Oppie said:This is sort of a random story. A few months ago I was visiting my grandmother and she very proudly informed us that her god son was getting married. Turns out she was talking about Prince Floris who is the godson of the Royal Canadian Legion (the pictures from the WWII rembrance show him in a Legion unform). Anyways here is a small article from the Legion magaizne.
Members, Your Godson Is Getting Married
Prince Floris of the Netherlands, godson to all Royal Canadian Legion members, has announced plans to marry Aimee Söhngen later this year.
The couple met while Söhngen was studying at Leiden University. She is currently employed as a project manager at the Fortis Bank and her favourite sports are golf and skiing.
Prince Floris is the fourth son of Princess Margriet of the Netherlands who was born in Ottawa during World War II. When he was born the Legion was given the honour of becoming his godparent as a way of marking the sacrifices of Canadians who had given their lives in WW II to liberate the Netherlands. When he reached the age of majority he was invited to become a member of the Legion and an honorary dominion officer.
Dominion Command has sent its congratulations on behalf of all Legion members, wishing Prince Floris and Söhngen a long, healthy and prosperous marriage.

Squidgy said:I was surprised to see those comments too Alexandria. Normally, I wouldn't think much of them, but they did come from people who I don't think just throw their opinions around lightly.
I know that looking at pictures of Aimee, there is often a hardness that comes across. This was especially evident at the engagement announcement. In photographs taken on that day, Anita came across as a more soft and open person compared to Aimee. But, I am just making my judgments by looking a photographs. And a photograph can tell a thousand stories, but also a thousand lies.
So I too would really love to hear about what the Dutch think of their future princess.
(BTW, Welcome back Alexandria!)
Squidgy said:Alexandria, when I clicked on the part of your text that says "Pictures here" the first post that comes up is XXPatrickXX's (from the Netherlands) and it says "I love Aimee!!" So I guess we know at least how one Dutch member feels about Aimee.
Genevieve said:Aimee does look more pretentious and haughty than her other sisters in laws. But that just might be her look and her personality is completely different.
Floris seems so humble and down to earth though it's hard to believe that he might choose a life partner who was snobby.
