You all avoid the question what would have been if Daniel died from his condition. Being engaged to him, now at least Victoria has a right to mourn him in public which beforehand she would have had. I do hope that he makes it and that they find a way to live together despite his health problems...

Wessex Vacations with their kids? Are there any?

Folks, accept it: Miss Ferguson is already very much part of the media scene - as producer, TV-show host, star of docu soaps and author of books. So she has to play along if she wants to keep her position. I don't like how she plays her hand, but it's according to the rules of the game. But I...

She has been a quick learner before when it comes to the media - she may be a bit naive and a very friendly person, thus she got used by the media in the beginning but she has managed to find her own way to deal with it. Thus, i tend to think these are the last pictures we get to see from such...

Interesting idea :flowers:. But let's assume that Albert made a good marriage, inherited the Duchy from his brother and that his children married well. His eldest daughter caught the eye of the Crown Prince of Prussia/Germany and became empress Frederick..... It was suppossed to be a love...

Probably he would not have divorced Ms. Hochuli (his wife in 1987) if he had been king, but there is really no sense in discussing that, as you never know.

Perhaps Camilla?:biggrin:

Caroline of Monaco would be the queen of the Uk today.

You bring it to a point: "she answers" - you don't have to talk about old, old stories when you have something newer to actually say. And, being a journalist myself, I was wondering how a journalist could bring such old things up during an interview without being corrected by Sarah. I mean, she...

Have you ever thought about the possibility that those who are alone are alone for a reason. Human beings tend to live in "flocks" and most of us manage to live that way because of the capability to forgive and forget, to compromise and to put the welfare of others before that of ourself. I...

I'm quite willing to take your word for it and if I'm wrong, please feel free to remove this post but I seem to recall that Skydragon paralleled the censorship activity on the base forums with some work of mods here? Am I wrong?

Elspeth, Skydragon did not say that it "would be a shame to loose from the conversation." But I recall somebody wrote that (it was probably Menarue - who already left the forums or so she wrote to me via PM)) and now that I looked for this post it is gone - at least I didn't find any with this...

At the time Victoria was conceived there had been a run for an heir between the younger sons of king George III. because his only legitimate grandchild, Princess Charlotte of Wales, had died in 1817 and his heir, the Prince of wales, later George IV. was definately not going to have any further...

If the BRF still think they can save the Crown of Australia, they will send not Charles and Camilla but wait till there is a new Royal couple: William and wife. IMHO, of course.

We may even see a replay of what happened on the Swedish throne in 1718/1720: Queen Ulrike Eleonore, daughter of king Karl XI. of Sweden became queen after her brother, king Karl XII. died childless. She was married to prince Frederick of Hesse-Kassel, whom she wanted to make into her Co-king...

I think the point of the separate mentioning of Tasmania in connection with the Danish Royals is the fact that HRH The Crown Princess of Denmark is born a Tasmanian - though the child of Scots (back then her parents still had a British passport).

I can imagine that the idea that Charles got in due to his "merit" is hard to swallow for everybody. But that's how it works. The son of our former chancellor Kohl got a place at Harvard.... guess why? (and if someone doubts the source of this information I'm willing to prove to a mod that I in...

I believe anyone who had ever contact with the military knows that censorship is the most normal thing in this sphere - so there is quite a high probability that negative posts about William or Harry are in fact censored because they could have the effect of "Wehrkraftzersetzung", as we say in...

Question is: when did she saw it and what could she actually do at this point in the story? I doubt she was informed before that her grandson would use a loophole which could be seen differently by the media than her advisors did - that this could lead to the next round of "abuse" stories etc...

Unfortunately it does matter to the princess, because she has been fighting for years in court against the publication of pictures she considers to belong to her private sphere. Caroline of Hannover is on the forefront of VIPS who try to use legal means to save their dignity in public - so IMHO...

I doubt Caroline of Monace has ever invited the media that way, non?

I think we all know that there is some kind of "anticipatory obedience" surrounding the Royals and this could well be the result of it without the queen and or Charles realising what was really going on.

I've been thinking about why people react to Sarah in the way some mods here describe as "Bashing" - including me, though I have always tried to argue my case with understandible opinions and not out of pure spite - and hope that this has been seen. I believe a main reason could be that Sarah...

The way to live as a Royal has changed so much during the last century and so Royals, especially those who reign or will reign have different needs when it comes to their spouses than their ancestors. Edward VII. and his wife Alexandra of Denmark in 1909 could arrange themselves within their...

Yes, but IMHO you can't say in one interview that now that you're older and wiser, you would do things as a Royal quite differently and then step out and promise to do the next undignified thing. She is the mother of two princesses who don't like to be photographed in a bikini on a beach but...
