Nice appearances, and I agree with that horrible belt, worth to be thrown on a bonfoire. (..)

Thanks to the many detachable elements, set en tremblant,, the diadem of the Peacock is quite effectful in the glittering department. The lighting conditions in Amman were poor (read: too good) for the amassed diamonds of all guests to sparkle. I do remember a video of Queen Máxima wearing the...

Yes, she can do a lot about that but she could not care less, which speaks volumes for her total desinterest in "executing the royal function" as anyone would expect from a Queen of the Netherlands and Princess of Orange-Nassau, see her impeccable mother-in-law.

It all looks quite premature, to be honest. Emanuele Filiberto can speak out when he is the head of the House of Savoy.

It is interesting that a wedding in Jordan had more bling than royal weddings in the United Kingdom (not to mention the Coronation).

By my understanding the event will be black tie without diadems.

Ow... I was confused because the article was about the Mass by Père Marc Leroy in the Basilica of Koekelberg. I had not understood King Albert and Queen Paola also visited the church of Foy-Notre-Dame. I stand corrected.

I thought this was at the Basilica of Koekelberg? No paintings of Rubens there?

Now Erbprinz Alexander seems to have informed his father he has had a religious marriage with his American partner (no idea if the civil wedding, the only legally binding union, has taken place) it is a luck that the Hohenzollerns have been exluded now because it would create a conflict of heirs...

That is really a looooooong way back into memory lane!

In everyday's acts and deeds, in granting a formal residence to Princess Margareta, in providing her with a state budget, with staffing, with facilities, utilities and logistics, with official Speeches to Parliament, with receiving of Ambassadors to even annual Christmas Addresses on public...

Another complication in the case of Nicholas is that his marriage needed consent: Article 7 1) The marriage of a member of the Royal House of Romania shall be subject to the consent of the Head of the Royal House of Romania in order for it to have dynastic significance. 2) A marriage that does...

As long as there is no royal Constitution, the Royal House is an autonomous entity established and organized by Fundamental Rules "enacted by the hand of King Michael I, Sovereign Head of the Royal House of Romania (Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen), by the Grace of God and jure sanguinis, Crowned King...

Wow I totally missed that. Was there even a wedding at all????? But does this mean Prince Alexander has given up his rights as the Hohenzollerns still have the principle of Standesgemäßkeit for royal marriages? Anyway, this ends the prospect of Alexander x Elisabeta Karina. That is clear.

Actually the Princess Royal and Vice-Admiral Timothy Lawrence did attend the funeral of King Constantine of the Hellenes: https://64.media.tumblr.com/5ab2aa49750d6ddfede03da097cbcd4d/eaf6e7404196669c-7c/s1280x1920/10166069b1a7047ba077d697f67fbe53a7b8ed00.jpg At the funeral of Queen Fabiola...

They were not without heirs as the Fürst von Hohenzollern and his son the Erbprinz were Number One and Number Two. But they are no descendants of King Michael and probably the Romanians would see nothing in "another German foreigner". The Fürst himself publicly declared not to have any interest...

I thought Palais Elisabeta was given in usufruct to King Michael and it took some negotiations with the State of Romania to extend the usage to his daughter and successor? After all, before King Michael issued the Fundamental Rules for the Royal House of Romania (2007) his daughters were no...

I think Princess Margareta has a genuine interest in the Royal House. She and her husband Radu have been unstoppable to promote the Royal House. And look where they are now... Just a-ma-zing. Yesterday I saw on their instagram that Princess Maragreta and Radu will attend the wedding in Jordan...

That would be an unprecedented move and very difficult as the Order of Succession is to the legitimate descendants of His late Majesty, King Michael of Romania, Prince of Hohenzollern in order of primogeniture. Her Majesty Elisabeta Karina, Custodian of the Romanian Crown would then appoint an...

Is the Infanta showing a naked tummy at a religious event or is that just optical illusion?

As explained in the previous post: at the same time of the party in London the Dutch royal couple sailed with a barge over the Amstel in Amsterdam, waving farewell to the Liberation Day Concert at that river: picture.

The strange thing is that when President Jorge Carlos de Almeida Fonseca of Cape Verde visited Amsterdam, the whole delegation was in white tie. So they know how a dresscode works. It is really sloppiness with no eye for detail. And also strange that the hosts (Luxembourg) have lowered the...

Princess Beatrix still has a coiffeuse. The old Queen receives 1,8 million Euro a year and her Carmen curling set from 1973 will still do... There is no excuse not to use a coiffeuse. Máxima is endlessly repeating old rags, it is impossible she had out spent her lavish budget for representation...

I am not sure if the hair is thouroughly destroyed because so now and then she suddenly appears with simply healthy looking hair: picture. That should be no less than her daily standard as might be expected from Hare Majesteit koningin Máxima, prinses der Nederlanden, prinses van Oranje-Nassau...

What a horrible execution of the dresscode. Jacquet with black tie? In Amsterdam the guests from Cabo Verde wore white tie, so they know how to dress properly. Very strange they now appear as without a clue!
