Thanks for the pictures, Paola always looks so down-to-earth with the people he meet, a very friendly woman.

I have a question though, does anybody know if there is a thread with old pictures of Queen Paola? She was so extremely beautiful in her younger years. Thanks.

[Hannelore]

in the 2 previous Paola picture threads there are lots of pics from when she was young.

I really love to look at the pictures of Queen Paola especially when she was younger. But her pictures at the present are the real testament of her beauty, grace and elegance. I really don't get tired of looking at her pictures because she is really a very beautiful queen.

Queen Paola's getting older gracefully and the fact that she doesn't bother to hide the pass of time is a testimony of the wonderful person she is...

PD: off topic, but both Albert and Phillippe have the eye for beautiful women, great taste really!!!

Yes, I agree. The fact that she is ageing gracefully and the lackof vanity is really refreshing to see, especially as so many younger royals are botoxed, nose jobs and i don't know what else. QP proves that if you are beautiful to start with, then like fine wine, you get better with age. She is gorgeous.

I Totally Agree with you there, she still is a very beautiful woman I can't belive shes got three grown children and is the grandmother of 11?.....

Thank you, CAtherine. She really was stunningly gorgeous when she was young. I still think she is a very attractive woman -- aging naturally and gracefully. One of my very favorite "older" pictures of her is in this thread, post #23 - the first photo when she is with Albert and wearing that dove grey ensemble. Thanks again.

Thanks for the pics, Cathérine, they are beautiful (as usual) :)

I think many Princesses of our days would like to have this Elegance, beauty and poise.

Paola is a very beatiful woman when she was young she was modern and
elegance.
