Princess Caroline is resplendent. That green dress, deep, intense, rich as soil, is a stroke of genius considering the occasion, the sign that she is totally in the place, bared to the utmost simplicity with only her peaceful face and radiant smile to complement it. However the abundance of the flower presentations, a current of Zen spirit seems to run through her. Does she feel she can reconnect with her mother on this occasion, a celebration of spring Princess Grace taught her to love from an early age, where I feel they really bonded, pardon the trite word? In fact, not to use too much New Age speak, but Caroline seems to have channeled her mother’s serenity in this particular place, as if spirits did indeed live in gardens. I applaud Caroline for giving dignity to the occasion, to all the people who helped make it a success, and I marvel at how much force she can project with a simple green dress. Her other outfit is a joy to watch as well. It’s like the good old days were back again.
