[Chanel]

Thank You so much for the photos that you are posting. Are there any that you have of her wearing a tiara?

As for the green dress that she wore to the Dutch royal wedding last Feb. by Oscar de la renta, it STILL SCARES me..... Sorry to admit it, but, it was not appropriate for the occasion what so ever......

Not the most opportune time for a photo of MC is it?

Getting back to the "real" Princess or not debate. - even if one dismisses the Greek Princess title as null and void because the monarchy has been abolished, Marie Chantal can still claim to be a Princess of Denmark through her mother in law Queen Anne Marie - so constitutionally she is a "real" princess!!

[Fireweaver]

actually she can't. The title isn't passed through the female (Queen Anne-Marie's) line.
The Greek royal family are Prince/Princesses of Greece and Denmark because a younger son of a Danish king had become the new king of Greece and his dad wanted his heirs to be Prince/Princesses of Denmark.

[Alexandria]

I read on the Glittering Royals message board that Princess Marie-Chantal might be pregnant again. One of the pictures to "prove" this point was a picture of MC at Ana-Maria's baptism. The "evidence" was that the bottom button on MC's jacket had been left unbuttoned and that MC who is slim and fit had a bit of a belly showing.

Has anyone heard anything concrete about a pregnancy? Or do you think it's just overactive imaganiations fuelled by a bad angle of the cameras?

These are great pictures Josefine.

Is this a new photo website? It seems suddenly that we are seeing images from this site. How does one go about searching for particular images or people?

Great pictures, Alexandria! Thank you!

Question: is M-C very actively involved in many charities and how proficient is she in Greek?

[George]

The issue I have is that the slit up her thigh on that dress is most unladylike
for a woman of her age, married with children, plus her position !
If she was not princess then it would be no issue. I think she has a position
and represents the family and country-and she needs to understand that comes
with sacrifices-one can not always do what the ordinary girl can.

It is also too high. Maybe a smaller slit -shows too much thigh. Not attractive.

Less is more. It is sexier to leave it to the imagination instead of showing it all.

But these are modern times and sometimes a woman needs to learn
common sense.

[moosey60]

I've heard that M-C was a terrible Greek speaker. Apparently she has an atrotious accent, she's probably just bad with languages. Some people pick up languages really quickly, like Alexandra of Denmark, she didn't grow up speaking Danish. I don't think she's too involved with charities, no offense, but I've always thought that she was more involved with herself.

[Fireweaver]

The slit in the one picture isn't Crown Princess Pavlos's. It's her sisters leg that is showing that much.

[Alexandria]

I was thinking of the first picture at the top of this page with Marie-Chantal and her sister Pia Getty both in black dresses, the slit is quite high in that one as it goes mid-thigh. Standing up with a gust of wind ... And in that picture it is most certainly MC's legs that are showing rather than her sister's.

[Fireweaver]

Oops, I goofed Alexandra. Sorry about that, I thought it was MC's legs that were behind the sisters and Pia's body in front. sorry!

Royal Retreat For Sale In Connecticut

By DANIELLE REED
Staff Reporter of The Wall Street Journal

From The Wall Street Journal Online


Their home is their castle.

But Princess Marie-Chantal and Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece have moved to London -- and are selling White Ash Farm, their country estate in Connecticut. The 64-acre farm property in the Litchfield County town of Washington has an asking price of $6.2 million. The royals -- he's heir to the now-defunct Greek monarchy; she's the middle member of the celebrated Miller Sisters (the three socialite daughters of American duty-free tycoon Robert Miller) -- have three young children. The princess is about to open the flagship store for her own line of children's clothing -- Marie-Chantal LLC -- in London next month. With business keeping the couple there, they found it impractical to keep the ivy-covered circa-1740 stone house they bought in 1999 for $3.275 million through holding company Peck Realty Ltd., real-estate records show. They renovated and added a four-bedroom guesthouse and put in a pond. Besides the 5,000-square-foot main house, the estate also comes with a six-stall horse barn, a riding ring, tennis court, pool and poolhouse, entertainment barn, apple orchard and a stocked chicken coop. Peter Klemm, of Klemm Real Estate in Washington Depot, has the listing.

Seasonal Sale

Four Seasons restaurant co-owner Julian Niccolini and his wife, Lisa, have purchased a pied-à-terre studio in Manhattan's Sutton Place. The suburbanites "needed a place that was within walking distance from the restaurant," says listing agent Sabrina Kleier Morgenstern, of Gumley Haft Kleier. The 700-square-foot space was listed for almost a year, starting at about $240,000; the sale price was approximately $200,000. Although buyers showed plenty of interest in the property, which has big closets, wood floors, bay windows and a glimpse of the East River, the process of getting co-op board approval slowed the sale, Ms. Morgenstern says. While the Niccolinis may be quiet neighbors, their Philip Johnson-designed restaurant can get pretty rowdy. During last week's blackout, it was the site of an impromptu Champagne and foie-gras party. That's not the only noise lately: Diners have been up in arms about former corporate parent Vivendi Universal's plan to auction the dining room's "Tricorne," a stage curtain painted by Pablo Picasso. While he's hoping Vivendi will decide to donate it, Mr. Niccolini says galleries are calling daily seeking to provide a replacement. A Vivendi spokeswoman says no formal decisions have been made.

Lagging on the Lake?

Upper-end properties aren't moving as fast as they once were around Lake Tahoe, so some sellers are going the auction route instead. Ted Fuller, owner of Stonebridge, a new 13-room, 7,954-square-foot residence in Incline Village, Nev., listed it for $5.65 million in November 2002. But he says he didn't get any suitable bids. So now the former insurance executive plans to sell the five-bedroom residence to the highest bidder at a sealed-bid auction, with offers due Sept. 25. "It's a way of capturing the attention of the market and bringing the property to the forefront," says Steven L. Good, chairman and chief executive of Sheldon Good & Co. Auctions of Chicago, which will handle the proceedings. The home has broad lake and mountain views, two master bedroom suites, a media room and a game-room level. Why sell a brand-new home? During the four years of construction, Mr. Fuller says he changed his mind about moving and has decided to stay in his other residence in Incline Village.

Web Watch / Foreclosures

For bargain-hunters, the Web is an easy way to find properties in various stages of foreclosure. One site, Realtytrac.com, allows registered users to search by location to find soon-to-be foreclosed properties in all price ranges. The site shows lender information, the applicable state-foreclosure laws and contacts for agents with experience selling distressed properties. Like a competitor site, ForeclosureFreeSearch.com, each has free seven-day trials. But it's up to the consumer to remember to cancel when the trial period is up or continue being charged a monthly fee.
