The Queen Mother

Me too! Definitely the Queen Mum! She was amazing

 

[NGalitzine]

HRH Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, Britains longest lived born royal and the last of Queen Victoria's grandchildren to die. She was the one who debunked the "we are not amused" story. She definitely had an interesting life and a sense of adventure, vicereine of South Africa and Canada, traveling in disguise on a camel in the Arab desert, and her annual travels to Jamaica by banana boat.

Prince Claus of the Netherlands, a very intelligent and capable man, who couldn't pursue all the things he would have liked because of his 'royal position', he came into the country and met a very anti-german (because of WW2) mood and eventually became the dutch' favorite royal...
(plus: i love the 'tie-speech' )

Prince Claus, absolutely. He was remarkable, and I can tell Queen Beatrix still misses him, especially during this most difficult time with Friso.

 

[Archduchess Zelia]

Queen Ingrid of Denmark, she really meant a lot, not only to the royal family but to the entire nation. I think the only reason why I remember her so vividly (being very young when she died), is that I met her once and I'll never forget that. Even though she was old at the time, she had the most amazing spirit. I think you can see very much that she's gone. The first couple of years after her death, Margrethe, Benedikte and Anne-Marie did a lot to try and gather the family each year, like Ingrid tried to, but now it seems like it's fading out more and it's rare to see the entire family gathered.

What a wonderful story!!! How lucky you were, getting to meet her. She (and her husband) certainly raised three remarkable women. Very strong women!

She was a great dame, always trying to help the poor. My late great-grandmother, was a friend of her, a kind of Lady-in-Wainting, and remember that when I was very young (four or five years old), she took me to have tea with the Princess, it was the first time a met with Her Imperial and Royal Highness.

I also remember the mass to celebrate her 90th birthday, in 2004. It was the last time I saw her. I also remember of my great-grandmother crying when the Princess died. She died the following year, at the age of 105.
