She’s a disgrace. Especially when one remembers who she replaced.
At least Nora Batty had appeal…
I feel uncomfortable discussing an elderly lady’s ankles.

Don’t know a great deal about such matters, but it made me wonder if these wrinkles result from compression due to the weight of their hats?
Perhaps some SF engineers or architects can enlighten us…

You horrible people! She’s probably worth more than the two of them added together.
Adam, I seriously hope you’re sex on legs, making comments like that about an old lady.
PS did you really fancy Nora Batty?

Nora Batty made us unable to take modern usage of the name seriously, and when a friends daughter called her firstborn Nora, we absolutely couldn’t believe it although we couldn’t possibly say a word.
Did I mention anything about her attractiveness, or prowess? No I did not. But since you ask, the answer is yes!
These royals have teams of servants who do everything. She alwsys looks sour, hiding under those awful hats, so her taste is pretty awful. But to let her out with wrinkled full denier knit hosiery is just an outright disgrace. State visits are all about the spectacle. Someone messed up. A far cry from her mother in law - she was a Queen with a capital Q!
In this one’s defence though, I think senility is setting in.
Nora Batty? You seem to have a real hang-up about sex. Did I say Nora had sex appeal? No I did not! She has appeal Yes indeed! She had the sort of class only found in Holmfirth 
She does NOT always look sour.

Who is/was Nora Batty?
Edit. I just Googled. Now I think this thread is rude misogyny and probably pot-kettle to boot.
Hear, hear.
Why on earth should she care, maybe she was showing her contempt for the visitors, bet he won’t moan about her attire.

Queen Camilla is seventy eight years old. I challenge anyone to pop down to their local Intermarche and send me a snap of a similarly aged lady with a nicely turned ankle in 15 denier.

My mother was called Nora.
Our granddaughter is called Nora, named after her great grandmother.
We have a grandson called Wilfred, named after my wife’s father.
Both are lovely names and a tribute to 2 wonderful great grandparents.

Friends of friends called their new puppy Nora Batty because it had wrinkly/saggy legs.

The absolute best secretary I ever had was called Nora. She was a treasure.
It’s 2025, with a hereditary monarchy and the big issue is wrinkled tights?
