February was an exciting month for royal watchers - King Harald's 70th birthday celebrations pulled in royals, and his relations, from all over Europe - and we got to take a look at the glitter that some of us so enjoy. Princesses and Queens in tiaras at night, and, during the day, in warm clothing, as Oslo was quite the cold place to be.
Following the party theme for February, the Academy Awards in Los Angeles that followed the night after the gala dinner in Oslo - showed of just as many interesting gowns. And continuing with the royal theme: Sunday, February 25, 2007, Helen Mirren accepted an Academy Award in the category Best Actress. She won the award by her portrayal of HM Queen Elizabeth II in the movie “The Queen.” 60 years earlier, in 1957, Cary Grant accepted the award in the same category on behalf of Ingrid Bergman. Ingrid Bergman received the Best Actress award for her role as Anastasia/Anna Karoff in Anastasia. Both these movies have royal connections. Therefore, the topic of March’s newsletter is Royalty in the Movies.
In addition to the 10 brief summaries of movies featuring royals - be they real or fictional - below - there's also a thread dedicated to the topic: Be sure to also check out http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/f12/royalty-movies-37.html and share with us your favourite, or least favourite movie on the topic of royalty.
Spring is a time for renewal. New life bloom outside, and some might like to reevaluate their lives. The Danish court also presented us with the news that Princess Alexandra, the ex-wife of Prince Joachim, is doing just that. On March 3, 2007, Alexandra said goodbye to the life of royalty, and joined the nobility as H.E. Alexandra Christina, the Countess of Frederiksborg.
Happy March, everyone.
