That is so romantic! I must look for this book. The Beau Rivage would be hugely expensive now, but when the exchange rate was good and Dad got tax deductions for travel, I stayed there a few times with my parents. It has always been my favourite hotel since! It was just so luxurious and...

Kate seems to be very discreet and sensible so I think that she'll be an excellent Queen. I was quite excited also to find out that she and I share a distant ancestor - Sir Philip Meadows who was one of Cromwell's ambassadors! He wasn't a Royalist like me, apparently! Best Regards...

Opinion? What do you think of it, Zembla? One review on Amazon was very bad. I haven't got much time for either of them. I'm inclined to think that she was just a gold-digger and he shouldn't have given up the throne. Attaining Grace

re: Marriage of Danish royal couple I agree that it's just grubby journalism. The gossip magazines become very annoying too when they feature photos of the Prince and Princess looking unhappy or bored when there are plenty of photos showing them smiling and happy. It seems like an extremely...

Hi Carlotta, That's my favourite too. It's a chic but comfortable outfit. Best, Attaining Grace

I really think that that is ridiculous! I really feel that these scriptwriters should stop taking such license with history. One of my favourite royal films is Young Bess which does play around with history a bit but not in any major way I feel. It stays true to the substance of the life of...

I think that there is still a great controversy about whether Katherine of Aragon's marriage to Arthur was consummated or not. Historians disagree on this subject. Henry did marry Anne because of old-fashioned lust and his desire to have an heir but I agree that he was a deeply spiritual man...

Thank you Thank you, Truly Thata. That's the perfume that I'd like for my birthday! My favourite is L'air du Temps by Nina Ricci. I hope that Princess Mary likes that too. Best Regards, Attaining Grace

Thank you very much, Von Schlesian! I am sorry that this is so belated. Regards, Attaining Grace

Thank you Hello Marine, Thank you for your kind welcome. I am finding the posts, especially those about history, very interesting. I am sorry that my thank you is so belated! Best Regards, attaining grace

Hello everyone, I'm an Australian too, KelliB, and I absolutely agree with you. I'll be very sad if Australia becomes a republic and I really don't see the point. I think that it's just part of a hidden agenda by certain people here. I like living in a constitutional monarchy because the...

Hello Monaco70s, I seem to be gradually acquiring a collection of movies about royalty. At present they're on the TV stand! Storage is a big problem for me in an apartment. I'm interested in ideas as well. Regards, Attaining Grace Lisa-Anne Sanderson Writer and Editor - Writing and editing...

Princess Mary! I was pleased to be Princess Mary because I am a fellow Aussie and proud of her! I think that if I were Princess Mary, however, I'd probably be quite clumsy and put my foot in my mouth! It looks like I will have to try to attain her grace. LOL Best Regards, Attaining Grace

Princess Mary I would also like to know what Princess Mary wears! Regards, Attaining Grace

Hello Chrissy, It's all very shocking. I remember that there was an argument not very long ago that history should be taught in chronological order - at least as much as possible! I was astonished that there was a great outcry about this because I agreed. I studied history at school thirty...

Hello Chrissy, I should have put all these replies into one post, I'm sorry. This surely can't be literally true! How could they possibly be taught that Gallipoli is a great victory? What are the textbooks that they are using? Is this something to do with what they are learning about...

I think that PW really doesn't want to be G-G at all but it's been jumped at by the Republican press. I am an Australian and I would be perfectly happy to have him as G-G myself, but I can see that this would ruin the argument (with which I certainly agree) that our G-G is our Head of State and...

Hello everyone, I've studied Law and I fail to understand why so many people are Republicans when we are a completely independent country legally. Many of them have an Irish background or they are immigrants and I understand their views to some extent but I don't understand people with a...

re: Ole Henrikson Thank you very much, Little Star. I will see if all of those products are available here. If not, I may have to continue with Lancome which has always been good. Best Regards, Attaining Grace

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if I should try Ole Henrikson's products. I have quite sensitive skin. Attaining Grace

Royalty mags Hello everyone, I live in Brisbane and didn't know that these magazines were available at Borders! The problem is that every time I go there I end up buying some of the 'three for two' books so it can be expensive! Best Regards, Attaining Grace Lisa-Anne Sanderson Writer and...

Interesting Books about the Romanovs and Russian History Hello everyone, I'm interested in learning about the books that you've enjoyed concerning Russian history. I am reading Romanov Autumn which is very interesting. It has lots of short chapters about different Romanovs and their...

Hello Lady Bluffton, I don't understand what you mean about Crown Princess Mary's motives? I think that she and Prince Frederick are very much in love and it would make a wonderful movie. I also agree that the story of the Greek royals would make a very exciting film. Best Regards...

re: Marie Antoinette WARNING: SPOILER I liked the new film of Marie Antoinette and I thought that the costumes were fabulous. However, I thought that Kirsten Dunst was far too American for the part. It also ended just when the story became exciting - just before the trial! What did everyone...

Hello everyone, I am not all that good at introductions so I will answer the questions too. How did you find the Royalty Forums? I found them through the Alexander Palace website: Russian History Websites - Romanov Dynasty - Alexander Palace What is your favourite ice cream flavour...
