I'm not sure what your point is here. The article you linked says the same thing as the one I linked: Olympia's friends say she believed the marriage was over before the relationship began. Why she would stay with a guy who conducts his private life this way is a good question, but they're...

Yes, that does look like a very indiscreet photo, but in all fairness, it appears to have been taken from far, far away, so they may have had no inkling that they were being trailed. (You'd think they'd assume, but still.) And, Olympia's friends are claiming that she thought the marriage was...

Looking at the picture of Oliver Cholmondeley and Prince George, you realize what a big boy George is. Oliver is three years older, but they're about the same size.

That painting looks like Charles is emerging from a Jello mold. Throw in a few marshmallows, and you could serve it at a picnic.

I wonder what the middle names are. I hope Benedicke got a mention. :)

Women less than half her age could be very envious! She looks great and has such a wonderful sense of style.

Does anyone know if that's a complete photo of the letter? It seems odd for an official letter from the princess to the prime minister with no letterhead or business formatting.

Gustav Albrecht made Richard a "prior heir," which effectively made him the trustee of the possessions, not the owner. Gustav (or whoever Richard's eldest son might have been) was the heir.

That's an excellent point. It has been reported time and time again that Gustav Albrecht skipped Richard in the line of inheritance to save on taxes.

I believe you're mistaken about the ownership. Gustav was declared the owner when his grandfather was declared dead in 1969. Richard was head of the house, but not the estate owner. Here are some references from credible sources...

I'm surprised by those who are questioning Gustav's speed in going to court to secure the inheritance. He waited almost two months after his father died, which seems almost slow to act, rather than too fast. (If you think it is in "bad taste" to act quickly, my guess is you've never been the...

Stockmar apparently didn't like Queen Charlotte, so his comment may have been intended more as an insult than a description.

I hope they release pictures. Baby Gustav is beautiful, so I'll bet his new sister will be, too.

I looked at the picture of the confirmand, his mother, and his grandmother, and I wondered who the boy with them was before I realized it was Louisa. I guess she doesn't share her grandmother's fashion sense at this age!

He's a very handsome kid.
