I have to say that Mary has inspired me to buy a lot of Danish clothes. I have bought clothes from both Malene Birger and Day Birger and Mikkelsen so I think she is doing a lot for the Danish fashion industry!

I have not bought anything from the Spanish designers that Letizia wears. I think those clothes are really boring. The only things I like about Letizias clothing are her purses and I read somewhere that those are usually YSL so... Judging by Letizia's clothing you could think that the Spanish fashion industry is all about power suits...
I agree. She seems (imo) to look down on people in the news film that I have seen. I have never really warmed up to her like I have to Mary.:(

Maybe he does think about it, and say it anyhow. And this annoys me.

Sommone, who's the man of your avatar?

I would like to add Zara Philips at the list. She seems to me like a cheap Princess Stephanie. She used to slightly annoy me but since that horrible dress at Charles' wedding, I can't even stand a photo of her.

Well the "old duke" should find another way to be sarcastic instead of running off at the mouth because it makes him look bad, and I personally, don't have any tolerance for people like this.

Who do I think is the most annoying royal...well I don't think we all really consider her a royal as of yet, but I think Camilla Parker Bowles just gets on my nerves for some reason. I mean it would make perfect sense if she were this hot, gorgeous, graceful woman but appearantly its all injustice as to how on earth can a man be soo stupidly and blindly in love to leave a woman like Diana for someone like her. You see my point.
I mean, I'm not really pointing at her looks, but common there's also charisma which we all know she lacks.

Evidently she doesn't lack charisma in his opinion, and he is the one that counts.

That doesn't mean she needs to pose in DANSK to discuss her role as patron. Before Camilla became the Duchess of Cornwall she supported the British chapter of an osteoperosis awareness organization but she didn't pose in Hello magazine to discuss her patronage of it. She represented the charity as royals have been doing for decades, even centuries - she put in her time by attending conferences or meeting or dedication ceremonies and the press covered those events. She didn't need to pose at Clarence House in a Prada dress to discuss osteoperosis.
totally agree...

Same here...if you do a charity job, you donīt need to show off!!! At least, thatīs what I think.....
I think that for me, the most annoying royals are : Rania, EA (poor guy), Mabel (wife of Johan Friso), Mary sometimes, Caroline sometimes, Stephanie when she was younger, Princess Grace when she was ambicious sometimes, Maria Laura (daughter of Princess Astrid of Belgium....she never smiles!!!).........

Prince Charles (odd, to say but the way he speaks annoys me, that British accent that he talks so slowly).

the way he followed William at university has been completely exaggerated, largely due to the stories of Mark Bolland (who was working for the PoW at that time).

Hello,

I have to nominate Stephanie de Monaco, Caroline and her husband, Mette-Marit, and Camilla (Although she's a great example of Love conquers all)

Stephanie, well, she is too tacky and lack class. She is a princess and behaves like a she did not have access to money and education
Caroline and Ernst look to pompous
as for Camilla, I don't like what she stands for, she personifies one reason why Charles and Diana never got to be happy in their marriage. She is there to remind me that people cheating can hurt a lot of people down the road. I have to admit that she's been hanging there, with her prince for a whole lot but still, it is a bitter-sweet feeling.
And, of course, Mette-Marit, I just don't seem to get to like her, don't like her looks, don,t like her style,....

Hmm...for me, the most refreshing part of the whole Charles-Camilla story is that she lacks so much in terms of conventional physical beauty, and yet he still loves her. That to me, hints that she must have a really lovely personality, and lots of charisma. None of us can do anything about the looks we were born with (unless you're willing to have plastic surgery, and even then, the kind of improvements you can make are limited). You're either blessed with it, or you're not. Its sad to me that many people make a big fuss about Camilla's appearance, something that she more or less no control over. Its not like she CHOSE not to be born with supermodel genes.

Understatement of the century!
For the rest I agree. I personally don't reproach her to be physically hideous, but rather morally hideous (beauty is inside, isn't it??)

I agree. I think Princess Michael of Kent is the most annoying. She needs to remember she ONLY married royalty...she is not one herself.

I find it ironic for a woman with such airs...her mother worked in a beauty salon and so did she when she was younger in Australia...just like regular people, not to insult anyone.

Her bloodline may be impressive, but not her life.

She should take a page from the Duchesses of Kent and Gloucester and remember her place.

Actually Princess Micheal is the second most royal 'royal' of the British royal family. She can claim this through her links to all the crown heads of Europe and of Russian. So yes, she is more blood royal.
The most royal person in case you wondered is the Duke of Edinburgh.
