Jack I totally get your point about the more vintage Royals finding a style and sticking (perhaps even clinging) to a prescribed 'comfort zone' of familiarity and tradition....but it doesn't stop one from imagining and daring to hope! With regards to our three Regnant Queens in Europe at the present moment...fair enough, they are all identified with their own distintive styles....QEII and her demi-helmet arrangement with architecturally engineered and crafted curls around the sides and back, Queen Beatrix and her helmet that oddly enough reminds one of those medium long coated breeds of pooches that probably get hair-sprayed to the point of near asphyxiation at Crufts etc and then we have my personal favourite reigning Queen, the wonderful Margrethe II. Ooooh ahhhh (I need a rest from hammering out that very long last sentence....!!!!) that's better, now then where was I?... Ah yes; I still cannot fathom why that scraped back look which Her Majesty of Denmark prefers seems to work, perhaps the severity of that style which can appear villainess-like, stereotypically witchy and frightening on others merely accentuates just how amazingly pretty she remains! Let's face it, QMII is and always was much prettier than either of her fellow Regnal cousins! I can't really see either Beatrix or QEII managing to do the scraped off the face look at the same relative age with quite the same acceptable and pleasing results!!!! Even so, I would love to have seen QMII be a bit more adventurous a la Grace de Monaco, as the former has just the right sort of personality and looks to have been adept at being adventurous!
With regards to the Princess Royal....I must point out as I mentioned earlier, that in the early nineties when she was around sixty Katherine Kent chopped off a great deal of her hair and voila she found a really new and amazingly successful hair style. So there really is no stopping our dear Princess Royal doing likewise as she approaches her own big 60! Hmmmmm...Just another dream I know, as I am sure Princess Anne is quite content with the bouffant demi-beehive quiff a la ( ooops - I meant 'a le because Elivis is a boy.... or maybe it aught to - a l' because it's followed by a vowel - D'oh... bloody French grammar...ooh I don't know!!!!!) Elvis doing a turn as Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch thing, she has made her own! But one may muse and dream!!!!! I do agree that Anne does look lovely and approachable and even concede she can appear gentle with her hair down....but.... longish hair down on a more 'vintage and experienced' woman can be rather tricky to perfect and with her wild shredded wheat textured locks it would be a complete pain to keep tidy during and in between her hectic stream of official engagements too!!!!!! I cannot really visualize the Princess Royal with a bob as an alternative....but there must be other innovative styles out there which she could try!!!!!!
As for Poor Prince Charles and his hair....well what can one can say about such a prolonged recessional matter!!!! Some men don't mind about it whilst others are terribly sensitive! It is a tricky one! Perhaps the POW should adapt his hairstyle to mimic the DOE's at the same stage of recession! I never remember anyone talking about Philip's hair in the old days....but then again he didn't have much hair to notice even then! It's William that I am worried about!!!!! Maybe he should go for a Grade one now!!!!! Terribly butch on some men although it can look a tad thuggish!!!!!!
Perhaps we have decided that a toupe(sorry.,but I can't find the appropriate accent key on my poxy keyboard!) or a wig is preferable these days where the recapturing of youth is a really serious 'cult' akin to statue worshipping of old, along with those increasingly disturbing internet banner things that one gets lambasted with wherever one surfs about getting a flat tummy!!!!!!!!!! Are we all going to turn into tummy worshippers.......I wonder....maybe we, or rather a proportion of our species are already, or soon will be if this zombie-fie-ing rubbish continues to pervade into everything!!!! It's Terrifying!!!!! Sometimes I wonder if I am in the land of Nod or some variation on John Wyndham....a sort of 'Global Village of the Tummy tuckers' instead of the 'Village of the Damned', as I keep seeing these pictures of torsos everywhere.....it is extraordinary! And all those close-up pictures of grimacing Hollywood style teeth too! Gleaming arctic white perfectly straight Gnashers and flat tummies.....am I getting paranoid and suffering from some form of repetitional overload disorder!
