Exiled empress 'returns' home

LONDON: Britain's Prince Michael hopes to close a difficult chapter of family history this week when he attends the reburial of his great aunt, the mother of Russia's last tsar, in St Petersburg, Russia.

Now, there's a video there showing Prince and Princess Michael standing with King Constantine and Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary at the reburial of Empress Maria Feodorovna. Prince Michael gives a little interview on Maria.

But the thing that shouted at me was Princess Michael. She didn't look like the wife of a minor Prince. She looked like an Empress standing there. This woman is wasted. Can't they make her Queen of Malta or something like that?

Can anyone post some pictures of the event?

I love that. I have always felt that she has not been given enough credit for how she carries out her duties, despite the negative comments she gets.

I agree charlottestreasures. She deserves so much more praise than she gets.

I am particuarly interested in photos of the Michaels of Kent -the link focuses more on the Danish Royals. I also agree with the previous two posts. One thing the media have never been able to criticise the Princess for is how she behaves at Royal events as she's a credit to the Royal Family and always looks the part.

Time for a new thread, which can be found here.
