In the March issue of Vogue magazine, I read a brilliant letter in the ''Talking Back'' section.
Here's what the writer says:
''Thank you VOGUE for the ''EUROFLASH'' (Referring to the fashion shoot and article with Tatiana, Eugenia and more) article. I found it interesting. European socialites shoud grace the covers of more magazines. Unfortunately, they are often overshadowed by trashy and vulgar socialites like Paris Hilton and her ilk.
On the contrary, the ''bright young things'' in Europe show class and etiquette. They're not publicity-seeking party monsters who pop up everywhere. I especially like Charlotte Casiraghi's style and poise. She seems to be a copy of her mother, Princess Caroline of Hanover (and Monaco). I also liked the way you added Middle Eastern socialites like Petrina Khashoggi, who has a Middle Eastern mother, and Camilla Al Fayed. Being an Arab myself, I found it a nice bonus. People have this stereotype that we are constantly covered up and unable to enjoy wearing a sleeveless Chanel or Versace dress. Please continue to include European socialites in your coverage, and thank you again for the excellent article.''

She's completely right. I totally agree with her. We need to see more of Charlotte and less of Paris and these other fake socialites. The good thing is that Charlotte doesn't want the attention. At the end of the day, Charlotte comes from a family of monarchs. Who is Paris Hilton?
Apparently, the Vogue reader who sent the letter has the last name of Al-Sabah. She says that she's from Kuwait. Aren't the Al-Sabah family the Royal Family of Kuwait or something like that? Do you think she knows Charlotte? Every summer, these rich royal Arabs are always in Cannes or Paris. In Cannes, you see these rich royals with their yachts and whatnot. Perhaps this girl knows Charlotte, Eugenie and so on. If she does know Charlotte, she's so lucky. What is Charlotte like with her friends? She seems like a very fun person to hang around with.
Anyway, in last week's Hello Magazine, they talk about Charlotte being in London for fashion week.
