The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester 2: Jan 2006-

[Renata4711]

The Gloucesters are probably among my favourite British Royals. They get on with the job in hand, don't annoy people unnecessarily, don't court media attention, and generally manage to give a good impression of "the Royals".

Long may they live...

The Duchess of Gloucester was in Bermuda over the Remembrance weekend. And now she is off in Belgium, attending a conference organised by the Queen of the Belgians about vulnerable runaway children, attended by numerous other European royals. I'm surprised the conference hasn't received any coverage in the British press or media that I can see. Lots of photos including the Duchess here.

Hee Hee...I'm there (in my 60s), and I'm still thinking that. Infanta Christina looks great...they all do. Paola does "fluffy" AGAIN!

I love the Gloucesters!

Its too bad we don't hear enought about them instead of the nastiness of the York scandals.

The Duchess's coat is beautiful!

The Duchess is a nice lady, but she should really change her hairstyle. Her coat is beautiful indeed. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely.
Love the red Indian embroidered scarf that the Duchess was wearing.

[auntie]

There is only one word to describe her,
STUNNING!

[KittyAtlanta]

She has a fab figure. Very well preserved; I wonder if she has to diet or work out?

There is a whole thread under the Belgium royal house (I think) devoted to this event and it has pictures....
