Her LIW is supposed to be behind her - but she is almost hiding. The sister acts the two of them had some time ago did not go over well with the royal house. Especially as the LIW is very charismatic and beautiful.
First, Mary's LIW is not hiding, and second, there never were "sister acts".
To have a good relationship with each other and smile at each other does not mean there is a "sister act".
Mary is the CP, Caroline is her LIW and she does and always did exactly what she has to do, from the beginning.
Mary on the other hand had to greet the people who came to meet her.
So, no time for chatting with her LIW. They both know their duties.
I don't have a problem with Caroline and can't see why others have or why it is not good for Mary's image to have her LIW behind her.
(In fact I think that's quite a nonsense.)
But then of course I don't think Caroline is very beautiful. In my eyes she is just good looking and has a natural elegance
but definitely no charisma. If it weren't for her red hair I wouldn't notice her.
That's the strange thing with Mary. I don't find her very beautiful (only good looking, like her LIW) nor very elegant but somehow she catches my eyes.
And she seems to be a very self-confident woman.
Her best friend Amber Petty also is more beautiful than Mary, by mens' standards, and she was bridesmaid.
No fear of other good looking women. Good for Mary!
