after just seeing the photo of her on her 18th birthday on Richard & Judy, what does everyone think, do you think she was made to wear it?
im not sure, i think maybe it was 50/50. for your 18th bday party, i would have thought you would want to wear something less formal!

apparently the theme of the party was 1888 (she was born 1988, so it kind of tied in) and she had some say in the choice of theme.

oh okay, think i missed that bit!! understand it a bit more now.

Felt a bit sorry for fergie, richard and judy had a right go. at the end of the day it was a fancy dress party and thats what they wore, i didn't see then having a go at Wills for having a fancy dress party for his 21st, it was just richard and judy having a go for the sake of it and this from a man who has a conviction for shop lifting.

I PMSL @ the photo.Those kids are so lucky that they have parents who have remained parents BUT as much as she adores her girls and I actually like her as well -they will curl up and die when they see the matching minnie mouse type outfits she has persisted with in later life.- lol

BTW -She had a section on that date because she wanted her daughter to have that DOB and time of birth -absolute FACT - not urban myth.

[Drisgirl]

O BTW -she was born on 8.8.88 @18.08.Who says money doesnt talk????

She had a section with Beatrice? I thought she had a natural birth, but had a section with Eugenie...

I read somewhere that Fergie had/has an obsession with Queen Victoria, which is where she got the names for her daughters from (Victorias daughters).

[Drisgirl]

google it -although I honestly remember the 'furore' when she was born.It was so obvious and they later admitted it was selective -but was it not ht e the QM's birthday or QV's birthdayHonest pippa -take it from me it was deliberate !!!

[Pippa68]

I have googled, Drisgirl ~ all I could find was the fact that both pregnancies were straighforward, although Eugenie was delivered by C secion due to her being a breech baby.

I won't deny the fact that Beatrices date of birth may well have been planned ahead, however Fergie could have had an induction/natural birth on that day rather than a C section :o)

[Drisgirl]

Get ya Pippa - the baby for whatever reason was deliberately born on 8.8.88.I believe it was an induction and have no reason to doubt that.Cheers Bud !!!!

[Pippa68]

No probs :o)

I just had to find out, it was bugging me!
