Wearing her daughter's dress, different size?

Just  a huge NO for this dress on anyone......NO....  :no:



Nightowl

That dress is so bad, saw pictures of it and Carol needs better undergarments for sure and she was acting really loud .....LOL.  Maybe she was having a fabulous time or had some sherry to drink.

Party Pieces, insolvent at the time, sold to entrepeuner.

Princess of Wales's parents' business Party Pieces saved as buyer found

?The 12 staff at the Berkshire-based firm were told on Thursday about the buyout, which comes after months of speculation about the company?s future.

Party Pieces Holdings, the parent company of the firm that once employed the Princess, had racked up a deficit of ?1.35 million and the Middletons failed to find new investors or a buyer willing to take on the company with the entirety of the debt.

Instead, the firm was bought by Teddy Tastic Bear, one of several businesses owned by entrepreneur James Sinclair, through a device known as a pre-pack administration.?

Will the new owner change the name of the company?

Who knows. We will have to wait and see. However Party Pieces is a well known brand name so the new owner may well keep it.

I am sorry to see Party Pieces go after playing such an important role in the "Waity Katy" days which seem so long ago for royal watchers. More than a decade. So much has changed in that time.

Middleton family business Party Pieces still yet to pay back taxpayer-funded loan received amid coronavirus pandemic | Sky News Australia

British taxpayers are footing the bill for a coronavirus loan taken out by the Middleton family to support their business.
Carole and Michael Middleton received a taxpayer-backed loan from UK bank NatWest to support the company during the coronavirus pandemic.

The loan totalled ?220000, The Times of London has reported.

As the company has now entered an insolvency process, its loan still has ?220,000 outstanding, of which the taxpayer picks up 80 per cent.

The restrictions on social gatherings led to Party Pieces experiencing a massive drop in revenue ? going from ?4.5 million to ?3.2 million in 2022 ? which led to the company taking out the loan.
