It's not awkward at all. It was mentioned around the time of the abdication what jewels were Margrethe's personal property and what would be now available for Mary to wear. Queen Alexandrine's sapphires, the Golden Poppy tiara, the daisy brooch, and some other bits and bobs were given to...

Okay, so, my question for her would be, why marry a prince, and a prince that high up in the food chain, if you didn't want to follow the same rules/protocols every other woman who married into the BRF had to follow? Yes, being a working royal is constraining, far more than being a Hollywood...

I didn't misunderstand your question. You asked two different questions, and I answered one of them because I couldn't answer both of them. Your first question was who was genealogically senior to George I, and I said I believed it to be James II's son. With no Act of Settlement barring...

I believe that would be James Francis Edward Stuart, the son of James II and Mary of Modena. He was Queen Mary II and Queen Anne's half-brother and James II's only legitimate son to live to adulthood. He later married and had two sons who lived to old age, so assuming he became king after Anne's...

One, Einstein said it, and two, the bolded section is...it's something. I don't like either of them, so I'm not cheerleading her, but her maternal heritage traces back to Nigerian tribes. Which one, who knows, but DNA doesn't lie. Considering there is 0.0% African blood in Harry, that would make...

We've seen that red Jenny Packham gown on the Princess of Wales, only hers was a pale pink, I believe.

Thank you for the information, Muhler! You're a pinch to have around for any Denmark-related questions. That's an interesting picture. I rather enjoy the feather boa on the young lady on the far left. I was raised Catholic, and if I'd worn a feather in my confirmation photo, my parents would...

Naval uniform AND glasses? Does Frederik read my posts here? LOL (God, I hope not. LOL)

Hmm. Frederik was only 13 when he was confirmed, but both Christian and Isabella were 15. Maybe Muhler can help us out -- has the age of confirmation changed, or did Frederik and Mary choose to have their kids wait a couple of years?

She's looking more and more like her mother every day. Which isn't a bad thing! That white Chanel dress could have just as easily been worn by Caroline 40 years ago, and it would still be chic.

They're all diamonds, and I believe they're her personal property.

Yes, women are far more scrutinized for what they wear than men are. Has been true since the dawn of time and will continue to be true long after the heat death of the universe and we're colonized on another planet. It's not about the expense of the attire (as a private individual, her...

LOL. She really is quite ridiculous. Harry threw his family in the trash for a modern-day Wallis Simpson, only this one isn't a Nazi admirer. I'm not sure who advised her that going to a predominately Muslim country with a wardrobe that is best suited to the Riviera (French or Italian, take your...

Well, we found out! He did so today in honor of his birthday. What a lovely honor for Mary. ;-)

As a teenage girl, it has to be great that your mom is such a fashionista. You get access to her clothes AND shoes!
