger of George being sent to boarding school before 13-14, "high school" age. And maybe not then, Will and Kate take parenting seriously enough that they may keep some or all of the kids at home for their secondary schooling.

Of course Charles sent his kids to boarding school, he was the only living parent and didn't have a clue. But Will and Kate seem to be giving parenting their best shot, they may decide day schools are good enough.

Ozempic face?

[quote]George doesn't have to board at all. Eton is close enough to home that it's an easy school run to make.

I don't think Eton does day boys. If he goes, he'll board.

I see, R81, then I doubt he'll attend Eton at all. We shall see.

Chip off the ole block!

R50 You need work on your comprehension skills. Go back, read my post and realize that the words “pure” and “innocent” weren’t included. Next stop is your local adult school.

He looks like his mum which is a good thing.

I don’t see a resemblance to Kate.

I think he looks like Kate's father.

Get that child on Propecia NOW.

[quote] I see, [R81], then I doubt he'll attend Eton at all. We shall see.

He has already visited the school recently with his parents, so I’d expect an announcement soon. It seems likely that William and Kate’s recent move to Windsor was motivated by a desire to be close to Eton. Although William enjoyed his years as a boarder, he also benefited from being close enough to Windsor Castle to be able to spend a lot of time with the late Queen, especially during the time that his parents were at war with one another. It was widely reported that William would have tea with his granny nearly every weekend.

This may seem like the perfect arrangement to William and Kate: they can abide by tradition by sending George to a first-rate school, but still be able to see him often, and they will always be within 20 minutes of the school.

[quote]Of course Charles sent his kids to boarding school, he was the only living parent and didn't have a clue.

They were both at boarding school before he and Diana even divorced. She was very much alive. I remember being horrified that she gave the Panorama interview while they were away at school and away from the family's protection. That's narcs for you.

Charles and Diana sent William and Harry to Eton in part because it was so close to London, and it's just across the river from Windsor. William saw his grandmother every weekend when he was a student there.

Yes, but they went to boarding schools before Eton.

Eton is the top, as in the poshest school, in England. It was the right place for them.

What’s the best school for girls? Or do Royal females just learn on the job?

West Heath where Princess Di went was the very upper class school. I knew quite a few girls who went there, but it's closed now.

They often went onto Queensgate for the last two years/ A levels. Camilla went there.

Kate and Pippa went to Marlborough. Princess Margaret's daughter Sarah went to Bedales, which is supposed to be creative and arty. Chelsy Davy went to Cheltenham. St Mary's and Roedean are supposed to be posh.

You know why George is definitely going to Eton? Because every year they have a "Mum's Race", where the mothers visit and kick off their heels and race, and Princess Diana won several times!

Kate is damn well going to do the same, and she's going to quietly hire an Olympic sprinting coach beforehand.

You know, when he dies in 70 years or so there will definitely be photos of him with the Obamas.

Louie Anderson incarnate

R79 William and Harry went to boarding school (Ludgrove) each at 8 years old. Diana was still alive.

The years are ripping by!

I hope this generation of little royals will get some input on whether or not they want to go to a boarding school. Some kids are fine with it, they think it'll be a chance to spend lots of minimally supervised time with other kids, or they think it's a status thing to do, other kids dread the possibility.

It would be nice if George was given the option of a day school, but as the heir he's probably being trained to do what's expected and not what he wants.

He musn't ever be allowed to reign someday. He must be EXECUTED.

^ Agree dearie

Yes, I know that the Wales' recently visited Eton, R-whatever-upthread. That doesn't mean that George will attend the school. They may be introducing it as one of his schooling options.

Since they've publicly announced that George is under no obligation to join the military, I doubt he's under an obligation to go to boarding school either. We shall see.

They've announced that George won't be forced to join the military after college, but don't be surprised if he (and Charlotte and Louis for that matter) ends up doing a stint in one of the military branches anyway. His father and grandfather flew helicopters and greatly enjoyed it, watch for him to perhaps do a stint in the RAF voluntarily.

I mean, perhaps he'll be a studious type and want to obtain a Masters or PhD degree, but the Windsors aren't that brainy or bookish. Military training will help fill in the gap between college/uni graduation and the time as an adult when he'll become a full time working Royal.

The next ten years will determine if he is going to be another M-W jerk. God forbid he becomes a studious man of learning. Not since G3, has there been a thoughtful King.

It’s high time they had someone intelligent at the helm. Maybe Kate’s DNA will offset thousands of years of inbreeding.

King Charles isn't stupid, neither is William. Harry is deeply stupid and so is Andrew. The Windsor stupid gene seems to skip the eldest son and go for the second son with a vengeance.

I would not be at all surprised to find that George decides to do military service and it wouldn't surprise me if all of the Wales children chose to do a stint in the service. They'll see everyone else in the family doing it, it seems likely that they will too. I do like the fact that William and Catherine are being careful to keep George's options open, to give him choices not "you must do thus and so."

They're thoughtful, caring parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales.

I’m so tired of this fag.

R96 This is random, but I heard recently that those mother and father races are closed to the press these days.

Betcha if George goes to school there Catherine will win the Mom's race every time.

She's sporty.

He has another 10 years to enjoy his hairline

Men usually inherit their mother's father's genes, and James Middleton has a fantastic head of hair for his age:

R108 Spot on. Both Harry and Andrew are very stupid.

[quote] Men usually inherit their mother's father's genes, and James Middleton has a fantastic head of hair for his age:

We already discussed that. That's an old wives' tale. Even if it were true, James Middleton is Kate's *father*, so his hair (or bald) genes would not pass to Kate. By that logic, Kate's mother's genes would pass to Kate and then to William.

[quote]He musn't ever be allowed to reign someday. He must be EXECUTED. —Meggsy

She does realise what that would mean, doesn't she?

There are many genes that contribute to make pattern baldness, some are autosomal and some are located on the X chromosome. The X linked ones would come from a boys mother as males get an X chromosome only from their mothers. The mother has the possibility of passing either of the 2 X chromosomes she has to each child (male or female) that she has. If Prince George gets the X chromosome Kate got from her father, he'll be lucky. The other X chromosome originated from Kate's mother and could be either from Kate's material grandmother or maternal grandfather. Make pattern baldness is less extreme in women because they have lower levels of dihydrotestosterone and because they have 2 X chromosomes (less likely that both would have baldness gene).

^ That should be male pattern baldness. Spell check on my new Pixel Fold keeps correcting to "make".

Most male-pattern baldness (most, not all) is passed down via the maternal line. Kate's father certainly has a great head of hair, very thick well into his 70s. It would be great if George and Louis inherited that kind of hairline.

I don't know what Carole Middelton's father looked like, but if had decent hair then the Wales kids are probably going to luck out.

Here is a photo, from the side, of Kate's grandfather Ron Goldsmith with baby Kate at her 1982 christening. Not a bad hairline.

Nothing like a bunch of clacking old hens arguing over some dumb kid, they don't know and will never know, and his future hairline. SMH.

If you don't like the thread topic, gtf off r121. You can easily partake of the other brilliant threads here dealing with serial killers, hideous real estate, or how to drain pasta.

Which royal Dukedom will George get when he marries? If Will has already acceded, it’s of course Cambridge. But if Will hasn’t acceded and Edward and Andy are still both alive, I’d expect Ross first, then Clarence, then maybe Kendal. Cleveland is still kinda tainted haha. Of course, it’s unlikely he gets York either way, because it’s reliably reserved for the second son. Also, reusing Edinburgh so soon might be seen as rude to Edward’s family.

Louis will surely get York when it comes available, possibly as a life peerage to preserve it, so he may get a substantive Earldom at first, just like Edward.

Then there’s always the question of whether Charlotte, as the first ever Princess to be ahead of her brother, will get a substantive title with a non-standard remainder for her descendants, even if she has the non-inheritable Princess Royal title by that point. Of course, she might marry an heir to a title, which would make it simpler.

R122's ugly old lady bloomers are in a twist. The grannies get so offended easily. 🤣

Serial killers and real estate are far more interesting than this dumb kid and his boring family. If you don't get the humor behind the pasta draining argument then you aren't a real datalounger so maybe you should fuck off?

[quote] Most male-pattern baldness (most, not all) is passed down via the maternal line.

Where's the link on this?

I just want to know who is going to get Froggy Cottage. The saga of Froggy Cottage has to continue

Again r125, WHY ARE YOU ON THIS THREAD? Shoo.

WHY ARE YOU ON DL? Shoo.

[quote]Which royal Dukedom will George get when he marries? If Will has already acceded, it’s of course Cambridge.

If "Will" has already acceded, then George would already be Duke of Cornwall (and Rothesay) and Prince of Wales, too, if William acts with the same speed as Charles did when Elizabeth died. As such, George probably wouldn't be getting any new titles for his wedding.

I just heard from one of those "royal reporters" that James, Viscount Severn is no longer Severn, or at least that's one of his lower titles. He's the Earl of Wessex now. It hadn't even occurred to me but of course he would be.
