Royal House of Georgia

[Benjamin]

According to a report from October 8, Prince David and Princess Anna were in Caracas on part of their honeymoon. While in Venezuela, the royal couple were hosted by the Marqués de Torre Casa. The trip was also set to include Brazil and the Caribbean.

I hope they remain together. Before the wedding, I was thrilled with the scenario of a new Reigning House in Europe...

Venezuela, Brazil and Caribbean... Three wonderful places to spend a honeymoon!

They won't.They seperated only within a few months after the wedding.The wedding photo's were already a sign on the wall.
Anna was/is,not David's choice.So,better to seperate now then to hang on for posterity while there's no love lost between them.
At least not from the Prince's side,they should never have married in the first place.Life is different from girls dreams.

Thanks for additional information about Princes David and Princess Anna's short-lived marital bliss!
It is unfortunate that the couple seems to be unable to preserve the union. All these grand wedding celebrations were just a waste of money. I have to agree with Lucien noting that Prince David and Princess Anna should not have married at all. I wonder what prompted Princess Anna to go on with the wedding, if she was not sure about this relationship. Based on information about Prince David, I would say that he really meant for this union to succeed.

Perhaps I should have noted this before, but the article appears to say that the pair were on their honeymoon IN October (8 months after the marriage and 2 months after the separation story surfaced).

As regards the comment about the wedding pictures being an indication of problems to come, it seems to me that Prince David has a rather serious demeanor in general. I have seen very few photos where he is smiling. Personally, I think David wanted this union just as much as (if not more than) Princess Anna. After all, it is he who has moved back to Georgia, learned the language, become active in the Church, and succeeded to his father's claims when his elder brother wasn't interested. Plus, Prince David's family was at the wedding en masse. It is doubtable whether the family would have bothered to come all the way from Western Europe to Tbilisi for a marriage that they knew their kinsman was not committed to.

"All the way from Western Europe" takes 3 to 4 hours flying.So,next to nothing since we have aircraft here.....

Why they went on with the drama?Family matters.Alliences to be upheld and all that old world stuff in a place on the globe
where it is least to be revived,but still,and it had less to do with love then it has with thinking too big.But it made for some
pretty colour locale.Pitty really,a bond is ment to be different,and in this case family pride and esteem and all that still weigh
in way too high,in this case that is.Now they have a divorce.That is chic....

[Benjamin]

I'm so glad to know that, having had nooo idea. With that fact in mind, it still takes anywhere from 7 to 20 hours to get from Madrid (where David's family is based) to Tbilisi [on a plane].

We won't really know the status of the couple's relationship for sure until we either hear (1) that they are legally divorced or (2) that they are expecting their first child . I'd much rather the latter come true. Queen Victoria would surely tell them to "Lie back and think of Georgia."

Anywho, hopefully Prince David and Princess Anna enjoyed their late luna de miel.

I, for one, would be really glad if Prince David and Princess Anna manage to work out their differences. Hope this delayed ‘honeymoon’ will help to improve things.
I’m a bit optimistic, because people from Caucasian region tend to be really serious about it; if David and Anna divorce, then you can be sure there were simply no other options.

[Al_bina]

Right you are, Marsel. There is some faint hope left. I am sure that the elders are working hard to preserve this union.
