Overall they look okay and very happy. The groom looks dash but I don’t like the black waistcoat at a wedding, and for sure not on the bridegroom. He’s not in mourning. The bride looks okay, but…to me the hairdo ages her a ton, and the dress looks beautiful but a bit too simple for a Duchess...

Is Prince William wearing a different uniform than that he got married in? Wasn’t he wearing a different one that day?

Not a fan of the dress. I’m not sure it will age well. The necklace is totally lost. I personally had much higher expectations for Mary’s first portrait as Queen, given the incredible portraits she has had for her birthdays and all. All in all it’s good, but not a wow thing. I’d had preferred...

Why do you think she won’t leave anything to Mathilde? Are they in bad terms?

Has Prince Vittorio Emanuele been buried in Superga in the end? I’ve seen no updates on this regard. Thanks

Oh dear such terrible news. He has always looked happy and smiley.

A huge gathering but I personally still don’t get it at all. I don’t see why so much attention is granted the late King Constantine that he needed several memorials and in different countries. The anniversary of HM Queen Elizabeth II was barely noticed and no huge gathering of royals was called...

Marina comes from a wealthy family while VE inherited from his parents and from his business. He studied Economics and after working in some Banks in Geneva, he worked with other entrepreneurs as an intermediary and a broker. He played the intermediary in the sale of helicopters to Iran being...

The villa in Vesenaz was sold in late 2023 for 13m Swiss francs. With it they also auctioned several pieces of furniture and objects. VE and Marina has moved years ago to their chalet in Gstaad and the villa had been empty for years so they decided to sell it. Most furniture was designed by...

No, it alternates between Prince of Naples and Prince of Piedmont.

I think Vittoria has become the new Princess of Naples, while Marina has become the Dowager Princess of Naples (I don’t think she’ll be known by that anyway). Clotilde has become the new Duchess of Savoy and remains princess of Venice (it’s a title not linked to the succession to the Headship...

The deceased Victor Emanuel went to the Funeral of Queen Fabiola and was seated behind the Belgian Royal Family. Also Emanuele Filiberto a couple years said in an interview that he was coming straight from a skiing weekend with the brother of the King of Belgium (I assume he meant Prince Laurent).

Yesterday night in Italy was the Finale of the Festival of Sanremo, that gathered 75% of Italians in front of the TV and all TV shows talk about it relentlessly. It was bad timing for the Funeral as little to no space has been devoted by the Media. They all focused on SanRemo. I’ve seen only a...

Agree. I kept looking at him, he was so similar. He has to be Thomas Jenssens, first son of Marie Elizabeth Zellinger de Balkany, daughter of Princess Maria Gabriella. He really looks like a mix of Ella and VE. Impressive...

I believe it’s a list made up by journalists, not approved by the House or released by it.
