What is the necklace that HM is wearing for her speech at the Irish banquet? I can't quite place it. Thanks. :)

The color and style of this gown is exquisite! The only thing I wish for Victoria is a new haircut. Long hair is good for elegant up-dos with a tiara, but she needs a style for when she wears it down. Long ponytails are for teenage girls. No offense to Victoria of course, but as a...

That would be fantastic if they had a member of ABBA write a song in honor of the wedding. That's so sweet. I wonder if Victoria will be wearing her mother's veil as well as the Cameo tiara?

It also just goes to show that some people are never embarrassed, either. See the link below from the New York Times - the Duchess has been running around collecting awards and hitting up bookstores in the midst of the scandal: Scandal or No, the Duchess of York is fully booked I would be...

Yes, that is true. She is behaving like a special interest group/politician. If that's what she wants to do, she should at least be clear about it. I'm disappointed. I've criticized Fergie in the past, but then decided she was pulling her weight after all and I gave her another chance. Now...

The people I feel sorry for in this spectacle are their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Sarah has been touted as being a good mother for staying on amicable terms with Prince Andrew, but was it really for the girls’ sake, or to stay within Andrew’s financial good graces? Beatrice and...

Bright colors flatter Maxima, but there can also be too much of a good thing (i.e. the vibrant purple fur jacket, eye makeup, AND matching earrings). There is a lot to be said, too, for her warm golden and beige numbers. I just wish her hair was smoother and more in control, like at QMII's...

Had Marie worn her hair up, it would've just made her look like a character out of "Dynasty". You are right, this gown does nothing for her.

This is so disappointing. They looked like a lovely match! Well, all the best to Madeleine and I hope she finds her true love.

I agree. Attending William's passing out ceremony is one thing, but a major royal wedding amongst the royals and dignitaries of the world? I find it unlikely that Kate would attend without her own engagement ring, either.

I'm excited to see who will wear what. I wrote a post that featured tiaras that Victoria might choose for her wedding (see here) and discovered the Napoleonic steel-cut tiara, which I never saw before. It is amazing but a little too severe for a wedding. Which, now that I think about it, I don't...

You are right - one's deportment is crucial. Many princesses do pull off a sleeveless gown quite well, but there's just something about sleeve styles that make a dress unique, and gives insight into the taste of the lady.

This is a good question. I think that a tiara should sit a little forward on the top of the head. It should have a graceful arc that bends down the sides of the head, with hair covering it right at the end behind the ears. Hair should usually be up, but if not, then at least gathered half-way up...

EmpressRouge, I love your quote at the bottom "Real princesses always wear sleeves so why do we all go for strapless? " This is EXACTLY what I think! This is why I got a Bolero jacket to wear over my strapless wedding gown - no wedding gown comes with sleeves today, which is disappointing...

Xan resembles his father and his grandmother the Duchess. And because of that, Xan probably does resemble Christian of Denmark - Brigitte is Danish, I believe?

I've not heard of that before, i.e. William looking like Prince Philip. I think Wills looks like a combination of both Charles and Diana but with a stronger genetic tendency towards his father’s side of the family (note William’s mouth - it's got that "horsey" Windsor look to it).

I agree, Princess Caroline looks quite a lot like Princess Charlotte. If you said Stephanie's daughter Pauline was actually Caroline's, I'd believe it. Pauline and Alexandra are very similar. What did everyone think of the Daily Mail's "Throne Clones"?

Royal Friends Who else in the world of royals are best friends aside from Haakon, Victoria, and Frederik; and Mathilde and Mette-Marit?

You have a very good point - William is being educated no matter if he's in a classroom or not. Look at Queen Elizabeth II - she was an apprentice, if you will, to her father. Then she became the monarch herself and learned on the job. I guess I just feel that the princes need more official...

I do like Mathilde's shoes! Maybe Letizia should mix it up a bit more and wear things other than just the platforms. While they are great, she should branch out, perhaps? But she does need to get that perfect height ratio with Felipe! ;)

I wrote a brief article on the Princes' roles at my blog. I still think that Wills needs more class time: --- From the Telegraph: "Prince William has echoed the environmental beliefs of his father at a charity event. Should the Princes take an active role in how Britain is run?" Speaking...

I love Letizia's shoes. They are designed to make her look taller, but it is done in a very subtle and classy way (at least I think so). I worry, though, that through all of her image-enhancing that she is becoming too skinny. She needs to eat more paellas!! :)

The ladies and their gowns at the New Year Court banquet were exquisite. CP Frederik, however, looked pale and unwell. Does anyone know why?

Good grief, she looks positively disgusted on that magazine cover. I hope things work out for her.
