I voted for Prince Amedeo because he's just so good looking!

Actually I stand by that, she is hardly known. Sure, she is occasionally reported on in some tabloids or gossip magazines but that does not mean she is well-known.Madame Royale said:I never said it did.
You did however say that beyond Australia and Denmark you believe Mary is hardly known and that is, well..incorrect.

The average person on the street would probably have little idea or interest
But then that is true of every royal families beside the British. They are the only one with real international appeal.Little_star said:The average person on the street would probably have little idea or interest.
Not sure that's true compared to the Dutch crown princess given the fact that there are already over 16 million people in the Netherlands to begin with (compared to not even half that in Denmark), and Maxima is in Australia, Mary's home turf, almost as much recognized because of the many Dutch immigrants and folks of Dutch decent there. In Latin America, Maxima and Letizia have a real head's up because of the whole Latino/Spanish language angle. Not to get pedantic but if you're talking about recognition, Maxima definitely has a leg or two up from Mary. (if we're speaking of recognition that 'stretches from one continent to another', try Maxima's old turf of Argentina for example, a country of almost 40 million people, who almost all know exactly who the Dutch princess is!)Madame Royale said:But in comparison to say the Crown Princesses of Belgium, Norway, or the Netherlands for example (and respectively), Mary is more widely recognised given the distribution of the interest which stretches across the globe, from one continent to another. So you can stand by whatever comment you wish, Little_star

When Maxima was in Australia, I don't think she was recognized that much at all. At least not compared with how much recognize Mary! In terms of news coverage, there was next to nothing of their visit, personally, i had to search for news on them, it wasnt really covered on mainstream news.
I really don't think she was very much recongized when she was here. She may have been recognized by a few people (handful of Dutch community)Certainly not 'almost as much' as Mary was recognized. The Dutch community makes up over 1.35% of the Australian population i believe.
Australian said:whatever. Madame Royale was saying earlier that Mary's recognition stretches over various continents unlike some of the other princesses like Maxima of the Netherlands.When Maxima was in Australia, I don't think she was recognized that much at all.

Well, if we just calculate in Maxima's being recognized in Argentina, the country she's born in which has a population of almost 40 mil, than whatever recognition she has or hasn't in Australia, a country with only 2 million more inhabitants than even the Netherlands, is not that relevant for the argument that if it comes down to recognition, Maxima and Letizia have a bigger share - LAtin America, it's called. A continent where Maxima and Letizia are more recognized than Mary. And again, nothing against Mary, on the contrary.
besides Australia, Scandinavia and Germany perhaps, Mary doesn't get much recognition, it seems to me. But so what? The topic here is beauty and Mary is doing extremely well in the poll & in real life too with a lovely life, husband, family & gig, so why the chips on the shoulder? I for one have nothing against the girl, although I voted for Grace, if that is allowed.
Now that is an interesting pov. I don't disagree with you on that one, especially regarding her face and her demeanor.Australian said:nobody is getting defensive, lol. Just telling you my perspective. I think the most beautiful royal woman is Sophie Wessex, she is quietly beautiful.

Not sure sometimes re her clothing choices let's say. If I may come back to Mary I think Sophie could really learn a thing or two about style from the princess of Denmark!
Australian, you're making me regret my vote!! Voted for lovely Grace of Monaco, but had I actually met her, I think I'd have been to intimidated to say much, let alone over a beer! Agree true beauty <is> an inside as well as an 'outside' job, and it shouldn't be intimidating. I could for that reason never have a beer with Rania (not that I'd get the opportunity!), her beauty's so picture-perfect, it would just put me off.Australian said:true! I think what draws me to Sophie is that she is internally beautiful, im guessing, because she seems like someone you can have a beer with and share a laugh and not worry about how your looks are- that is what true beauty is to me.
I mean, i am attracted to girls i know who are not necessarily physically attractive but have beautiful personalities and soul- thats the selling point for me.
