:previous: Up until this flap, I had always assumed that Her Excellency would be offered another term as Governor General, which is customary, I think. Now, I'm not so sure ...

In looks and in what he says, Prince Philip reminds me so much of my own father. At age 90, dad finds it even more unneccesary to use his "mental filters" and our family lore is rich with dad's "pronouncements" and "observations". While they might not be often politically correct, I don't...

Very interesting story. Was there any possibility that her death might have been murder by those who did not want to see her crowned queen?

:previous: It's a great dress....it suits her....and she looks utterly radiant.

The thing is...he might have made his "big move" already -- and we just don't know about it. It could be their own secret. Or known amongst a very few.

Order of Merit for Jean Chretien...? Must have been something behind the scenes we don't know about. He was pretty hopeless on the world stage.

Truly elegant! I wish she had worn this outfit on Easter. It would have been much more appropriate than the trousers.

We must not be looking at the same pictures -- I think F&L together fall far short of "exhibitionism" -- please direct me to a photo in which they should "pipe it down a bit". :smile: It warms my heart to see all the young princely couples show affection towards each other, Frederick and...

Marie seems to be quite naive in the interviews she gives, as if she (or he) haven't really thought past the "and they lived happily ever after" part of the story. The day after the wedding is the day when the real work begins in a marriage. Perhaps she is merely protecting her privacy by...

I am aware that many women choose to wear trousers to church nowadays, (me included) but I was a bit taken aback that Mary would -- especially for Christmas services. And being a Crown Princess. Loved the jacket, though.

Not a very flattering dress design, whether viewed full length or half, I'm afraid. The pale blue is too pale for Camilla and washes her out, leaving only the "dazzlers". She always looks great in clear, vibrant colours...even a champagne colour would have set off her and the diamonds better.

Too much....too soon! :eek:

As GORGEOUS as the necklace was, it didn't flatter Camilla very much, drooping into her her droopy neckline to accentuate her....well, droopy bust. :ohmy: Camilla's best asset is her warm and genuine smile which was overshadowed by too much bling. (Yes, there is such a thing as too much bling!)...

She looks beautiful and well dressed -- but where are her rings??

Good to see her beautiful and confident! You can see she is well rested and interested in what she is doing. I guess the baby is sleeping through the night!

She does....but I don't like the black pearl necklace she is wearing with it. Perhaps something a bit more delicate(?) different (?) would be better, but I'm not sure what....?

I have to agree, and as much as I would like to commend Anne on her frugality and carefree ability to wear clothes that have gone out of style decades ago (she does have a fine figure), I believe her sense of style would be called "dowdy" or "boring" at the best of times. (And lets not get...

Had the French flag a green colour as well -- we would have had the first official tutti fruitti engagement ring! :biggrin:

Daniel always has a serious, almost sullen expression. She is so lovely and full of life, whether she is with him or not. Perhaps it is opposites attracting? I've always been mystified by what she sees in him. I just don't know why, but I find him a bit creepy.

Queen Elizabeth II -- a natural beauty and the most beautiful without a doubt! :smile:

Who can deny that Diana would be very proud of her boys? They did a superb job -- made all the more poignant by their slight nervousness and sense of vulnerability. Charles must be so very proud as well. They were inclusive in a wonderful way. Despite the friction that a family such as...

I'm not quite sure what you mean, BeatrixFan. Are you saying that because Charles will be King, he is subject to a different code of behaviour from other mere mortals...? I hope not -- its that kind of thinking that has got the Royal Family in the sorry state it is today.

Oh so true...oh so logical. But we're dealing with Charles here, bless him. It's all about HIS wants and needs. I don't think its a matter of "support". i.e. that he would be so overcome with emotion at the memorial, that he would need her hand to hold. It's more that he demands that HIS...

Camilla is a smart woman. To please her step-sons and husband, she accepted the invitation, but I believe that from the start she dreaded going. She was very right to make the decision not to attend the memorial -- "better late than never". To have gone would have given fodder for the press...

I'm not pro-Diana -- nor am I anti-Diana. Whether the people involved are Royalty -- or not -- it would be in the lowest possible taste and highest level of insensitivity, for a former mistress to attend the memorial of a wife who blamed the breakdown of her marriage on her.
