Well Marie was not a scientific project. She was a human being. I have not read the book so I cannot comment on it's accuracy. However if it presents her fairly and factually, then I will be okay with that.

WEll that's what a biographer does, write about the subject's private life. There was a lot of good Queen Marie did for Romania. She also was a very passionate woman and a couple of her children were products of that passion.

Like VM siad, they both were known as Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna. Miechen was known as The Elder and Marie was known as The Younger. Duchess Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Miechen...

I need to re-read that. Thanks for reminding me. I read it like last year. No, that's the bio. Hannah Pakula did on Marie. I have heard it's very very good. Unforunately, my library does not carry it. Ducky's book is this one. It's a good read. Amazon.com: A Fatal Passion: The Story of the...

Can you cite references please? I have GD Marie's book Education of a Princess and nothing is mentioned of that. In "Born to Rule" it mentions nothing of their relationship either. I read Queen Marie's auto biography and there is no mention of GD Dmitry or Marie in it. Thanks! :flowers:

According to Marie the younger Ella didn't do a good job of it.

:previous:The thing is, Sarah doesn't WANT to change, IMO. Changing means she has to take a good, long look at herself and she knows she won't like what she will see. However, one has to do that to get past it. And move on.

I would suggest to Sarah and others "Healing the Shame that Binds you" by Bradshaw followed by a healthy dose of Dr. Laura. There is no way that Sarah could squirm out of her predicament by blaming others once Dr. Laura got ahold of her.

:previous:I don't know VM. There wasn't much written about GDD. I didn't find anything about it in the book on Queen Marie (Born to Rule) and I haven't found anything in Queen Marie's autobio. Here's another place to look, I haven't looked fully here yet. You might find something. Queen Marie -...

Uh, yeah, Yvonne is still waiting for Russo's article on Queen Marie of Romania and it's been about 3 years. . . . I think Andrew feels sorry for Sarah and gives her a place to stay. I wonder what's going to happen with those living arrangements now that the book is going to come out?

This is true and I heartily agree. I have found you can blame your parents for your misfortunate upbringing until you are 18. Then every choice you make in life is on your own shoulders. Seems Sarah still hasn't learned that lesson. Pity.

That's quite hypocritical of sociey since Duff Cooper, Lady Diana's husband was carrying on with Louise de Vilmorin (with her consent) and Oswald Mosley was carrying on with Baba Metcalfe (who was married to Fruity, the Duke of Windsor's buddy) while he was carrying on with a divorced Diana...

Here's an Amazon link. I got my copy from the library. Mr. Russo is NOT happy at the amount of books I currently have as it is! Amazon.com: Michael and Natasha: The Life And Love Of Michael Ii, The Last Of The Romanov Tsars: Rosemary A. Crawford, Donald Crawford: Books That is where I learned...

What do you think of the dress? Personally I thought it a bit loud, however, HM always looks lovely, IMO.

:previous:VM I read somewhere, I can't remember if it were the Crawfords book on Michael or another, however they said there might have been a chance to save the monarcy if N & A would have had Alexi on the throne iwth Michael as regent letting the public know of his illness--not specifics, just...

Oh my! the fashion designer looked like she messed up on her own hat, it looks as if a someone placed a feather duster atop her head!

She did with Johnny Bryan and Steve Wyatt (remember he called her "Fat" when she was pregnant with Eugenie?) though yes, I haven't seen anyone about her that has actively played on her insecurities. She's rather done it herself. Sad to say.

Yes, she says so in her book. However you hadn't read it so yes, you are correct as well. You might want to, though, as it gives some interesting insights as to the relationship that Sarah had with her father Major Ron. And yes, you are spot on, Sarah was never an astute business person nor has...

I think she was being cheeky Ice! :biggrin:

Lesley Player. Find her book, it's very interesting and gives an interesting perspective on the whole scandal as well as sets precedent for Sarah who keeps making the same mistakes over and over and over again. Now, what is she to do? Or what is she doing?

Good God perish the thought! Russo doesn't write. Besides, who would read it? Russo just enjoys a good gossip and fortunately, or unfortunately, the Yorks are providing good fodder for Russo's appetite!

Of course he cares about Sarah. The unfortunate thing is that Sarah is pushing it in a passive agressive way. However, you cannot take advantage of the willing.

Hardly. Prince Andrew won't go against his father Prince Philip's wishes. Don't forget, HM is the Queen of the country however in family matters Prince Philip wears the pants.

I dunno, he was pretty hot on Angie Everhart and that blonde finacier who decided not to get serious with him.

This is true.Minnie played the game and cultivated the courts favor and Alexandra never did which was a huge difference between them.
