Hi Jalmey, Yes there is a big difference between popular support by the media for legitimate reasons and manipulating the media during a nasty marriage/divorce. I saw this documentary on Diana where it said Charles resented the attention she received from the media almost from the start...

Hi Cathy, You said in point 3. Someone who is not willing to upstage Felipe on events/walkabouts like Princess Diana did. I don't understand how you could require that of any woman unless you change them completely. If a woman is beautiful and stylish, and her husband is duddy, she will...

Jacqueline, I can assure you I wasn't making fun of commoners especially those who marry exiled and/or deposed royals. What I believe is that those who retain the title of king or queen and crown prince or crown princess, after they are deposed, devalue and demean what those titles mean for...

Does anyone but me feel sorry for these people? What if on the day, one has a headache or cramps, or just doesn't feel like getting dressed up and smiling that day? What a lot of work! It's even more than a regular 9 to 5 job. :unsure:

Interesting about what Queen Mary reportedly did. If it's true, I'd be a little embarrassed to wear the tiara. Who was it that refused the tsar and his family refuge in England, was that George V, Queen Mary's husband?

Wonderful compilation Josefine. ;) I liked all the different years, except 1990 was a little interesting. :blink:

Who knows? King Albert does admit to having a grown daughter born out of wedlock, after he married Queen Paola. I wonder why the crown was suppose to go directly to Prince Philippe and bypass his father, and why that changed?

No doubt, it would be interesting, but proper? Marie-chantal is not even a real princess or real royalty. She doesn't have a country to represent. Maybe she should, but the current fact is that she does not.

That's an interesting question Alexandria. Family dynamics of royalty can be so intriguing. I was looking at pictures of Queen Paola last night, and she looks like a wonderful person. She also looks rather apologetic which is highly unusual to see in royalty. I bet there's a story and a...

Thanks for all the beautiful pictures. What is the story behind Queen Paola? I've never heard anything about her.

The whole time I was pregnant, I felt like Caroline looks. Poor thing, I can sympathize. :( :shock:

Pictures from www.corbis.com Olav V was the next king, but without a Queen as Princess Märtha already had died in 1954. His daughter Ragnhild had married a Norwegian commoner in 1953. Princess Astrid acted as the first lady until her marriage in 1961. Crown Prince Harald met Sonja Haraldsen...

It's hard to say where the fault lies in family squabbles, especially those between parent and child. From the Mirror.

The youngest son, Miguel, is just too cute. He looks like he's forming an early opinion about paparazzi. :lol:

Hi Jalmey, "It seems that once a country gets rid of their royality, that's pretty much it, ..." But Spain's royalty was restored after a long absence. I see a royal house as so important in taking some of the PR needs off the government. It seems in the USA, the President and his family...

Thanks Josefine for those super pictures. I'm gonna try it now to see if I can post some from the same website you mentioned. Pictures from www.corbis.com

Nice pictures, thanks. I wonder what the estate looks like that the Queen gave them for a wedding gift? Is it big enough for a child? :rolleyes:

Queen Elizabeth II should have given some of the royal tiaras to her daughter-in-laws. Who is she saving them for?

Princess Alexia doesn't look too happy in her photos, or maybe she thinks why put on a smile? I can't blame her. It has to be heartbreaking to leave one's own country, to say nothing about the beautiful residential estates left behind. I wish that Greece would restore its royal family, but...

Thanks Josefine and Danjel for all the great pictures. Now I know where Prince Nikolaos (sp?) of Greece gets his exceptional good looks.

Jacqueline, Thanks. You took the words right out of my mouth. Besides that, she is without a doubt a cute little girl. Adorable looking in fact. I don't know how anyone could say otherwise. However, I have to disagree with you about any newborn looking cute. I not sure of the truth...

Silvia Sommerlath looks like a well known actress from 20-25 years ago but I can't seem to recall which one -- maybe Lindsey Wagner or Katherine Ross?

Who is the man to the right in the 2nd to last photo. It looks as if Phillipe is telling him to keep his hands off his wife :o ;)

What I see as the problem is not Maxima's choice in colors or style, but her own coloring is not good -- something seems labored about her as if she is in physical pain. I don't get this impression from any of the other royals currently, so maybe it's not just my imagination. She should get...
