The Farr 40 is simply a very expensive boat and the so called "world championship" simply an extravagant OTT competition promoted by the Farr 40 yacht builder for very rich people- it doesn't rate as a world championship as the boat races in the Olympics for example do. Nobody follows the Farr...

The only royal family member not present was Prince Andrew but his daughters where there and the Duchess of Kent was there too- her hair looked lovely and, considering her age, she looked almost like Helen's sister not her mother. I presume the seating of Harry and William was purposely done to...

But you living in an immigrant country should surely realise that a mother tongue is completely different to the second language that adults have to learn. There is nothing wrong with accents and as far as I am aware I thought Henrik had a very good Danish vocabulary - just with a French accent...

There are also some Danes who do not think her Danish is impressive but certainly as far as an accent is concerned that is moot- we all have accents, even those born and bred in a country can have huge different accents, so not sure why Henrik's accent for example is problematic in Denmark...

I wasn't aware of any close connection between the two either until Diana had riding lessons from Hewitt for herself and then her sons- long after Harry was born.

And why not have the Prince Consorts as Kings.:ermm: Actually I think The Netherlands has done a good job in dealing with the titles so far and I hope that Maxima remains the Prince(ss) Consort as her husband's ancestors have been and as should all the other spouses with the new inheritance...

You are quite right - one cannot ignore any of the articles in fact and that is what people who read negative stories do not understand. Many sad tales of all royals usually start like this and then end up being printed by all the press as it eventually is acknowledged as the truth.

Quite right Empress- hence we should all ignore the sensationalised royalty articles in Hello magazine etc.;)

But I was not referring to fashion or sports- her choice of patronages in general is definitely relevant to her character as all personal choices are to everyone so please, why are you using my quote.:unsure:

I would have thought that the types of events she attends are in fact representative of her character. At the beginning of her royal career did she not state that she was assessing what charities etc she wished to support?

Do the Zorreguietas have their own arms- that is unusual, unless they were given them as the Danes have done for John Donaldson?

Is this the picture? Click on "Back Cover" in the selections. It looks like the tiara but hard to see. Amazon Online Reader : Tiaras - A History of Splendour

Some very interesting photos- amazing, where did you find them all? They did love each other back then and his reaction to her death, I think, showed his affection for her.

How can we have on opinion on a little one whom we have not seen really?

How nice of them to pose for official photos. They are an exceptional family indeed.

Shouldn't you have used this :lol: in your post? Are you actually being serious in describing my post as being "nonsense"?

OK this is an old question but one that I have never had an answer to. When the funeral was being broadcast Barbara Walters described the 3 floral arrangements on Diana's casket/coffin as being from her 2 sons and the Spencer family. The "Diana" rose arrangement became famous because of the...

If they wish for Maxima to be titled Queen OK, but make sure when Amalia becomes Queen that her husband becomes King of the Netherlands too.

Queen Elizabeth- the oldest and yet still the hardest working of all the European monarchs through all the 55 years of her reign.

May I ask what you mean by the term circus?

Are these the first photos of the family? Lovely ones indeed; thank you Henri. Amalia reminds me of Princess Beatrice at that age.

Thought they were delphiniums.

Problem with marrying "common" commoners is that soon our royals will be just the same as the folk down the street. OK for them but if that is the case then we should become republicans and vote for whom we want as our head of state. The aristocracy are part of our history- yes, some deservedly...

I believe the niece is Laura Fellowes and the nephew looks like the McCorquedale son.

She looks adorable and so characterful.
