Or alternatively, Ex-Benedict ;):biggrin:

I see a lot of Mary in Christian but I think he'll develop into a similar figure not unlike his father. Isabella resembles her father around the eyes and forehead, whereas her cheeks and mouth are very similar in shape to her mothers. Josephine will I think look more like her mother as an...

Personally, I was content with the level of coverage shown. The couple made the news every night in Victoria, and on every channel. They also appeared in the papers every day as well. At the Melbourne Cup the cameras spent some 15 minutes on them during their arrival with an accompanying...

I'm not all that keen on black pearls (in fact, I don't like them at all). I find that they suit very few and are often strung quite unpleasing to the eye.

:previous: Diamond necklace, T-shirt and jeans? I've heard it all!

I think he looks quite distinguished; certainly as he's aged he looks more and more sophisticated than he did in his 30's and 40's. He looks to be in very good shape. Charles knows, and has long believed, that we are what we eat. His diet would naturally support a healthy immune system and a...

Or, being in New Zealand and not Australia, perhaps her evening gown would be more likely to attract a Kiwi ;) And although it's a fairly unattractive gown, I can appreciate what Camilla was trying to convey through the use colour.

This is one of my favourite brooches owned by Camilla. I think it's a fantastic piece of craftmanship and the design is well inspired. It's gorgeous and unusual.

Not sure. Possibly at a private function. Either the Duchess received it OR it shall be presented by a 'delegation' who travel to London to present it at a later date.

Gift from the Australian Monarchist League - www.monarchist.org.au Whichever clown took this photo, clearly thought it "best" to use flash photography! Besides the pearl (I think it's a little disproportionate in size to the actual brooch), I find it a beautifully fashioned piece of...

:previous: I think theres a difference between being taken to heart and being given a chance and it is the latter to which I truly refer. As you say, those who are resolute in their prejudice are unlikely to re-evaluate their opinions. They are content to hold a grudge against a woman they do...

Their time in Ausralia, in particular, has been time well spent PR wise. The newspaper columns were remarkably encouraging, if not tame, and those who met them have nothing but praise for the couple. Am I surprised by this? No, not really. All that was needed was a chance for Australian's...

Mary accessorised well I think. I particularly like the tan hide clutch. The cut of the dress is flattering and although I'm no fan of blue myself, the colour suits her very well.

Tina wasn't a Hofdame. Tina was Mary's 'Lady's Maid'.

Perhaps you missed the description of the Australian gift in my initital post, Queen Camilla? As can be seen in the photo's provided by Artemisia, there's no pearl, no eucalyptus shaped leaf in white gold and no array of Australian gemstones in the shape of the Southern Cross. Again, I think...

That's not a brooch, but a pin worn by most people who attend the Melbourne Cup VIP Committee lounge and or sponsored Marquee's. The brooch from the Australian Monarchist League is still yet to be seen. Infact, I'm thinking it may be presented some time over the next 24 hours before they...

Camilla becomes a colonel in chief Cookies must be enabled | Herald Sun Royal suit in the making? I'll drink to that! http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/celebrity/royal-suit-in-the-making-ill-drink-to-that-20121108-290t0.html#ixzz2BguExsm8

I've never seen a photograph of a royal so visibly moved. The poor dear :(

There are muriel. Just type Duchess of Cornwall - zimbio into your google search engine and it will take you there :smile: (Added: may as well provide the link: http://www.zimbio.com/Duchess+of+Cornwall/pictures/pro )

Yesterday in Adelaide, Charles and Camilla visited the Penfolds Magill State Winery (envious it was them and not I). 'Penfolds' is Australia's foremost premiere wine producer and has become one of the worlds most famous wines along the way. A bottle of 1951 Penfolds Grange Hermitage can set a...

Australian's don't view the BRF as our royal family because they aren't. We have a Queen and only a Queen and that works pretty well I think. The Prince of Wales, as heir apparent to the Australian throne, holds a particularly significant position although he too is not someone who generally...

Opals are Australia's signature gem stone, UserDane. A well founded association on your behalf ;)

:previous: Successful tour aside, I can't envision any such amendmant coming to fruition myself. As it stands, only the monarch hold's any constitutional significance within this sovereign Commonwealth (we don't even have a royal family) and all other member's of our soverign's family, inlcuding...

If you're fine with it then that's what matters, 'Tom'. But it was up to you as to whether or not your identity should have been made known on this forum and thats why I suggested that a member perhaps ask you privately as opposed to publically. It's your image afterall and you're entitled to...

So glad that your time and efforts paid off for you Tom. What a memorable few days you and Bert have experienced. Very deserving!
