It is a common misconception that all Caucasian babies have blue eyes at birth. I am living proof that is not the case. My eyes were such dark brown when I was born they were almost black!

I wonder if they will go skiing again in February like usual now that they've been once this winter?

I think it is so strange that Christian and Isabella are so fair when neither Fred nor Mary were fair as children. Those are some strong recessive genes I guess!

Thanks for the explanation. One can only wish there were more gentlemen in the world.

I know that the order of rank goes emperor-king-grand duke-archduke-prince and that a Grand Duke would not have to bow to a King as they are both Heads of State, but does a hereditary Grand Duke have to bow to a Crown Prince (or any the heir of a king) or are they considered to be equal because...

As a Canadian I wish that the royals were more involved in Canada. I don't know how exactly but I still wish it. I am not sure whether the Governor General's office needs to do a better job of its PR but as the Queen's rep in Canada it seems to be lacking. I hardly ever hear about the GG except...

You'd think the New York Times would be able to get this right, she isn't a princess! A simple Google search would tell you that. So much for fact checkers I guess.

Is this the lady in the wedding photos, the one whose hand Marie is holding?

I read somewhere, I can't remember where, that Marie's grandmother is a baroness, is this true?

I'm quite impressed with the modern approach the Lux. GDF take. I was impressed how they handled the Louis/Tessy situation (can you imagine how that would have gone down if it had been Prince Harry?), but there seems to have been no scandal. I am also impressed that this change to the...

From what I understand, unlike in England, there is no law requiring the spouse of a member of the LRF to be Catholic. There is a separation of church and state, even though the population is predominately Catholic, and the Grand Duke is not the head of the church as the Queen is in England. I...

Kate Middleton uncle drugs & vice shock | Prince William stayed with Gary Goldsmith | News | News Of The World Oh my, it seems that Kate's uncle is a bit of a scoundrel. Check out the video at the end of the article. He's quite the gentleman.

Thank-you for the information. Unfortunately I will be at a friend's wedding the weekend they are in Victoria. Too bad. It would be quite something to be able to say "I have seen an Emperor and an Empress in person".

Does anyone have a link to a calendar of events for this trip, in particular when they will be visiting Victoria? If I don't have to work I might try to go see them.

I'm not comfortable with the way this family seem to use their royal connections for their own gains. No one would care about the 18 month old mail order cake company of a 22 year old university drop out if his sister were not dating the second in line. Obviously, the Middletons cannot stop the...

Marie's younger brothers are from her father's second marriage, not her mother's.

I've always thought that Leonor resembled her grandmother.

And will Maxima become queen? I believe she isn't officially a crown princess, like the other wives of the crown princes, but will she become queen automatically as the wife of a king?

My first thought about the wedding being held in 2010 and not 2009 was that they were waiting a little bit in the hopes that the economic situation will have improved by then. Some people might take offense to a big wedding being thrown in the particular economic climate in which the world is...

Add to the smoking her habit of over tanning and she is going to age terribly. Too bad, she's so pretty.

I don't speak Danish, but does that say they will be attending the 2010 games in Vancouver? I hope so. I can't wait until all the royals come to town for the games! I hope I see some.

I wish they would come to Canada, specifically somewhere on the west coast. No royals, except the Brits, ever come here. :cry:

I agree. Whether she is speaking English or Danish, I think she sounds very nice. Her voice has a good amount of volume, and is not too high pitched or low pitched.

She has a Scottish Masters, which is the equivalent to a Bachelor from other countries... at least that is what I have been told.

Actually, I think it is just audio.. unless I clicked on something else.
