I try to make it short, I have some problems with that ;) Excuse me, if I chose the wrong words, I do not want to offend anybody. I absolutely agree: It'll remain a selfish expensive adventure trip to an exotic country, if you don't do anything for these people after you have seen their lifes...

Dear moderator, please delete the following if I am not allowed to post. It is a part of the speech of CP Mary given on Oct 1. Here, she really hit the mark: "It has been an experience that will be with me for the rest of my life and I believe, an experience that will come to play a role in...

In Gulu: perhaps Acholi Inn. But did she really spend a night there, in Gulu? Also possible: She spent the nights at one of the NGO houses. They are absolut luxurious compared to the living conditions in Uganda (water, electricity, many rooms, clean), because it is also important for the NGO...

@Aotearoagal: You are so right. For me she is still the fashion princess, inspiring and beautiful, but also a little bit superficial. This is only my impression! But it is beginning to change. Although I think that she visited the cleanest huts (they are renovated using cow manure, which is...

Have you seen on some of the pictures how green and fertile Uganda is? Uganda could be one of the top agriculture countries and export a lot of goods if the streets were really streets. E.g. the main street to Sudan is a muddy trail especially in the rainy season. When I look at the clothes of...

I have been in Uganda for four weeks in April and May 2008. I also was in Gulu and Kampala and worked for three weeks in IDP (Refugee) Camps. I'm quite sure Mary listened to stories, so cruel, so strange, so sad, she never heart before. I would not be surprised about her crying. One can only cry...

Oh, thanks so much for your translation. I haven't the time to watch it on TV, so I really appreciate your translated version of the interview. Does anybody know were I have to send a greeting card for Felipe and Letizia? That information would be very welcomed. I've already searched a lot, but...

Thanks at all for your information. What a pitty that I can't see the banquette. I also think that Victoria recycled her gown (Australia?). Have fun!

I am looking forward to the festivities. Will there be a live broadcasting of the banquet and is it possible to watch it via internet? I would be very glad if anybody could help me. Thanks, Yolène.

Some of Mary's old picture were completely new for me. Her chance is really astonishing. I don't believe that she is really at the aim of her chance. I'm quite sure that she is a perfectionist, she'll never be. I hope we will see her behaving more frankly and genuinely. At the moment she...

@ Marengo: On the german TV you can see a summary of the baptism at 5.30 pm. On NDR and Radio Bremen TV they will broadcast the christening on saturday 17.30-18.00. As far as I know ZDF will not broadcast. More informations on http://www.ndrtv.de/tv/royalty/

Thank you everybody for the pictures and newspaper articles! I really enjoyed it. Sorry for the question, but I read a lot and haven't fount it yet: Why didn't Mary's brother John Stuart attend the chistening? Does anybody know?

Thank you for all the pictures! Are there also any pictures of Sonja Bernadotte and Björn Bernadotte? I haven't found the clip of the banquett yet. Can anybody help me, please? Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Norwegianne, for sharing your experiences with us! As I can say you did very well. Good luck for your interview on friday!

Thank you for the pictures and the link to the interview. Oh, she looked so beautiful and is engaged in Pakistan help (I don't know the word, but I hope you will understand). I like it so much when she is engaged in motivation others.
