Our thinking is very similar here, Viv. My point was simply that the monarchy of the Commonwealth is losing its relevance and the guest list for the wedding seems to be speaking volumes to this. I personally believe this monarchy on its way out. I think William and Kate would have been wise to...

As a Canadian, I can tell you I don't care for "my royal family". Politically, the British monarchy is seen as nothing more than a "nice" tradition. Frankly, the Commonwealth leaves a bad taste in my mouth as it is tired, old, and out-of-touch. I prefer the European monarchies as they have and...

Great pictures! Thank you all for posting and sharing the links. I like the picture of Joachim scolding his son! :whistling:How many times have parents had to do that with their children? :flowers: They all look like a happy "normal" family. That dog...I get a giggle out of that. I used to have...

Aww, Princess Isabella is wearing Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic mittens! :wub::tongue:

I couldn't agree more! You wrote pretty much exactly what I wanted to! I just want to add, I also think the CPC took into consideration QM2 birthday celebrations and family and friends schedules. Sort of a two for one deal for travelling guests! I think they planned it splendidly! :flowers...

Thank you, Sternchen! I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary! :lol: Funny! I, however, prefer his clean look! :biggrin:

According to CPC calendar, CP Frederik will be regent from February 27 until March 13, 2011. (also, not sure why, but I can't log into last page for some reason. A bug?) I also apologize for the double post. I posted originally on Fred and Mary and family thread. It has since gotten buried by...

I am not sure where to post this, so please forgive a newbie if I have posted this in the wrong place: CP Frederik will be regent from February 27 until March 13, 2011. Anyone have any ideas why so long? Perhaps, QM2 and Prince Henrik are taking a holiday? This info is on the CPC website but...

Actually, it is. You need to forward their calendar to find it though :whistling: :flowers: So, I was right about them "piggy backing" events..well, I ASSUME I was right :rofl:...they have scheduled the christening two days before QM2 birthday. :biggrin: And..there is plenty of time to fit...

Godparents: Patricia Bailey (Mary's sister) John Donaldson (Mary's brother) Princess Marie Alexandra, Countess of Pfeil and Klein-Ellguth Prince Daniel CP Victoria 2 friends of CPC I also have given some thought to official photos. I first said perhaps CP Mary's birthday; after more...

The christening of Prince Christian, which occurred January 21/06, was announced Nov 14, 2005, and for Princess Isabella it took place July 1/07, the announcement was made April 27, 2007. So, for Christian it was nearly a month after his birth, and for Isabella it was almost a week following...

Well my suggestions have as much validity as anyone else's. It may be ridiculous to you but really it doesn't matter in this case, because only the parents of these two beautiful babies will decide what is and what is not ridiculous. And thank you Tilia C. for clarifying that you did indeed...

I was joking about the fairytale. Yes it is written by German authors, however, Hans was a King of Denmark and Hans is a Danish name. Grethe is the short form of Margrethe. Hans is also the short form of John. So I don't think those two names are out of the running, imo. Also, Hans as in Hans...

yes, the red pants...:unsure:...He looks like an elf! :lol:

Congratulations to CP Mary and CP Fred! Isabella and Christian will make fantastic big siblings! Mommy and Daddy's little helpers! The twins are absolutely adorable. I wish them all long happy and healthy lives!

I have my fingers and toes crossed for: Hans and Grethe Just like the fairytale, Hansel and Gretel :lol::whistling:
