Apropos.... its been a while since I visited this forum. I was quite "shocked" to see the royal bump on CP Mary at GREMB. When is she to give birth, and how's her bealth?

I apologize if this has been posted before and more especially responded... in the photo's of the National Day Celebrations, Princess Caroline (to me) look rejuvenated. Did she have some plastic surgery done?

Didn't Prince Ferfried declare receivership or something like that, after things stumbled with Tatiana?

Burg Hohenzollern... I've been there. Its conveniently located near Tuebingen, which itself is just south (sort of) from Stuttgart. T. is a 700 year old city, and a very old university town too boot.

I find it great to learn. Thank you for sharing.

Groningen seems to be a favourite haunt (with two of these royals). How come?

Most of the royal ladies wear fur coats. I don't see what the matter with that is. After all, I eat beef, and wear shoes made of leather. Besides, the best fashion houses, imho, are those that are based in the colder climates. I never heard of this gentleman. What did he do?

But wouldn't you agree that the cold is a good excuse for the Queen to wear her nice, long, beautiful fur coat? To my eyes, the King looks a bit fatigued. Did they take the train, or fly? They still get the month of January off, don't they?

Thanks. I will try that. Second irritant: how do I get rid of that pop-up advert window (permanently)?

falling off line I keep falling off line. That is, on a repeated basis, I have to log in again, and again. It is an irritant, not conducive to enhancing the enjoyment. I am wondering if it has to do with a software compatibility issue. For your information, I am using Mozilla Firefox.

You are correct. And thank you for providing the correct spelling of "Laureates". :bang: However, it seems to me that around 2000, I read it was a lunchtime affair. Is this still a wrong perception?

My mother - being of German origin - wears her wedding ring on her right hand. Given that there is some similarity being swedish words and german words, so it is to be presumed that there is a similarity in the customs too. Maybe the GrandDuchess or Yennie could weigh in? I agree. It would...

As I gather it, the December 11 event is not a "tonight" event, but a noon event. The Nobel Lauterettes (forgot the spelling) all have lunch at the Palace with the Royal Family. I see your point about no pictures of Madde. (Maybe if the second brother had been there, she would have had an...

I must have missed something.... Could some-one direct me to the posting, which describes how it is that Charlene "caught" Albert's eye (more than any of the other ladies who have and are gracing HIS presence) ? What was the monumentous occasion? Thanks in advance.

is this thread going to host all the official pictures, etc that occur on Dec 10-th?

I don't know if what I will say here, is part of this thread, or should form a new thread... In my reading of the "children" of the Belgian Royal family - ie: Philippe, Astrid & Laurent - I have come to learn that Philippe has been criticized for his public speeches, and that Laurent...

To me... there is an element of her looking 'woe-b-gone' in the first picture, and she radiates a certain strength and consequent beauty in the second picture.

I was reliably informed by more than one married gentleman, that the golden rule is, "look, but don't touch". ... That said, there is a matter of when to look, and being discrete in certain surroundings. On the other hand, does it - the matter of a guy looking when his wife is around (and...

wonderful pictures of caroline.

Keeping up with the "Jones's" does cost money, yuh know !!! :ermm:

on wikipedia, I found a presentation of (minimum number of) household staff, that I thought the readers here might in interested in .... "Household staff Practices vary depending on the size of the household and the preference of the employers, but in general the staff is divided into...

Thanks KikkiB

How long was he ill ? What exactly is the difference between KOLS and lung cancer?

That is interesting what you share. I read at another webpage, that some-one at one of the royalty magazines found out where this couple was honeymooning, and that the pictures were agreed to, provided the location wasn't mentioned. The location was supposed to be in the Indian Ocean...

it - the system - won't let me answer with just a smiley. Needs at least ten characters.... drat all the same, :)
