Interesting. based on a chinese gender chart for pregnant mums, at the time of her conception with this baby, she is 33 years old. therefore she is expected to have a boy :-) and so will letizia. lets see if the chart is accurate!

Isn't that interesting, that the Chinese believed gender was determinated by the mother's age? I guess we won't be able to rely on that chart.

Is that chart accurate or more a farmer's almanac-kind of most likely outcome?

The First pic was taken at the presentation of the Designer's Nest Award. The second pic was taken at the Danish Refugee Help Fashion Show, "Fashion with a purpose" at the Royal Academy for Art Architect School at Holmen.

I've noticed alot of both pros and cons in regards to mary and her heels during her pregnancy. I can only tell you from personal experience wearing 4 in and smaller heels for over 20 some odd years, even during my pregnancy, that the muscles in your calves and thighs become accustomed to heels. As well as your balance, hips and lower back. you adjust your weight and posture accordingly. When you switch to wearing flats, it becomes very uncomfortable because the muscles in your legs have to stretch out and you have to realign your body and weight. And with the extra weight of pregnancy, your better off sticking to what your body is used to wearing. I was wearing my stilettos to the office when I was 8 mos pregnant. When I went in for my ob check ups, my doctor joked around that when I had my baby, she would probably come out wearing little high heels! Hee! Hee! Just thought I'd toss out that little bit of info if anyone cared.
Have a wonderfuld day everyone!!!

Maybe the discussion about Mary's patronages could go on in the thread specifically designed for that topic? http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...ead.php?t=5555

GrandDuchess recently posted a list of the actual patronages of Mary, there. Why not check it out?

I am going to have to object to the fashion is superficial statement. Fashion and clothing are vitally important to human beings on a fundamental level such as protection for the body, and identification (think policeman or priest), and from a money/industry standpoint. But also from an intellectual and emotional viewpoint. Clothes can make us feel, they can also make us think about someone and pass judgement. They help us declare our identity and become part of social groups. Human beings are very visual creatures. If we were not we would all be wearing the same grey lifeless, shapeless suit made of the same material. All of us. All our homes, buildings etc would be the same. But they are not. We really don't need a nice home, nice furnishings, all we need is a box with a roof, and a sleeping bag. Why bother gardening unless to grow food exclusively? Flowers are pointless visuals? No they are not. They smell good, they are pretty and make us happy. The same can be said of fashion. Does man need art? music? Not really. We can survive without them. But the question is do we want to? Fashion can be put in the same catagory. I for one do not want to look like a drone or carbon copy. I love color, cut, fabric etc. :)

I agree! I love my clothes and I love feeling good and I love dressing up too!:)

Her promoting fashion industry helps create jobs so people can work and feed their families.

Nothing wrong with that to me.:p

EmmieLou, according to the Hello article, Mary wore the green coat and the outfit on the same day.

It says:

"The pretty Australian was sporting a trendy green velvet jacket with empire-line fastening and jeans when she made her entrance. She later swapped the garment for an oriental-style number with an eye-catching brooch as she and two companions arrived for local label Munthe Plus Simonsen's latest collection."

This all happened the day before she wore the light blue blouse outfit

So I think she wore the green coat on August 11th.

As I was never to interested in Mary (her fashioncovers was one of the reasons) I did not know that she was involved in something other then fashion and the occasional flower/smile/shake hands/cut ribbons visits. But I am glad to hear that she is involved in Mental Health etc. As a poster discribs it as one of her key patronages I assume she is actively involved anyway.
However I would like to point out that there is a difference in being a patron and to be actively involved im some causes. Bing a patron sometimes merely requires one (or not even one) visit, while active involvement is something completely different.
Anyway, all the best to Mary and her causes.
