they seem a great couple, and an interesting one at that!

I'm convinced that Max, coming from the rarified background that he did, had quite some hurdles to overcome to be able to (or read: be allowed) marry someone so onorthodox shall we say, as Angela. But what a great choice she is. Kudo's to Max for truly following his heart.

I actually quite liked her wedding gown by the way. (Didn't she even design it herself? She is in the fashion business after all.) Thought it was simple and classy...I'm a sucker for boatneck anything, so...:)

I believe that she did design and created her dress. I recall reading that the timeframe between the proposal and wedding was a matter of a couple of months.

The only thing that is different about Angela is that she is a woman of colour. Other than that, at the time of their proposal Angela was independent, well-employed, well-educated, sophisticated and intelligent. Seems to me that she was basically a good match for Max.

ANgela is perfect for her role. Discreet, humble, loyal, beautiful, etc. She is definitely someone I look up to.:)

As Angela was born in 1958 more children might be a bit difficult.

You know I myself look up to her as well, because of the fact that she is 100% black, a woman with color in the royal circle. I wish I could see more colored people especially of different nationalities marrying into a royal family, but only if those two people really love one another honestly.

Maybe 30 or 40 years ago, but today it's women older than Angela having children, or at least adding to the ones they have. I didn't know she was that much older though. There's always a chance she could have another, but then that would be up to them.

michelleq · #31 08-15-2005, 05:46 PM

It could be a choice that they do not have anymore children.

I agree...that's possible too.

I never said she was <not> a good match to max. On the contrary, I admire her a lot, if not in the first place for her sweet/discreet-seeming demeanor and imho great style.

I called her 'onorthodox' because, let's face it, it's not par for the course that members of Europe's age-old houses of royalty choose a partner from a different race. you might or might not realize, but when it comes down to it, most royal families would prefer that their offspring marries those of 'equal standing' , meaning good-old boring, 'blue-blooded' caucasian types like themselves. That's all I'm saying: it's merely an observation, not a judgement call.

I understand that quite well, Princess Olga. Thanks for the tip, but it's not really needed. I caught that from your "unconventional" quote. The bottom line is that regardless of Angela's race, she was certainly a good catch.

The bride's wedding dress is Oscar de la Renta.

Really?! I thought I read that she had designed it herself. Do we really know since we know so little of them?

Has anyone ever seen Princess Angela's wedding ring? I've been dying to see a close up of it.

well, she is also much older than he..about 10 years older? They are in anyway, unconventional.

SASSY · #38 07-29-2006, 07:44 PM

I am a woman of color myself and I understand Princess Olga 's point. TEN YEARS OLDER? I had no idea she was that much older than Prince Maximilian!

What?? I was always under the impression that the bride herself designed that exquisite gown! Angela's a fashion designer by profession, so I thought it'd figure if she'd designed it herself! Whoever was responsible though, it's one of the best ones out there!
