Thanks..

I e-mailed Vanity Fair...

Single issues are $9.45 for the United States and $11.20, in US funds, for foreign countries. These prices include shipping and handling. Some credit cards are accepted.

Still, I don't know whether this "special edition" is more expensive than any other issue. I will check that out too.

A photo across one and a half pages, with caption. Here is the link. What you see is what you get.

If you are looking at this issue of Vanity Fair from a Dutch perspective, don't bother; if you are looking at it from a general royal perspective, it's a "must have".

Anyone else on here read Tatler ? Anyone know what the equivalent magazine in the US or France ?

I've seen it on the newstand at Borders and I'll occassionally flip thru it. It usually in the fashion magazine section but I think the closest comparison to a US mag is Vanity Fair, maybe.

I love Tatler. Its my favourite magazine. Much more interesting than Vogue. Its quite for royal pieces sometimes too.

I would probably say Vanity Fair is the nearest thing in the US. But I'm not too sure on what else is available there.

I subscribe to Tatler, it's much better than some of the other magazines out there like Harpers Bazaar.

Here are some of the photos:

I wasn't aware of that, it's very impressive that Letizia was covered by a magazine such as Newsweek!

I do, I love Tatler.

What is the US equivalent? Hmm, perhaps Town & Country, but it is by no means as chic as Tatler, in my opinion.

i think Tatler is franchised in several countries; if i'm not mistaken they have a US version, just like we have the Philippine Tatler mag here. I've always lined Tatler with Vanity Fair and such magazines although i'm not really sure.

btw, Town & Country is also franchised in other nations. the Philippine edition was just released here.

Anyone know a French magazine like Tatler ? French high society looks very interesting X

[qui mal y pense]

isn't that what Paris Match is?

I just received my new issue --- February 2008 --- of Vanity Fair (the USA edition.
There is a wonderful article with photos on Prince Pavlos and Marie Chantal of Greece.

Of course in the end the heirs didn't have much of a choise as it would be strange if they were the odd one out (the only ones not participating).

There were several (4?) photographers involved, so I guess they could coordinate it rather well, and they took their time for it.

Wow that would have Maxima sticking her neck out a bit wouldnt it?!
Still, its an intriugin thought, dont think I'll consider it more than that as we dont know how reliable it is

[Ilary]

does someone want to give the profile on Prince Kardam and Prince Kyril of Bulgaria?

Thank You

You'll find plenty of pics and information on both Princes and their families in the Royal Family of Bulgaria 1 and Part 2 threads.

Replying on a thread elsewhere I remembered another special edition published by Vanity Fair, the On Time supplement that came with October 2007 issue. It featured articles about royalty, all of them around the theme of time: royal watches, royals in changing times. It featured a whole portfolio (I love Vanity Fair photo portfolios!) of royal portraits and lots of glossy ads. Did anyone else see it?
