November 2009 Informal Poll
Welcome to the
November 2009 Informal Picture of the Month Poll!
This month's poll features Favorite Family Photoshoots.
The pictures in this poll show the informal side of royalty. It will close on 3 January 2010. 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.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for future polls you can post them there or contact Dazzling or LadyK.
Please note that the links in the above poll have been posted in random order and do not reflect the opinions of the moderating team.
Enjoy and have fun!

Posted today 
The variety of pictures IMO are lovely, some pictures with the whole family including aunts and uncle (Morocco) some with grandchildren with their grandma (The Netherlands) and some with the parents which is also really nice.
All the best to the teams
