Man in a Suitcase: Night Flight to Andorra (1.30, ITC, 1968)

"You know we're not in this for kicks by now, don't you?"

"I heard a story about Buck, whoever Buck might be, something about taking me behind the sheds and murdering me."

"Ha. Well, old Buck watches a lot of TV, ma'am."

The Princess of Wales June 2024 Photo Challenge ♔

❥ Day 11 - Favourite photo(s) of Catherine with the British royal family Catherine's relationship with the Windsor family is quite possibly one of my favorite things ever. She's the daughter Charles always wanted, is Camilla and Sophie's best friend, Anne and Tim adore her, and she's the ride-or-die for William's siblings Zara and Mike and their families. Edward is like the dorky uncle who’s almost a best friend. Even though we don't get to see her interact with the younger Edinburghs as much, the short time we do see them together only proves that she's like an older sister to them. And even I, with my complicated relationship with the Yorks, can admit that, despite what everyone would have us believe, the girl squad of Bea, Cat, and Genie proves everyone wrong with their friendship.

Aimee’s 2023 royal family engagement count: The final results!

Disclaimer; everyone’s counts will be different, people have different rules to their method of counting the Court Circular. It isn’t a definitive count and is done just for fun 💗

The court circular doesn’t record any work behind the scenes, only public engagements, official meetings and luncheons/dinners. It’s more a gauge of their public facing roles.

“At my mother's funeral, in St George's, when he takes the Crown off the coffin, I rather weirdly felt a sense of relief. Somehow that's it, finished. That responsibility being moved on.”
