Tis all good because people know they better not mess with the Queen. :lol:

Thanks a million for posting all that Alexandria. I'll have to agree that Caroline would have to be brutal to steal her good friend's husband like that. I haven't followed Stephanie's various liasons to know if she did the same, but in my circle, husband stealing is far more trashy than...

1.Now what would they do in such a large house? Do you suppose they play hide and seek, or slide down the bannisters? This house at Bagshot Park was also given to a 3rd son many years ago -- Prince Arthur by Queen Victoria. http://www.freemantle.dabsol.co.uk/bp/duke.htm 2-5.This is quite a...

It refers to a region in the mountains between Spain and France, so you have the French Basque (oohlala) and the Spanish Basque. The ones I knew were all sheephearders, but they had some purdy mean Basque terrorists for awhile too but I haven't heard much about them lately.

:lol: Thanks for the correction. After awhile, all those Grand Duchess Charlottes start to look alike. Pictures from Danjel's site.

How could that be possible? HRH Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg looks like such a quality lady. :innocent: That's a big drawback of royalty is that those who would be rejects in any other part of society get to hold onto their illusions in their cushioned royal life. It looks like...

I doubt it. It's all in the family. Many consider Queen Beatrix's father Prince Bernhard as a main player in the #1 shady group in the world -- Bilderberg group, the Council of Foreign Relations, the Rockefellars and Rothchild's, all one and the same. Also keep in mind that Mabel has been...

Whatever, losing a mother at age 17 is one of the worse ages I think to have that happen. It often leaves long-time scars. :shock:

There's sure no question about who is dad to Prince Philippe :flower:

The prince can tour a restored glass house and yet he can't attend the laying of the foundation stone for the Diana, Princess of Wales memorial. What happened? I thought Charles was trying to play the self-styled widower. :rolleyes:

All infidelities are not the same by my definition. IF the marriage was a sham to begin with because of Charles's duplicity, and IF he was the first to leave the marital bed for another woman, THEN there's not a lot left to be faithful for. So what did Diana have to show fidelity to -- a...

It's probably safe to say that if Prince Edward Ignored Sophie in addition to flaunting his mistress under her nose, that Sophie would find love and comfort with another man too. Maybe it would be more accurate to say that Prince Charles and Fergie behaved like uncivilized animals, while...

Really? I hadn't heard that Sophie was so well liked compared to Diana or Fergie. By whom? Maybe the queen has learned from her past mistakes and is trying a little more to treat Sophie like a human being.

I don't remember when royal children around the ages of Princes William and Harry have ever been so villified? Amazing! And yet the press is quietly tiptoeing around cowzilla. Sounds like some spin going on to me. Betsy: "IMO it is Harry's loyalty to & respect for his late mother that is...

http://www.news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?id...7892003&tid=642 The Diana memorial fountain finally breaks ground. The foundation stone was a 1.5 ton piece of granite! and there was a ceremony, but not a single royal attended even though they think laying foundation stones for public places is an...

I wonder if this "inquest" will be another formality like the French investigation which concluded Henri Paul's blood alcohol level was responsible. Funny how the coroner specifically noted NO odor of alcohol which is always noted in the body cavities of someone with a blood alcohol level of...

Hi Sara, Neither one of your two links work???? :o :question:

Thanks for the explanation Catherine. It seems like Leopold was a victim of some unknown circumstance. Sometimes great stress and grief can by itself lead to remarriage. As far as his potential alliance with Hitler, well, Hitler pulled the wool over the eyes of a lot of people including...

CP Frederik looks a little too grim in his pictures with Mary. If she was smart, she'd run back to those Tasmanian hills as fast as she could. Even the Tasmanian Devil will look good by comparison. It could be no woman will be right for this prince, or maybe Mary is the wrong one -- but...

Great pictures Catherine. Many thanks. I wonder why his public was so hard on Leopold III? I know it's something about his being a German prisoner during the war, but how could it have been different? It would seem that when his parents and wife were so popular, the public would have been...

I suspect the Queen Mum's shallow and mean-spirited attitute might have set the stage for the low opinion in which the British monarchy is held today. It's fitting that Prince Charles was closest to her and is the one to preserve her memory in Clarence House and in the choice of who should...

Was it really necessary to roll back the shutters on a distant and rigid monarchy? Some personal matters regarding disfunction within families is better left in private -- if there's no good reason to know, which would be the case with the British monarchy, except for one thing. I do suspect...

I'm sure that where Her Majesty is concerned, the night has a thousand eyes. :innocent:

Hi Jalmey, You could have a point too in that the only ones who really know what happened between Charles and Diana is either one/or both of them. However, there isn't always 2 sides to every issue, at least not 2 "good" sides because there are many sociopaths, psychopaths, narcissists and...

What if, just what if the whole story is different than that fed the media -- being the conspiracy nut that I am -- what if Charles wasn't the one that rejected Diana initially, but the other way around? I remember thinking when they got married that Diana had far to much style, grace, charm...
