Queen Mary looks terrific, as always. But I must confess I´m not impressed of her wearing this particular tiara we have seen so often wearing as a Crown Princess. For her first royal state visit abroad to europe´s oldest reigning monarch, I expected - and hoped - for one of the "Queen of...

Wow.. that´s disappointing! First state visit and even a royal one and Qu Mary is NOT wearing one of tiaras only to be worn by the current Queen of Denmark....!

King Constantine was not just a relative (and from the point of view of the british Royal Family, he always remained a monarch!), but also a personal friend of King Charles for decades! I´m sure, the dashing, olympic gold winning Constantine was a role model for the younger Charles back in the...

The King of Bhutan is a fine looking man. But, among the "most handsome"....?!:ermm:

:heartflower::twohearts::heart1:

As usual, I don´t get your points.... What´s wrong with the Queen´s dress? She looks exactly a Queen should look like at a state banquet! And why, for heaven´s sake, should "the Värmlands" fade quietly in the background? They are part of "the firm" and, as working Royals, have a duty for Sweden...

Is this that bad...?!;)

In Greece with her family, remembering her late husband on the royal cemetary of Tatoi.

That is not unusual in Norway. No matter journalist or military man/ woman, you always refer to Royalty in third party talking to it.

I guess it might be similarily televised like the abdication/ accession in the Netherlands back in 1980 and in 2013, just without the following Hommage.

No, not like that. I think their theory was, that the RF, the court, whoever thought 1. this would quieten the rumours around the Crown Prince and 2. would provide the royal couple with a new "project" or task as a rejoining force, so that they, as King and Queen of Denmark, would not be able to...

Today, a german newspaper raised the question, if this could be a move, this unforseen abdication, could be regarded as a try to save the royal couple´s marriage.... If that should be the case, which I doubt, this wouldn´t work in long run!

As for the terrible rumours and turmoil of the past month I already began to think there would never be a Queen Mary of Denmark... ! Thank God this did not happen - the new Queen always was and will be a jewel in Denmarks monarchy!

I´m sure, as a non-pragmatist and traditionalist, I´m in the minority.... As such I strongly believe in the old principle of "The King is dead! Long live The King/ Queen!" and that monarchy, different from any other form of state, is a sacred institution which man cannot just reject if things...

Certainly this was planned. Nothing that important and with such an impact is unplanned. I am also surprised as The Queen once stated she would only leave office after she had "fallen off a stool"! It is even more simple and unglamourus as it is in Spain: In Spain there is a "ceremony" in front...

To close this indeed off topic subject on this thread, I still would like to reply that both Mary as well as Charlotte were great-granddaughters of still alive Queen Regnants (and only daughters of a monarch´s heir and grandson) when they were born and both were titled Pricesses of the Blood...

Why is that a change? As far as I know, all children of a grandson of the monarch were Royal Highnesses and Princes and Princesses, regardless of their sex! Example: The only daughter of George V, until his grandmother´s death Duke of York, was born Princess Mary of York. After her grandfather´s...

What I meant was that she is styled a "Lady", not "Royal Highness" and "Princess", other than the York-Princesses who´s father is still a royal Duke while Edward chose, until recently, to be styled a Count which was highly uncommon as a son of a reigning monarch. At the same time he remained to...

Modern times policy, until the current reign so far, seems to be that only working female members of the RF the Family Order has been given - so, in that respect, the Dchss of Kent, who distanced herself, by the approval of the late Queen, from any kind of royal duties about 30 years ago, and...

I don´t think he has any problems showing it, he never had! If you have watched the live coverage, you would see him escorting the (Ex-) Princess of Bulgaria, Rosario, to the birthday luncheon https://tv.nrk.no/serie/kongefamilien/2023/NNFA30000223

What..? First I thought she was the president`s daughter, then I thought there was a huge age gap...! The Duchess of Gloucester looked pretty frail when stepping out of that limousine...

I must admit, this tiara, which I was never very fond of, looks way better on Queen Camilla than it suited the late Queen!

Obviously the King did receive a korean order! But, unlike when it comes to norwegian state visits, you cannot watch the exchange in Britain. Besides, there are countrys, like your own one (highest order in the US is actually a medal, the medal of freedom and doesn´t go along with a sash, for...
