I understand what you mean. It's having high expectations due to what's been shown in the past. And it feels disappointing when those expectations are not being met (anymore). Besides, not every woman loses her looks as she grows older. Some retain their beauty, youthful looks, whatever. I find...

This article explains in detail why Delphine is dissatisfied: https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20231214_97458398 She finda PM De Croo's declaration a "pretty bizarre explanation" and "it feels like I'm being punished for not receiving a dotation". She clearly feels a victim of the system, which...

Although the photo doesn't blow me away, I do think it's a nice one. And re-enacting the 2013 photo is a fun idea in itself, considering King Philippe's 10-year anniversary. The children have all grown so much.

I think that "equal treatment" should be clarified - how she is treated now (in her experience) as opposed to how she should be treated, for example. Within the possible ranges, of course, because she simply isn't equal. That she shares King Albert II as father with Philippe, Astrid and Laurent...

No, I don't like this year's photo. It looks too stark for me and indeed somehow devoid of warmth. It rather looks like an obligatory family photo. I don't know whether it is because of the photographer (Josh Shinner instead of Matt Porteous) or the composition of the photo. The photo gave me a...

Somewhat disappointed that it isn't a family photo taken on Coronation Day (which was my last hope). Still a missed chance IMO. I'm not sure about this photo yet, because of aforementioned reason.

I don't understand what's so difficult to understand about Delphine's position. At nieuwsblad.be there is a members-only article that says that the palace is apparently surprised about her letter "It has been clearly explained to her twice, we thought she understood." She *is* not the same as...

Kondolenzbuch.li does work, without the www dot start.

That is true, I was awestruck by how regal the Wales family looked and truthfully, that is what I expect in that position. It's not Charles and Camilla's fault that they lack that, but still. William does have that regality and Catherine the glamour, so to me the math is done. Hopefully when...

At bloody last, two photographs that are essential to the collection. Had they released those last week, it would have saved me from a hangover. The only one missing is a Wales family portrait. The coronation was not what I had hoped for. Now I realize I miss Queen Elizabeth II's glamour and...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had hopes along those lines. I even had a picture of it made in my own mind. William and Catherine in their full robes with George, Charlotte and Louis in their attire as we have seen it. I think it is a missed chance, although there may be a possibility that...

I am happy that Anne and Timothy and William and Catherine have such a prominent place next to Charles and Camilla. Although I would have liked to see the Wales children as well. Summarized I like the photos very much, but feel disappointed in the amount released. Only four for such a...

You're free to have your own opinion, like I have mine. I didn't say she loathes it (somewhat reluctant is miles apart from loathing) and I also didn't say that she doesn't look great - which she does. It has also been said by others in her inner circle, when Queen Elizabeth II was still...

That's not what I mean. Some Queens have an aura, vibe, as if they were born for the role. Like they step into it naturally. Camilla has that somewhat reluctant vibe. Another angle is that she had a predecessor who was originally meant to be Queen one day, But that is a totally different...
