European Royals Discussion Thread Part 2

Don't know if I like this hair style of Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

From the last thread, Dutch Queen Maxima's oversize blue coat.

Maxima is one of the most flamboyant and colorful European royals. She's also very friendly.

Yes, I didn't want to like Maxima at first but I do. She's warm.

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg (of Cuban heritage) calls her "Latina" in this video. She seems very down-to-earth.

Maria Teresa in unseen photos from her younger days.

Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg, the only daughter of Maria Teresa and Henri, is pretty.

A royal marriage between Archduchess Gabriella of Austria and Prince Henri of Bourbon-Parma took place recently. The couple already has a daughter. Click for more photos.

Gabriella is the daughter of the former Princess Marie Astrid of Luxembourg. At one time, there was talk of Marie Astrid being a possible bride for Prince Charles but her Catholicism was an issue. Click for more photos of her in the link below. She was quite striking as a young woman.

Marie Astrid went on to wed Archduke Carl Christian of Austria.

Before the law of succession was changed (from males first to eldest child regardless of gender), King Carl Gustaf of Sweden was automatically the heir even though he was the fifth born child. His elder sisters were Margaretha, Birgitta, Desiree and Christina.

Was it changed in Luxembourg? Marie-Astrid is older than her brother.

Marie Teresa was a beautiful young woman and a stunning bride

Sofia of Sweden looked tremendous in her red gown and pearls at the Nobel ceremony, in the photos posted in the prior thread. Amazing.

Good for Victoria for re-cycling and re-wearing her mother's Nina Ricci gown. Those kind of looks can be timeless and it makes sense to re-wear them and pass them down if they fit. Loved it.

Good lord, the ROCKS on display at the Nobel ceremony! Sofia looks more regal than either Silvia or Victoria, both of whose dresses leave much to be desired - the Ricci dress needs more in the way of, er, real beauty to be carried off. Some designs just aren't done justice to by ordinary looking women.

Here's a link to the prior thread, in case it wasn't posted.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands wearing at a state dinner. Look at the size of those diamonds!

r17, I have never seen such a large collet used as a tiara.

This is one woman who is NOT afraid of spiders. She wears them. LOL.

New photos have been released for Queen Silvia of Sweden's 75th birthday.

Beatrix has quite the collection, doesn't she? Maxima certainly fell into it . . .

Victoria. Love the dress

Carl Philip and Sofia

Queen Mathilde of the Belgians is in the holiday spirit with her colorful outfit.

These three Danish sisters all made royal matches - Alexandra became the Queen of England, Dagmar became Maria the Empress of Russia and Thyra a Princess of Hanover. Click on the post below to view some great old pictures of the trio.

I'm quite surprised how much Queen Anne Marie of Greece looked like her sister Margrethe when she was young, but doesn't look anything like her now they're old.

And Margrethe for comparison.

And now. There's only 6 years difference between them. I wonder if any work's been done.

R32 - I don't think any of them have had any work done.

She's starting to look like Zippy.

Queen Letizia of Spain wore an interesting dress to a women's function in Madrid.

Queen Silvia of Sweden with her grandchild, Princess Adrienne.

The Norwegian Royal Family has released a couple of photos for Christmas.

They say that CP Mary went to some sort of finishing courses called Starmakers before she married into the Danish Royal Family. Matters of deportment, how to look someone in the eyes when conversing. Proper use of tableware, table manners and the like. It works for her because she comes off as classy to me. She’s from Tasmania, so she’s a tad raffish but she’s so charming. She’s got many detractors on the Royal forums...sounds like jealousy.

R44 - I like Mary of Denmark. I think she's doing a wonderful job in her royal role. I can see her taking a course like Starmakers. Too bad there isn't a course called "How To Be Royal 101". Some of the British royals need some instruction.

Maybe Princess Sofia of Sweden should have taken such classes.

R46 - Considering her background, I think Sofia is doing pretty good since her marriage to Carl Philip. She's surprised me.

The Hapsburg family just keeps growing - here is Archduchess Juliana.

The Queen of Denmark and her family attend a Christmas event.

Fat Albert and Frozen Face Charlene of Monaco with their twins.

R48 is she the daughter of those fundie Catholics

R51 - Juliana is the third daughter of Archduke Imre and his wife Kathleen. The Hapsburgs are a Catholic family as are most Austrians.

The Monaco twins are serving some serious Flowers in the Attic realness at r50

A royal blast from the past - I've seen this video before of the Romanov children playing on board a yacht. It always makes me sad to know that none of them would live long enough to enjoy their adulthood.

R56 their yacht was like palace itself. Alexander III ordered it but Nicholas II used it from 1895. They sailed by Finnish coast and met local people. Finland was the most peaceful area of Imperial Russia. Minnie, Nicky’s mother, was very popular, because she was from Denmark and spoke Danish and many people in Finnish coast spoke Swedish and were able to talk with the Empress.

Typical picture of Alix, always worried rarely smiling

Alix arriving at Standart with her four daughters. She told Nicky and Anna Virubova when attack in Sarajevo reached the ship their happy summers on yacht would end. She was right. Summer of 1914 was the last they used it.

How many descendants are there from the Russian Imperial Family?

New portraits of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg.

Maria Teresa has slimmed down somewhat. Good. She has a small head and was starting to look strange with that tiny head on a big body.

Prince Philippos has lost the hot.

This is an old Christmas card of the princely family of Monaco when Princess Grace was consort.

Frederik and Mary of Denmark stealing a kiss on the wedding day.

R64, I used to think Prince Philippos (who's named after the UK's Prince Philip) was going to turn out to be a big homo, but I guess I was wrong.

I was sure that Philippos was gay.

He still could be...the Greek Orthodox Church is quite homophobic. Being a royal means to put a stop on such unseemly behavior. Pearl necklaces are for women, giggles...

16-year-old Crown Princess Elisabeth of Belgium is back home to spend the holidays with her family. She's been attending school in Wales.

Madeleine’s husband is really dumpy looking. I hope at least he’s well endowed. She married him on the rebound anyway. Her previous fiancé was gorgeous but he cheated and her parents forbade the marriage in an attempt to save face. Can’t remember his name though.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. Is it me or is that bow are little too big?

I don't know for sure but the nose of Spain's Queen Letizia just keeps getting smaller and weirder by the year.

Letizia had her nose fixed years ago by it looks strange here.

R83 - you're thinking of Jonas Bergstrom. He was ok.

A Christmas photo of the Belgian Royal Family.

The Dutch royal family.

I like the Danish royal family the best. They just seem cool - the Queen too!

Luxembourg's Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie. She looks more fuller figured than usual. Perhaps she's expecting after all this time.

Crown Princess Viktoria of Sweden with her family.

R92 fertility treatments make you put on the pounds. There must be a lot of pressure on her. Is there much gossip on this? I don't follow them.

She does look bigger doesn't she? Normally I wouldn't speculate but since it's kinda part of the deal for the heir to procreate, here we are.

She's posing with her back oddly to the camera. Hmm. I can't find any recent photos of her, the most recent seem to be from the Netherlands visit last spring.

R94 I don't think she is the one with the problem , more like he just doesn't like women that way .

R95 - I haven't seen the couple in a while either. I believe Guillaume and Stephanie have been living in London. It was announced that he was continuing his education in that city but I always suspected that the real reason was because London has some of the best fertility experts in the world.

Shouldn't the Ducal family found out if she was fertile before she married Guillaume? They could have been spared of all this. Personally, I hope Felix and Claire's oldest inherits the title.

Below is another allegedly closeted royal, Prince Jaime de Bourbon-Parma of the Netherlands. King Willem-Alexander is his cousin. He accepted a post a couple of years ago as Ambassador to the Holy See, where supposedly a LOT of action takes place. He recently resigned from the post; don't know what he's doing now.

Our Crown princess Elisabeth of Belgium is really a beauty ! She reminds me of Queen Astrid who cam from Sweden and married a Belgian king and also the late queen mum of England

The four children of The King and Queen of Belgium.

R99 - Yes, I agree. There is a resemblance between Queen Astrid and Princess Elisabeth.

The oldest son, Prince Gabriel, is the only one who doesn’t look exactly like Phillipe

R102 - yes, Prince Gabriel most resembles his mother Queen Mathilde.

It took me awhile but I found these comparison photos of a young Mathilde next to Gabriel.

What's the big deal r104? That's her son, he should look like her...

In this day and age what difference is there if a British heir marries a Catholic?

there isn't r106. Not since the rule or law was changed to allow the monarch or those in order of succession to be married to Catholics and keep their place in line. It would be fine, but the Catholic spouse would have to agree in advance to raise their children as Anglican, as they are heirs and the monarch is the "Defender of the Faith" among other things.

Any of their children outside the immediate heir could convert to Catholicism on reaching adulthood. They'd lose their place in succession however.

I like many of Gustav Klimt's paintings especially this one.

^ Sorry wrong thread.

R111 Love Grace’s look. 60’s were a great era for fashion

Sweden has some of the BIGGEST tiaras around. Here are photos of Queen Silvia wearing them through the years.

Princess Caroline's daughter Charlotte Casiraghi is spotted with her new son, Balthazar. The baby's face is blocked out as is custom in many countries.

You may not be able to understand what he's saying but here is the Christmas message from King Philippe of the Belgians.

Any gossip on the Casiraghi siblings?

Why is Mary wearing only one glove? (third slide)

She is adhering to royal protocol and etiquette guidelines by removing the glove she will use to shake hands.

Cool fact: Queen Mathilde of the Belgians is actually Belgian.

Photos of yet another New Year reception in Copenhagen. I love the blue dress of Crown Princess Mary. Fur on the Queen? Yuck!

The former Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg is 98 years old today. He abdicated for his son Henri.

The former King Juan Carlos of Spain in 81 years old. He abdicated for his son Felipe. Here he is with his wife Queen Sofia.

A slide show of the life of Juan Carlos.

The children of Crown Princess Viktoria of Sweden (Estelle and Oscar) have no fear and great coordination while skiing.

Why do the older King’s abdicate? Isn’t being the chosen Monarch viewed as an appointment by God, thus lasting all of ones natural life?

R151 - It's different with European royals. They have events like "swearing in " ceremonies rather than coronations. I don't think the European royals who abdicated were CROWNED and ANOINTED with holy water from the River Jordan like Queen Elizabeth was at her coronation. The British monarch also lived through the trauma of King Edward VIII's abdication. When the Queen was 21 years old she made a broadcast and said these words: " My whole life -whether it be long or short - shall be devoted to your service"...I don't think the Queen will ever abdicate. She will relinquish her duties bit by bit to Charles but I don't think she'd go back on her word.

The other royal families don't have qualms about retiring and giving up the throne. It's almost expected in places like the Netherlands. The three Dutch Queens (Wilhelmina, Juliana and Beatrix) all abdicated. I expect that Willem Alexander will do the same in due time for his daughter Catharina-Amalia.

I just figured out there are lots of Royal children in Europe. 150 yrs ago they would have married one another.

R164 - yes but the royals are marrying "commoners" now instead of their fellow royals. That's good and bad. It's good for variety as far as the gene pool is concerned but bad because their standards have been lowered to such a degree that they risk becoming jokes (eg. divorced women, actresses, reality stars, women with children but no husband etc...).

Meanwhile, back in Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi is denying that she broke up with her fiancee. I doubt it will last whether she marries him or not.

R165 I suspect this is likely to become the norm. I personally think it’s boring when royals marry someone who is already titled or outrageously wealthy in some way. In a modern society, things like divorce, children out of wedlock, etc are the norm now. I know the royals aren’t really supposed to be modern, but I think it serves them better from a PR standpoint to marry for love.

Also, there seems to be MORE trouble with natural born royals and the super wealthy.

R165 Silvia brought much needed new genes to Bernadotte family.

R166, I think it was one of the Swedish royals who said that marrying Swedish commoners was a way to align the royal family more with the people, long-term. It certainly wasn't said that way, but that was what was implied. It does make sense, really. Long-term, no one can claim that the royal family isn't Swedish. And they could there for a while.

The future Queen of Norway (Ingrid Alexandra on the left) resembles her grandmother, Queen Sonja.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway is 15 years old today. She's a beauty.

It has been announced that Ingrid Alexandra will be confirmed in the Church of Norway in Aug. 2019.

R184 & R185 - Mabel is the Dutch Princess who lost her husband Johan Friso (brother of the current King). He was buried in an avalanche for 15 minutes, suffered brain damage and was in a coma for 1.5 years before dying. The couple had two children together.

Princess Mabel is also a human rights activist.

R186, can’t you read? Keep the BRF out of the thread. Fucking loser.

Henri D'Orleans, the Count of Paris, Pretender to the French Throne, died today at 85 years old.

At least he’s not pretending anymore....

So...is this just a picture thread or is there any actual gossip about the European royals?

Except for the House of Grimaldi, the continental royals seem rather boring and less prone to scandal compared to their British counterparts. Either that or other European countries don't have the type of tabloid culture as the UK that thrives off of royal gossip.

Speaking of the Grimaldi clan...today is Princess Caroline's birthday. Here are some nice photos of her through the years.

Spain's Queen Letizia has had much surgery/procedures done on her face but recently she went "natural" with her gray hair.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden visits a regiment. I'm cold just looking at this photo.

Princess Athena of Denmark turns 7 years old today. The dog looks thrilled!

The last Czarina of Russia's coronation robes. Alexandra was murdered with the Czar and their five children in 1918.

Empress Maria suffered the loss of her FOUR sons while still living herself. Two were murdered in 1918 (her eldest son was the Czar), one died of tuberculosis and the other of meningitis.

It's the birthday of Princess Charlene of Monaco. A woman who is almost unrecognizable from when she first appeared on the scene. Too much plastic surgery and/or too many procedures on her face.

Compare the first photo to the second photo and you will see a big difference in Charlene's face.

Princess Madeleine of Sweden has written a book.

There’s plenty of gossip about them. It’s just that they’re from countries where English isn’t the first language, so most of the tea spilled about them is seldom in English. And in Norway it’s against the law to say anything about the Royal Family. Paris Match and Der Spiegel have lots of gossip about them. That’s how people found out that Princess Mette Marit was cheating on Prince Haakon of Norway. It could not be printed in Norway.

re the norwgians... poor haakon? he really fought to be able to be with this woman who probably didn't really ever love him and just wanted not to worry about her next meal... he seems like a nice guy. now he's going to see her suffer and die soon-ish, too. dude hasn't had an easy life

Happy Birthday to handsome King Felipe of Spain.

I’ve been crushing on Crown Prince Haakon for years now. He truly loves Mette, but she allegedly has been unfaithful and more than once. That’s gender equality in Norway for you.

I hope that she doesn’t die. She looks like she should milk cows but she’s not a bad sort.

Princess Madeleine of Sweden with her mother Queen Silvia at a meeting with the World Childhood Foundation. One of the few times I've seen the Swedish queen having a bad hair day.

R236 Silvia’s face is tragic

R236 - are you alluding to her "plastic surgery"? I honestly don't think she's had any. She has a wrinkly neck and under-chin and surely that would've been taken care of with surgery?

R238 - sadly, I think Silvia has ruined her face. She WAS really pretty. How do her eyes look more "open" now than when she was much younger? You can have a face lift without a neck lift. Her face lift should have worn off by now so I wouldn't be surprised if we see another version shortly. Her cheeks are also noticeably "fuller".

Eyes wide open, chipmunk cheeks, trout mouth = Surgery and other procedures.

I dunno guys. I'm not buying it. I think if Silvia has had work done, it hasn't been much. My mother had a face lift when she was about 50 and it didn't "wear off" like R239 suggests they do. I'm not really buying it.

The Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway posts photos of her husband, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince Daniel skiiing together.

R241 it s well known in Sweden she has been in Brazil many times to have face lifts etc. She looks like smiling all the time

R241– she needs to take her over 40 daughter with her if Victoria wants to keep her husband

R246 - the only thing that is wrong with Victoria is her pointy chin which she inherited from her motherSilvia. But I would say she should leave it alone. In all fairness, Prince Daniel isn't drop dead gorgeous either so they're a good match. I've always thought that Victoria and Daniel resembled each other enough to look like siblings more than husband and wife. Here they are at the time of their engagement in 2009.

Another photo of Victoria and Daniel of Sweden.

Victoria and Daniel look more like siblings when they DON'T smile than when they do.

Queen Mathilde of Belgium.

I'm pretty sure we've discussed Rania's new face on one of these threads before. It's truly dreadful. Hopefully, it will settle. She was so naturally beautiful that her aging couldn't have been so bad as to distort her face with fillers. What a contrast seeing Martha Louise's picture right below. Though only a year younger, her naturally aging features are graceful and still beautiful, but Rania has had her face butchered with beyond recognition. She used to be so beautiful. Sure, the desert climate is harsh on skin, but FFS... She an Terry Dubrow ought to host some program together just for the giggles.

Rania was a ratched face dating back before she married that pudgy Prince Aladdin,

You do understand that the only reason for the existence of the rat faced Jordanian royalty is that the US uses it as a Air Base

Children on a red carpet? How gauche.

It’s like the Grimaldis just can’t help themselves. They must never want to be seen as a simple princely family, they need to be Kardashians. Those two twins are doomed for the same life as the rest of the family.

Happy Birthday to Princess Estelle of Sweden. There certainly are a lot of royal birthdays this month.

A haggard Princess Caroline and her daughter Charlotte Casiraghi attend Karl Lagerfeld's funeral.

There’s a certain sorrow in Caroline and Stephanie’s eyes that I can’t quite put my finger on. Like they’ve lived unfulfilled lives after a difficult childhood.

The late Queen Ingrid of Denmark with her two eldest daughters, Margrethe (present Queen) and Benedikte. The youngest daughter Anne-Marie is missing.

Those pictures of the Dutch royal family on ski vacation are great. I realize some of the pictures are posed for but they all look like there having a great time and enjoying being with each other. Not the vibes you get from some royal families.

Surprised a bit that the do look so happy skiing, given Prince Friso died just a few years ago from injuries sustained skiing (off piste). Back to the slopes. Glad to see them doing well.

Call me old-fashioned but I don't think Queens should wear black leather. Spanish Queen Letizia has done it a couple of times. Here are some photos of her leather dress from this week.

R292 - I agree with you. Letizia for the most part has good fashion sense. She makes her position look a little more business-like, which I think is good. Lots of lovely beautifully-fitted pants suits and such. But she can sometimes take it just a little too edgy for my taste.

King and Queen of the Belgians attended a concert. I love Mathilde's outfit.

Prince Oscar of Sweden celebrates his third birthday. He resembles his father Prince Daniel quite a bit.

Of her three Dutch royal daughters, it's the middle one, red-haired Princess Alexia, who resembles her mother Queen Maxima the most.

The middle one is the prettiest. The older one is typical Orange with the potato shaped head. And the youngest one, bless her heart. She looks special.

Crown Prince Haakon Magnus of Norway will have a minor surgery for exostosis in the ear canal. The surgical procedure take place at Rikshospitalet in Oslo. As a result, The Crown Prince will reduce his public activity for the next two weeks.

far as I know CP Victoria doesn’t use the German spelling Viktoria, although of course ethnically she is nearly all German with small slices of other in her blood.

Happy Birthday to Prince Albert of Monaco. Here are some old photos of him with his mother, Princess Grace.

Rumors of a romance between the late King Baudouin of the Belgians and his stepmother, Princess Liliane de Rethy have surfaced. This supposedly happened BEFORE his marriage to the Spanish aristocrat (Queen Fabiola). This news is surprising because Baudouin was a conservative and very religious man who didn't even want to sign legislation to legalize abortion in Belgium.

That rumor has been around for a while r322. I recall reading about it several years ago. Not sure there was anything to it.

Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde attend the funeral of Cardinal Danneels.

Charlotte of Monaco is hitting the dreaded Grimaldi Wall. Not nearly as pretty as she was. And it’s not natural aging, but booze, cigarettes, carousing and possibly some illegal substances.

Queen Margrethe of Denmark is visiting Argentina with her son Crown Prince Frederik.

When will Alexandra of Luxembourg marry? I never read anything about her being involved with anyone.

R327 - I've never heard any romance rumors regarding Alexandra of Luxembourg either. I think she's the best looking in her family. She's 28 years old so she may be thinking of settling down (or not). LOL.

Alexandra's cousin Princess Maria Annunciata of Liechtenstein is also a beauty (she's on the right in the photo)

Alexandra's sister-in-law, Princess Claire of Luxembourg, is beautiful.

Prince Nikolai of Denmark made the April cover of Vogue Ukraine. I like his close up photos.

I guess my question at this point is:

Is there any doubt at all that Prince Nikolai of Denmark is a homo?

He’s sexy. I think his mother Countess Alexandra is only half Asian?

The Chinese President visits Monaco.

The King and Queen of Belgium visit South Korea.

Alexandra’s brother Prince Felix, Claire’s husband, is quite good looking.

Letizia sure likes the color red. This time she wears a pantsuit.

Another Queen in red - Mathilde of Belgium.

I like Mathilde's embroided outfit she wore this week in South Korea.

Mathilde wore white at a reception as well.

The First Lady of Argentina is extremely youthful and attractive. Usually Letizia stands out as the youthful, fashionable one in official photos with world leaders and their wives. Not so here. I love the short dress the First Lady is wearing the the fringe hem, just long enough to make it respectful.

R346 - I think the Argentine First Lady Juliana is quite stunning!

Well is she?

R373 & R374 - I haven't seen Victoria smoke or heard that she smokes so I'm guessing she doesn't smoke.

R373– I am sure she smokes her husband’s pole regularly to keep her royal lifestyle going

Not likely since the husband is the one who married into the Royal family. Victoria is the future Queen Regnant of Sweden.

This thread is lame because nobody’s discussing anything, it’s just the same queen posting links over and over and over.

Well, I wouldn’t mind talking about the Grimaldis of Monaco. I like them. There’s been a little crazy here and there, but overall they seem like a close family, very stylish. Grace did a wonderful job of being princess and seemed a loving mother. I appreciate Caroline, such a stunning beauty in her youth and today a very attractive matriarch of the clan. I also find the daughters-in-law Beatrice Borromeo and what was the other one’s name? Tatiana? both to be very chic. Young princess Alexandra is always so ladylike in her dress and demeanor. Finally I think Charlene is gorgeous and projects a suitable air of serenity and mystery.

Thoughts, anyone?

I think the princely family of Monaco is interesting too. They’re a bit like an 80s nighttime soap opera. Nonetheless, their family and dominance over Monaco goes back to the 14th century if I’m not mistaken, and they made an interesting marriage in the 19th century with the daughter of an English duke and a German princess, so every Grimaldi thereafter has shared ancestry with most of the major royal Houses in Europe.

Are the Grimaldis respected amongst the royalty of Europe?

I’d say more now than before Prince Rainier mounted the throne. Monaco was considered a shady place and the family penchant for infidelity and out of wedlock children was distasteful for most royal and princely families. Rainier’s marriage to Grace raised the profile of the place, and his shrewd and strategic business skills saved the principality from Onassis, growing it physically through land reclamation and growing it upwards with skyscrapers and industry. Rainier and Grace were invited to most of the big royal events in the 60s and 70s like The Shah of Iran’s Persopolis celebration, the royal wedding of The King of The Hellenes and Princess Annmarie of Denmark, the royal wedding of The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana, among others. Queen Elizabeth is said to have a warm relationship with Prince Albert and was the first to call him when Rainier passed away. Caroline marrying a Continental HRH also helped the Grimaldi profile because she got to go to some royal weddings as her husband’s guest. Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain, granddaughter of Queen Victoria herself, was a godmother to Prince Albert.

I have to laugh. Hardly anyone from the British Royal Family would give the princely family of Monaco the time of day because of the reigning prince marrying an actress. They stuck up their noses to the Grimaldis for years. Now, they have a big LA grifter in their family. Karma is a bitch!

I am a fan of the Monegasque royal family however they do seem to like having children out of wedlock, my goodness.

The Grimaldi’s have a long tradition of it, going back to Prince Rainier’s grandfather siring a bastard and then being forced to adopt her or else have the family lose the throne the distant German cousins. In the WWI era, that was unthinkable.

[QUOTE] What sort of a person leaves a million dollar engagement ring in her purse in an unlocked car in Paris?

A wealthy countess

Is it lovely that if one is Queen, you can name an award after yourself and make people happy when they receive it from you? Here is the Queen of the Belgians at the Queen Mathilde Prize Award. I don't think her outfit is very flattering for her.

The middle Orange girl is turning out to be the hottest. The oldest (The Princess of Orange) inherited the blocky head that all Orange women seem to have except for Princess Irene, she also looks like the type who will have a lifelong struggle with her weight. The youngest daughter, bless her heart. She looks a little special.

But aren't folks from the Countess's social strata, women especially, fearful to the point of paranoia about the hoi polloi, R452? Or maybe a bodyguard got distracted during a smoke break while she was in the Loius Vuitton store?

The princely family of Monaco attend a rugby match. It looks like Charlene has had more work on her face. She can barely move her face and those trout lips are terrible. She will eventually look like the late Joan Rivers

The hereditary prince of Monaco already looks like a little assholeish

Martha Louise's choice of new partner isn't controversial due to his race, as much as he appears to be some kind of New Age guru/shaman. There are pics on him in robes on his Ig with Goop, of all people.

Here is a video of Martha Louise and her bf Shaman Durek. His fashion choices would be a disqualification right off the bat for me. LOL.

R464 - I've been going through Shaman Durek's Instagram and he seems to enjoy showing off his contacts with his celebrity friends. Lots of photos of him and various women. I'm getting a creepy, exploitive, manipulative vibe from him. That's the first impression I got.

That man is allowed to put his hands on The Queen of The Netherlands? And doesn’t she know better than to dance sexy in public?

R463 & R467 - the Dancing Dutch Queen video has been taken down. Censored.

.....

The Dutch royals take their privacy seriously. I believe The King tried to sue some papers years ago for snapping pics of his daughter.

Lovely picture of Princess Caroline, from a fun Instagram account devoted to Caroline in the 70s. I’ve always thought she was that rare child of a great beauty who is just as beautiful in her own way.

This is one of my favorite photos of Caroline.

I love this one too.

Caroline looked really happy and quite pretty at the time of her first engagement to Philippe Junot. What a cad he turned out to be.

Caroline was lovely on the cover of People mag.

Who remembers this petit scandale?

R486 - I remember where I saw that photo (or similar). On the cover of Time mag as "The Super Kid From Monaco". Caroline was quite the cover girl in her day.

Caroline reminds me of model Cristina Ferrare in this photo.

Here is model Cristina Ferrare.

Really, Caroline was the “it” princess before Diana came along. Caroline was probably glad to have the glare off of her.

R489 - Oh God yes. I remember that photo which was seen around the world. I'm sure her parents were wringing their hands trying to figure out how to rein this girl in. Stephanie gave them headaches too. Albert (the father of illegitimate children) was quite tame in comparison to his two sisters.

I think this photo was from a Seventeen magazine shoot in 1974.

I loved Caroline with curly short hair.

Topless Caroline.

Caroline found out later that her husband Phillipe Junot arranged for the tabloids to take photos of their honeymoon in Tahiti. I'm surprised the marriage lasted two years.

I liked Caroline's wedding dress but the flower headgear was not very attractive.

Phillipe junot went on to marry and divorce a blonde woman named Nina and had three children - Victoria, Alexis and Isabelle. His kids are much better looking than he ever was in life.

While the British royals were attending the marriage of Lady Gabriella Windsor, there was another royal wedding held today. Alexandra, the daughter of Denmark's Princess Benedikte was married in a low key ceremony . Photos in the link below.

Interesting, Alexandra chose not to wear the Khedive tiara which many of Queen Ingrid’s descendants have worn at their weddings. She’s wearing the floral tiara which can also be taken apart and worn as brooches, I think a Berleberg piece originally.

Were Queen Margrethe II and Queen Annmarie there?

Oh wait a minute. Marriage #2 for Alexandra already? She DID wear the Khedive for her first wedding.

How does this old butterface keep finding husbands?

What do we think of Beatrice Borromeo? I think she is very glamorous, and exudes great confidence

She’s very brave too, she does investigative journalism and outed one of the Italian royals in some manslaughter scandal. Unless I’m confusing her with the other ones wife.

Princess Stephanie of Monaco's only son, Louis Ducruet, will marry his gf Marie in Monaco this July.

You can see the recent weight gain in Ingrid Alexandra's face in these photos.

The Norwegian royal ladies - left to right: Sonja, Ingrid Alexandra and Mette-Marit.

The crown prince’s kids weight issues come from their mother, who goes through plump periods. Nowadays she’s probably bloated from steroids due to her lung condition. Still, they look healthy and they’re big outdoors people so they’re probably fit.

Yep, Charlene of Monaco is officially a freak.

This thread is boring. It could have been great and full of gossip but instead it’s the same poster droning on with single posts “King Phillipe opened a Tesco”, “Queen Maxima wore green”, Princess Victoria is touring Denmark, etc. No ones really biting because it’s boring. Where’s the dirt?

R535 - I see you didn't give any gossip of your own or contribute in any way other than whining. Why are you here then? if you don't like it, fuck off then.

I was wondering what happened to Charlene this spring. She was in Africa solo for awhile and I think she went under the knife. Click on the link below and swipe until you get to a close up of her face. Charlene has ruined what looks she had. Cheek implants, trout mouth...God her face is a mess.

For a tall and statuesque woman, Charlene chooses some terrible clothes. I'm sure this outfit is expensive so she should ask for her money back.

One of Charlene's eyes is wonky. Really bad surgery. No more gurl!

^ sorry for the double post.

This red dress is better but I'm thinking that Charlene got her breasts enhanced too. They're bigger and lopsided to my eyes.

I think this is one of Charlotte’s best looks. She really resembles her mother. Though her mother’s features in youth were a bit finer.

Was this wedding a surprise? Last I heard they had broken up.

R562 - when the story came out that Charlotte and Dimitri had broken up, it was denied by the couple. The marriage isn't a surprise, the surprise will be if it lasts. I don't have a good feeling about it.

More photos of the wedding @ R568. I like her tiara.

Princess Stephanie's daughter Pauline Ducruet wore black to her cousin's wedding. How festive.

Sorry but they can't dance.

Charlotte wore her grandmother Princess Grace's necklace.

I like Charlotte's slicked back hair but her husband can't pull it off as well.

The gorgeous venue for the wedding reception.

Caroline looked splendid at the wedding.

Has Dimitri filed for divorce yet?

R583 - It's interesting that Charlotte and Dimitri seem to have had only a CIVIL CEREMONY not a RELIGIOUS one. In Catholic Monaco, that's odd.

Maybe the groom is Muslim or they're both atheists.

Charlotte's brother Pierre seemed to be having a good time.

The full outfit of Pauline Ducruet @ R571.

Purest speculation, could Charlotte be pregnant again? You know how those Grimaldi women are.

The former King Constantine of Greece celebrated his birthday with his family.

Will we ever see Princess Charlene wearing a tiara? Either she skips the events that Albert gets invited to on the Continent, or he doesn’t want her there. I don’t get it. The one time she did go to a gala royal event (crown princess Victoria’s wedding) everyone else was in tiaras) she didn’t wear one.

Princess Madeleine is absolutely lovely. Such a vibrant, animated face.

I just watched the video of the wedding of Sophia and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden. I thought it was a beautiful and touching wedding. I never really liked her until I saw this video.

The long wait of Carl Philip up at the alter was excruciatingly painful. His best man kept making weird faces. The orchestra should have played something to kill the time. Almost all of the royal ladies were scowling, including Sophie Wessex.

I wonder if the delay was because they were trying to quiet the crying child in the back beyond the closed doors. Could the wailing kid have been part of the wedding party (page or flower girl) but had a meltdown?

You could hear the kid crying throughout the WHOLE ceremony. Someone should have dragged the kid's ass completely out of the church to a faraway location.

I was worried that the royal toddler was going to act up. Who brings young children to a wedding even if they are royals?! Crown Princess Victoria had her baby the next day.

The Enya song that the orchestra played as Sophia walked up the aisle was incredibly beautiful. Carl Philip is so in love with her and expressed it. She did too. Her dress, tiara, and the flowers were all pretty.

The song at the end was fun.

Here is the Enya song , "Athair Ar Neamh (Father in Heaven)" with English translation.

For those who never saw Frederik & Mary's wedding. Very touching how Crown Prince Henrik's eyes welled up with tears while waiting for Mary and even after she arrived at the altar. Her bouquet was unusual. Her adult bridesmaids (including 2 of her sisters and a friend) wore very sophisticated dresses. The dresses almost seemed like a mix between a sarong and a Vietnamese dress (Ao Da).

Mary's dad was adorable in his kilt.

Prince Frederik is such a cutie. He's even cuter when he has his scruff/beard.

R598 - Albert also has an illegitimate son with this woman. I wouldn't be surprised if he has more children out there.

He's quite the catch! No wonder Charlene barely smiles. OK, maybe she can't anymore with all of the work she's had done on her face.
