He is not a stupid man. Who or what is he trying to protect... or punish... until he dies??

:previous: Perhaps it is time to use the same consequences for ML as Prince Andrew of the UK is experiencing from the Queen. I would not, of course, equate his alleged transgressions in the same category of Martha Louise's. But they are/have really put their royal houses in difficult...

Well said!

:previous: Nice video! Looks like they had a lovely family evening... a relaxed and happy group. Wish I knew what young Vincent had to say to the reporters as they left.

I agree with you, but I don't have to withhold comment because just the very fact that he agreed to do an interview is a big, big BIG mistake. I suppose, his arrogance convinces him that he can control the perception in some way. The clips I have seen remind me of Princess Diana's sad...

The Sussex's plans for Christmas this year were probably decided upon months ago with the knowledge and approval of the Queen It is only now that the media has found out about it that it has become fodder for their typical and not very subtle spin on how the two treat the royal family.

:previous: How very commendable! I don't think there has ever been such a letter sent in support of a royal. Definitely unprecedented pushback which makes me wonder how the tabloid and social media will handle this.

Does anyone know if Martha Louise is still carrying out any duties for the royal family? Any of her patronages still staging events with her participation? I can't find any info on this. She seems to be very busy elsewhere!!

Shaman's sessions I'm just wondering if the Shaman conducts some of his classes without charging a fee for those of us who are not wealthy but still want the benefit of his wise guidance and counsel??? No?? He doesn't?? I am shocked! I expected more from the "global ambassador for love", as he...

Do you know that I quite like the thatched roof made from sea-reed when I saw the pictures. So beautiful, and I think of the people who used what was available from nature while nurturing their limited resources in the fields, were brilliant survivors.

Well, finally!! There is little doubt that she was damaging the royal family by her actions. It sounds like there was a robust discussion with them at some recent point. I don't think she will be doing activities representing the royal family in her capacity as a princess any time soon!

Try as I might -- I still get a feeling of unease looking at the instagram and seeing the princess using her title to promote this activity. Logically, many royals (i.e. Prince Charles and others) use their position to promote their charities and interests. I am happy that they each have found...

I hardly think that a man who has fathered 23 legitimate children with six wives is in need of the children of his and Haya's marriage to be inheritors of his throne! His first wife is the senior and respected spouse also with children but Haya had western qualities (i.e. education, contacts)...

Muhler wrote: So yes, the tabloid-reporters have reason to fear for the future. Because their days of monopoly are over. Why should I as an interested royal observer rely on what royal reporters write in one or two major news outlets, when I have so many other sources at my disposal, just...

:previous: A very thoughtful post, and I agree. William and Harry are on divergent paths. One a future king, and the other a former "spare". Harry will support his brother and the royal family, but lead his own life and pursue his own interests. As well, he needs time to establish his own...

:previous: Trying his very best to make his job seem relevant. He was in political reporting before and I think he is still on a steep learning curve. The interviewer was out of her depth as well. I just wish that those assigned to cover the royal family at least have some basic knowledge of...

Absolutely right! A big difference when taking pictures through the car windows. By this time it was almost dark outside. I think some of the children were disturbed by the photographer flashes, poor little tykes. As well, many bystanders were using their cell phones to take pictures. But...

The Queen will never abdicate because she is more her father's daughter than her husband's wife. I remember watching her and Henrik during their courting days (on television) and there was passion and attraction between them that was so very obvious. The world was happy for her, because...

Very strange to wear a hat in her own "home", even if it is a palace, when welcoming guests. And, of course, the hat should have been removed during the luncheon. Those are general guidelines, but then, Maxima isn't guided by those kind of conventions.

:previous: Wouldn't that be lovely! I would like to see Pippa settled and happy. Despite all her family wealth and connections, it can't be easy facing the paps on a daily basis and enduring the gossip to which she is subjected. She is, after all, a private citizen.

From my first glance at Charlotte's picture, I saw the Queen as well! Isn't it strange how perceptions differ? I didn't see even a bit of Carole and was surprised when she was mentioned. I will have to look for some younger pictures of Carole (there aren't many about) and take another look.

:previous: Even though I don't know the man, the body language says it all: still an unhappy soul. A few other adjectives come to mind, but what is the point of going over the same material, I think Prince Laurent will always cause problems for the royal family. I admire Princess Claire more...

Absolutely! What on earth was all the fuss about??

I understand your point: Hussein did make some disastrous mistakes during his regime, but he also had remarkable triumphs and was frequently able to balance the western nations within the complex middle east quagmire. I hope that Abdullah will learn from both his father's mistakes and...
