"Only King Juan Carlos will ever know what really happened on the evening before Good Friday, 1956. He was 18 and whiling away the holiday with his 14-year-old brother, Alfonso, in a bedroom of the exiled royal family's home in Estoril, Portugal. The blond "Don Alfonsito" had won a local junior...

Andrea is just way too cool. I wonder how he gets along with his stepdad? :innocent:

Maybe Prince Felipe will not get married. He is getting a little old, and may just put it off indefinitely as has Prince Albert of Monaco. Then it will be up to his sisters' children to carry on the title.

I wonder if Camilla and Charles's son would have looked as good as Prince William? B)

I agree Helena, there is something unique about Queen Paola that is especially appealing. ;)

Thanks for your reply Fireweaver. It seems only about 50 years before that, England and Germany attacked Russia when they invaded Turkey? (somewhere south of the Crimea), so it would seem they weren't too intimidated. It might have been due to all the crimes the tzar was charged with so of...

Hi Jalmey, All other things being equal, it would be best for Felipe's wife to be closer to him in age, which would also mean she knows more about herself and what she wants or does not really want in life. However, there is a lot of exceptions in the other things that may or may not be equal...

Speaking of Camilla, I wonder why Prince Harry couldn't make it? I know it reported that he was sitting for school pictures, but really, that could always be rescheduled for something so important, eh? :innocent:

Hi Jalmey, With all your research on the last Romanov family, do you know why they did not or could not get asylum with their relatives in England -- George V and in Germany -- the Kaiser? Weren't these rulers all rather close cousins?

I watched a documentary on the Russian tzars last night. The revolution was 100 years in the making, building up support and urgency, so the last Russian royal family were in the hands of fate. I don't think they could have done much to change anything, except to have left Russia earlier...

There's never too many Diana pictures. Always a delight. ;)

Thanks Alexandria, it's about time we saw a bunch of good pictures of Sophie, Countess of Wessex. I think she's had a hard time being accepted by the British public and some say it's due in large part to the PR campaign Prince Charles has had against Sophie and Edward.

Thanks Alexandra for the fill in. Emanuele Filiberto is so cute though. Too bad he can't be king.

I never heard of him. Who is he?

What a wonderful looking family, I'm impressed. The little Princess Elizabeth is definitely daddy's little girl. Sadly, the king's and queen's body language looks like they don't like each other much.

http://www.hellomagazine.com/2003/05/28/princessdiana/ "There are so many unpleasant things that have been written about Princess Diana, the time has come to remember this special and positive side to her life," said author Ros Coward. "I want to give an authentic view of her charitable work...

Thanks much Julia. Princess Charlotte definitely had the dominant genes in the family. She must have been an interesting lady, but what I remember hearing about her is too vague to recall in type.

Fireweaver, He checks here for opinions on his merry Mary. :lol:

http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_785319.html The Prince of Wales was among those looking on as his youngest son led the guard of honour's march out on to College Field with their colours at the yearly tattoo. As well as the parade and inspection of the Royal Guard, the hour-long tattoo...

Prince Harry takes command of Eton parade Prince Harry has taken charge of a 48-strong parade of military cadets at Eton, fuelling speculation he may opt for a military career. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_785319.html Harry, 18, was appointed Commander of Eton's Combined Cadet...

Caroline is a gorgeous lady. I always wondered that she or Stephanie didn't look a little more like their mother. Prince Albert does but only a little, and he doesn't count being a guy and all. Actually, they don't look much like their father either, but do resemble his mother I think it...

Diana could be as mean and nasty as anyone else -- but she learned she had to be that way to survive. Consider the source of all this -- who started it all by being his usual pansy self? Charles married and used Diana as a breeder only in response to pressure from "The Firm" and from his...

That's too bad about Harry drinking, but that is one way children cope when they have to live with one parent trashing the other, and then having to :sick: playing nicey nice about it. I suppose Charles will now play good dad and ride to the rescue by taking Harry to see some more addicts...

I see where the Spencers and Camilla have been invited to Will's Do. I just cringe everytime I see a picture of Charles and Camilla. It wouldn't be so bad if they met after Charles's marriage turned sour, but they planned the demise of that marriage before Charles and Diana were even married...

What did that Mary do in the third picture up from this one, goose the guy? She needs to go to another "finishing school". :shock:
