I wrote it on another forum and I will repeat myself here: if you have the opportunity to come to Vienna on Saturday, just do it. I'm sure, though it is, alas, a sad occasion, it surely will be a memorable event! Dear La Noblesse, you can contact me via PM if you need more information or in case...

Late seventies or early eighties?! Not at all! To me he looks better today than he did twenty years ago! :flowers:

They are relatives, dear Lenora. No need to be friends then. :rofl: It has been very kind of you to explain the British university system to an ill-bred bunch like us. :tongue: Good for Sophie that she succeeded so well! It may be worth asking if she would have attended the "finest school in...

"The masses can be easily misled", my friend Schnitzel would not have chosen another expression herself. :lol: Welcome to the forums. It is a bit sad that Princess Margaret seems almost forgotten nowadays. She is not yet ten years gone.

Good for him. I know that he and his family were guests at Lord Freddie's wedding. Dunno about the relationship to his sister, though. Years ago, MC wasn't keen on visiting them in Australia. I know a tale that circulated among my circle of friends, which said that her mother was rather...

Still no official pictures of the little ones? :huh:

I do not know what it is, honey. But it doesn't look like Indian summer. :whistling:

It is not to be doubted that Marianne, the mother of Schnitzel (as Princess Michael was known to some), suffered in her exile. Like with many of the old nobles, she did not realize that times and norms had changed after the wars. She was ambivalent. She knew who she was and where she came from...

Is she ill or something? I know that she always had a soft spot for India, but this is the last straw. And a friendly suggestion from Mrs K. from Vienna: hands off the botox injection, darling. At least for a few months.

Well said, Lumutqueen.

Well said, Lumutqueen.

Please calm down, it was merely a metaphor from my side. You are as indignant over the comparison as if Marie-Antoinette had been Hitler or Stalin.:nonono: Next time I will compare Mary to Yoko Ono. Do what you want with it. I'm sure you will find a reason to be furious with me.:sad:

Interesting. We all have different associations. I had to think of Vigée Le Brun. All very Marie-Antoinette --- Europe's countries have to deal with huge financial and economic crises and Mary puts on the gala gown and tiaras to show us her new palace and her wonderful life. Cake anyone? :smile:

The moral of the story should be that sometimes 'tis better to stay home. Were I at this stage of the pregnancy, I would never have dared to step out of the house in that horrible black dishrag. :ermm: Now add to that picture poorly dressed Christian, bored Frederik and messed-up dressed...

United Kingdom The Queen will stay healthy and happy, just like the Duke. Camilla will do something touchy so that even the Diana freaks will love her to bits. Christening of Peter and Autumn's boy (who will be born in December). Harry will continue with dating Miss Davy, but they will not get...
