April 2011 Official PoM Poll

[dazzling]

Welcome to the

April 2011 Official Picture of the Month poll

The pictures in this poll show the informal side of royalty. It will close on 30 May 2011. During this time, we ask that NO ONE STATE WHOM THEY'VE VOTED FOR so as not to influence other members as they make their choices. After the poll closes, you can discuss as much as you'd like about which image you voted for and why.

This month, our Picture of the Month representatives had help in selecting their images with a small committee of their choosing. Below, you can see each royal house's representative (in bold) followed by their chosen committee members.

Indeed, I am shocked. A wedding pic is definately missing.

(No Belgium this month, totally forgot about it )

[jonc93]

No wedding picture this month?!? And we never got the engagement picture either......

[iceflower]

With my own experiences in mind of having to choose only one of hundrets of wonderful wedding
pics of CP Victoria and Prince Daniel for the June poll last year, I can easily understand that the
British pic is missing. Really one is spoilt for choice...

Hardly representative poll of the Royal happenings of the Month!
Let's see if the Monaco wedding gets lucky for June.

Victoria and Daniel got a wedding pic, why not W&C?

[Zonk]

Simply put......real life got in the way and I forgot to submit one (as the lone British rep). My apologies!

If anyone is interested in joining the British team...the ideal team would encompass three members...I would greatly welcome the assistance. Please let me know via Private message.
