My opinion is that nobody will ever be as "popular" as Diana. But that was a different time and place. It has been stressed that the Palace has learned a lot from all the "Dianamania". If Catherine sticks to Prince William, as he has said, she will do just fine. Diana and Catherine are/were 2...

As odd as it may seem to the world today. I know in ancient Egypt marriage between Father, and daughter. Or marriage between brother and sister was done to keep the "royal blood line". Incest is sexual relations between blood relatives that are too close to be married.

For the longest time I didn't realize that there were stones more rare than a diamond. There are some beautiful colored stones out there in the gemstone world. But for me there is nothing like a brilliant cut diamond. So the diamond engagement rings are the best, to me. With Camillas being...

Wouldn't that be "protected air space"?

I don't know anything about speaking in public. I think there are some things that just never come naturally. I have read that even seasoned professionals like Barbra Streisand have problems "going on stage".

Isn't this the whole subject of King George, and QEQM lives. The movie The "Kings Speech". The wife steps in and helps the husband.

I just love all this information!

I believe the white and black outfit is a skirt and blouse. I believe I remember seeing her wear the shirt with white pants.

I don't know anything about Fredrick. But flashbulbs sometimes can make your eyes red. The Queen has beautiful jewelry. I also thought that Marie look very nice.

I wish they would have released more than two pictures. I bet dozens were taken.

I agree MERMAID1962, I cannot tell you when or where. But I can remember the outfits.

This is beautiful. It seems like it would be perfect for Catherine. Not knowing anything about royalty. Is there a way to show this tiara to somebody in royal circles?

You're kidding right? There really is film of Kate sneezing? Well that is for really hard core followers!

Yes, I like it too. But agree the more colorful one will be prettier.

I have not heard a specific time. But I am sure tv stations here (US) will be covering the whole event. At least I hope so. Because I will record it. If not I will watch it here on my computer just like I did Victoria and Daniels. And I bet they will sell copies of the ceremony on DVDs.

Are you saying you heard Diana was buried wearing her wedding band? I have never heard that. I wonder why, since she was divorced, she would be buried in her wedding band?

Thank you. As soon as you said her full name I knew who she was. Yes it was a pretty dress. I heard it was in honor of her Mother in Law.

MRSJ, please excuse my ignorance but I don't know who Serena is, so could you post a picture of her in her dress?

Back to Queen Noor. On the Queen Noor Jewelry thread, post #58 shows her wearing gold bands on her left hand, but a big round diamond on her right hand. Do Jordanian women wear engagement rings on their right hand? I know that some countries do that. In America we were both engagement and...

I have seen Queen Noor, in a picture wearing a hugh round diamond ring. Don't remember which hand she was wearing in on. But I thought it was engagement/wedding wedding ring.

Thanks for these. There were several that I had not seen. And as I have said before that doesn't happen often.

This may sound funny, but it applies to this thread. I think it was Queen Mary who said that "We love visiting hospitals, and we are never sick." While living in Wales she could devote time to the other English familys, stationed on that base. Also learning about the Welsh, and the language...

Does anyone have a picture of her standing in this dress? I don't believe I have ever seen it before.

It would be a little difficult for Catherine Walker to design a wedding dress for Catherine Middleton. As she died a few weeks ago. However some designer might use one of her designs as an inspiration, or a starting point.

I have a convoluted question. Is there a protocol for length of trains? If William and Catherine choose to get married in Westminister Abby. Will Catherine have complete control of her dress. Or will she "need" to have a train as long as Sarah's was? Or given who William is could her train be...
