Moon Princess and Sun Princess?

[Jo of Palatine]

As a child I read an old fairy tale about an Asian/Arab Prince who had seven wives who all had their own palaces and he visited each of them on a special day of the week. Each princess had her own colour in which her palace was decorated and in which she dressed, she had the suiting colouring and she came from a different culture. One from Japan, the other from Persia, one from Egypt, one from Turkey, one from China and one from India - can't remember where the seventh came from. Each received the prince in a different way according to her culure and they spent their time together due to her background. It was a wonderful book and I found it interesting that while each princess was special, all were ranked equally and respected and loved for their being different to the others.

I thought about that when I read what prince Frederick had said about meeting Mary in the interviews fro the new book about him:

"If you had to visualise it, it was like a summer landscape in moonlight. Still water in a pond - evocative - there is a surface, but also depth. Harmony and tranquility and lots of kindness and beauty. It's like describing a landscape bathed in moonlight. That's how I remember her from the first meeting".

So Mary is the moon princess: beautiful and serene. And Marie is the sun princess: vivid and sparkling.

What do you thinbk? Does that fit?

I think it does - what a nice way to describe someone!
