That's a shame to have to miss his own father's birthday. Just goes to show his dedication to his duties.

I'm just curious... I remember reading that Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit lived in London a few years ago, and I wonder if Prince Andrew ever became close friends with or socialized with Haakon and MM while they were living there. Anyone know?

 

[her royal highness]

I dunno if he and they were friends but I know he's looking fine and together in that first pic. Is it gettin hot in here?

xx hrh xx

 

[Lady Jean]

Yeah I think he hasn't looked this good since the early 80's! It's been a treat seeing him at so many occasions the past month or so.

 

[Heidi P.]

Does anyone know if Andrew is seriously dating anyone now?

 

[her royal highness]

That's a good question if he's dating anyone but seriously doubt it he's too busy. The only time she'd get to see him was weekends.

The Biography Channel in the UK is showing his biography again Thursday; July 20th @ 8:00 p.m.

Princess Beatrice has Sarah's hair color, but I think her face in general looks more like Andrew's.

Whereas Princess Eugenie has Andrew's hair color, but I'm undecided as to who her facial features are more like...

For me, i find that eugenie has Prince Andrews stare

She seems to have the most amazing grey eyes, but I don't think I've ever seen Andrew stare like that.

Beatrice has her mother's hair and her father's eyes and facial features. But I don't think Eugenie looks like Andrew or Sarah. I think she takes after the Queen Mother's line.

 

[CATS]

grey eyes? They look blue to me.

 

[Roslyn]

grey eyes? They look blue to me.

They look grey to me, but they could be blue. Sometimes blue eyes look a bit grey depending on the light. Whichever it is, they are amazing.

 

[Opal]

One thing's for sure... Beatrice and Eugenie don't look anything alike! They couldn't be more opposite. If you didn't know better, you wouldn't even think they were sisters.

[her royal highness]

I just don't see Angie Everhart being Andrew's gf. She's goes with anybody famous. He can do better.

xx hrh xx

 

[Bella]

I so agree, HRH. I may be wrong but Angie Everhart doesn't strike me as a woman with a particular amount of class. She might be fun for a "good time" but I can't see Prince Andrew getting into anything serious with her. And I don't think it would fly well with his family (esp. the parents) or the public as well.

 

[Ella Kay]

She seems to have the most amazing grey eyes, but I don't think I've ever seen Andrew stare like that.

Beatrice has her mother's hair and her father's eyes and facial features. But I don't think Eugenie looks like Andrew or Sarah. I think she takes after the Queen Mother's line.

I think that's possible -- she looks a lot like a young Princess Margaret to me in some photographs.
