Charlotte & Josephine-Charlotte

[KatieLouise]

Excellent, ShksprNLov! Thank you... Do you like Adolphe's bad facial hair - hmm... he reminds me of someone - I wonder who? :wink:

[ShksprNLov]

With the previous inbreeding among the royals I think it's the perfect time for some new people to marry the royals.... Perhaps some fantastic, super witty girls who post on a royals message board??? I love the facial hair! The man looks so charming and dashing...Haha! He does certainly look like later members of the family unfortunately. Poor Felix. I suppose he can't help it since it's in his genes.

Yes, they need something completely different - how about a dash of American or Australian? I know there's plenty of those in these forums. It's such a fantastic moustache -you'd have to be careful not to lose an eye from it! I just don't know how good a look it is in 2005 as opposed to the 19th century...

It might have looked decent then.

[msfroyste]

yeah, felix does look as though he has stepped out of the 19th or so century or something. i don't like it. neway, i wonder if jean and j-c are gonna do anything for the relief effort for the tsunami? any news on that?

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

No.But I don't know if they will travel because last I heard, JC is still sick.

[msfroyste]

I was really shocked when I read this very bad news on a website!:( :(
May she rest in peace! We will never forget her!:(

[hillary_nugent]

yes i was surprised to read the sad news just now, i was on the internet all morning and didn't hear anything about it so it was a real shock to hop back onto the internet a few hours later and find out JC has passed away...may she rest in peace.

[Danielle]

I am so shocked. What very sad news. My heart goes out to her family during this time. :(

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

You guys, I think I'm going to cry.

Don't cry, gaggle. Think of it this way, at least she will not be suffering from her illness anymore.

Thank you. I was just very sad at the moment. But I'm better now.

I agree when Charlotte was older but not when she was young.
