My late grandma kept a scrapbook of unflattering photos of the Royal Family with sarcastic handwritten captions. Here's some highlights
Aside from the photos, there's just one cutting in the scrapbook: an account of Phil's "controversial remarks".
She seems to have particularly had it in for Anne
Also Fergie
And obviously Charles
But mostly Anne
The captions are wonderful. I can hear her voice when i read them
Especially this one
And this one
Most of the pics are from the 80s and 90s
The overarching theme is lèse-majesté
And not infrequently food, too
I really need to replace this knackered old sellotape
Not so many pictures of Phil
This horrid scrapbook brought my grandma much malicious joy over many years. It's my favourite (and pretty much only) family heirloom.
