Notice how this thread is turning into something else, yet somehow, we're the "attackers". Interesting...
Good post. I found myself nodding as I read your post. I agree with almost everything.
As for Mary's expression, I know what you meant. Mary's smile has too much self-consciousness rather than real radiance from within. Her body language is the same thing. It's like she's constantly *thinking* how she has to smile the right way and pose the right way for the camera. She's not smiling because she's happy to meet those people she's meeting or be where she is. That's not very attractive IMO. Do you agree?
In the other category, I would vote for Princess Rosario of Bulgaria, although I don't like her blond hair of late.
Letizia has the features and the bone structure that are more in line with the current beauty standard, evidence from the models in ads.
I agree about Letizia, not only does she have the features and bone structure that are today's standard, she also has a very modern style. And she manages to maintain this modern style while still looking like a princess. I also think she looks good for the same reason Camilla looks good. She is just plain happy.
Moving away from Mary, I've only jsut noticed Countess Alexandra on the list. In her younger days, I think, she could certainly have come much nearer the top - if only because she used to seem slightly exotic next to all the European ladies (and you do tend to stand out if you have sun-darkened skin, standing in a group of pale - not that there's anything wrong with being pale - scandinavian ladies). However, she isn't so good-looking any more (although not bad looking) compared to the majority of Princesses on this list, as she is older. For example, compare the differences between then and now. http://www.princessalexandradk.info/272003g.jpg and (I'll add the before one later, it's tsking too long to load, sorry)
I do agree with you highpriestess!!!
That is exactly what I meant when I said she poses all the times.
I was just wondering if this is dued to her great self confidence or to her lack of self confidence.
What would you feel like if you were a girl coming from working class and you were told to behave like a European royal princess?
Yes, there are a few women that are fantastic, but are not crown princesses, Princess Rosario is one (unbelievable body, amazing clothes) ...I don't like the blond, either. It looks weird.
It's just my opinion of course, but I find Mary has a not so beautiful mouth that is too little and has too thin lips comparing to the rest of her face . That is a flaw to me and that is maybe the reason I find that her face looks sometimes pretentious and her smile very wry ...
I do hope we all have different ideas and different tastes.
Otherwise what a boring forum this would be!
Why are people attacking others' opinions
She's certainly a beautiful woman, but besides the blond hair, she really needs to smile more often. I can't figure out whether she's unhappy or she thinks smiling for cameras is not a good thing. I only remember one photo of her smiling in these past three years.
... and she didn't smile in the pictures snapped of her on her honeymoon either.
Do you have any pics of her honeymoon??
Thank you, I can not imagine her, but she is really beautiful
I agree with you Princess Rosario is one of the most beautiful royal princesses.
If you want you can find a gallery of pics of Rosario here on Hola
Rosario Nadal -
but I am afraid that there isn't the picture of the honeymoon you would like to see.
