I am confused. The palace approved the publication of this year's airport photos, but last year's beach photos were an invasion of privacy? I don't really see the difference, nor can I figure out what the thinking behind these decisions might be. Arbitrarily picking and choosing when they...

I agree. I think it has reached a point where it would be wise for the royal house to issue a denial- if the rumors are untrue. The fact that they haven't done so is making me wonder...

When did Andrea and her husband split up?

Wasn't there also an actress called Olivia D'Abo?

Who said she was?

She doesn't have to be trendy or hip, or even stylish. But she is the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg- she should not be representing her country in public looking like she just rolled out of bed. I don't think it's too much to ask that her clothes be suitable to the occasion, properly...

If Madeleine is going to be in Sweden in late December (Queen Silvia's birthday) that probably means she is planning to give birth there. Don't airlines forbid pregnant women from flying in their third trimester?

So Tessy's siblings consist of two sets of twins? (Not sure how reliable my online translation is.) How interesting!

The one before was no better, IIRC.

I believe those are the shoes Victoria wore at Estelle's baptism.

Wow, I somehow totally missed that line when I read the original post- thanks for pointing it out! To me, the phrase "brought up" is not entirely clear. I imagine different people could have different ideas of what it means, which could be problematic. Since the Act does not contain specific...

I seem to have missed something- who is being referenced here? Also, just as a general comment on being an educator, I can tell you that liking children- even relating well to them- does not automatically mean you will be an effective teacher.

Where in the Act of Succession does it say everyone in line for the throne must be raised in Sweden? As pointed out earlier, that is a rather imprecise requirement- what exactly does it mean?

Why would it be a disaster for William to be unmarried now?

IIRC there was a single report on a gossip website, which included no sources. (The wife in question did not identify the woman she held responsible for the break-up of her marriage, and the comments she did make were so general as to apply to almost anyone.) Friends of the couple have...

I am aware of that, and my comment wasn't meant to be critical of Charlene. I feel tremendous sympathy for her, because if the couple ultimately don't have any children (for whatever reason) she is going to take the blame.

Well, there's certainly no question about Albert's fertility, is there?

But as we keep hearing whenever someone questions Kate's lifestyle, workload, etc., Kate is not the wife of the heir, so she should not be held to the standard of Diana or even Camilla. So why should the Middletons receive the "perks" the families of those ladies got/get?

I've always found this particularly ironic, considering there were actually around 60 people present at the birth of James II's son, including several government ministers.

I wonder why she consistently under-dresses for this event?

It depends on the event, IMO. We are not talking about a July 4th barbecue or even a birthday party. My husband would need an exceptionally good excuse to miss my brother's wedding.

No, she came by car.

That's interesting. I thought I remembered reading that Victoria wanted all the Kings and Queens after her to be Alberts and Victorias.

Really? I admittedly don't know much about business, but we have several such companies here already, both online and otherwise. Is there something in particular that Party Pieces offers that other similar companies don't?

At one time I had two bookcases full of royal books, but now I am down to one shelf.
