Royals with Royals (October 2012 Informal Poll)

**LadyK** · #1 11-09-2012, 07:20 PM

Welcome to the
October 2012 Informal Picture Poll
Featuring

Royals with Other Royals!

The pictures in this poll show the informal side of royalty. This month's poll features pictures of royals with royals from other countries.

The poll will close on 30 November 2012. 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.

I intended to vote for the British picture - from historical point of view, it's just a gem - but a different (and very contemporary) one just melted my heart.
Really great choices, everyone!
