Wow, the beauty of Princess Luisa Maria is really blossoming... And Princess Laetitia Maria is adorable as always... Why was Princess Elisabeth absent? All the other female cousins were present even incl the new-born Princess Eleonore...:rolleyes:

I don't think they would call him "Bonpa" as it is a French speaking family instead of Flemish... :tongue:

She's very charming... Her face and her style somehow remind me of Princess Lilian of Belgium(Princess de Réthy)... But Silvia looks more amiable and brighter. Her smiles are really sweet, which could melt anyone... :)

Lovely name! Adorable girl! What a blessing... Congratulations to the family~~

Thanks, GlitteringTiaras, nice pics! All the babies of Marie-Gabriele were so beautiful and adorable. Pity that most of them died so young.... :ermm:

Wow, that is vividly beautiful! :)

O, ja, you are right. I forgot the Katharina Amalie of Baden :tongue:. Yes, German princesses seemed to be favoured brides to marry to the throne at that time, esp. in Russian court(please correct me if I am wrong).

Thanks. Stefan. Caroline of Baden was also the mother of Sophie of Bavaria, who was the twin sister of Marie Anna(Queen of Saxony), and the maternal aunt and mother in law of famous Empress Elisabeth of Austria(Sissy). :) Yes, actually, both Baden sisters and Mecklenburg-Strelitz had another...

I just found the interesting coincidence of 4 contemporary German princesses, who were two pairs of sisters, all bore the fames of greaty beauty, and all became Queens(Tsarina). :rolleyes: 1.i. Princess Luise Auguste Wilhelmine Amalie, Herzogin von(zu?) Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1776-1810), Queen...

I thought Princess Lilian should be at least one of the godmothers of Archduchess Marie-Astrid of Austria nee Luxembourg, the first child of HRH Josephine-Charlotte, as her full name is Marie-Astrid Liliane Charlotte Léopoldine Wilhelmine Ingeborg Antoinette Elisabeth Anna Alberta.:rolleyes:

O? In Germany, "Prinzessin" will beindicated in the passport? Ummm, I thought only "von" and "zu" are allowed. How about Italy/France:rolleyes:?

I am wondering, what would the names be for royals and aristocracies on official documents(say, on their passports)? Both given names and family names. :rolleyes: I read somewhere that both French+British goverments would still keep titles of nobility on documents, perhaps German too? And...

Well, he was a prince of Savoia, but he was actually the 3rd Duke of Aosta instead of Duke of Savoy. ;)

Does anyone know about the lady standing beside Princess Margaret? Is she 10th Duchess of Marlborough, Lady Alexandra Mary Cadogan? http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/3488/0861111sq6.jpg thanks. :)

Thanks for your charming article, Marengo. :) It is amusing to have a glance at the way that Queen Juliana had been through to her final husband. However, sometimes, I can't help feeling somewhat sorry that, as you indicated, " "young people require a bit more than just intellect"; they were...

Ummm, talking about the resemblance, to be honest, I could only see her and her mother Sybille very much alike... :rolleyes: Whether she is really the biological daughter of King Albert II --- we might never know about the truth --- I would say, perhaps people should just let what is gone be...

The maternal grandmother of Duchess Diane was countess Elisabeth Dobrzensky de Dobrzenicz, whom was considered to be not royal by her mother-in-law Isabel Princess Imperial of Brazil. Her husband thus renounced his rights to the throne of Brazil right before their marriage. I guess that's...

Coincidently, The dresses Princess Margaretha of Liechtenstein(nee Luxembourg) was wearing at these two occasions were almost the same too... ;) Catharina's Wedding: http://pro.corbis.com/images/0000349748-016.jpg?size=67&uid={6fa5f885-7af9-4eeb-85b0-0d7f79d9c1ad} Xenia's Wedding: Picasa Web...

Ummm, is the treatment here referring to the titles or allowance or ...? As for the titles, it depends. but normally it would come from the paternal side. That's why many princesses who married to a commoner, their children would not bear any royal titles. Like the children of the Swedish...

Yes, but I was referring to the title of "HIH", His/Her Imperial Highness. All the other grandchildren of King Albert and Queen Paola have gained only the titles of HRH, His/Her Royal Highness, while the children of Princess Astrid are styled both HIH and HRH. :)

Well, because her father is styled as Archduke of Austria-Este, Prince Imperial of Austria, Prince Royal of Hungary and Bohemia by birth, and he was also created Prince of Belgium by Royal Decree of 10 Nov, 1995. So all the children of Prince Lorenz and Princess Astrid are styled as HIRH, of...

I think she somewhat resembles Archduchess Elisabeth Maria Henriette Stephanie Gisela, the only child of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria (suicided son of Empress Elisabeth, "Sisi") and Princess Stéphanie, daughter of King Léopold II of the Belgians. Archduchess Elisabeth Marie of Austria -...
