Prince and Princess Michael of Kent Current Events 2: October 2005-March 2006

[BeatrixFan]

Princess Michael is to appear on 'Wogan'. UKTVGold are doing a new show called 'Wogan : Then and Now' and guests who appeared on 'Wogan' will be shown a clip of their first appearance and will be asked how much their lives have changed since then. Not sure when it's going out but the interview with Princess Michael is already in the can.

 

[Saragli]

Thank you for telling the truth and correcting me. I dont really have that much of an opinion on her. I do believe she is a bit showy, and uses her position to benefit her too much. She looks stunning though. I wish she would do more to help her image.

 

[pollyemma]

The Queen hasn't always approved of Princess Michael's tendency to mouth off and be high handed, but she is very much a "live and let live" person. It would not be in her character to exclude Prince and Princess Michael from royal events, but it's probably fair to say she is not crazy about Marie-Christine. Princess Margaret, in particular, was known to be quite vocal in her dislike of her.

was there anybody in the royal family that Princess Margaret liked?

Wow, Prince Michael definitely has an air of King George V about him. I've always thought that the family resemblance was strong, but these photos REALLY show it up. For some reason, I notice less of a resemblance among QEII's children as compared to George V's relations. or is it just me?

Prince Michael is a patron of the Institute of Linguists.

Here is a pic of him at www.iol.org.uk
I don't know much about him though, is there any reason why he would choose this to be patron of, ie; a special interest in languages?

 

[dakodas]

Considering the association of Jersey with cows, that might not be the best place to give her.

I think that Jersey is historically linked with one of the most celebrated royal mistresses EVER, the actress Lillie Langtry.

I think Prince Michael resembles his cousin Czar Nicolas here. It really is amazing.

 

[Royal Fan]

It kinda sad to know the Tsar couldve lived to be that old in fact he couldve become Godfather to Michael

[PreDoc]

Wow, I hope I look that good when I'm 61.

How does she do it?

 

[kelly9480]

Botox. She even admits to it.

And she's had several surgeries for skin cancer cells caused by carelessness when she was younger.

 

[Idriel]

Botox. She even admits to it.

Botox indeed. Add to that a great bone stucture and seriously good genes too.
A lot of women her age using botox (or even surgery) don't look half as good as she does.

I do this all the time. I don't understand why she's getting a bad rap for it

from telegraph.co.uk:

Pushover

There are few women audacious enough to try to upstage American Vogue editor Anna Wintour at a fashion show, but Princess Michael of Kent made a pretty good fist of it yesterday.

For even though Allegra Hicks's show was crammed with big names, including Wintour, Bryan Adams and fashion legend Suzy Menkes, Princess Pushy was determined to be the star.

"She had arranged that she'd wait in her car and go in only once she'd been tipped off that all the other names had arrived and the show was about to start," says my source.

"True to the plan, she made her grand entrance, took her place on the front row and the show started 30 seconds later - purporting to suggest to everyone there, including the big guns, that the organisers held up the show especially for her."

 

[Missyjojo88]

Wow the press really hates her. They should be thankful they have someone like her to write about.

 

[james]

The article contradicts itself on two points. Firstly, slipping in quietly and taking your seat just as the curtain rises is obviously the antithisis of "making a grand entrance" then it suggests that the show was held up for her for a whole 30 SECONDS!

She would have been as well swanning about in front of the press before going in. At least that way we could have got to see some good photos and she couldn't have been criticised anymore than she has been for trying to be discreet.

[Toledo]

Prince and Princess of Kent are like characters from another era, he exudes royalty like none other and she is always exquisite. Even when she has a mouth that has a mind of her own she tells it like it is like none other.

 

[iowabelle]

I wonder if the Majesty cover and article are part of their attempts to sell their house?

 

[Toledo]

Like free publicity to push a real estate deal or a book? I think you are 100 % right.

 

[Elspeth]

Well, the last Majesty interview with Princess Michael included one photo of her sitting next to Ingrid Seward (the editor of Majesty, who was doing the interview) on a sofa. It seems as though Ingrid Seward is firmly in Princess Michael's pocket; she and her children get all sorts of coverage in that magazine that neither the Duke of Kent and his family nor the Duke of Gloucester and his family get.

Well the comparison is not very fair. Both Kent and Gloucester senior and junior and far more low profile and discreet than M-C and kids. Even if Seward wanted to give a extended coverage, there wouldn't have much to say.

Like free publicity to push a real estate deal or a book? I think you are 100 % right.

The Majesty interview is indeed constructed like a promotional outlet for Neither Lippiatt.
There are plenty of pictures of the domain (outside and inside) and the Princes pose together in drawing rooms.

 

[Elspeth]

The magazine could at least stick a photo of one or other of the Gloucesters in the Court and Social section more than once in a blue moon. There are photos of Princess Michael and/or her children in there practially every month. Of course the Gloucesters are going to have a low profile if Majesty ignores their existence.
