My sentiments exactly, Angela. If Charles nees some "support" at the memorial, he can stand between his two sons.

Camilla is a very sensible woman -- I think she should take the high road and stay home and be ready to soothe the fevered brow of dear Charles who somehow has made this memorial service about him and his wants and needs. The young princes quite rightly invited Camilla, but I think they will be...

I agree! Not only is Haakon handsome (with or without the beard, but he was superb without the beard) but he exudes a kind sexiness that sets him apart from the others. <sigh>

I agree that the names will probably surprise us. After all, I was quite surpised with "Louise" -- and its a lovely name. If its a girl, one of her names will be Elizabeth, but not the first name. And if a boy, I'm betting Christopher. :smile:

I wonder if any of the other crown princes and princesses of Europe are doing a better job at "courting the media"? Haakon and Mette-Marit, perhaps? I hear that Felipe and Letizia are having problems with a press that had been hopeful that Letizia would be more forthcoming since she had been a...

Under the circumstances (i.e. learning a new language, living in a foreign country, learning the duties of a crown princess, giving the royal family two beautiful and healthy children, behaving in a way befitting her station) I think Mary has done a superb job. If she falters in any way -- her...

Yes, and I haven't seen her smile that happily in a long time!:neutral:

Raising one's own children doesn't mean that it has to be done without the aid of nannys. I can't imagine Mary would have meant this, especially since she is obliged to "work" as a Crown Princess. Teaching your children about the world, about values and good deeds, respect towards others...

Zara Phillips, Princess Anne's daughter, lives with her long time boyfriend. And, of course, so did her uncle Charles and Camilla. It seems to be a much more straightforward thing these days, rather than the secrecy of how it was done before. :cool:

Hmmm....I wonder what Chelsy would say if she saw a picture of the barmaid Harry was chatting up this weekend in Calgary. It was in one of Canada's national papers. Apparently they talked a lot and when Harry left he gave her a kiss on the cheek. He seemed to be quite taken with her. Will he...

I just watched it this evening. They interviewed Tina Brown along with some other "friends", and revealed nothing new or different from what we have read or know already. As I watched a smiling Tina Brown being interviewed by a rather jolly man...it was almost as if the two had forgotten or...

And my "source" was my son, who is living in Alberta. He said that there had been rumours for several days now. I assured him that it was quite unlikely that Harry come to Canada. He was quite happy to say "I told you so" to his mother. :lol:

Masako's hair is longer -- I think it suits her quite well. I think she is better now, primarily because she has had the full support of her husband during this time -- it must mean a lot, given her environment.

Whoa, Princess Beatrix -- rather a harsh reprimand on your part, I think! I feel that I love Maxima, whether she has messy hair or not -- and all the work she does and the breath of fresh air she has brought to the royal family and how she has revitalized interest in the royal family with...

Perhaps we could start a new thread about royals with messy hair! :lol: I agree that Maxima's hair has been rather 'windblown" perhaps with good reason (he pregnancies, etc.) or perhaps she doesn't really care that much about her hair, or perhaps she thinks it looks good that way on her...

Well said, gudeeya -- he has eyes for Mary only. Three lovely years and two precious babies. I was wondering how long it would take before some people would "sense" or "feel" that something was not right in their marriage. And, based on what? Body language in a few photos? Not even a...

Exactly right. He would be a danger to his men. And I can't help thinking that, while Harry may want to choose his own path, I'm afraid that it was already chosen for him the day he was born into the British Royal family.

Just like a horse ....:biggrin:

Thank you all for the warm welcome -- this board is really a fun place, I've spent some pleasurable hours reading the threads :smile:
